some to make a full or partial report In
London of lis findings, he regretted
that they would be disappointed. Tbe
Commltteo felt that It should make
but one report, and advice received In
dicated that considerable preparation
had been tnado for tbo Committee's re
ception lu New York City on Sunday,
March 31.
However, said Pastor Itusacll, things
are marvelous today, and with the
wonderful facilities for communica
tion, llrltlshci's, as well as tbe peoplo
of the United States and Canada, will
receive the report at practically the
same tlmo through hundreds of their
prominent newspapers.
Very Significant Text,
Ills text was this: "God bath uiudo
of oue blood nil tuitions of men, for to
dwell upou the face of the earth; and
bath determined the times before ap
pointed and tbe bounds of their habita
tions, Unit they should seek tlio Lord,
if haply they might feel after Illm and
Und Mini." (Acts xvll. 20, 27.) He
sflld:-
Our text Is taken from Saint Paul's
addrexs to the Athenians, whom ho
found so religiously Inclined that they
bad erected an Idol to every known
deity, and then oue prominently "to the
unknown iud." The words of my text
Jiare been repeatedly borne In upon my
mind lu my sojourulngs of the past
four months. I marveled as I perceiv
ed tbe thorough nous of the division of
the human family as a result of the
confusion of hiiniuii language. Time
and again tho Apostle's statement that
(led bad "determined the bounds of
their habitations" Impressed mo.
Our text explains the mutter; It
was of Uod; and we w ill doubtless yet
see more particularly than now bow It
worked somo good for all-staying the
downward tendency of sin.
Of On Blood All Nation,
My wider contact with humanity Im
presses the Apostle's declaration that
our various nationalities are all of one
blood--or lire of one original parent
age. And In this scientists, usually
wholly out of accord with the Itllilo,
agree. They do not claim that our
rc evolutcd from many monkeys, but
merely from one pair. It seems strange
Indeed to mo that some of these learn
ed gentlemen so persistently bend their
efforts to antagonise the llllile-eu-doavorlng
to prove a human evolution
In conflict with the lllhlo declaration
that Uod created man In 111 own
Image llkeness-and that the present
diversities of degradation are all ro
suits of Adam's fall from Mvlue fa
Tor, through disobedience, under the
aeuteuc of death.
Even If somo divisions of our race
do bear a Stronger resemblance than
others to the ape, this Is surety not
scientific proof that they evolutcd from
the ape. Just as reasonably might wo
argue the reverse, that they are a more
depraved section of Immunity. Hut
wo do not so rate It. On tho contrary,
the most Ravage peoples seem to havo
mental organism rnpablo of quite a
considerable development Under favor
able conditions, eveu of a few year.
Indeed, when we consider the In
ferlor station of icemen lit all th
heathen tuitions, and the blaiikuess of
tbe mother's mind snd her dejection
and hopelessness and tho tendency of
tbeao to mark hcr nfTspi'lug, w do Dot
wonder at tho sad faces of many of
heathen lam), both male and fcuial.
Indeed, ou (lie contrary, we ar astou
Hi ml ut we compare some of th low
est typca of Christendom with some of

surprised Unit the difference Is not
greater. The explanation for It all ta
that w hav not had the tmo typ of
Christianity. Our Christianity has
been so mixed with superstition and
o liitprt'giHtled with error that Church
Isnltv. tuken na whole, lu th four
bundled millions vf Christendom, Is a
hybrid tliHiK- a slander tiKitt th nam
ChrlsllHit ami upon th teaching of
Christ.
A.uJ, by the way, 1 remind you i
Balnt Paul's explanation of the degra
dation of the beatheo. us set forth In
the first chapter of his Kplstle to the
Ilomans. He tells us most distinctly,
the Old Testament does, that man
originally knew ills Creator and was
In fellowship with Illm. but that he
fradunlly slipped away from this Into
(reuter and greater depths of degrada
tion, mental, moral and physical. Let
roe read Saint Paul's words: "When
they knew God, they glorified Illm not
as God, neither were thankful, but be
came vuln In their Imaginations and
their foolish heart win darkened. Pro
fessing themselves to be wise, they be
came fools, und changed tbe glory of
the Incorruptible God Into an Image
made like to corruptible man, and to
birds and four-footed beasts and creep
Ing things. Contrary to Divine In
structions they, imagined that the rec
ognition of God In all these various
creatures would Increase their rever
ence and make them better and more
thoughtful of the lower creatures. But
herein they were foolish.) Wherefore,
God also gave them up to uncleanness,
through the lusts of their own hearts,
to dishonor their own bodies between
themselves. And even as they
did not like to retain God In their
knowledge, God gave them over to a
reprohato mind, to do those things
which are not proper." Rom. 1, 21-28.
