Pa., May 11. Pastor Russell gave two addresses here to day. We reirt the one from 1 Tim othy 4:1. 2. It is a severe arraign ment of education, and esj eciu i !y of ministers, notwith standing its mod erate language. The Pastor said: We are gradual iPASTOe. gUSSELL! ly awakening to the fait that the world does not love t.iod. hut merely fears llini; and t hat few of the churches recognize Hiiu as t he gra cious Heaenly Father. Although the Uible has told us reeatedly th.-it God Is Ive. that His mercy endureth tothe limit, and that from Him comes every good and perfect gift, nevertheless the doctrines of demons instilled into our minds from childhood have hindered us from appreciating- these statements. Buck iu the Second Century, when Uibles were printed by ien and very expensive, and wLen few had the edu cation to read them. Satan laid the foundation for gross errors. The cler gy began to claim Aj,Ksto!ie Succession for the I'ishops. who assumed the title of Apostolic Bishops. This meant that they were successors to the AjKJstles, and consequently that their teachings were of equal authority. Gradually the deception fastened itself; nobody was allowed to preach except those au thorized, or ordained, by tboe claiming to be inspired successors of the Apos tles. The result was the separation of the Church as the clergy the public be in,? called the Children of the Church, or sometimes referred to as the laity. A little later the Apostolic Bishops, with Emperor Constantine. started ( reed-ma king. Thereafter creeds t(Kk the place of Bible study; for the Em Ieror decided that the Nicene Creed would le the standard of Orthodoxy, and that any one differing from its teachings would be a heretic and sub ject to jersecution. Any Bible study thenceforth meant liability to lie count ed a heretic and suffer accordingly. Thus Bible studv was crowded out. and any reference to the Bible was considered a slight to these Bishops and the creeds w hich they had made. How long did this last, you lick? We answer, twelve hundred years; then the authority of tLe Bishops as A'kw tles iK-gan to be qu-.-stioned. The Bible bean to be sought and studied, but all who did this were esteemed heretics, or in danger of becoming suchi by get ting out of touch with the creeds. How much error could le brought into the Church in twelve hundred years! Is it any wonder that now we find that our creeds are more than h: If error, and that the doctrines of devils which were worked into them as leaven have corrupted them entirely and made them injurious to spiritual health? I remind you that this was the very prophecy which Jesus made that leav en, corruption, would be hidden in the family portion. (Matthew 16:6. 11, 31!; Luke 13:11.) Again, Jesus pictures the matter in Revelation 17:4, II, where a woman is shown. Laving In her hand a Golden Cup filled with her own false d'K-triues. with which she makes drunk all the inhabitants of the earth. The whole world has been stupid.'y drunk for centuries and now is awakening some dazed, some angry, some hysteri cal, etc. But. thank God! we are get ting awake; and thnt with our waking we perceive that the glorious Morning of the Millennium Is near t hand.

