7. Pastor Russell,
speaking from tbe
platform of tbe
new City Temple
to a crowded
boUBO, announced
bis text from
Levitlcu 20:10: "I
will even appoint
over you terror,
consumption, and
the burning
plague, that wbicb
consumeth be
fore tbe eyes, and causetn aorrow of
heart" nig topic was chosen In har
mony with tbe general movement
against consumption, tbe white plague,
which he declared Is annually sweep
ing more millions to the grave than
are all tbe wars of all the world.
True, the Pastor's Divine commis
sion Is to preach the Gospel. Never
theless, since tbe Gospel Is the Good
Message of the Divinely arranged re
covery from sin and death, he consid
ered It eminently propor to call atten
tion to tbe rnvogca of tbe white plague
as a part of tbe penalty of sin. He
would not In this he understood as
meaning that all consumptives are
csneclnlly sinners. Some of tbe most
sulntly of God's people have died of
consumption and other ailments. The
Redeemer Is credited with having died
of a ruptured heart o disease not un
known to medlcul practitioners.
The speaker declared Hint much con
fusion prevails amongst Christian peo
ple respecting sickness and health, it
seems only Inglcul for us to reason that
God wishes Ills creatures to bo healthy
and happy always, especially such as
iMH'k to live In harmony with Mini.
True wo have recolvod the Ulblo In
struction th it t sickness Is a part of
death; that death Is the Divine curse,
or sentence, or penalty, for sin; that
sin entered tbe world through tbo dis
obedience of our first parents; and that
all mankind therefore are under tbe
cui'so, or sentence of death, of which
sickness Is merely a fororummer the
dying process.
Still It seems natural for us to think
that after we turn from sin and con
secrate our lives to God, He would re
lieve us of the penalties of sin and re
store us fully to His original favor to
human perfection and to everlasting
life and to happy conditions. When we
II ml that some of the best of God's
people. Including- tbo Savior, tbo Apos
tles and the Prophets, have suffered,
even unto dentil, and that none aro Im
mune from this penalty, u perplexity
takes possession of our minds which
only the Illlile sets straight.
Tha Old Covanjint and tha Naw.
Cod llrst announced to Abraham His
Ultimate purposo of blessing tbe world
releasing them from tbo curse of sin
mid (leath. lie did not explain bow
this would bo ilono, except that It
would bo accomplished by Abraham's
posterity, or Peed. Tour hundred and
thirty years later God proposed to the
Israelites that If they wished to Inher
it the Promise made to Abraham, the
door was open for them, God entered
Into a Covenant with them at Mount
Winil, through .Moses, tbe mediator.
In that Covenant God agreed to cur
tain things, and Israel to other things.
Israel agreed to keep the Divine Law
perfectly; and God agreed that If they
would do so, llo would bless them with
everlasting life, and open the way by
which they might be tbe saviors of tbe
world, to help all out from under the
curse and buck to the favor of God.
But Israel failed to keep the Divine
requirements perfectly, us God fore
knew they would. Hence they never
jrnliied everlasting life for themselves,
but died like other men. lionet, also,
they wero not able to be the world's
uplirtcrs from sin and death. I.utcr,
God explained to them (but a greater
thnt) Moses would conie; namely, Mca
slnh, who would so help, strengthen
Ntid uplift from sin and death a select
Rued of Abraham that such, with Him,
would be qualified to constitute (lie
Kingdom of God the ruling powel
w hich God would use In putting down
sin and Satan, Ignorance and wrong,
Rod In lifting up mankind under the
Law Covenant renewed.
Our test It a part of llml a message
to Israel, In which He assured them
that If they would keep the Law they
should have all the blessings of (lis
favor In their earthly lives; but If
they were disobedient various sick
nesses would com upon them ns
rlustlseiiieiits. As for the other na
tions of the world, they Wero Hot In
rorenant relntlonslilp with Gi d, and
wt'i subject to the mutations of their
dying condition.
Only with the Israelites waa con
sumption specially stated to be the
penalty for sin. and only tbo Israelites
were promised Immunity from these
alckncHse on condition that they
no n ill Ike In otu'i'.U'me to the fKvlna

