Asnevllle. N. C. July 20. A large summer Conven tion of tbo Inter national Bible 8tudenti Associ ation la being held here, with students' of all ages attending, and giving every evidence of growth la grace and knowledge of the Scriptures. The program calls for four discourses dully for eight days. Amongst the speakers are some noted Bible students. Pustor Russell was one of the speakers of to day. We report his address, from the text, "Woe nn to you that are rich! for ye hava recolved your consolation. And tie lifted up His eyes on Ills dis ciples, and said. Blessed be ye poor: for yours Is the Kingdom of God." Luke 6:24. 20. Tblnk not, my dear brethren, said the Pastor, that my address is intended to atlr up class animosity. Tho tribula tions and disappointments of life come, uot through heeding the Divine Mes sage, but through neglecting It. Al though not rich myself, I can sympa thize with the rich In their position, as well as with the poor In theirs. Ood, Himself very rich, Is able to sympa thize with both the poor and the rich; so Is the Savior, who, being rich, for our sokes became poor, thut we through His poverty might become rich In the truest sense of that word. Borne of God's fulthful servants in the past were very rich Abraham, for Instance. Nevertheless, the Lord fore warned us that uot many rich, great learned, or mighty would receive the highest blessing promised during this Age. On the contrary, recipients of the greatest favor will be chiefly the poor of this world, rich In faith. Those will be heirs of the Kingdom. The Master evidently intended to in clude riches of every kind learning. Influence, honor of men, etc., as well as ttnnnclnl wealth. This view broad ens the tint to signify that all who now possess groat privileges and bless ings above the average of mankind will, by these blessings, be more or less hindered from obtaining the best things of God's favor, and more or less subject to woes. We are not to take the views of the darker days, and to suppose that the Muster meant thnt the rich at death would he thrown Into everlnstlng tor ture. The woes of the (Utile, on the contrary, apply to the present life. The rich, the Influential, the learned, the great, addressed by the Muster In the words of our tent, were living In the close of the Jewish Ace. but re siled It not. And wo might have no occasion whntever to apply our test to day, hut might consider It ns already fiilllllt'il In the past except for the fact that the Jewish nation and Its expe riences at that time typltled the (los pel Church uud the experiences of Christendom In our dny. Wrath to tht Utt.rmoit Upon tha Jawa, St Paul, referring to the same woes which Jesus predicted, but living near I ne close or the Jewish Ago, when the woes were being poured out declared, Wrath has conio upon this people to the ntterniost-thut all things wrlttou In the Law and the Prophets concern Inn them should be fulfilled. (1 Thes. sulnnliuis IMU.I If nil the woes pur posed of Qod upon the Israelites In the conclusion of their Age were fullllied. as St. I'uul declares, then nuiie of those woes belong to th future. That woes and tribulations are asso ciated with the present life for both the rich and the poor Is undelmtuhle. All acknowledge those woes. Hut the most terrible forebodings nreassoelnted with Imaginary woes of the future life -quite contrary to the Scripture teach ings. If we must speak of trlhnl 'tlous In the present life. In order to be fulthful to our commission, we are glad to lie nhle to set nldi and nullify the nightmare of the Park Ages re spectlng eternal torment Tor any. The .lews, whom Jesus nddiv scd. lie ilis'larcd "knew not the I'uw of th.li' visitation." They realised not (hat they were living In the end of Ulielr Age, and that a great settlement of mutters was about to take place Similarly, we are now living In the end of tills Gospol Age another great set (lenient day to the Divine arrange inent. The Intellectually, politically aoclally and nnanclally rlcb at thai time, addressed by our Lord, were very elf-satltfled. very prosperous, and looked for tht Messlaulc Kingdom In an opposite direction from thst which Jesus taught So today, tho Intellec tual and the rich tn various ways are satisfied u never before, and manly wfthfng" fEat nothing' might" disturb , Ice 'of their Redeemer, to show forth their wonderful progress for the future, j His praises, no matter bow unpopular and these are looking for their bless ings and prosperity In a direction tbe reverse of that Indicated by tbe Word of God. Jesus prophetically foreknew and foretold tbe crisis of tbe Jewish nation. His Message gathered out of that na tion tbe "Israelites Indeed, In whom was no guile." Then tbe nation was given over to Itself. Tbe Divine Hand which bad guided It safely In tbe past let go tbe rudder;, and human passion accomplished tbe wreck in the anarchy which overthrew the nation In A. D. 70. Similarly, we may understand that now has come the Harvest of this Gospel Age; that now God Is gathering His Elect; and tbst as soon as this work shall have been accomplished, the Almighty's Hand which has held in check tha powers of human passion un til now, will release its hold. Then mankind, left to themselves. will wreck their present civilization. As tbe rlcb of Jesus' dsy suffered most His cause In the sight of men no mat ter how foolish It may cause them to appear In tbe eyes of those who are blinded to the Lord's arrangements. This poverty and sacrifice does not mean the giving up of noble senti ments and high Ideals; but It means the bringing of these Ideals, etc.. Into tbe Lord's service, for the support and advancement of His Messsge of Truth. for tbe blessing of mankind along tbe lines which His Word indicates. This sacrifice, or surrender, does not mean that honor of men will be dlses teemed thereafter; for It will always be true that "a good name Is rather to be cbosen than great riches." It means that worldly reputation will be beld secondary to the Lord, the Truth, and service for tbe Lord's cause, so that whatever honor of men tbey may pos sess will be turned as wisely and as prudently as possible Into the channels which will glorify the Lord and honor His Message, regardless of the fact IN Belief That Course Is Altogether Too Long for Youngsters and Strain Shortens Life. keenly In their time of trouble, so tbe tnat D"D U wl" Bradually consume rich will suffer most keenly In be time of trouble now neor. Thank God, bow- ever, that these woes, both upon tbe lews and upon Christendom today, are not woea of eternal torment: Compensations In Nature. Who has not been struck with Ns- ture's compensations?

