RESTITUTION IN

Pastor Russell, Returning From
Panama, Visits Cuba,
PREACHES IN HAVANA.
Modern Application of a Familiar Text,

nnvann. Cuba,
March Z Pnstor
Russell is delight
ed with Cuba, and
docs not full to
call attention to
the wide contrast
between present
sanitary condi
tions and those
which prevailed so
short a time ago,
when this fair
land .suffered con
tinually from yel
(MSIORRUSSF.Ltf
low fever and other tropical ailments.
The Pastor referred to General Wood
as the one through whose energy and
skill Cuba's restitution and rejuvena
tion came nhout. "Ilonor to whom
lienor Is due" uppears to be one or
Pastor Russell's mottoes. The Pus
tor's text was Acts 3:10-21: "Times of
Restitution of oil things, which Ood
hutl) spoken by the mouth of all Ills
Holy Prophets since the world began."
Ho said:
In Panama a week ago I saw ono of
the stupendous works of man In sub
duing, or conquering, the earth and
making It suitable for his purposes. I
testified to the people there, and to the
millions who read my sermons, re
specting the Increased education of hu
manity through modern Inventions,
which speak to us or the dawning of
the New Era long foretold In the Illble.
Today I point yon to man's Increas
ing skill along other lines. The laws
of health and of disease are much bet
ter understood than ever In the past.
The laws of chemistry applicable to
nearly everything in life, are marvel
ously clear and greatly extended be
yond anything of previous times. This
Increased knowledge lies close to the
work of snnltatlon, which Is so gener
ally approved ond so widely extended.
All this sudden Influx of knowledge.
not only upon the fbw learned, but
upon tbo masses of mankind also. Is
a sign of the dawning of the New Day
of God's blessing Restitution.
Millennial Work In Cuba.
The Tastor urged bis congregation to
consider tills wonderful transformation
of conditions In their fair Island an
exemplification of the great work
which will prevail throughout the
whole world -very shortly. It properly
raises our estimation of human Intelli
gence, and of the beneficence of the
United States Government, whoso
agent In this transforming work wns
General Wood. What hns taken place
so markedly In Cuba under sanitary
regulation Is gradually being accom
plished all over tbo world. It marks
the dawning of tbo New Dny referred
to In his text as "Times of Restitution
of nil things," which God lias prom
ised from the beginning.
Everywhere In' tbo Scriptures the
glorious work of human uplift Is dl
rectly associated with Messiah's King
dom. Perhaps many Imvo expected
the blessings to como In another way:
nevertheless, now that they are com
Ing. all should bo ablo to Bee the facts
and to acknowledge, prophetical fulfil
ments. In It any less true that the wit
dermis Is coming 'to blossom as the
rnBti becniiso this Is resulting from hu
man energy-wolldrllllng and other Ir
rigating projects? Surely not!
i The poet sang.
"find moves In n mysterious wny.
Ilia wonders to perform."
And that mysterious wny Is usually
through human Instrumentality, as
Improved conditions here In Cuba shun
dantly witness. Instead of being dis
appointed that God Is using humanity
for the fulfilment of Ills glorious prom
ises, wo should all rejoice that man
kind may be associated with tbo mar
vels of Divine Wisdom. Nevertheless,
tbo best that has been attained hero or
onywhero Is evidently fur below the
glorious standard of perfection which
Cod declares to be (lie ultimate result.
Beit of All Human Restitution.
As man fell from the Imago nnd like
ness of God, Restitution would mean
to lit in a return to Unit linage and like
ness. Of all the Restitution wonders,
this wIM be the grandest. Were "every
prospect pleasing," nnd humanity were
still vile, sinful, Imperfect mentally,
morally andphyslcally-the curse would
still rest upon the earth. The evidences
of tbo beginning of Restitution In the
lifting of some of man's Ignorance and
superstition are by no means the re
allzntlon of whnt Is to bo expected
If n fiMfe of tilvlne goodness Is so re
freshing and happlfylng, what will the
full draft mean to our poor race!
My mossago Is meaningless to those
who have left tlio teachings of the
Word of God, and who believe In hu
man evolution. Disbelieving In the
full of our rneo from tbo Divine linage
In tbo flesh, these must logically deny
also the redemption, and all necessity
for a Savior to die for our slus. Surely
they could not count It sin to export
ence evolution, at they claim; and If
in hat not been committed, then there
S-V (I
Russell's Sermon
could not be a redemption from sin,
nor a restitution to a condition enjoyed
before sin entered the world.
All such theories, therefore, are un-
scriptural. Kor this reason they are
in antagonism to tbo Itlblo view, tbnt
mail fell from God's image six thou
sand years ago; that he has passed
through six great Days In which has
prevailed a reign of Bin and death, In
duced by Satan at the beginning, and
Btlll, to some extent, influenced by him.
Under this reign of sin and death, man
has lost much of the Divine Image, and
has become brutal-more or less.
The redemptive work of Jesus Is not
to bo understood as a change of the
Divlno Plan und 1m abandonment of
the earth as a Paradise, populated by
humans in the mental and moral like
ness of the Creator. God changes not
The mistake was merely ono of ours,
not authorized by the lilble.