taw. ' God never had any such ar
rangement with any other people.
Tbey are all sinners, all under sen
tence of death, all dying, justly, re
gardless of whether It be a more grad
ual wearing out, or Instantaneous
death whether It be by hunger, acci
dent white plague, black plague, or
other aliment
Dut should not tbe followers of Christ
expect exemption? some Inquire. We
answer, Not Quite to tbe contrary,
these enter Into a special Covenant of
Sacrifice surrendering or resigning all
their claim to an earthly life, earthly
hopes, earthly Joys, In exchange for the
Heavenly ones which God baa prom
ised to all tbe followers of Jesus. Only
those who suffer with Him will reign
with Him. Only those who die with
Him to the earthly nature, etc., will
live with Him on the neavenly plane,
and be kings and priests and Joint
heirs with Christ In the Heavenly
Kingdom which Is to bless the world
and restore It to human perfection.
Few seem to have noticed that Jesus
neither healed Himself nor nny of the
Apostles. The miracles of healing
were performed on outsiders, with o
vlow to evidencing the Redeemer's
teachings; and even these attesting
miracles, as St Paul pointed out ceas
ed, after they had accomplished their
work after the Church had been es
tablished. But we are asked, did not
Jesus say in Mark 10:17, 18 that the
healing power would be an evidence of
dlsciplesbip throughout this Age? No,
we answer. All scholars now agree
that no part of the 10th chapter of
Mark after the 8th verse was written
by St Mark. That the portion from
tbe Oth verse to the end of the chapter
was added long centuries after St
Mark was dead Is cloarly evidenced by
tha fact that those verses do not occur
In any manuscript of earlier date than
tbe fifth century.
The rewnrds of this Ago, offered to
the Church, are Heavenly, spiritual, to
be attained fully In tbe resurrection
change of the Church. Nevertheless,
the faithful followers of Joaus enjoy
cortnln special blessings of mind and
body In tholr present life such as "the
peace of God, which passoth all under
standing," a rest from the worrying
cares common to tho remainder of the
world. These, Indeed, bring often a
measure of health to persons previous
ly annoyed by every trying difficulty
of life, but now enabled, through fnith
In Christ and acceptance of the Divine
promises through tbe Holy Spirit, to
take no anxious care In respect to the
future, knowing that their Knthcl
caret li for them and has promised that
all things nhall work together for thclt
good, whether It be sickness or pover
ty, or what not.
Tha Goapal Raapaoting tha Plagua.
Tbe Gospel has a special Message to
every ono smitten with tbe white
plague or tbe black plague, or any
other of tho hundreds of forms of
death. That Message Is that the pres
ent life Is but transitory, a vestibule to
a moro glorious life, an nnteroom of
Instruction, preparatory to entering the
Ufo which God has provided for nil of
our race who aro willing to nccept It
on Mis terms through tbo merit of
Christ's sacrifice.
Tho broad Messago of tho Gospel,
while It has only ono offer In tbo pres
ent time, assures us of n future oppor
tunity for nil. Those who now accept
the grnco of God have tho great privi
lege of becoming members of the
Church In Glory. Others have tho as
surance that there will bo a resurrec
tion, not only of the Just, but also of
tho unjust; and that this signifies an
opportunity of rising up out of sin and
death conditions to human perfection.
Hut even to attain that blessing would
mean to attain an earthly Instead of a
Heavenly Inheritance..
Moreover, that blessed opportunity ol
attaining eternal Ufo mid earthly per
fection will not irean an escape frmu 1
the penalty of wilful sins of the pres
ent Ufo. It Is a part of tho Divine
Law that whoever sins shall suffer,
and that "whatsoever a man soweth.
that shall ho also reap." Hut those
who have known tho Master's will,
and failed to do It will rocelvo more
and severer "stripes," moro punish,
nii'iits. than others who have not
known His will, and have done equal
ly evil things the heathen, for in-stnuce.-I.uko
12:17. 48.
Tha Morning la Dawning.
The light of tbo Millennial Morning,
gradually breaking through tho dark,
ness, Ignorance and superstition of the
past Is allowing us more particularly
w hat disease Is and how It should be
combated. And although wo cannot
hope to uccotnpllNh great results, It Is
our duty to do our best In opposing
the reign of Sin and Death to do nil
In our power to stamp them out. All
tbo diseases of our bodies are aggra
vated by sin and more or less relieved
by proper living, proper thinking, and
a mind and heart resting In faith upon
the Itedoemer, and His glorious provi
sion for our future.
We are learning, too, that as the sun
light of Truth Is good for our minds
and morals, so the natural sunlight Is
good for our bodies. It Is au Impor
tant factor lu the healing of all dis
eases. As the Word of God Is the pure
Pood which builds us up spiritually
and make us strong In the Ird, so
pirn1 foods, nourishing foods, are nec
essary for our physical bodies the
