Brooklyn, N. Y
November 0. Pas
tor Itussell gave
two addresses
here today. We
report tlio one
from the text,
"Yea, doubtless, I
count all things
but loss for the
excellency of the
knowledge of
Christ Jesus my
Lord, thnt I
mny win Christ."
. (Pblllpplnns 3:8.1 The speaker suld:
Even sulntly Christians seem but lm
perfoctly to grnsp the pluln teachings
of tho New Testament respecting mem
bership In the Body of Ctirlnt. Some
assume that It Is to be had on some
busts of favoritism, and trust thnt they
will be of the Elect. Others think
. that tho Apostle Is using figures of
speech In an extreme fashion, and
vaguely hope that they belong to the
right Church and will attain whatever
others get, as In the success of n party
In which all the victors share the
spoils. '
No doubt the errors of tho Dark
Ages absorbed In childhood have been
more or less responsible for these va
garies and for our general neglect of
proper Bible study. It seems hard for
the people of God to realize that the
it inooiu iioiii Aunve ih too iiomcsi
science and tho best Instruction; and
that It needs Intelligent and systematic
al udy as much as do earthly sciences.
But we are learning, and, thank God!
progress Is being made In unsectarlan
Bible Btudy classes, which are spring
ing up nil over the world. .
Conversion Not Winning Christ.
What Is ordinarily termed conversion
Is not whut St. Paul refers to In our
text as "winning Christ." The word
conversion slgnllles "to turn nbout."
It Implies that u wrong course has
been pursued, thnt the error of tho way
has been detected, and that n change
to the proper one has been made. Tho
wrong course Is tho sinful course,
which brings Injury and Injustice on
others. We never hnd u right to take
that course; yet to soma extent we are
exciiHulilc: for we were born with
downward tendencies, nn Inherited pro
disposition to sin,
We Inherited these depraved appe
tites and tendencies from our forefa
thers under the general laws of hered
ity. A realisation that sin always
brings sorrow Is n sutllclent reason for
' a chnngeof course, Conversion, (hero
fore, Is merely the operation of n sane
mind In turning nbout from things rec
ognized to be Injurious. Every sensi
ble person should be converted from
sin to righteousness.
Conversion inny have Christ connect
ed with It. or It may not. Many are
converted without any real knowledge
of the Gospel of Christ. They merely
. fcnew that they were going In a wrong
direction, nnd turned about to take the
proper course. But this' wo can say.
that only strong characters can suc
cessfully pursuo a right course, and
strong characters are In the minority.
Whether strong or weak In character,
great aid will surely bo experienced
by those who, at tho time of their con
version, have h knowledge of Christ
nnd an upprccluflon of His work nnd
Ills teachings.
.Votlilng else gives such fortitude ns
tin- hope set before us In the Gospel,
and the rcnllr.utlon that there Is a fu
ture life provided through Christ for
Mil uiiiuklml, and that our course In the
present life will have much to do with
the stripes, or punishments, we shall
receive hern or In the future life- nee
rsiiiry to lit us for Idvlnc favor nnd
everlasting life.
"Present Your Bodies" Sacrifices.
One might reform bis life, and have
a knowledge of Jesus nnd of the life to
nunc secured through Ills dciith, and
of the fuel that "whatsoever a innu
no we tli that shall he also reap," nnd
.vet. with all thnt conversion, belief and
reformation of life, he might not be n
('(iiImIIhii at all. In I be Bible sense of
that term. We would not by this ills
iMiurnge oiiylMMly from Inking the re
fornuiiory steps already outlined. N'r
would, on the contrary, encourage
tin in so to do. These steps are limes
wiry before anything further can ex
l't to be attained.
As already staled, reformation and
righteous living commend themselves
to all Intelligent minds as right and
advnnlnircnus, benotlclitl to the Individ
ual himself as well as to the world of
mnuklud. Let dlacusi Christianity.

"Abrsham's Soed, nd Heirs."
All who will be of (hat select King
dom class will bo members of the
foretold Seed of Abinhain, Jesus Was
of Abruhaiiilc stock through Ills mi
raculous birth; iiinl offer Ho hud laid
down Ills life saiTlllclally and was
raised from the dead by tho glory of
the Kather, no more a man, but a New
Creature of the IMvlne nature. IIo then
was A bra ham's Soed on tho spirit
plane. Ills Church, called to be of
the Kingdom class, are to bo Abra
ham's Heed nn the same spirit plane.
We are not Ignoring the fact thnt
Abraham has an curl lily seed ns well,
and that to it belong certain earthly
promises. We are merely pointing out
that tho Scriptures clearly teach that
tlio earthly seed cniiuot have Its share
In the work of blessing ethers until
flrst the Heavenly Seed, the Spiritual
Meed of Abraham, shall have been per
fected In the Klrst ltesurrcetlon. God
showed the two seeds In the state
ment to Abraham. "I will multiply thy
sets) ns the stars of heaven (the spirit
ual, the Chuivhl and us the sand which
Is upon the seashore'' I the earthly).
Genesis 22:1".
St, Paul tells us that this Seed of
Abraham, Jesus and tho Church, spirit
begotten, lire unitedly the Church.
Using a ti ti ii i ii n body as an Illustra
tion, he speaks of the anointed Jesus
ns the Head, and nf each ono of the
Church as a member of the Body of
Christ, Thus we read, "If ye be
Christ's, then are ye Abraham's Seed,
mid heirs according to the promise."
iGnltitlans :i:1H. 2H.i Thus we see thut
St. Paul was unslous to win a mem
bership In the Body of Christ, the
Church,
The Apostle, of course, was a mem
ber of the Church from the time of his
begetting or the Holy Spirit. But
there are two bodies of Christ, If we
may so express the mutter. One Is the
probationary Body of the present time:
the ether the actual Body nf the fu
ture. All fully consecrated believers
nre nieinlicis of the probationary
Church, or Body of Christ, from the
moment they receive the beuettlng of
the Holy Spirit. Thenceforth they are
to tli'bt n eooil ;i;it, (o run n success
ful nice, thut i hey may win the glori
ous posit li'ii which God lias Invited
them to till.
St. Paul, lifter years of Christian life
nnd of growth In grace, In knowledge
and In the Spirit of the Lord, was re
viewing his own course, with a view
to stimulating the Philippines, thut
they also might pi'oiH by his experi
ences, lie points out that he bad con
seernted to the I oiI every talent he
possessed. Nor did he think that he
had done some great thing: for he I
counted nil that he hnd sacrllUvd us
'liiwortliy of iiii'iil'on. so great was his
appreciation of the blessing whl-h. !iii
come to the Gospel Church. It Is the
most Woiiileiftil ofTcr that the Great I
Creator ever made; and we have every I
reason to believe that there never
ngnlu will be any offer made tu com
pare with It. I
The Invitation Is not merely to Joint
heirship with Christ In Ills Messianic
Kingdom of a thousand years for the
blessing nnd uplifting of humanity, it
moans, oh: so much more'. The faith
ful ones will be nmdo partakers of the
lUvtne nntiirv and glory,' honor and
itnmortftltty; and they shall be with
their Lord, sharers lu Ills glorification.