Worldly Wisdom Vs. Heavenly Wis- dom. The Scriptures distinctly point out that there are two kinds of wisdom. be core free, while the employer often faces perplexing problems which hin der sleep and undermine health. In mutters of grace the same rule to some extent, prevails. Tbe rich have more on wblcb to set their hearts. more to occupy their time, more to cu. This means that there are two differ ent waya of viewing nearly everything. The world's viewpoint Ignores the fu ture beyond tbe grave, lives for tbe present, thinks for the present, strives for tbe present. Tbe Heavenly Wis dom looks chiefly beyond the grave, for thut eternal condition which God Hvafa air.n.lll .v. ...... . 1 . . sela.

We ore not to understand thnt God dlent to Him. From this viewpoint the things of the present are tempo rary, transitory, fickle, uncertain. In comparison with tbe future blessings. St Paul declares of these that tbey are not worthy to he compared with the future glory to be revealed In the Lord's people. Romans 8:18. Those who follow the earthly wis dom are subject to the frailties and Imperfections of tbe human mind with which they were born-born In sin, misshapen In Iniquity. "In sin did my mother concelro me." More than this. Is partial to the poor, the mean, the "ley are to a large degree susceptible Illiterate, the Ignoble. The Scriptures assure us thnt God Is Impartial. All other conditions being equal, riches, to the evil Influence of Satan and the fnllon angels, and tho "doctrines of demons" with wblcb these seek to en- honor, nobility of character, would snare and mislead all who have not make the possessors more esteemed in Put themselves under Divine protec God's sight But other conditions are ,,on by becoming disciples of Jesus, not equal. During this Age God Is This Includes the great majority of choosing a special class. He puts humanity, of whom tbe Apostle de faith first thou meekness, gentleness, Clares that tbe god of this world hath patlenco, brotherly kindness and love, .blinded the minds of all those who be in their order. Heve not lest the glorious light of Apparently the life experiences of . God's goodness, shining In tbe face of the poor and Ignoble are as favorable, Jesus Christ, should sblne Into their or more sd, than tbe conditions of the rich and the talented. All of their ex periences tend to develop faith, while those of the rich tend rather to de velop self-reliance, self-assurance. The experiences of the poor and Ignorant tend to develop meekness, teachable ness, whereas the experiences of the learned tend naturally toward self-con-celt The experiences of the great In dealing with subordinates tend to be get arrogance und self-assurance; whereas If they become disciples of Christ, those qualities are serious hand icaps and Interferences. Thus we see why not many rich, wise, great and nolilu are amongst those upon whom tho Gospel Message takes serious ef fect. Not only have the poor many advantages In respect to hearing and obtaining tile Gospel Message; but their being moro uiiinerous than the rich would he another reason why they would predominate among the Lord's elect class. Not All Poor Ara Bloaaad. Our text, however, does not refer to poor piKiple In general, but to a special class of H)or. "Blessed be lie poor: for yours is the Kingdom of God." Some iuor, Instead of being drawn to God by their poverty, cultivate a splr. It of anger, malice, hatred, strife, and are thus not only embittered lu spirit but have their faces turned In tho op posite direction from the one In which Hod's blessings come. Aim, how true this Is today! The class described by Jesus ns "ye poor" Is composed of those who aro hungering after righteousness, and who have approached tho I'oiintaln of Blessing, the Almighty, ami hare been received us children of God, The poor Include nil or God's people, whether or not poor as respects earthly goods, earthly honor, fame. etc. Whatever earthly blessings they may have had. they gave up, sacrificed, that they might thereby become heirs of God, Joint heirs with Jesus Christ. Of the Itedeeincr It Is written, "lie was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor." As the Master uiude a full surrender of Ilia will und talents, and all. so nlso must all who, hearing the Muster's rohv, become Ills disciples, or foot step follower.-;! Cor. 8:1); Matt 111:21 This does not mean that the Lord's people must of necessity throw away or give away their property and be come penniless. It does mean, how ever, that whatever property they once culled tlielr own, by the terms of their consecration became the Lord's prop erty, and they merely Ills stewards In tho administration of that property and tlie use of It in harmony with the Lord's will. Neither does this mean that If they had riches f learulug, they must tg nore their knowledge, and apeak and act Ignorantly. It means, however that their learning la no longer tholrs. but the lord's. It Is no lunger to be usJ for self grstlBcstlon, self-honor, self-praise, but to bo used la th tor. hearts. 