The tlmo for Restitution was not due
when .Ichus gave Ills life as man's
Redemption-price; but thoso "times,"
or years, of Restitution are due now;
for we are living In the dawning time
of the grent Seventh Day in Thousand-
Year Day). Messiah's first work as
the great King of earth is about to be
Inaugurated. lie is about to bind
Satan "that old serpent, the Devil."
Ho Is about to bless, not only the earth,
but also humanity, by rolling away the
original curse.
Messiah's Kingdom Is pictured as a
Day ushered in by a glorious sunrise
of truth and grace. In contrast with
Its light and knowledge, all the past
six thousand years are figuratively
spoUon of as iarknm. (Isaiah 00:2.1
Rut the Sun of Righteousness now
arises with healing in Ills beams.
Gradunlly, not suddenly, the sun arises;
and so the Restitution blessings are
coming In gradually, not suddenly.
Sometimes tn the early morning
there is a thunder storm, which for a
brief space hinders the duwnlng of
the day. Rut It results In the drench
ing of the earth with a refreshing
shower. So. according to the Bible.
will this New Day of Messiah's King
dom bo ushered in, by a torrlllc storm
of trouble. Hut It will be short; and
its effects upon the earth will be re
freshing. The grent contrast between
the righteousness of the future and
the sin of the present will be so con
spicuous that nil will enjoy the new
condition: "The desire of all nations
shall come." Maggn! 2:7.
"God Moves In a Mytterious Way."
God baa withheld the knowledge of
certain features of Ills Divine Pro
gramfor our good, we may be sure.
The supposition upon which many of
us went In times past is untenable.
We supposed that God In the llihle
had set forth In plain terms every
thing respecting Ills Plan. When we
could not find It, we tried to manufac
ture it. It Is good to study tbo Word,
even If we do not understand. And
If our forefathers got themselves Into
difficulties through errors of judgment
In studying God's Word, we may bo
sure thnt they were not especially dls
advantaged thereby. Not seeing the
Divine purpose, they were required to
exercise moro faith. Rut that greater
amount of fnlth was not then more
dllllcult, probably, than the less
amount now necessary.
Christian theologians become so In
tent In their reasoning upon the Heav
enly things appertaining to the Church
that they forget all about the world.
As cruelty became more pronounced
the Word of God wns less studied. It Is
not strange that our forefathers con
cluded that all except the Church
would be eternally tormented. And
when they concluded this to bo God's
Plan, it Is not surprising that they con
cluded to Join in the persecution them
selves. Thus It comes that the pages
of history are the records of bloody
persecutions sometimes directly from
Christians, nnd sometimes Indirectly
from Christians through earthly gov
ernments. Thus the entire civilized world hns
become Intoxicated with the wine of
false doctrine from the cup of the wo
man who sat upon the beast, falsely
representing herself as the Bride of
Christ, but living In figurative harlotry
with the kingdoms of this world.
(Revelation 17:1-15: 18:3.) As we get
over the stupefaction of our Intoxlcn
tlon of error, reason begins to return
to us. The Apostle calls this "tbo spir
it of a sound mind."
We must not boast There Is still
considerable darkness. Hut we are
nenrlug the glorious light! The Divine
Character Is shining out as It was never
seen before! Divine I.ove and Mercy
are conspicuous. Divine .lusllce Is
seen In Its true light. Proportionately
as we see these things, our souls mag
nify nnd glorify the Lord, who Is good,
and whoso Mercy onduretu forever.
Gathering of the Elect Now,
The work of this present Age Is un
questionably the gathering of God's
Elect It Is equally unquestionable
that the saintly are the Klect. St. Paul
points out to us that this Is God's fore
ordination; namely, that all who will
he elected In this present Age must be
copies of God's dear Son. This Is what
Is iredcstlnnted-thc terms and condl
Hons, tho requirements nnd qualities
tlous, of the Klect. (Romans 8:20.
III). i God will iHTinlt none others to
be of that number. Hut not a word Is
said In the Scriptures about God's hav.
Ing predestinated the non elect to tor
ment Quito to the contrary, nis pre
destination for the non-elect Is thnt
they shall be blessed by the Klect after
the Klect Church Is completed, after
the Church, the Hrlde, shall have en
tered with her Bridegroom Lord Into
the glories of Messiah's Kingdom.
The Klect nre the Seed of Abraham
first of all, the natural seed wero elect
ed, or chosen, of God to special privl
leges and opportunities under the Ijiw
Covenant; while the remainder of the
world, called Gentiles, were nllowed
for century after century to go down
to death without God, having no hope
In the world. There was a hope for
them, but they knew not of It, because
God's time for revealing it to them bud
not yet come. If the .lews told the out
siders that they would ultimately bless
nil nations, the others laughed at such
a suggestion, feeling that they were as
competent to bless the world as were
the .lews. ,
This, indeed, wns whnt the Babylo
nians tried. Next after them came the
Medes und Persluns; after them the
Grecians; nnd still later came the Ro
mans. Each of these stamped their
ideas upon the world to the best of
their ability, and gave their laws. Each
attempted to show how much more
competent than the others it was for
earthly nilershlp. But, alas! none of
them ruled satisfactorily or brought In
"the desire of all nations." Meantime,
also, the Jews waited for the fulfilment
of their promises. Meantime, also,
God renewed the promises, nnd assur
ed them tbnt Ho would send the Mes
siah to be their Deliverer shortly.
