Today I Invite nttriitloii to some oth
er (lead Hies, Home other lldditloiis to
God's Word, which have lind mm h to
do wllli twisting the theolop-y oiko
delivered to the Kiilnls. Take, for In-
Mume, tin; IHintT words of the Lord a
I'myt r:
"Thine Is the Kingdom and Fower and
Glory."
These words. If tittered by our Lord,
isbould he found In the old Cn-ck MSS.
Lut they arc not found therein. They
are, therefore, to he rejected ns addi
tions made hy people centuries after
Muttlicw's Cimpel was written. These
words were Introduced when the faith
if the Church respecting the Kingdom
of Messiah was chunked or chunglng
from whnt it was originally. All
through thi; New Testament the See.
ond Coining of Christ In power and
glory to entulillsh Ills Kingdom and
to glorify the Church, Ills Itride, Is net
for the tnd of tlibi Gospel Age. Hut
as thi) Huh; (;rew long a change of
nentlnicnt came lino the Church. It
became popular and rich. Its bishop
were respected. Finally tho theory
prevailed that God did not Intend to
delay the establishment of the King
dom tint i 1 the Kecond Coining of
Christ, but did Intend to establish It
In the hand of the Church during this
Ago and to use the Church for the con
quering of the world and the fulfilling
of all tho prombifH of the past.
lu line with this the most prominent
bishop of the (line was recognized ns
Divinely appointed to represent Christ
lu tho world and to reign over the na
tions lu Ills Htcnd nud to bring about
tho Millennium, etc. This was the
Itbdiop of Home, who HUbseipiently
wus styled the 1'ope and who claimed
and was accorded the honorable title,
"YUr ticmit of the Kim of Coil." It Is
Raid that the equivalent of this title to
this day Is worn by the 1'ope on his
thiia or three-crowned hat Ylraritt
fid nut.
Thus (he change came In the general
ncntliiiciit of the "Christian world."
Messiah's Kingdom was no longer to
bo looked for as coming, but was to be
recognised ns here. Tin; 1'ope, ns Mes
siah's feigning representative, was to
be acknowledged. All Kingdoms that
were to honor and obey Messiah were
commanded to honor and obey the
1'ope. The various prophecies which
tell of Messiah's Kingdom glory were
nppllcd to tho 1'ope, and are mill ho
applied.
As Messiah was to ride forth con
quering the world and "wound tho
heads over ninny peoples," ho the Topes
In Hticcesslon sought to do, to fulfill
these prophecies. As the Inaugura
tion of Messiah's Kingdom Is prom
ised to be In the midst of n 1 1 mo of
.rront trouble, It. was not thought Im
proper that I'lipaey Hhonld cause great
trouble In the world In Its endeavor
to establish Itself as the Kingdom of
Messiah. As whosoever would not re
ceive Messiah was to be "destroyed
from amongst the people," It was not
considered wrong to destroy those who
rejected and opposed the Papal Kingdom
and to give theni to tho burning fame.
"Thy Kingdom Coma on Earth."
The Lord's pnfyer was already fn
tho Scriptures, nud wan known to
many. It could not be eliminated.
I'ut some zealous person, fully belley
Ing that God's Kingdom had come, felt
Justified In amending the prayer to
correspond to what he supposed were
the' f n ts. Hence the prayer which
bej-las, "Thy Kingdom come," Is made
to end by saving, "Thy Kingdom has
come lu Its glory and power."
If Papacy Is thy Kingdom of Mes
siah, It Is certainly mt what the Jews
expected. It Is certainly not what wo
tApectod. It is certainly not what the
tnasses of mankind had nny reason to
rpecl, although It Is ho accepted by
tho majority of Christendom.