Organized Opposition to the Bible. I am not blaming our forefathers Catholics or Protestants. D:ubtlesR. there were bad men amongst them, but I believe there were also good men and sincere. 1 am blaming the great Adversary. Satan, mid his demons, the fallen angels, as the Apostle dies. We have been debauched by these "doc trines of demons." ns the Ajostle Iu our test declares prophetically. It was alout the year 1500 A. 1. that the ieople began to desire the New Testament and to doubt the inspiration of the Apostolic Bishops. About that time Prof. Tyndale translated the New Testament into the English language, but could not pet it printed In Great Britain, because of the power of the Bishops Protestant Bishops, mark yon, afraid that the Word of God in the hands of the people would discount their authority. Tyndale persevered, had his New Testament printed in Germany, and then imported it to Lon don. Although few of the people could read, they Iegan to buy the book ?rn. raft toe rrvr trrrrnra ones might read to tht-ia. The Apostoll Bishops feared that thi would a.ea the los3 of their prestige: for the peo pie would think for themselves. Th Eisbops bought up the eruire edition and burned the books pubit ly in front of St. Paul's Cathedral, Iondon. Surely. Jesus forewarned us of these would-l Apostles! (Revelation 2:2 He appointed only twelve, and reeog nized St. Paul as the successor to Ju das. These Twelve were to be Hi special mouthpieces and were the rrown of twelTe stars of the Church and its twelve foundation stones. (Revelation 12:1; 21 :14. Referring to the illegal Apostolic Bishops. Jesus said "Thou hast tried them which say they are Apostles and are not. and hast found them liars." Rev. 2:2: 2 Cor. 11:13. Burning the New Testament made tLe matter worse. The people wanted to know why they should not le per mitted to read the words of Jesus and the original Twelve. The pseudo-aiKis ties got busy and produced what they styled the Bishops Bible, and gave -it to the peopie. But with the Bible they gave threats that if the people in any way. through reading that Bible, would get out of harmony with the creeds, they would go to eternal torture. Poor Ieople, brow-beaten and hindered by the very ohes who professed to be their leaders by Divine appointment Poor bishops, deceived by the "doc trines of demons" into taking this ter rible position! j:oman cat none also saw the op portuniry for giving the Bible to the people and thus affecting, as the Prot estants did. to be progressive friepds of the Bible. They got out the Iouay edition. Each party warned the peo pie that tne others translation was especially wrong, although, as a mat ter of fact, there is little difference and the attempt was to binder the leople from studying the Bible. The same spirit is manifested every where yeL Whoever will agree with the creeds. Catholic and Protestant, is tolerated by his own class. Whoever presents the Bible without sectarian bias, and shows its simplicity and puri ty, its Divine Message of love and mercy, that person is branded a heretic and dangerous; and any vilification heaped upon him is reckoned as serv ice to God. however false. It is not surprising that we have been centuries in getting out of the darkness of the past; but it is surprising to what ex tent we have teen hoodwinked by the Adversary. What Are Doctrines of Demons? From first to last, the "doctrines of demons" are various falsehoods de signed to misrepresent God's character and dealings, and thus to hinder the light of God's Message from taking effect in human hearts. But, you say. could not God have hindered Satan from thus practising deceptions and slandering His character? Surely He could, as lie declares He will soon do. But reieatedly the Ixrd indicates that it has leen His purpose not to use force in the gathering of the Church. As SL Peter declares, "God hath giv en unto us exceeding great and pre cious promises, that by these we might become partakers of the Divine na ture." (2 Peter 1:4.) We are God s workmanship: but He is working mere ly through His promises and seeking a class who will respond to His Mes sage and promises. By and by. through Messiah's Kingdom, force will le used for the instruction of others; but those now being selected from the world are to lc taken out without hands without human power, without any jiower except that of the Truth. "Sanctify them through Thy Truth, Thy Word is Truth." (John 17.17.) To whatever extent God's Word is re ceived into a good and honest heart, it does a work of transformation "trans formed by the renewing of your mind," through the Holy Spirit. Rom. 12:2. Satan, personally and through his de mon hosts of fallen angels, seeks to misrepresent God's Message, God's character. St. Paul tells us this, say ing. "The god of this world hath blind cd the minds of those who lelieve not, lest the light of the glorious Gos pel of Christ, who is the Image of God. should shine unto them." (2 Co rinthians 4:4.) if the light of God's goodness shine into auy heart, it will he by the Truth shining in. which will lave the effect of scattering the error and sin and of drawing that person nearer to God. So 1 am hoping today that more light of Divine Truth will shine into all our hearts, that we may be drawn nearer to our God and separated more and more from sin and everything opposed to God. What is to crush this slander against the Almighty, which Satan has ma nil factured? He got us to believe that lefore God created man He made a great place called Hell. Sheol. Hades, supplied It with fire-proof devils and with fuel to last for all eternity, and then made man, knowing that nearly everylxniy would go to that awful place, only one in ten thousand Iteing saintly enough to escape it. Addition ally, we were taught that we would be rendered Indestructible, in ordc! that our torments might last eternally I refuse to leliere thnt any human mind