When Jesus came. He came not as a
wnrrior, like Alexander the Great or
Napoleon. lie wns meek nnd lowly of
heart: and Ho called the poor, the
maimed, the halt mentally, morally
and physically to nis standard. Not
unnnturnlly the Jewish leaders repu
diated Him and crucified Him, declar
ing thnt Hi) did not represent their
Ideals nnd must be a deceiver. I Cor
Inthlnns 2:7. 8.
Similarly they treated His followers.
As St. Paul declnred, "As deceivers
and yet true," the enrly Christians suf
fered reproach. The Jews nnderstood
not God's Message. They saw not
that It wns necessary for Jesus to die,
"the Just for the unjust" to be a Redemption-price
for the sins of the
world. They snw not that such a
death was necessary to nim, In order
that ne might attain the glory, honor
and Immortality of the future. Tbey
saw not that the disciples that Jesus
called were saints. However weak
these were, mentnlly nnd morally, their
hearts were loyal, and they strove to
walk In the footsteps of Jesus.
People have not realized that, dur
ing this Gospel Age, God hns been ac
cepting the saintly ones who come unto
the Fattier through the Savior. They
have not seen that the suffering of
these was necessary for their testing
and proving, nnd for their Instruction
In righteousness, thnt they might be
fully qualified for glory, honor and Im
mortality and Jolnt-helrshlp with Christ
their Redeemer.
St. Paul speaks of the Church as a
Mystery class. It Is a Mystery to the
world: first. It Is the selecting of a class
the world would never think of choosing
a humble, meek class; second, neither
the Jews nor the world realize thnt this
class constitutes the Spiritual Seed of
Abraham, to bless nil the families of
the earth.
Nevertheless God's great Plan goes
on. whether they know or do not know.
Ultimately It will work out a glorious
result Then Natural Israel and all
nations will know. Then the Church,
the Elect, 'the Seed, the Bride, the
Lamb's Wife, will be Joined to Him
in bonds of perpetunl love, zenl and
faithfulness. Then will begin the very
blessing God so long ago declared, say
ing to Abraham, "In thee and In thy
Seed shall all thefamllles of the earth be
hlessed."-Gen. 12:3; I81I8; 22:18; 20:4.
Abraham's Spiritual Seed.
God has not changed Ills purposes.
(Maluchl 3:0.1 lie created man an
earl lily being. He permitted him to
fall. He purposed his redemption
through Jesus. Ilo purposed the call
ing of tbo Church of Christ, to be His
associates In tho Kingdom. Ho pur
posed that this Kingdom should be a
Spiritual one: "Flesh and blood cannot
Inherit the Kingdom of God." (1 Cor
inthians lf:.ru.l lie purposed that this
Spiritual Kingdom should bless the
world with Restitution blessings
hrlnglng back to perfection all the will
lug nnd obedient of Adam's race.
This Is the Progrgam still. We mere
ly got a wrong Impression when we
thought that God's purpose was the
bringing of all mnnltlnd to Heavenly
conditions and nature. No, no! that
blessed experience la only for the
Church class God still purposes Res
titution for the world of mankind. In
Abraham's Seed all the fumllles of
the earth will lie blessed.
If we see signs of these grent bless
ings beginning now. It Is a sure Indi
cation that the Klect must be almost
complete. And if that be true, all ot
us who have vowed consecration to
t tit Lord and Ills service should be
thoroughly uwako to our blessings nnd
privileges, and to the fact that the
time of most crucial testing Is even now
at the door. If we nre to mnke our
calling nnd our election sure, we must
lose no opportunity for demonstrating
that we are loyal to God and His
Word, and to the brethren, Along
these very lines we must expect tests,
too. How else could we be proved?
Moreover, now is the time to expect
light on the Divine Word and Plnn;
and we arc getting It, We nre seeing
the difference between human nature
and Divlno nature, between the earth
ly blessing thnt is to come to mankind
nnd the "high calling" which Is the por
tion of the Klect. Ood declares tbnt
the Mystery hidden from tho past
Ages and Dispensations, which He
kept secret from the beginning of the
world, Is to cpiisii to be a mystery.
The Mystery becomes dully, yea, hour
ly, less pronounced, ns we come Into
that condition of mind in which God
will reveal to us tils arrangements.
Truly ours Is a glorious time! Let
us avail ourselves of the present
glorious opportunities for Bible study
and growih In knowledge, grace nnd
love. Let us wnlk worthy of the light;
and rejoicingly let us note thnt Jesus
is yet to be "the Light or the world"
"whleh llghtcth every man that comet b
into tho world."-John ID.