Although our protesting forefathers
broke away from tho Tope and de
nounced him iim Ant! Christ and de
clared that he falsely Hat lu tho place
of Christ without authority, they, nev
ertheless, were Imbued with tho same
error. They did not think to go bnck
to the mossnge "f the Scriptures and
to look for tho Son of God to set up
Ills Kingdom at Ills Second Advent
8nd then to bless Israel and the world
through Ills glorified Church. Instead
they held to the Pnpnl theory that
God's Kingdom wus eet up nnd was
conquerlnif the world, ond that thus
the !eb.jlc rdgn mentioned In tho
prophecy Is being fulfilled. They hold
that thri.l himself Is the Invisible
Kin.,' I ut tli.it the P'-pc Is not author
ized to represent him. Hi-.'!' this spuri
ous addition to the Word God Has ac
cept iMe to Protestants as to Catholic;
lii'Icd rn.-re so. If we mny uiw bj
It,.) f.: t tii it the Catholic l'.i .le omits
the Hpurioi.s won' i, while the Pioies
taut I;i!i!e '(no tcs them.
We lieic remark that according to
Pn.te-tant theory Messiah's Kingdom
l-t re-pro filled lu the civlllZ'-d nations
of the v. odd, especially of hurope.
These all claim to reign "by the grace
of God." In vvhh h case, t.f course, val'.t
and battles between them are con.'llcts
I between the various part of Messiah's
Kingdom. And present military prep
arations on land and s";i portend u
most Hiinguinary cont'ii t between theso
"kingdoms of this world," which think
themselves and are called by Christen
dom "kingdoms of God."
How glad we are to nee the Truth on
this Hubject; that th; Kingdom of
God's dear Son has not yet been net
up, la any sense of the word-that It Is
still future. It cannot be net up until
this Gospel Age ends and the "elect"
saintly few of every nation .low and
oOi'Mle tdiall be rhanyrj from earthly
to heavenly nature by the l'iist Itcsur
rection, which will cpiallfy them to be
"kings and priests unto God and unto
Christ and to reign with Ilim u thou
sand years" (Revolution xx, (.).
It Is will that nil Lll.lc Htudents
hhould mark this "lly" and extract It
from the Precious Ointment, and no
tice how tniii h sweeter nnd fresher
the Lord's prayer Is to them forever.
"Oh, What a Whoppe'rl"
Thomas Paine was an enemy to the
r.llilci and to tho Christian religion, but
largely so, we believe, on account of
bis poor und'THtanding of It. And
his misunderstanding of the P.lble-vas
largely duo to the false doctrines
handed down from the "Hark Ages"
purporting to be biblical. Who can
not sympathize with the great Infidel,
Thomas Paine, who, when reading tho
last verse of St. John's Gospel, ex
claimed, "O, what n whopper!"' It
reads, "And there are also many oth
er things which Jesus did, tho which,
If they should bo written every one, I
suppose that even tho world itsoir
could not contain the laxiks that
should bo written" (John xxl, 2o).
Surely ntiy one of reasoning mind
should seo tho absurdity of such a
statement. Surely all Christian Min
isters should have Informed the Lord's
sheep under their care respecting what
Is nnd what Is not tho Word of God,
the Mbh, ns It was reognlzfd by the
A post olio Church nnd written down lu
the original Greek manuscripts. Why
any Christian minister should assail
!mo because I endeavor to do for the
1 people what ho has neglected to do 1
cannot tinders, and. I must leave It to
tho Lord to Judge between us. I nm
Informed that hundreds of ministers
went to tho Editors of tho papers
which jnihllsh my sermons weekly nnd
endeavored to have them discontinue
their publication.
Put the Editors perceive that their
renders nro no longer under the bond
age of tho "Dark Ages," but have be
gun to think for themselves, and that
many of them are hungering nnd
thirsting for tho Truth respecting tho
llible-the Christian's spiritual food
nnd drink. To the claim that many
read my sermons Instead of going to
Chun h the answer Is, that. Pastor ltus
sell Is preaching to tho non-church-going
ten millions who are In tho ma
jority and that It behooves tho minis
ters to provide for their people tho
spiritual food for which they an fam
ishing, If they would not lose them nil.