could ever make up such doc trines. I think too highly of my fel low creatures. I accredit those doc trines, as the Apostle does In our text fo demons; and as he explains, their object was to separate us from God and from the Bible. God's Word. When Satan's Work Began. Satan has leeii working his plan of opposition to God for more than six thousand years. He began by telling Mother Eve that her sin would not bring the punishment of death, as God had said: and he has kept tip that tatement until today. He has now .onvlnced the whole world that when aiive This is the fundamental doctrine of the demons. Think how many false doctrines that have troubled us are based upon the thought that the deed are alive! And remember what the Bible says; namely. "The dead know- not anything' (Eccleslastes 9:5); "The wages of sin is death" not eternal tor ment anywhere (Romans 6:22); and, "The soul that sinneth. it shall die" (Ezekiel 1S:4, 20). If we had believed the Bible, we would have been spared the nonsense, the fear, the torture, the delusions, which have troubled us. But we neglected God's Word and took the word of Satan, the SerpenL These doctrines of demons include Purgatory and masses to get out of Purgatory.. They include the work of spirit mediums; for as bishops and priests are deceived, so are mediums. They verily think that, they are com municating with dead humans; where as the Bible makes clear that they are being deceived by the fallen angels, the demons, who know all about our dead friends, and through these me diums try to impress upon us that our friends are aiive. thus giving the only confirmation there is to Satan's lie that the dead are alive. Poor creatures who come under the influence of evil spirits tell us distinctly that the spirits who once claimed to be their dead friends declare plainly, after getting control of these unfortunates, that they are demons, and then proceed to terrify their victims by felling that they will soon have them iu eternal torture. Why Would Demons So Teach? At first thought it would appear as though Satan would not favor any thing telling about future trouble; and thus many are deceived into thinking that whatever tells of the goodness and love of God must be a deception of the Devil. Let us notice carefully the line of the Adversary's attack. He skillfully uses preachers, evangelists and the profane all to tell about Hell and devils, and the creeds to tell that all that is God's Plan. Thus effectual ly he puts a barrier between God and the teople. and drives them from God and from the Bible. Have not these "doctrines of devils' led thinking people away from God and religion into social flurries and nonsense? Have not some men been led to plunje into business, others iuto novel reading, theater-going, drinking, carousing, gaming anything to keep their minds off the most important things, the things of God, the things which the Bible teaches? Surely it is so! And yet there are tnousauus or ministers who are preaching Hell-fire torment, but who do not believe a word of what they say, and who think they are doing it to keen people from going into sin. Do they think that they are wiser than God? Do they expect to hear the Master's "Well done, good and faithful servant," for having slan dered God's name. His character and Message, for having deceived the peo ple, when He plainly told them that the Truth alone will sanctify? I sympathize with the preachers; they are in a terrible place, as the Apostle describes in our text, "Speak ing lies iu hypocrisy; having their con science seared with a hot iron. Only a badly seared conscience couiu ap prove of the slandering of Almighty God and the representing of Him as being worse than the worst of all hu man beings worse than the worst of devils we could possibly imagine. It would be a Irard matter for these gen tlemen, so Jong looked up to as stand a rd bearers for God and the Truth, to come humbly down from their pedes tals and tell the ieople plainly. We have been deceiving you all. or at least have been keeping you in Ignorance of the Truth, for the sake of the salaries we received. A few, we may surely expect, will do this. They are coming nearer and nearer to the point every minute. But they will be few. The majority will brazen the matter out. adding falsehood to hypocrisy. How sad! And every dav that thev delay to step out on the side of Truth will make their case the worse. The peo ple are becoming enlightened, and are ahead of the preachers in knowledge of God and honesty of thought and word. Quite recently I beard from a young man. who went to his pastor, saying. Do you really believe in Hell fire as the punishment for sin?" The answer was, "Yes, certainly, of course we all do." Then the young man told what he had leen thinking; and as he was eaving the minister's study, the latter put his hand on the young man's shoul der, saying, "George. 1 do not believe A eternal torment, but you know we must preach it. Otherwise, we would le out with our denominations and creeds, out of everything; and perhaps the ieople would le the w orse off." What a shameful position! Surely God has given preachers much advan tage over the common people in edu cation and time for study: and surely He will not hold him guiltless thai taketh Ills name in vain that slanders Him. that misrepresents Him. and that Iocs so in the Name of God. religion and the Bible! I am speaking plainly, but not unkindly. My heart grieves for the ministers: for the judgments of the Iord surely will come upon hem for their course. Our forefathers had the excuse of ignorance, misunder- tanding, poor translations, and severe ondages of suerstition. But no ex- use can le offered now by any honest onl for misrepresenting God and de riving the people of God and the world, and to the best of his ability Joining with Satan In attempting to hwart the Divine Purpose of select ing the Household of Faith.

