THE BIBLE MISUNDERSTOOD Canadian Minister Quoted "Th Earth Abideth Forever" Christ Will Net Coma Again aa a Man, According to the Bible Pastor Russell Balievoo 1914 Marks a Great Change of Dis pensationChrist's Parousia Pre cedes His Epiphania. March 22. The widely known Pas tor Russell, whose U r e a t and free i'HOTO - DUAMA OF CREATION Is being set before the people dally In many large cities, and everywhere arousing enthusi asm for Ooil, reli gion and the Bible, chose for his text today, "Thus It shall be In the coining Tarousla presencc of tho Son of Mnn; they shall be eating, drinking, planting and mar rying, and know not." (Matthew 24:3", 3S. I He said In part: . I was prompted In the selection of my text for today by reading no ex tract from the sermon of a Canadian minister delivered recently. In It he declared that 11)14 would witness the Second Coming of Christ, etc. Ills statement allowed the inference that bo holds the view common to nearly all the creeds; namely, that tho earth la to be burned up ami the human race blotted out: and that, Incldentully, Christ will come a second time, to see that none of tho Church uro Included In the destruction. Mistakes of Dark Ages Bsing Cor rected. To my understanding, all such ex pectations are wholly uusctipturnl. un true, mlHleadlng, and hindrances to a right understanding of tho l'llblu. They belong to the Dark Ages, when public teachers Seemed to lose all apprecia tion of poetic language, figurative lan guage, mental Imagery. They belong to the time when Christ's references to Gehenna Fire, which burned outside the wall of Jerusalem, were under stood to mean an eternity of torture for all except the saintly few. They belong to the time when Jesus' words respecting the cutting off of tho right baud anil tho plucking out of a right eyo were misunderstood, nnd taken lit erally. St. Peter's words are generally urged to be tho foundation for tho theory that tho world will be destroyed by literal Ore at the Second Coming of Christ, when the heavens shall be on Ore, and the earth also anil tho tiling) therelu shall bo burned up (2 Peter 8:10), A literal Interpretation here overlooks tho fact that St. Peter, speak ing of the very same time, in Acts 3:1!) 21. declares that Times of Itestltu tlou and blessing -not times of world-liumlng-wlll follow the Second Com ing of Jesus. It also overlooks the fact that St. Peter and tho other Apos tles, hs well as the Master, frequently used the word flro In u symbolic sense, to represent tribulation. Thus St, Pe ter, addressing the Church, says, Think It not strange concerning the fiery trial that shall try you." St Paul says that the lire of that Pay shall try the work of every man Ithe Church), of what sort It Is. Those who have built with gold, silver, pre cious stones Ithe promises of Cod's Word), shall bo lire-proof In that lny; while thoso who have built with the wood, hay and stubblo of human trn-dltlnn-lllghcr Criticism, Human Evo lution, ete.-wlll fl ml their fnltli struc ture nmcnuble to the tire; and they will siilTer the loss of faith and have tribulations accordingly. Yet, the Apostle explains, such will themselves tie saved, but these very fiery trials will destroy their misconceptions, They will be saved been use. In spite of their errors, they luillt their fulth iihiii Chrlst-1 Corinthians 3:11-1.1. The Apostle, however, urged that all fhnuld build with uolil. silver and pre cious stones - rhsrooteiisllcs which wiiii Ul enable them to pass through the tire of that Ihiy unscathed -"more tliuu . oiiiUernin " Nlinllurly, Jesus re- i forrcd to a testing of fulth, by the fig ure of il llocid, telling that those who luillt (linn the muni would suiter loss, lint tlnit those who built upon the Hoi k would be safe. All these Si rip tmvs, however, these references to tleiy trials, etc., belong to the end of the Age-not the end of the world, "The Earth Abideth Forever." The llllile leaches Mint In Cod's great I'lnn lie has provided various epochs, or litres, each for the accomplishment of Its oii special work; us for In tnnif. the Jewish Age wllh Its work, mid the tlospel Age with Its work, to Is followed by the Millennial Age and Its still different work. The Itlhle de clare (hut "the earth ahldeth forever" KiTleslitNtcs l:4i; that "(iod created It not In vain: He formed It to lie Inhab ited" ilsulnb 4.YIN.1 The earth has never yet been Inhabited.

