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

and these are looking for their bless

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

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

prudently as possible Into the channels

In mutters of grace the same rule to
some extent, prevails. Tbe rich have

This means that there are two differ
ent waya of viewing nearly everything.
The world's viewpoint Ignores the fu

present, thinks for the present, strives
for tbe present. Tbe Heavenly Wis
dom looks chiefly beyond the grave,

No Pa-tiality With Ood.
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.

choosing a special class. He puts humanity, of whom tbe Apostle de

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

The experiences of the great In

whereas If they become disciples of
Christ, those qualities are serious hand

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.

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

hungering after righteousness, and
who have approached tho I'oiintaln of

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

act Ignorantly. It means, however
that their learning la no longer tholrs.
but the lord's. It Is no lunger to be

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,

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

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.

to go out on Chautauqua lecture tours
and thus subject himself to criticism
whether just or unjust. 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?
"A minor league, my boy," said Pa,
"Is all you say, and more,
Far from the field of toil and strife
That makes the majors roar,
The minor league plods through the
yea r
With hope fron day to day;
And when the majors spot the stars,
They pay, and pay, and pay. "
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.