Another Big Fly.
To the credit of such men ns Luther,
Calvin, Knox, Zwlngll, Wesley and
others living prior to our day wo must
explain that they had no opportunity
for knowing of tin spurious passages
of tho Scriptures. They, therefore,
have no responsibility such as de
volves upon ministers of our day avIio
do, or should, know nil about these
mutters. We cannot on this occasion
make further Investigation, take out
more of these dead flies; but, tho Lord
willing, at some future time I John v,
7, H will have our attention. It Is
worthy of It. It has caused tho Oint
ment to slink and has confused tho
minds of many of God's deer saints by
the way In which the ercv In this case
has been Interwoven with the Truth.
My hearers should bear distinctly In
mind that what I am here presenting
Is not nt nil lu lint; with the presenta
tions of the Higher Clitics. Their
method Is to read through tho Scrip
tures nnd Judge of them by their own
keen Intellectual powers, and thus to
discriminate between which were
written by the Prophets credited, and
which were additions. Their Higher
Criticism claims n keener scent or
mental discernment than ordinary
mortals enjoy, by which they know
these things whether others can see It
so or not.
I resent Higher Criticism and accept
tho Word of God lu full. I reject noth
ing because of my own or other men's
surmises, but merely go by the facts.
If tho oldest Greek MSS. do not cou
taln certain passages of Scripture, how
could they get Into later MSS. except
s spurious additions?
Nor should I be considered as fault
finding with our Common Version of
the r.lble. While It Is imt without Its
faults, It Iris so many excellent quali
ties und beautiful translations that I
prefer It to nny other nnd generally
uso It. Put I must not, 1 cannot, ap
prove those portions of It which nil
orthodox scholars admit to be spuri
ous. Vt'e must not handle the Word of
Gol deceitfully. If we do we must ex
pect darkness Instead of light, con
fusion Instead of harmony.
Our Rible'a Ter-Centenary.
Just three centuries ngo our English
Common Version PIMe was published.
This year Its Tcr (Vctenary Is cele
brated. It Is n gii iid book. It has
done n grand work. Tho fait that It
Is not jeiti'i-t must not condemn a
work possessed of so many glorious
(pin 11 tics. It was the H-Ult of sceu
years' labor on the p ,rt of forty-seven
persons "arned In the i.iniriutL'es.ind up
pointed by King .lames of I'li-iaad for
lis preparation. Th y In bond to some
disnd aiitae by reason of Ihe cmn
mainl given them to follow an earlier
translation styled. The lib-hop's l'.ible,
and to alter it us ill lie as the original
would, allow. They were also Instruct
ed that if tin? Tyn.lalc. Coverdale, Mat
thew, Crannier or Wh't hur h transla
tions and the Geneva Editors agreed
better with ihe text, theirs should be
uccepti-d as Instead of the l'.lshop's.
The translation was, peihaps, the best
that could be inaile at the time.
Published by klnl;- authority, It Is
now venerated by Eugl.sh and Amer
ican Protestants as though It had come
direct from the linger f God. This Is
a mistake. We are to worship Cod
and ti reverence Ills Word and to
sean-lt as carefully as possible' to have
the precious Ointment provided by the
spirit of the Truth free from t'll d'-ad
Hies-free from all human additions
and lnNtraiislation.s and superstitions
of the "I lark Ages."
The basis for our Common Version
was the Latin Vulgate, which was dili
gently revised and compared with the
Greek MSS. of the time. Put there
were few Greek MSS. known at that
time, w hereas nt the present time there
are over 'W. Three of these are quite
aiulcnt.
(1) The ftinal'!'' MS., found In a Con
vent on Mt. Sinai so recently as 1SU0.
This is acknowledged to be the oldest
Greek MS. known in the world. Its
Uate is cstiniateil to lie about tlcj year
.'llll A. I. This MS. Is now in the pos
session of the Itusslau government ut
St. Petersburg.