So then, the basis for thinking of the end of the world, now or ever, is pure ly a misunderstanding, due lurgely to the fact that our English translation uses the word world where it would more properly have used the word Age, Epoch, or order of things. In a word, the present order of things, of which the Scriptures declare Satan is the prince, or ruler, is not to be perpetual; It Is to pass away. A new order of things, under the control of Messiah, the Prince of Light, Is to take the place of the present reign of the Prince of Darkness. A reign of righteousness and life is to succeed the present reign of sin and death, according to St. Paul. -Romans .1:17.21. Christ's Second Coming, The llllile everywhere represents that Christ left a Heavenly glory when lie came to earth nearly nineteen cen turies ago. "The Logos was nindu flesh and dwelt among us." The Bible explains that the necessity for this humiliation, this leaving the glory und taking a bondman's form, lay In tho fact that God had pronounced a death sentence upon man, which mankind were paying and from which they could not bo released unless some one would become their redeemer and meet the penalty for them n death penalty, not an eternal torment penalty, of Willi s the Scriptures know nothing. The Bible nowhere tells that Jesus took tho human nature to keep It for ever, and to return with It to Heaven, where It would be completely out of order and out of place. The Bible teaches, on tho contrary, that "llesli and blood cannot Inherit the Kingdom of God" (1 Corinthians ir:.r0); and that Jesus was made tlesh merely "that He by the grace of God should taste death for every man" (Hebrews 2:0) und that after doing this work He would "ascend up where Ho was before" (John (1:02). St. Paul assures us that this, the Divine Program, has been car ried out. After telling of our Lord's obedience to the Father's will In hum bling Himself to death, even the death of tho cross, he adds, "God hath high ly exalted Him" "far above nngels, principalities and powers." lMilllppI ans 2:5-11; Kphcslans 1:20-23. Tho Master declared plainly, "Yet a little while, nnd the world shall see Mo no more"; but lie promised that He should be seen by His followers. St, John declares, "We shall be like lllm; for we shall see Hliu as He is." (1 John 3:2.1 We read: "Kvery eye shall see Him"; but this, to be In har mony with the other Scriptures, must refer to the eyes of understanding. Tho Bible declares that eyes of hu man understanding are blinded now by error and sin, but that shortly all the blind eyes shall be opened. Then all will see Messiah and His Kingdom with tho eye of faith, as the Church now' see Jesus, the crown of life, and tho things which the natural eye hath not seen. Parousia Prosencei Epiphania Mani festation. Our Kngllsb word coming Is used to translate several very different Greek words, One of theso Is Parousia, which means presence, und Is used In referring to the llrst stage of the Lord's Second Advent He will be Invisibly present For a time none but tho saintly few whose eyes of under standing are anointed through the Word and tho Spirit will renllso Ills Parousia, His presence, while ull things earthly will continue as they have liecn-buylng. selling, building, marrying, etc. Then, later on, will come the Kplphaula; that Is to say, the revelation, or manifestation, of the present One. This will not bo a manifestation In the tlesh, but In a great Time of Trouble, symbolically represented as flro, as when we read. "He shall be revealed In tlnnilug lire, taking vengenncc."-2 Thess. 1:7-10, To my understanding, the Bible teaches that Jesus has been present In the world since 1H74. In other words, Ills Second Advent then hegau. The wonderful progress In the world since then Bible students thus explain; the wonderful blessing upon them and their study of the llllile they Interpret In harmony with this. They under stand the Bible to teach that this Pa rousia will continue fur a thousand years; but that the Kplphanlti, or man li'estatlon to the World, will be due in forty years from the time the Presence begun. Tor this reason they are look ing very InlercNiedly lo see what the present year may bring forth. And do we not see everywhere signs of unrest, a lime of trouble brewing! It looks as though this year would mark the beginning of the "llanilng lire" of Judgments upon tin. world which will murk the closing of this Age and the Inauguration of the New Dispell mi t Ion of Messiah's. Kingdom, when "Justice shall be laid to the line and righteousness to the plummet," -nut when the Ignorance, superstition and darkness which so long have hindered us will la-gin to be broken. The tran sition may Ih painful, yet It will be blessed, marking the overthrow of Satan's empire ami reign of sin and death and the Inauguration of Mes siah's Kingdom and Its lielgn of right eousness and life eternal, "Eating, Drinking, Planting