2 Corinthians 4:4. Of these again the Scriptures de clare. "Tbe whole world lleth tn the Wicked One." Not Inteutlonully uud knowingly, but Igornntly, through de pravity anddeceptlon.tbey are servants of sin. Their only hope lies In the promise of God that eventually the tlino will come when Messiah shall tnke His great power, exalt His Church, and Institute a rule of right eousness In the world, which will bind Satan and break the shackles of igno rance uud superstition, and bring in s clear knowledge or God and the Truth. Mean time, tnuny In the world are considerably swnyed by the spirit of Satnti linger, malice, hatred, envy, strife. When circumstances are favora ble, these evil qualities ure not brought Into activity; but under other clrcuiu stnnces, no evil work Is too vile, if It will minister to their selfish propensi ties. Thus today we see people not naturally bad. lu the sense of prefer ring evil to good, but deluded und with out Divine guidance, und thus ready to do anything uud everything, under stress of uecesslty. for the muinte uunce of tlie present order of things. Not knowing of God's Plan, nnd uot luivliig the Wisdom from on High, they ure not waiting for Messiah's King dom, but ui bent upon attululng tlielr own ends. In harmony with their own theories. According to the Bible testimony, these are the ones who are about to bring upon the world the great time of trouble, the like of which never was since there was a nation. (Daniel 12:1. i lu that great time of trouble the world ly rich will have fulfilled upon them our Lord's words In our text, lu accord also with tlie words of St James. "Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries thut shall come upon you." (.lames ,1:1. i Miseries will also come upou the poor, but will be felt esHclully by the rich, because of the wealth, luxury und comfort previously enjoyed by them, Ou the contrary, the poor tn spirit those who huve given their little all to the l-ord, and have nothing to lose further-can look with equanimity upou any experience which may come to them. Uuving nothing of their own. they can lose nothing. "Blessed be ye IHior: for yours Is the Kingdom of God," and as Inheritor of that promise they are rich with the wealth which moth nor rust cuuuot corrupt, uud which thieves cannot destroy or steal. The whole matter, then, Is one of wisdom. Sim 1 1 we give our affairs into the hiinds of tlie Lord, end allow nim to work out our hest interests for us and to give m His very best blessing Or shall we seek to hold control of our selves and of our own wills, and thus mis the greatest blessing that God has to give, and obtain the Inferior one? Or by wilfully choosing sin. shall we deliberately reject everlasting life, snd com under th penalty of th Second Death-Destruction T LAST LAP THAT SAPS YEARS OUT OF OARSMEN'S LIFE Not Improbable That Great Contests Will Be Cut to Three and Possi bly Two Miles. By Hal Sheridan. (Written for the United Press.) New York, July 31. They are begin ning to agitate in the east, which means that after the agitation has worn off and they get down to the bite, there may be some reform in the ancient aad honorable sport of rowing. There is a movement under the surface to cut down the distance rowed by young hopefuls in the big varsity eight-oared races run off annually iu these parts. There have been such movements start ed times out of number, but this year it really looks like something would be really done. This applies not only to the races labored through at I'ough keepsie, but the annual Yale-Harvard tussle. .Statistics have established that taken through and through, youngsters who undergo the terrific strain inci dent to a four mile race do not live as long as the athlete who is not subjected to Htii-h a grind, or the man who doesn't mix iu athletics at all. The i'dea is, therefore, to conserve a few years of our young men 's lives for work that produces something more useful than boils aud overtaxed hearts. If the movement is successful, the big races will be cut to three and possibly two miles before many more are rowed. It's the "last mile" that saps years out of the college oarsman's life. Minor League Killings. If things keep up fond fathers will no longer be taking their sons upon their knees and holding before them the examples of great statesmen to em ulate.

This business of paying young fortunes for minor league stars lias passed the stage of be ing an intermittent disease. It's an incurable habit.

It would abso lutely solve for Bryan his problem. Sim ple, isn't itf And the thought results in this: Oh, what's a minor league, Pa? That some folks call it great! Is it a caterwampus tall, A million pounds in weight f Or is it just a flimsy thing utade up of sand-lot stars, Who bring the majors to their feet with periodic jars?

" And there's more truth than poetry (yes, we mean that literally) in the above. Tt's getting so now that with competition so keen for young availa ble material, the major managers" will go to almost any lengths iu the matter spending real money for minor league players. The point is that they are compelled to name a heavy figuro that a minor league owner will take and bind the bargain before some other manager or his neout pops into view, decides he wants the minor leaguer and offers a raise on the first manager's bet.