more so If tbey are atlllcted with the
white plague consumption. In a
word, cleanliness, pure air, and pure,
nourishing food, are the most promi
nent factors for the relief of sufferers
from this plague. These may be sup
plemented by a tahlespoouful of pure
glycerine, three times a day. and by
a biochemical salt, calcarla phos.
All should know that this dreadful
disease, which literally burns up the
vitality of the patient la, highly con
tagious through the excrement All
discharges contain the terueuta of dis
ease liable to spread the contagion.
Discharges from the bead should pref
erably be on paper, which should be
burned In the fire before becoming
dry. When dry, the dust carries the
Infection to whoever may breathe It
This also reminds us that sin Is like
disease. It Is contagious. Every sin
ner, therefore, who realizes his condi
tion, will strive against contaminating
others. Indeed, who does not know
that the Impression made by words
may do far more harm In tbe hearts
and minds of others than all tbe flesh
ly diseases we could Imagine? Oh.
bow careful we should be that evil
coming into our minds should be put
away, that we do not spread tbe con
tagion of moral sin, even as we should
be careful to avoid spreading the con
tagious physical aliments; and thus
will our Influence for evil be mini
mized! Lsproay Also Typed Sin.
Under the Mosaic Law, leprosy seems
to be Indicated as a special type of
sin. When In India nearly two years
ago, I was Invited to the Leper Hos
pital to address the poor Inmates. 1
tried to tell them' of the love of God
and tbe glorious provision made for all
mankind through the death of Jesus,
not only for tbe healing of leprosy
and all diseases, but for tbe healing
and overthrow of sin; and that all this
is near at hand, to be brought to man
kind by Messiah's Kingdom. , But
alas, poor creatures! I could see that
although they understood the words
of tbe Interpreter tbey bad no hearing
ears or seeing eyes of the heart
The Apostle's words came to mind:
"The god of this world hath blinded
the minds of tbem that believe not"
Ob. yes, I said. It Is only be that hath
an ear that can bear; only he that bath
an eye that can seel Where Satan's
work has been so fully accomplished.
and men are blinded by Ignorance aud
superstition, the Gospel Message can
do nothing. We must wait for the
Kingdom power. We wait in full as
surance of faith, knowing that He who
hath given His Son gave Him not In
vain, noting also that the Son, "who
gave Ills life a Ransom for all, to be
testified in due time." will yet "see of
tho travail of Ills soul and be satis-fled."-!
Timothy 2:0; Isainh 153:11.
Oh, what a blessing la knowledge In
association with faith In God! How
differently wo can look upon all the
dreadful evils which afllict the world,
mentally, morally, physically, than be
fore our eyes were opened! What
manner of persons ought we to be In
"showing forth the praises of ITIni who
hath called ns out of darkness Into nis
mnrvelous light!" How generous and
sympathetic we should be to nil who
aro in nny (rouble, physical or moral
or mental! Wo should be like onto
our Fnthor In Heaven, who 1 kind to
the unthankful, and sends Ills sun
shine and rain upon tho evil and the
good. How we should prepare our
selves at any and every cost that we
might be accounted worthy of a 'share
with our Redeemer In nis excellent
glory! Romans 8:17, 18.
Canoer Also Represents Sin.
Another drendful disease, often con
sldored Incurable and therefore like
sin. Is cancer. Consumption (tubercu
losis) Is a disease of the blood, which
afflicts moro or less every part of the
body. Cancer, on the contrary, ap
pears to be n fungus growth which
feeds upon tho human tissue, and prop
iigatea Itself at tbo expense of thost
pnrts of the body which it attacks
Tin's moro particularly corresponds ti
tho vices which attach themselves tr.
humanity, and are destructive to out
usefulness In respect to those parts ol
our character which are especially af
flicted. Only a most radical treatment seems
to affect the cancer. Ordinarily, It Is
claimed, only tho surgeon's knife, pur
suing every root and branch of the
cancer, will arrest Its growth. And
often this- Is Ineffectual. So In tin
treatment of vice: If wo find that It
has attached Itself to us personally
or to our city or village, drastic mens
ures aro tho only ones which will
glvo relief.
In the Interests of many who art
suffcrliut from cancer, let mo her
mention that quite recently I camo Intc
possession of a cancer cure. It can
bo used only for cancers upon the snr
face of the body, and not for thosi
which fasten themselves upon tho In
ternal organs, it Is highly recommend
od by many who have used It Wo art
Informed that tho recipe wns sold on
one occasion to a physician for u thou
sand dollars, nfter he had seen the
good results. Wo are Informed that
ho has erected a sanatorium for the
treatment of cancer and Is meeting
with success.
The death of the din-tor who discov
ered the remedy brought It Into the
hands of a relative. That relative
gave It freely to mo, and 1 am offer