and Build ing." Our Lord. In dooeiiblng His Second Presence, clearly Indicated that It would lie unnoticed liy the world until the cataclysm of trouble should come. Thus Ili likened the earlier days of Ills presence to that period before the Flood, when the world, unconscious of I the Impending catastrophe, continued to build, est and drink ss usual, and knew not. So, says the Master, It will be In Ih tud of this Age. Hating, DAILY CAPI TAIi MMMtTM'tM-HM drinking, building, planting and mat rylug will proceed as usual; and the world will not know that they are In the presence of the Son of Man. The great Day of Trouble, noted through out the Scriptures as "the Time ol Trouble such as never was since there was a nation," will come upon them suddenly St Paul says like the pang! of a woman In chlld-blrtb. A New Dis pensation nnd new order of things I about to be born, nnd this great trou ble Is merely Incidental to that birth. St. Fuul refers to the matter, say ing, "Yourselves know perfectly, breth ren, that the Day of the Lord eutnetli as a thief In the night. For when they the world shall say, Pence and safe ty, then sudden destrmtion cometli upon them, as travail upon a womai with child: and they shall not escape Hut ye, brethren, are not In darkness that that Day should overtake you a a thief, Ve are all children of the light, children of the Dny."-1 Thesso loulans ,1:1-0. Change a Cause For Rejoicing. If this great change from the domin ion of Sutan to the rule of Christ shall begin to manifest Itself this very year, 11)14, It will be a cause for rejoicing to all. Although no sufferings are Joy ous, but rather grievous, nevertheless when we know that our Interests are In the hands of a gracious Savior, who died for us and who Is Intent upon do ing all that can bo done for the recov ery of our race from sin and death, we may well be glad In realizing that the1 Plan which Messiah is about to carry out for tho blessing nnd uplifting of mankind from sin and denth conditions Is part of the original Divine Plan of the Father. And we buve all the more Joy, confidence nnd assurance that all things will work together for good to those that love God. "The hud mny hnvo a bitter taste. Hut sweet will be the flower." The trouble will be on awful one, but we believe not of great length. The Bible everywhere tells of the glorious results that will follow, when tho shackles of darkness, sin nnd error shall be broken, and when all the spir itual powers surrounding mankind will bo good and helpful, as In contrast with thoso of the wicked spirits now operating through mediums, by clair voyant und clalraiidlent powers, to en snare, to deceive, to bewilder, mnn kind. The fact that our Lord appeared In seven different tlesh-forms on various occasions after Ills resurrection does not contradict other plain statements. Rather, we see that such nppearances resembled the appearances of nngels In the llosh, to,coininunlcate some good message from God to men. Had Jesus not materialized and appeared to His disciples, what proof would they or we ever have had respecting Ills res urrection? And would not the fuel that He saw them for a few moments and then vanished tend lo prove to them that He was no longer n tlesh being, but a spirit being, who had merely appeared to them for u special purpose' St Paul declares that he saw the Lord last, and not as n man, but as a spirit being, whose brightness was above that of the sun: and It In jured his eyesight; for our Lord was not veiled In the tlesh, us when He appeared to the disciples during the forty days. The Christ who Is to come a second time, then, Is not the Jesus of the flesh, but the glorified Jesus, who In nature und glory Is far above tho on-gels-of tho Divine nature. "This Same Jesus Shell Corns Again." When Jesus ascended, two angels ap peared to the disciples, saying, "This tame Jesus, whom ye have seen go Into Heaven, shall so come again In like .nnnner as ye have seen lilm go." In iko past many of us have misunder stood this statement not scrutinizing It carefully enough. Assuredly u would be the same Jesus that would come ugaln-tho same One who died for us, the same One who left tho glory for us before He was born tho Babe of Bethlehem. In all His changes He re mains tho same personality, us He de clared: "I am He that Is, and was, und Is to come." The nngels did not say, however, He will come again In the tlesh, or materialized, as you have seen Him go away. Their message related to the manner of His going and the manner of Ills coming. What was there special about the manner of His going away that would correspond to the manner of His coming again? Many things! He went away quietly, secretly, unknown to the world, un known to any except Ills disciples. In like manner has been Ills Pnrouslu sllcntly, ipiletly, unknown to the world, lint known lo any except Ills disciples Surely, If we are right