(2) The Vatican MS., VXA), Is credited
with being next in age. It was found
amongst old MSS. lu the Vatican Li
brary und Is still there nnd catalogued.
The date of its writing Is estimated to
bo ultout the year 350 A. I.
(.'!) The third of these oldest known
Greek MSS. of the New Testumeut is
styled the Alexandrine, because It wns
found lu Alexandria lu Egypt. It Is
now In the lirltisli Museum, where
uuy visitor can behold It lu a glass
case. It Is supposed to have been writ
ten about A. I. 4,10. Tho readings of
all threo of these Greek MSS. cun be
secured und tho variations between
their readings und ojir Common Ver
sion are so simply arranged us to leave
no excuse for Ignorance on the part of
lllblo students. Our Common Ver
sion with notations of these MSS. can
be obtained through nny bookseller.
A Responsible and Sacred Trust.
Prof. Tlschendorf, writing respecting
these ancient Greek MSS., says:
"To treut such ancient authorities
with neglect would bo either unwar
rantable arrogance or culjmble negli
gence. Indeed, It would be A misun
derstanding of Providence if, after nil
these documents had beeu preserved
through all the dangers of fourteen or
fifteen centuries and delivered safe
Into our hands, we were not ready to
receive them with thankfulness ns
most valuable Instruments for tho
elucidation of Truth."
The Truth In tho Lovt of It
Tho Lord speuks of some who re
ceive not tho Truth In the love of It,
and tells that they ultimately will be
ensnared by tho Adversary. Evident
ly heart honesty Is one of the most
precious elements In tho IMvine sight.
It Is not sullh lent that we should be
Christians In namo hierely and with
form nnd ceremony. It would not be
sulllcU'ut in tiio Lord's sight that we
should worship sect or party or even
the ISilile. It Is the Divine Truth that
wo must reverence next to the Divine
person.
It Is not sullltlent to have Itlbles
on our center tables merely, nor suf
ficient to curry them under our nnns.
We must "eat" the Word of God -that
Is to say, wo must, ns spiritual chil
dren of God, feed iijkhi Ills message.
And this truly implies careful dis
crimination to discern between God's
inspired Itcvclation and nil human ad
ditions und admixtures. There Is,
therefore, n difference between rever
encing nud loving the Word of God
nnd reverencing nnd loving a particu
lar translation, errors nud nil.
"Thy Word la Truth."
Our Master's prayer for nil of Ills
true disciples, or footstep followers,
was nnd still Is, "Sanctify them
through Thy Truth; Thy Word Is
Truth." Whoever would have the
sanctifying Influence of the Divine
Word should so fur as possible rid
himself tif every unsanctlfyhig admix
ture of human tradition und Interpola
tion. The true saiictlllcatlon or set
ting apart of the heart to know nnd
to do the Lord's will could not be con
tent to accept with the sanctifying
Irutli tlelnliig errors, ctiafr and non
sense.
If thousands are turning away from
the Pible there Is a reason. It
Is not the pure Truth that drives them
away. Put the foreign mliuixture nml
the shinderoiis misinterpretations
handed down to us by our well-mean
Ing but deluded ancestors of several
centuries ago. It Is high time for
nil to manifest to God their love of
tho Truth by spending some of their
time In studying It - In learning Its
precious lessons nnd In telling forth
Its "good tidings of great Joy to all
pontile."

BRIDGE TRUST UNDER
FIRE IH LEGISLATURE
A Lincoln correspondent says: The
'bridge trust" was under fire in the
senate today, Senator Skiks declar
ing that such a combine existed and
Senator Ranning followed with an ex
planation of the evils of the present
system. The two senators had intro-
d.ued a bill aimed at the alleged
trust. This measure, senate file No.
272, was ordered engrossed for a
third reading.
Skiles said that the bridge con
tractors have such a clone under
standing that they simply apportion
the counties In which each wishes to
do Duslness.
