From early lu fancy fear und apprehen

We realize our Imperfection, and that
our God Is perfect, und that perfection

approve, and that some kind of pun

Adversary, taking uilviintae of our
forefather, misrepresented the Al
mighty and hax used our fears to
alienate us from him and lu w rest and
distort li s message to us in the ItllMe.
St. I'uiil assures us that this Is Satan's
general procedure; that he puts light
for darkness and darkness for light.
Thus It comes that our text, which Is
really one of the most beautiful und
comforting in the whole I'.lhle when
rightly understood, has to many he
come a lash in tliu hands of their fears.
It Is needless to say that our text Is
one of the symbolisms of a Hook tilled
with symbols, God's people, guided by
IiIh holy Spirit, In duo time will ap
preciate these symbols. For many of
them tho due time Is already here.
The Throno Is Messiah's. It represents
his Mediatorial Dominion of earth for
a thousand years. Its whiteness sym
bol I zes tho purity, tho Justice, of his
Kingdom of righteousness under the
Whole heavens. The heavens und
tarth which will flee away from tho
presence of tho great Emmanuel will
not bo the heavens of God's Throne,
nor the enrth which he has given to
the children of men. The heavens and
earth which will flee awny, and for
which no place will be found, are. of
course, tho symbolical ones. In Bible
symbolngy the earth represents estab
lished civilization; the sen represents
the restless, dissatisfied masses of hu
manity. The mountains symltollze hu
man governments, kingdoms, which
constitute tho backbone of present
Bplrltunl Influences Kccleslnstlclsm,

text declares that when Messiah shall
assume control of tho world; w hen he

ahall exercise rulershlp amongst men.
the result will bo that the social sys
tem of today, as well as the present
day ecclesluHtlclHin, will flee away, will
jtnss nut of existence no place will be
found for them.
8tn Now the Prince.
Some man may be Inclined to ask.
Has not Christ been the (.-rent Itulcr
of the world for these past ulneteen
centuries? And whatever may be said
of the four thousand years before the
coming of Christ may It not be claim
ed that he has been retailing ever since
his ascension to the right hand of the
Father? We answer that If this he
true; If the Kedeemer of men has been
reigning as the King of earth for
these nineteen centuries, there should
be something In the Bible to so teach.
Hut wo find nothing. On the contrary,
we hearken to the Master's own words
telling us that Satan Is the Prince of
thin age (John xlv, fJO). Wo hearken
to hliu again telling us, "My Kingdom
Is not of this world (agei" (John xvlll.
3H. Agnlu he says, "I will coinn again
and receive you unto 'myself' iJohu
xlv, 3. Again ho tells us that he went
Into a far country to receive the title
to hU Kingdom, then to return to take
possession of It (Matthew xxl, 311; xxv.
Mi. ami that at his hecond coming ho
will bo the great King of glory, lie
tells us the same thing In Matthew
xxv. 31. "When the Son of Man shall
come in his glory, and all the holy an
gels with him, then shall he sit upon
the throne of his glory."
On the other hand, as wo soiin the
pages of history during tho past eight
een centuries, we are couvlnced that
Messiah has not been tho King of the
world. To think of him as such, with
the omnipotent power which we ac
credit to him. would bo to charge hltu
with responsibility for bloody and
atrocious persecutions und wars und
famines and pestilences. Surely no
right-minded persou. ufter mature con
sideration, can rationally accept the
theory that the glorious Messiah's
reign of righteousness for the blessing
of the whole earth, the uplifting of
the whole race, the enlightenment of
every creature, and the bringing of all
possible Into accord with (iod none of
us could ililuk that that relgn of the
gn-at Mediator between Cod and men
Is In the past. We must agree with
our text that It U In the future, and
that, when established. Its effect upon
the Institutions of the present -politl-
Mil. social. financial, religious -will bo
such that they will llee away; no
place ever more will be found for
them. Ah! from this standpoint there