In saying that Ills Parousia begun in 1S7I. the man ner would correspond with the manner of His going. He did not come with glorious hosts, blaring trumpets, etc., hut as a "thief In tho night." If we have the correct date and chronology, Gentile Times will end this yeur IPH. What of It? We do not surely know. Our oxpoetotlon Is that the active rule of Messiah will begin about the time of the ending of the lease of power to the Gentiles, our expectation, tine or false. Is that there will be wonderful manifestations of Divine Judgments against nil unrighteousness, and that this will mean the breaking up of miiny Institutions of the present time, If not nil. Some Scriptures seem to indicate that this will mean world-wide an archy, not all beginning at the same moment, nor ending at the same time, but beginning and gradually spreading the world around. The further Intima tion Is that this trouble will eventually pnive s blessing to humanity, melting their heart In the Day of Trouble, teaching them more of sympathy for one another, blinking the power of su lerNtllloii, wealth, Ignorance, eto.-pre-purlmt them for the gorlous lielgn of Messiah's Kingdom.

CLEANER CITY UP TO WOMEN Those of Better Glass Worst Offenders. DON'T BLAME UNTIDY MAN. Virtue and Cleanliness Can't Be Leg islated Into People We're Mad on the Subject of Making Laws and Quits Indifferent to Enforcing Them. i By MRS. E. R. HEWITT, President of Women's Municipal league, New York city. The women who don't meet their own little responsibilities are often the very ones who are on the lookout for bigger ones. It's a bore to see that our own ash cans are of the right size, and it's so much more interesting to bustle about and make the public conscious of Its responslbllty about something. We women of the better class are the worst offenders, because we know what we ought to do, and we don't do It. Somehow we feel outside of the law. The poor are made to feel Its re strictions much more sharply. . Cleanliness Is an instinct with wom en that has survived in spite of the fact that we are nil fundamentally lazy and many are untidy. It has survived, l think, because It makes for health. I don't blame the men for being un tidy, because It isn't their fault. We haven't brought them up properly, nnd nature didn't make them so to begin with. We haven't been stern enough with them. For one thing, we don't make them ashamed to look us In the eye when they come into the house Just after throwing a cigar away In the street before entering. We don't ob ject to their lazy ways so long as they don't bring the stumps In with them. There you have the root of tho whole matter we don't, any of us, feel our own responsibility In the little things that go to make our streets dirty, our city a bad example of municipal sanita tion. You can't legislate virtue and clean liness into people, but Just now we are mnd n the subject of making laws and quite Indifferent to enforcing them. We. are not law nblding citi zens; we nre chronic breakers of the law. We adore the order thut we And In European titles und wonder why we can't have it here. That order Is imposed from authority ubove; bore it must como from within if It comes nt ull. If wo don't like that kind of self government we uiny go and live else where, but while we nre hero we must ubldo by our self made rules If we would have order and good health. Enforcement of the rules of sanitation lies with tho woman at the beud of the house. The Woman's Municipal league Is making propaganda for a cleaner city by disseminating information about the rules nnd regulations which we would follow if wo tried to bo law abiding citizens. It Is divided Into sec tions, each of which is captained and organized like a separate county In a stale and through which the work Is being done. One of the most recent activities of the lenguo was the meas uring of nsh cans, which revealed a very distressing state of affairs to wit, that the greater numljer were oversized nnd only Imposed upou the city's ash can dumper n harder task thun his should be. CLEAN UP AND 8AVE BABIES' LIVE3. Dirt fattens flies and kills babiesl Dirt In itself, such ss rubbish and other waste, doea not di rectly oauss diseass unless it contains orgsnisms impregnated with contagion. But dirt of any kind ia a breeding spot for flies and other vermin whloh sot aa dlreot carriers of contagion from siok to healthful persons. A grsat majority of the deatha of the young, particularly dur ing the aummer, are due te in fection by baoteria. In order for thess grsat enemies of man kind to thrive there must be means for their growth, and dirt is the culture field or breeding place, The norma which enter milk or other food are deposited by flies through ths menns of circulating dust or otherwise. Sunlight, ths rsmov.il of garbage and ths uss of plsnty of soap and hot water are ths best means of rsduoing this source of danger.

