Yet we must not expect all sunshine. A great cloud is immediately before us, with a terrific storm, which will convulse the present order of things social, financial, political and religious. The momentary chaos will yield to the Prince of Peace, who will then take to Himself Ills great power and relgu. He will say to the raging winds of strife and the billowy waves of trou ble.

The Highway which Messiah's Kins doni will open up to all the children of Adam to the non-elect-will lead them back to pel feet Ion. When Cod in. id? Father Adam, He made Inin a nun, not an iiMf:7 an otrthly being, not ftctir rn!u beiui. Cod crowned Adam with earthly glory and honor, and set him us king over the earth, its listi. fowl. ( beasts. God changes not. His puiKise is the same today as In the beginning. For six thousand years God has al lowed humanity to propagate and go down Into the sleep of death, there to await a better time future. Meantime God sent forth Ills Son and redeemed mankind, and then glorllicd the obedi ent Savior. Since then, God lias been electing a saintly few to be Messiah's joint-heirs. The next thing lu order Is the blessing of nil the remainder of Adam's race by Restitution-restoration to the earthly glory and honor originally intended, but lost by sin and redeemed at Calvary. Let this thought come to our hearts and minds as in the future we look at the Union Depot and read the inscrip tion there: "The desert shall rejoice and blossom as the rose." So doing, our hearts will be drawu nearer to the Lord. Our Increasing faith will make increasing obedience more nearly pos sible. And love for our Creator will come in to sanctify our hearts and to assist us in showing forth the praises of Him who hath called us out of dark ness into His marvelous light. The Prophet declares respecting the hosts that will pass over the Highway of Holiness, that they are all the ran aomed of the Lord-the redeemed world of mankind. He says, "The ransomed of the Lord shall be restor ed and come to Zlon with songs and everlasting Joy upon their heads; they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sor row and sighing will flee away." And Jesus adds that there shall be no more sighing, crying and dying, because all the former things of sin and death shall have passed away. He that slt teth upon the Throne shall make all things new. Revelation 21:4, 5. - Jesus a Ransom For All. Once In our Ignorance we supposed that Jesus died only for the Church that only the Rrlde class, the Little Flock, were to be ransomed by the precious blood. Now we see different-ly-that God'a Love and the provision He has made in Christ are world wide. We knew that the Scriptures stated the matter broadly, but we look ed through the narrow spectacles of the creeds of the Dark Ages. Thus we disregarded the worda of the Apos I tie, "God will have all men i to be aaved. and to come to the knowl- MRS. STEVEN B. AYRES.

Moreover, as our context declares, the lame will be strong and leap for i.v. We are not disputing that all the lameness, deafness, ailments of the present time, will quite disappear dur ing Messiah's reign of a thousand years.

Pastor Russell took as his text Isaiah 33:1, which declares, "The desert shall rejoice and blossom as the rose." This prophecy Is having n literal fulfilment now lu our Western States. He told of what he had seen in Oregon aud Washington-beautiful groves bearing J delicious fruits growing where once J nothing but sage brunt grew on land supposed at one time to be practically valueless. The application of water has wrought a marvelous transforma tion, or miracle. It might be described lust as the Prophet portrays.

Our Government Is co-operating with air Intelligent fcllow-cltlzeus of the West In the fulfilment of the Divine prophecy. Although the work is only in its infancy, the results are already marvelous. Some of the fruits are so beautiful, so luscious, that we may well wonder If there was anything superior In the Eden of old, or If the Paradise promised to be established In all the earth will be able to bring these fruity to a fuller perfection A similar work of reclamation of the desert is going on in old Arabia.

It Is from that destruction toward which all are tending that Christ has redeemed all. And His Klugdom will be for the very purpose of destroying the brond way and rescuing the poor degenerates born in sin and shapen In Iniquity, who were heedlessly going the downward way. In the Highway there will be no lions and ravenous beasts o' licensed saloons aud other evils to tempt, to entrap; and Satan, the great Adversary, will be bound during that thousand years.