"Fl After God and Find Him."
But the feature of our teit which
most, particularly impresses me Is
Saint Paul's declaration that God de
termined and appointed In advance the
lima of theso nations when they
should be brought in contact with the
light of Divine Truth, to tbe Intent
that tho reverential quality, Inherent
in the race, might exercise Itself and
feel after the true God and haply find
Him.
We see that In Divine providence th
torch of the Gospel, first lighted In Pal
estine, spread westward and north
ward, through Europe, aud still west
ward to America. It, lndoed, has been
the torch of civilization. No other pow
er In tho world possesses the dynamic
force of tho Gospel Message. In pro
portion as it Is received In Its purity It
breaks the fetters of Ignorance and su
perstition. It sets men free. It de
clares, as does our text, tho oneness of
tbe human family that tbe entire hu
man family are by nature brothers. It
tolls that God is no respecter of per
sons and that the same laws of right
and wrong apply to king, and princes,
bishops and clergy, that apply to tbe
humblest mombers of tbe race, and
that all must give an account to the
great Creator sooner or later.
This feature of tho Gospel Message
has been the Igniting spark for all our
clvlll'.allon. Hut, alasl the combina
tion of this clvlllr.ntlon with the Innate
selfishness of (ho unregenorate pro
duces a human type which Is danger
ous, because of Its higher Intelligence
and unrest rained sweep of ambition
and Imagination combined with a
fnlleu nature, born lu sin and sbapen
lu Iniquity and continually tending to
word selfishness. . In other words, a
man wholly ruled by Bclflshncss is dan
Borons (o bis fellows In proportion to
his education and enlightenment lie
knows, better than his heathen neigh
bor, how to take advantugo of tbe clr
cumstunces and conditions of life, for
ho is lifted mentally to a higher plan.
Condition Now Changing.
Saint Paul In our text declares that
God has predetermined "flinn" asso
ciated with Ills dealings with tho na
Hons and in bringing to them tho Gos
pel. We havo already considered the
Dlvlno order and tlmo in association.
with (ho call of the "elect" Churcb-a
"little flisk"-cnlled out of every n'
tlon, people, kindred and tongue, to
bo the Redeemer's associates In tbo
Messianic Kingdom which Is to bless
Israel and nil tho nations. Wo be
lieve that this election of the Church
class Is about complete and that soon
thereafter God's Kingdom, the reign
of righteousness, (he world's Judgment
Day, will begin.
It should not surprise us, therefore,
to find great changes Imminent
amongst the peoples of the wbolo
world. The bounds of human habits
Hons and the barriers of language are
rapidly yielding because of the othor
limes of Divln appointment which
have beeu reached, vli., the period
mentioned In Daniel's prophecy as "the
Time of tho Kud." (Daniel ill, 1.)
And hero we must remind you afresh
that the Time of tho Knd doe not
mean the end of time. It merely slg
allies the time for th ending of tbe
present order of things, (hat a new or.
der of thluga, the Messianic Kingdom,
may be substituted. Twenty-five cen
turlca ago God determined this time
and appointed It and gave us four very
Important proof by which (o Idenilfy
It. Let us exam Ins these.
(1) The (list sign of tbe Time of the
End wss to be, "Many ahull run to and
fro." How wonderfully this prophecy
1 fulfilled before our eyes today! Its
fulfilment baa teen In progress, espe-
dally for fifty year. And It Is less
than eighty year since the first loco
motive mi built The nations, first
separated by diverse languages, kept
well wit hlu the bounds of their hsblta
tlon for many centuries until now
and now suddenly we have a ruunlug
to and fro In fulfilment of thl propb-
cy which Is nmnalng. Th various na
lions snd languages ar being scatter
ed all over th earth.
(?) The next step In th prophecy
marking tbe Tim of tbe Kud of this
Age la, "Knowledge shall be Increas
ed." This general Increase of educs
Hon amongst all classes la a logical re
sult of th commingling of humanity
aud the lesson of comparison and
competition being learntd. Suddenly,
a though In otlleii-e to th Divine
com ina ml, nation after nation has
mad schooling fm; and not cocttut
with this, ha mad U remeiilMfy; aud
I
this spirit Is spreading to Oriental
lands. The whole world la waking npl
Personal rights and national rights are
everywhere being discussed. The
schools of India are said to be turning
out ft million graduates In tbe English
language every year. Tbe Chinese also
are Introducing English schools. What
will be the results? Enlightenment?
Yest Godliness? No! Contentment?
No! Dissatisfaction, war, strife, an
archy, are coming to the world by
leaps and bounds, as a result of gen
eral education, and the breath of Lib
erty, because not backed by reverence
for God and a knowledge of aud sub
mission to His will. Japan, China und
India seem merely waiting for a tpark
to start a conflagration anarchy.