Be careful of conflagrations In ths enthusiasm of ths cleanup period, In many towns last year ssh piles wars dug Into ths ground and covsred with clear) earth, csns and rubbish were piled in the allaye, whits old leaves, pa pers and brush were burned en ths vacant lota. On many occasions thees cleanup fires assumed Urge pro portions and threatened adjoin ing property) requiring the call ing out of ths fir depart ment. 4 The ability to sUe up the future with a large degree of accuracy is on of the meat vlsuable mental gifts. DEATH TO FLY INTERESTS GREAT MINDS. SINCE ths fly swatting cam paign of last year, which was a mere skirmish in a battle of nations, leading msn of this country and Europe, a number of scientific ones among them, have become identified with an organization having the extermination of flies aa its serious purpose. They are earnest in attaching quite as much importance to the work as is commonly accrsdited to great objects of preventive measures, such as tuberculosis and yellow fever. They regard the fly aa about the worst enemy of man kind by reason of the vsry fact that it ia tolerated while carry ing to humans nearly every known form of diaease, being the greatest of germ bearers. Hera ar a few of the well known men and women associ ated in ths crusade to extin guish the flyi Dr. Albert Vanderveer, Al bany. N. Y.; Miss Alice Lakey, Cranford, N. J. Mrs. Caroline Bartlett Crane, Kalamazoo, Mich.; Mrs. Robert S. B. Brad ley, Boston; Dr. Joseph Y. Por ter, Jacksonville, Fla.; Dr. S. G. Crumpine, Topeka, Kan.; Dr. Woods Hutchinson, Colonel John Y. Culyer and Daniel D. Jack son, M. S and Edward W. Hatch, Jr., New York. FLY CARRIED FIVE MIL- LION GERMS. A RECENT experiment with 414 flies that had not been specially exposed showed them to be a germ carryall of from 1,250,000 to 6,600,000 germs sach, When a fly "washes its hands" it means that it is just shaking off some thousands of germs. A fly no different from its fellows was caught in a sterilized net and immersed in a battle of sterilized water. When the previously pure water was examined it was found that the creature had left more than 6,000,000 germs in its bath wa ter. LESSON IN ARITHMETIC. IF one fly ocoupies cubio quarter of an inch, how many flies make a cubio foot? Two hundred thousand. Then how much space ia occu pied by the progeny of one suc cessful fly? About 100,000 cu bic miles. N. B. Figures don't lie. The call for patriotio fly fight ers is out. None too feeble with age, none too weak with youth, if the patriotism ia in him. Now, before matters ar worse, is the time for intervention, CLEANLINESS HEAVY AR TILLERY IN FLY WAR. DON'T mind a rattlesnake or two about the house, but kill every fly'aa you value your life and ths livss of your children. In the war against ths fly cleanlineee is ths heavy artil lery, vigilanoe the machine guns and determination th Maussrs. HOW ONE HUSTLING WEST- ERN CITY CLEANED UP.