Under the pivsent law a contract
is Ut in each county once a year
covering the construction of all
bridges costing over $500 and the
secretary of the state board o? Irriga
tion Is required to furnish plans for
all such structures
Banning said that the yearly con
tract system, was devised to ghe
bridge companies annual monipolles
on bridge building In each county, lie
;uid that counties were being forced
to pay about $.1,000 for 100-foot
bridges which could actually be
bought and set up profitably for
$1,200. Bridge contractors get $1,600
usually for a sixty-foot bridge which
Panning asserted was not worth more
than $800.
Placek Insisted that the yearly
contract eystem was necessary in
order to get contractors to keep
enough material in each county to
meet the requirements, but he did
not believe a carload of reserve
bridge material could be found in all
Cass county. The bill carries an ap
propriation of $3,000 to cover the
expense of preparing bridge plans.
Smallpox in Town.
A case -of smallpox is reported at
the home of Superintendent B. D.
Evans. His sister, who Is visiting
here from Colorado, was taken ill on
Thursday of last week, but it was not
definitely known to be smallpox until
Tuesday of this week, when Dr.
Worthman had the house quaran
tined. The doctor states, however,
that it Is a very light form and antici
pates no serious results from It.
The fact that the Indies' Aid
Boclety met with Mrs. Evans "on last
Thursday, when the patient was
taken with a fever, is causing no little
amount of worry on the part of the
ladles who were present Louisville

Mrs. Anna Dean Loses That
Amount and Charges Fred
Wren With the Theft,
One hundred and ninety-five plunks
in gold would be enough to make
the average person's eyes water just
now when money is so scarce, yet
this is the amount that Mrs. Anna
Dean, who until about a week ago
was Miss Anna Brunkow, claims was
stolen from her Suntfay. She charges
Fnd Wren, who has made his home
w ith the Brunkow family for the past
ten or twelve years, w ith the theft.
Wren has put in the majority of
his time for the past six months or
more lapping up booze and making
life miserable for the town marshal.
Sunday he hired a livery team and
was driven to the Rock Island depot
at Meadow, where he purchased a
ticket for Omaha, hut left the train
at Albright. He had a pocketful of
gold and wa3 foolish enough to dis
play it before several people before
leaving tow n. Mrs. Dean filed a com
plaint against Wren early Monday
morning and a warrant was Issued
for his arrest.
Marshal Seybert went to Omaha
and put In the day searching for him,
but without success.
A description was left with the
Omaha and South Omaha police force,
but as he has not been apprehended
it is supposed that he went to other
parts.
Mrs. Dean states that Wren owes
her more than $100 borrowed money.
Since the above was put In type
Wren has returned and is now in jail
awaiting his preliminary hearing.
If he did take the money one thing
Is certain, he hasn't it now. He has
the appearance of having Indulged In

BAKERS LINING UP
The bakers of the state are lining
up In strenuous opposition to hou.e
roll No. 292, w hich provides that ea' h
loaf of bread must weight a pound,
and that If the buyer questions the
weight the baker must put the loaf or
the scales. Then if it is shy he must
supply enough bread to make up thu
pound. The bill also provides other
regulatory measures that cause tk
bakers anguish of mind. They insist,
that it is impossible to make a loaf
weigh exactly a pound, and that
atmospheric influences often caus
the loss of several ounces. Further
more, they assert that the public
never calls for a pound of bread, and
that as it has been accustomed to
buying by the loaf It is a burdensome
restriction on business to provide that
it shall weigh a pound. The spirit of
the city ordinances for a long time
has been opposed to this theory of
the bakers They were drawn on th-
Idea that a loaf ought to weigh a
pound and that when a man buys a
loaf of bread he thinks he Is getting
a pound. The package goods men.
claim that the public buys their prod
ucts by the package and not by
weight, and they are litigating this
point In court. Apparently therw