As an Illustration of the exorbitant
prollts I w III relate a case: Two young
men whose accumulated savings
amounted to thirty thousand rupee-'
(about two thousand pounds, or ten

milling. Their prollts for the first yenr
were eighty thousand rupees about
five thousand pounds, or twenty-five
thousand dollars. They were not In
the combine to depress t lie price of
rice, liti t they prol.'led by what the
combine accomplished. These Inequi
ties of our present social order are
beyond the reach and correction of
the comparatively few men of ability
not directly or Indirectly Interested In
them.
Th Whits Thron Judgment.
Neither Jehovah nor his great Itepre
senlalive. Messiah, can in any sense
or degree be a party to Injustice or In
equity. The fact that Injustice has
been permitted, and that Inequity
has beeu the rule for centuries. Is
to bo accounted for by the other
fact that during all this period the
world has beeu under the reign of sin
and death, and not under tho relgn of
righteousness and life; It has been un
der the relgn of Satan, "tho Prince of
this world" and of the darkness of
RclflshncHs and evil all of which his
hnmo represents and not under the
dominion of Messiah, the Itepresenta
tlvo of Jehovah, and his righteousness;
not under tho King of glory, the antf-
typical David and Solomon, the a ml
typical Aaron ami Melchlscdec. The
New Dispensation which Messiah's
Kingdom will usher lu Is pictured in
our text. It will be the dominion that
will be world-wide pure, holy, right
eons. Just, truthful. Cod-llke-a great
White Throne. No wonder, we read
that the symbolical heavens and earth.
representing the old order of things-
social, eccleslastlcal-w ill all vaulsli
away.
Hut let no one think for h moment
that CK'clesiasileal princes, financial
princes und political primes will vol
untarily acknowledge that the hour
has come for a full surrender to Mes
siah und to all the principles of his ah
solute righteousness. On the contrary.
these privileged members of our race
will more and more be drawn together
for mutual protection for the pres
ervatlon of the special privileges w hich
have come into their possession. Kven
now we see the prophecy of (lie Sec
ond psalm fullllllng. We are In the
very time when the Lord, through tin
Prophet Oavld, calls the great ones of
(he earth to recognize the (rue sltua
tloii or our wonderful day that It
means that the Hay of Messiah has
arrived, and that he should be recog
nlzed and Ids principles of righteous
ness obeyed.
i lie call Is recognized. Salute the
Son, O ye kings of the earth, while ye
are In the way with lilni, before his
n tiger be kindled and ye perish by the
way (Psalms II, 10-121. Mat no. th
prophecy declares that we lire In the
day when the people, the masses, will
have foolish Imaginations-when thev
will think that by their own strength
they can Inaugurate a relgn of right
eousness along the lines of Socialism
or by anarchy. The people must
team that their help Is In the Lord
und not In (heir own frail arm. The
people must see the force of tho state
ment, "Iilessed are all they that put
their trust In Messiah" (verse The
Lord Is about to establish the great
White Throne of absolute Justice In
the world.
On the other hand, the inonev kluiM
and earthly rulers and eeclesiastla
princes are taking counsel together to
day for the preservation of the present
Ineifultles of the world, by w hich they
are profiting. The Lord declare that
In fills they are banding themselve

pointed King, Messiah. For over
century human liberty has hivn mak

these princes would turn their atten
tion from the grasping of power anil

lifting of the people tbey would be
come ministers, servants, of the New
Dispensation, which would lie ushered
In with rejoicing, tut the Lord in
forms us that this will not be the case
and that, us a result. Messiah's King
dom will be ushered In by "a time of
trouble such as was not since there
was a nation" (Daniel xll. Ii. The
Psalmist tells ns the same d will
have In derision Ihe puny efforts of
the worldly-w ise and great to re-establish
autocracy. He will npeak to Iheni
In his wrath the lesson which I hey re