ing It free to all who desire It. 1
would publish tho recipe, but experi
ence teaches me thnt more will likely
he benefited by It If obliged to write
for It Any reader of this sermon Is
welcome to the recipe, and he can pur
chase the Ingredients of his own drug
gist for a dime. 1 may be addressed
either at the Brooklyn Tabernacle.
Brooklyn, Now York, or at tho London
Tabernacle.
While urging nil to help themselves
and each other In the light against the
ailments of tho flesh, the dying condl
tlons of tbo present time, 1 still more
particularly urge that we all fight sin
mid assist one another In finding the
remedy which God has provided In
Christ "The blood of Jesus Christ
Ills Son cleanseth us from all sin."
But we can hnvo access to that blood
only by faith now, and by becoming
footstep followers of the Redeemer,
counting tha present life and Interests
ns loss and dross In comparison with
the glory, honor and Immortality prem
ised to tit faithful beyond the veil.
People In No Mood to Stand for Panic
. la Case Legislation Does Not
Suit Money Kings.
EUDOLPH 8PEECKELS SAYS
IT WOULD WORK OTHER WAY
Says Financiers Do Not Realize How
Deep Booted Is Resentment
Against Present Order.
BY JACK JUNGMEYER.
DMITZO FUB4 LEASED WIBB.l
San Francisco, Dec. 15. That Wall
street's money overlords may soon be
given an opportunity to plunge this
country into the greatest panic of Am
erican history, and thus be encouraged
to make a final stand in behalf of or
ganized greed, is the astounding predic
tion made here today by Rudolph
Spreckels, well known banker and man
of public affairs.
He claims to base his startling asser
tion on "inside" information gained
during his recent trip to Washington
and New York, and on "the disastrous
effect upon credit of tho pending cur
rency bill if it should be come a law in
its present form."
"Some of the more powerful finan
ciers are blind enough to hope for just
such a contingency, in the hope that a
disastrous panic brought about by ill
advised legislation would result in a
general revolt against all reform legis
lation aud leave the special privilege
intorests free again to dominate our
government," says Spreckels.
"The influonce of environment," he
explains, "has made nearly all rich men
blind, to the fact that a vast majority
of our people are beginning to feel the
sting of poverty and that they resent
the wide-spread oppression due to unfair
concentration of wealth in the hands of
a few.
"They do not realize how doep-rooted
is tho resentment against the present
order, and that tho people are ready at
moment's notice to rise in revolution
against organized greed."
Seated in his sumptuous office in the
heart of San Francisco's financial dis
trict, surrounded by every token of af
flneuco and easo, the word "revolu
tion" foil with strange iinpressiveuoss
from this rich man's lips.
Millionaire, president of tho First Na
tional Bank here, and financier of big
projects, Rudolph Spreckels has a thor
kuowledgo of the financial situation.
And as a backer of tho local graft pros
ecutions and bucker of tho big sugar
trust lio has felt the sinister power vt
organized pelf.
"There nro men with largo financial
power, no continued, "wno ueueve
that a violent panic, that could bo charg
ed to tin) legislative policy of tho pres
ent administration would result in vic
tory for the reactionary forces at a fu
ture election. They are blind to the
reaction of such a panic. That is why
I feel it imperative to sound this warn
ing. "The administration would also do
well to avoid making political expedi
ency the basis of currency legislation.
The advantage of arbitrary power
sought by the administration over mon
ey ami credit would prove as great a
menace to the people and independent
effort ns is tho present method of con
trol. " ISv the election of it's own president,
organized capital could ultimately dom
inate this country completely, if tho
present financial bill becomes a law.
"Specifically," asserts Spreckels,
"the proposed regional banks would be
dominated by the majority vote of the
banks in each district. They would
name six of the nine directors. And if
Hig lliisiaess ever secured control of the
federal reserve bonid, the control i,f
money and credit would bo absolutely
under the domination of special privi
lege. "Nothing short of revolution then
would restore freedom to the people.
"Consider the control now exercised
over our industrial and financial umk
takings. Two hundred big corporations
now have assets of over 22,000,000,00',
with a gross Income three times greater
than that of tho national government
"A group of five Wall street hanking
houses aro directly affiliated with aud
hold directorships in corporations hav
ing assets of about 17,000,000,000.
"That is a real menace to independ
ent capital and the peace of the uaticn
"l'ery one possessing property, es
pecially, is vitally Interested In seeing
this tremendous power of the few lim
ited, otherwise the pendulum will hort
ly swing to the other extreme and all
property will be confiscated by an out
mged people."
STUDY IN SERIOUSNESS.