Dtruotlvn of Higher Critioitm.
And a for Europe and America, the
conditions there are tbe same, for
what faith the musses did have In God
and In the Bible Is being rapidly un
dermined by tbe theories of Higher
Criticism and Evolution which are ad
vanced from the colleges and semi
naries and pulpits, and are Invading,
not only tbe public schools, but also
tbe Sunday Schools. Evidently any
system of knowledge which denies or
opposes God and the Bible Is an in
jurious education harmful to the last
degree. However, by now this God-
Ignoring education has so fastened It
self upon the world as te be Impossi
ble to shake it off.
(3) The third Item Indicative of the
Time of the End of tbbi Age is that
"Tbe wise shall understand;" not the
worldly wise, but those wise toward
God. And so we find It today. While
the great and the learned and the
masses are rapidly drifting Into heath
enish darkness, away from the Bible,
God's saintly few, of every nation and
of every denomination, are gradually
seeing more and more clearly the teach
ings of the Scriptures, and ridding
themselves more and more of the
creeds of men which for centuries have
helped to blind and to stumble and to
make the Divine character and the ui
vino Word appear Inconsistent and un
reasonable, and to separate God's cbll
dren Into six hundred different sects
and parties. These creeds are now bo
lng seen in their tme light by tho saints
and are being discarded smashed.
(4) As a result of the fulfilments of
Nos. 1 and 2, we see nearlng us, or
tentously, No. 4: "There shall be a time
of trouble such ns never was since
there was a nation." That time of
trouble, as already Intimated. Is now
looming up on the horizon of every
nation. It comes In the wake of on un
sanctified knowledge. It. would mean
the utter wreck of all of our clvillza
tlon were It not for the Interposition
of the Kingdom of God's dear Son. for
which we have long waited and pray
od. "Thv Klmrdom come: Thy will be
done on earth as It Is done In heaven."
Our Lord, speaking of this trouble.
declared, "Unless those days were
shortened there should no flesh bo
saved; but for the elect's sake (hose
days shall be shortened" because of
the "elect," and the Kingdom wiilcti
they will establish, that great "time of
trouble" will be cut short It will not
be nllowcd to work out the terrqr at
first apprehended.
The Hope of the World.
I am returning from heathendom
fully convinced that tbe hope of the
world Is exactly what God's Word de
dares, namely, tho Mosi-lunlo King
dom. Unless that Kingdom comes,
and comes soon, the world will be lu
tbe most terrible plight It has ever
known. But my confidence In the
Word of God nnd lu I he promise of
tho Kingdom "under tho whole heav
ens" crows Blronger every day. The
Bible, once a sealed Hook, once appar
ently contradictory, once assumed to
be In harmony with the creeds, and
their very foundation, I now see to be
the most wonderful Hook In (he whole
world. I( merely needed (he light now
due to God's people to shine upon Its
pages, to scatter, our night and enable
us to truly sing, "Wonderful things lu
the Blblo I see!"
The three wonderful things of the
Bible which I would wish to Impress
upou you at this tlmo are: The Jus
tice of God, In permitting n death pen
alty to come upon our race as a pun
lihmeut for aln; (2) The Mercy of God,
like tbe wldeuess of the aea, which is
making provision for Adam and every
member of his race lo return to Di
vine favor and everlasting life, If they
will otherwise, to be remanded Into
Deuth-"everlastlng destruction."
(3) If there could be a more wonder
ful thing than the general provlslou for
humanity, restitution lo humuu perfec
tion aud an earthly Eden and ull that
was lost by Adam and provided for In
th redemption at Calvary --that slill
more wonderful thing Is "the exceeding
riches of God's grace In Ills kindness
toward ui lit Christ Jesus." Ah, what
wondrous love God Is manifesting to
ward this sKHially culled class. Invited
to become (he Ilrldo of Christ! Truly,
"Eye bath not seen, nor ear beard, nei
ther have entered Into the heart of
man the things God hath In reserva
tion for those who love lilui; but God
hath revealed them unto us by Ills
spirit; for the spirit seurcbeth all
things, yea, the deep thing of God."
This wouderful provision for the
Bride, th Lamb's Wife, is glory, hon
or, . Immortality Jolnl -heirship with
her Lord lu Ills glorious Station, and
association with Illm In Ills glorious
work of blessing, first, th nation of
Israel, and, secondarily, through them,
all th ontlous of the earth, according
to th Divln promise. 1'or such a
hop, surely, "we may trials well en
dure:" For such a glory surely w
may well. If necessary, "will through
bloody seas!" For such a crow n surely
w may well count all earthly advan
tage and good thing, privileges and
opportunities and honors, but as low
nd dro, "that w may win Chit
said be found Id Him"