Attending the University, and Companion Impris oned in Room, but Get Ihe Train. From Friday's Pally. A Plattsmouth girl. Miss Marie Robertson, had the experience of be ing one of the chief figures in an ex citing class mix-up at Lincoln on Tuesday, tog-ether with a fellow student, Miss Alice Miller, of Kear ney, both being members of the senior class at the state university. It seems that Tuesday was the annual "snek" day of the senior class, and the whole class had planned to go to Crete to spend the day. Both Miss Robertson and Miss Miller are members of the Delta. Delta. Delta sorority,' and it was the under class members of the sorority who came near causing1 the girls to miss the outing of the seniors. The freshmen co-eds locked the two girls in their room to prevent them leaving the sorority house and joining the seniors, and from the room the girls escaped to the roof of the build ing, from where Miss Robertson escaped after spending several hours there in the almost freezing tem perature prevailing-, and was preparing- to assist Miss Miller to escape, when the trick was discovered by the freshmen and the rescue prevented, although Miss Robertson succeeded in making her escape and hastened to the railroad station, where Chancellor Avery was informed of the condition of affairs and ordered the train held until a rescue party could hasten after Miss Miller. The girls at the sorority house refused to answer the bell and it was necessary to place a ladder from the porch of the E. G. Evans' home next door to the sorority house to the room of Miss Miller and she made her escape, and borrowing a change of costume was able to join the seniors in their outing. The joke was one greatly enjoyed by the under class members of the sorority. Paints and Oils, Gering &. Co. ATHLETICS MEET DE FEAT AT CEDAR CREEK YESTERDAY AFTERNOON The Athletics of this city, armed with their trusty war clubs, yesterday motored out tc our neighboring town of Cedar Creek and attempted to take away the base ball game from the ag gregation of that city, but in this they were worsted by a score of 10 to 9, and returned home well pleased with the trip, although defeated. The boys from this city made a good showing against the Cedar Creek team, which is a pretty fast organiza tion, and as good as can be found in any of the small towns of the county. For the Athletics Vern Long done the tossing; and throughout did very good service and retired a number of the husky Cedar Creek boys by the strike out route. One of the stars for the Plattsmouth bunch was C. Dalton, who filled the position at the second sack, as he was in rare form in his batting, as well as base running, and was able to secure a home run and added two scores to the list of the Athletics by his excellent base running. Frank Marshall, the star first baseman and .400 hitter, was out of the game yes terday, due to an injured arm, and his place was filled in good shape by Clar ence Mason. A. Hula was one of the most successful run producers for the Athletics, as he was able, through his hitting to score a number of his team mates. J. Wolff, the veteran catcher, was the star for the Cedar Creek ag gregation, and in his work was ably assisted by Keil, the mound artist of the team, who was in the best of form. C. .Hadraba. the right fielder of the Plattsmouth team, was the bright star of the entire game, as he made a very sensational play when, with three men on bases, he caught a fly in right field and by his peg home saved the Ath letics from being scored on. Those in the lineup were: Cedar Creek Wolff, catch; Keil, pitch; Ralph Meisinger, center field; Salsburg-, second base; W. Schneider, shortstop; L. Schneider, left field; P. Meisinger, third base; R. Meisinger, first base; Busche, right field. Athletics Briggs, catch; Long, pitch; Hula, center field; Dalton, sec ond base; Grassman, shortstop; Had raba, left field; Noble, third base; Ma son, first base; Hasson, right field.