"That ponderous persou takes blm
sell very seriously."'
"No," replied Miss Cayenne. "He
doesn't take himself seriously. Hn is
merely trying to pursuade others to do
to."

walls and adding balconies to our present quarters soon after the first of the year. We
have just secured an extension of our lease for a period of years on exceptionally fa

ness. As the contractors can't begin remodeling our store rooms until we have dis

AEE YOU LIKE THIS GIRL?
By Beatrice Fairfax.
He 's in love with you and you know
it, but he won't say so and what are
you going to do about it!
Now, ho win the world do you know
he is in love with youf
What has he douo to make you think
sof
Told you ho liked the color of your
eyes, bought you a bunch of violets o o
day when he happened to feel generous
and wanted to see what you'd say
when ho gave them to you, tried to get
him to let him kiss you fudge not a

sooner you make up your mind thnt ro
man is going to die of love for you with
out ever making a single moon the bet

I'robably tho young man you thina
is so dead in lovo with you is sorry
for you.
llo sees that you are weaving some
sort of impossible romance with him
as a hero, and he doesn't know whot
to do about it. lie is doubtless a-sking
his cliumb how to act to keep you from
throwing yourself into his arms.
Hounds cruel, doesn't it, and unsym

Well, my dear littlo girl, I nm afraid
it is very unsympathetic indeed,
All the love making is not dono by
tho men in these days.
I know myself threo different, men
at this very moment who are almost,
crazy to escape girls who are deter
mined to pursue them or any other
man to the ends of the earth just
to liavo the excitement of some sort
of a love affair.
You aro not in lovo with this young
man, littlo sister, you just wmnt him to
bo in lovo with you and that isn't fai?
and it isn't safe.
Lovo is an edged tool, and oh, how
deep it cuts in careless hands.
Half the poor girls who throw them
selves into tho river are driven to thnt
terrible step because they ran after
some man who was really trying, in the
half-dumb masculine fashion, to be ns
decent as they would let him be.
Meu nro not nil brutes and not all

suring the wifo and asserting that she
had cunningly devised to strip her hus

Henry McGinn has todav irranted a da-

members of tho progressive party in the
northwest and Mrs. Co is equally prom

home in Portland valued at nearly $100,

countries!