A knowledge of tho Divine Plun Is
very valuable to all who seek to run
tho race. If we knew not the object
of our trials nnd dllllcultles. bow could
wo so well learn to endure them pa
tiently! But If we know thnt God Is
thus giving us lessons to prepare us
for Ills service in Messiah's Kingdom,
how It changes the aspect of the en
tire matter! .
As St. Puul declared, we may even
come to the place where wo shull ro
Jolco In tribulation, knowing that trlb
ulntlon worketh patience, nnd patience
experience, and experience hope, bo
cnuse tho love of (hid Is shed abroad
In our hearts, and because we realize
thut the developing of the fruits and
graces of tho Holy Spirit Is a prepara
tion; and that thus, ns St. Peter says,
"An entrance shall bo ministered unto
us abundantly Into the everlasting
Kingdom of our Lord and Savior."
What of Thoss Who Failf
Tho Scriptures clearly show that two
classes will fall to win tho prize, even
after having been begotten of the Holy
Spirit. One of these classes tho Scrip
tures liken to tho sow who ret urns to
her wallowing In the mire, losing the
Spirit of tho Lord, the Spirit of the
Truth, and abandoning their consecra
tion altogether. 12 Peter 2:22.1 These
will die the Second Death. Whether
their number Is la. go or small Is not
for us to Judge. We may reusonably
hope that such unfaithful characters
do not predominate.
Then comes another class that the
Scriptures declare will fall to get the
Kingdom prlzo. Although members of
the Body of Christ now In tho present
life, they will not be amongst the "more
than commonics" who will bo mem
bers of tlio Hotly beyond tho veil.
These are represented ns a "great com
pany." How grout their number Is, lu
proportion to the number who win
Christ, the Scriptures do not tell; there
fore we mny safely withhold Judg
ment In the mutter.
The Scriptures tell us that while
these love the Truth, appreciate their
Covenant of Sacrltlce, yet they fall to
complete the sacrltlce they had agreed
to make: and the hindrance Is their
lin k of HUllli'lent love for tho Lord and
Ills work. Their lack ef seal lends
them to hold back from sucrlllce. al
though they do not draw buck to wil
ful slu, ns do the other class They
hold back thromrh fear of dentil, writes
the Apostle: "Who through fear of
death were all their lifetime subject
to bondage," restrained from going on
In the footsteps of Jesus ami Hie Apos
tles to make their election sure.
The Scriptures represent that this
class, held back by fear of the dying
prts'ess, the sneers of the world, etc.,
will be counted unworthy of a place
In the Body of Christ, the Itoynl Priest
hood, but w ill he nutomist the aiitltypl
cal Invites, who will have a service to
perform In conjunction with th King
dom class. But the attainment of this
honor will be only after a demonstra
tion of full loyalty (o God,
lu conclusion, I exhort all who pro
fess to be Gotl's people to learn to es
teem properly the value of this "pearl
of great price" which God Is now of.
ferlng to us through Jesns. Only by
the loss, the sacrltlce, of all earthly
things will this highest position, on the
Heavenly plsne be atlnlucd: but, as St
Paul point a out. It Is cheap at the
price; and all that we have to glv for

Draperies and Draperies.
Draped styles m'e everywhere and
nothing escapes the craze for curves
and floppy effects. The only stiffening
is at the edge of the lace tunics in
"lamp shade" styles. These are varied
indefinitely but are nearly always in
evidence on fussy frocks for day or
evening wear. Very few dresses are
straight around at the foot, except the
tailored styles.- All .others drape up at
the center, front or back to show the
foot and hosiery discreetly on the well
bred woman but otherwise on the other
sort of wearer.

THROW AWAY YOUR
EYEGLASSES
A FEEB PRESCRIPTION.
You Can Have Filled and Use at Home.
, Do you wear glasses! Are you a vic
tim of eyestrain or other eye-weakness f
If so, you will be glad to know that
there is real hope for you. Many whose
eyes were failing say they have had
their eyes restored through the princi
ple of this wonderful free prescription.
One man says after trying it: "I was
almost blind; could not see to read at
all. Now I can read everything with
out any glasses and my eyes do not wa
ter any more. At night they would
pain dreadfully; now they feel fine all
the time. It was like a miracle to me."