The new King and his Empire will be
established In the earth, and the
declaration Is that amidst sii'-h Divine
displeasure he shall "break them with
a rod of Iron and dash them In pieces
like n potter's vessel" (Psalm ii. 4-11;
Revelation II. 117).
Small and Cniat to Bo Judged.
Cod is no respecter of persons.
Hence, before his Judgment Throne
punishments will be meled out to tho
little, as well ns to the great, when
found to be violators of the principles
of Justice. Would that I could Impress
this upon many of the lower classes
who are crying out against the injus
tices In litau places while practicing
similar injustices themselves. Let It
bo remembered also that the great
White Throne speaks blessings. Divine
favor and uplifting tq all who love
righteousness and bnte iniquity the
little and the great.
If In the past a certain retributive
Justice has seemed to proceed along
national lines, blessing the nations
which take tho more righteous course,
and frowning upon those which tatsc
the more evil course, this will no lon
ger be tho case in the not distant fu
ture. Tho testing Imposed by Mes
siah's Kingdom will be along individ
ual lines. Ho that cnts the sour grope
of sin will find his teeth on edge, nnd
his alone. "JustVe will be laid to
tho line and righteousness to the plum
met," and all the refuges of lies, by
which mankind In high places have
nought to fool themselves and others.
will be swept away. The hidden things
of darkness will be brought to light nnd
the glorious things of light will be
everywhere recognized. Ultimately "ev
ery knee shall bow nnd every tongue
confess" to the enthroned Messiah.
"The Books Will B Opened."
The Master said. "My Word shall
Judge you In the last day." Happy has
It been for the comparatively few who
have heard the Master's Word In this
present life. and have Judged themselves
thereby, nnd submitted themselves to
his righteous precepts'. These blessed
ones will share with Messiah the glo
ries of his Spiritual Kinplre. Invisible
to men. Put during the Thousand Year
Judgment Day of the world (II Peter
111, 7. Si the same words the "wonder
ful words of lift" to those who will obey.
and words of death to those who will re
fuse obedience-will be t lit standards
of Justice for all mankind.' The books
then to be opened to all will Include,
not only the words of the Master and
of the Apostles of the New Testament.
but also the Divine message through1
the Prophets of old. Then all shall see
the oneness ami harmony of the Divine
message of righteousness. According
to those standards each who would
have eternal life must conform his liv
ing and his thinking. The approved,
at the end of Messiah's relgn, will be
delivered over to the Father perfect ns
human beings. The disapproved will
be destroyed In tho Second Death
without hope (II Peter II. 12; Judo 12;
Acts 111. 'Jilt.
Another book of life will be opened
another besides the one that is now
open, which is styled tho Lamb's Hook
of Life, and In which Is written the
nnmcg of his faithful followers of the
present tlme-"niembers of his Hotly."
"the Itoynl Priesthood." "the P.rlde. the
Lamb's Wife." The new book of life
will be fur those who will be on I rial
during Messiah's relgn. Hy Its close
It w ill Include all of Adam's race found
worthy of eternal life.
The Judgment of the Church In the
present time Is not according to works,
the perfection of which, under present
conditions, would be Impossible, Hence
the Church's Judgment Is according tti
faith a. id the obedience of faith pos
sible. Put the world's Judgment will

St. Loah, y.o.. Oct. 2 i, lil0.
To the officers and other employes
of the Missouri Pacific Railway Com
pany and St. Louis, Iron Mountain &
Southern Railway Company:
There are no material differences
existing between the railway com
pany and the machinists except the
question of the reinstatement of the
foremen who went out with the men.
The machinists' organization Insists
upon their reinstatement to the posi
tions they formerly held, which re
quest has been refused.
The right of the railway rompany
to select Its officers of whatever
rank, Including foremen, Is one which
cannot be relinquished to a labor
organization, while the company la
held to responsibility for the safety
and efficiency of Its service
The action of the other labor
organizations to coerce the railway
company into compliance with the
machinists' demands by threats of a
sympathetic strike, In violation of
their contract agreements entered
Into since the machinists' strike was
declared, cannot be permitted to In
fluence the company In Its determi
nation to maintain control of Its
business through its own official
organization.

I'nsafe Veins Ago.
The following Is taken from the
Nehawka News under a heading of
"Items from the Nehawka Register
17 Years Ago," which shows that the
old hull called a jail has been unsafe
in which to keep prisoners for many
years. If It was unsafe 17 years ego,
It Is truly doubly unsafe now: "The
murderers of old Mr. Akerson near
Murray, two tramps, had Just been
captured in Lincoln. There was con
siderable talk of lynching and on ac
count of the condition of the Jail at
Plattsmouth, they were taken to
Omaha for safe keeping."
