Till: POSTAL SAVINGS HANK.
At the annual convention of group
four of the Nebraska Hankers' as
sociation held in Hastings Wednes
day, May 18, the matter of tho pres
ent postal savings bank bill now be
fore congress, was dlBcussed, and
very ably, too, by several members
provision of tho bill up for consldera- country, are we not also sufficiently
tlon, to at least, Induce our own rep
resentatlves to withhold their sup
port from It, on the good and suffi
cient grounds that Its passage will
bo inimical to the best Interests of
our state, as It will be, and as I shall
endeavor to show. ,
"At the outset, the advocates of
this system haa apparently but the
bnzlest idea ot how It would work
out in this country In connection
with our present banking system,
which, bo it understood, Is unlike
that of any other country where post
al savings banks are In operation;
but they knew wo had tho postof-
flees, and they assumed 'to think,
because other countries had such a
system, that it would flourish with
equal facility here.
"Tho president desires to seo tue
system Introduced here, because ho
needs tho mythical millions that,
through Its operation will bo gather
ed up from tho four corners ot the
earth, out of tho hoards of tho thrift
less, and tho foreign born, and cover
ed Into tho national treasury, in order
to relieve his administration of the
financial embarnssments that now
loom up threateningly. And to the
representatives In congress light shin
ing out of utter darkness, and point
ing tho way whereby he may, In spite
of other possible shortcomings, gaily
nsk for, and perhaps receive nt the
hands of his constituents, tho plena
ing of 'well done good and faithful
servant.' "
"Now, while I am not Inclined to
yield to anyone in my admiration for
tho president, considering that I am
a Republican, and somewhat of an
athletic myself, still in common with
Justified In our opposition to It? Un
questionably wo are; and I feel sure
that could the business Interests of
our state be brought to a full real
ization of tho menace It will be to
them, tho demand that would be
made ot our representatives in con
gress, to line up in opposition to tho
pending bill, would be so strong and
Insistent that they must give heed
to it.
"In conclusion, gentlemen, I desire
to say that our consideration of thi3
question should not terminate with
tho arguments either for or against
It, but we should examine deeply into
the fundamentals, from which arise
the so-called popular - demand for
postal savings banks, and also for
the guaranty of bank deposits."

every kind, urging that the human will
should be preserved and should be

with his Instructions in the Bible.
Overthrow of Satan's Empire.
"Satan, through false doctrines
'doctrine of devils,' has entrenched
himself In the suerstitlons and preju
dices, not only of the heathen, but also
of the civilized. ' The creeds of the
Dark Ages evidenced the fact that he
had much to do with their formulation.
His false doctrines, antagonistic to the
Bible, have been palmed off upon us
as veritable Bible truths Just us Satan
endeavored to twist and misapply the
Bible to Jesus In bis wilderness temp
tation (Mark 1, 13). . Thus Satan has
caused gross darkness to cover the
heathen and considerable darkness to
cover the civilized earth. But we are
in the morulug of the New Dispensa
tion, which Is to bring so much bless
ing to the world of mankind in the
opening of the eyes of man's under
standing, and in physical blessings and
comforts. As a result we have the
wonderful conveniences and appliances
of steum and electricity, the printing
press and the electric light, as instead
of tho tallow candle and quill pen of
the past. 'Whatsoever doth make
manifest is light;' and special light Is
due also at this time to God's conse
crated people. The illumination now
granted to the eyes of our understand
ing as Christians, through Bible study
helps, is Intended to be for the Chris
tian what the arc-light is in nature.
"Man's subserviency to Satan is an
unwilling captivity. Even those who
realize their bondage do not generally
recognize by whom they have been
enslaved. But gradually the bonds
ure breaking us we near the time of
Satan's overthrow. According to the
Bible our Lord at his Second Advent
will bind the Adversury for a thou
sand years that he may deceive man
kind no more. Meantime oil the bless
ed Influences of light and Truth and
grace will be let loose In the world
and as a result, 'the knowledge of the
glory of God shall Oil tho whole
earth. Instead of th darkness or
the night of sin and death there will
be the 'morning of Joy,' and gladness
and restitution and blesslug. 'The sun
of righteousness will arise with heal
ing in his beams.' . Of that glorious
day Saint Peter spoke, saying,. Times
of refreshing shall come from the
presence of the Lord, and he shall seud
Jesus Christ, who before was preach
ed unto you, whom the heavens must
retain until tbe Times of Restitution
of all things which God hath spoken
by the mouth of all the holy prophets
since the world began (Acts 111, 10-21).
Satan's destruction, according to the
Bible, will not be consummated until
after tho MILLENNIAL KINGDOM
OF CHRIST shall have accomplished
Its glorious work of uplifting human
ity out of sin and death conditions to
full human perfection and the Image
of God. All the unwilling nnd dis
obedient will be counted as servants
of Satan and will, with him, bo de
stroyed In the Second Death extinc
tion from which there will be no re
demption or recovery.
Great Missionary Work.
Tho missionary work of blessing
and uplifting 'all tho families of the
earth' Is appointed of God for the Mil
lennial Kingdom nnd. thank God. tlio
evidences aro that It is very near, yea,
lu a sense, already beginning. Us
blessings are Intimated by the wonder
ful progress of our day. Everything
wails uutil the predetermined number
of Missionaries shall 'have been called
and schooled and tested and found
worthy of the great and honorable
work. Tho qualillcation is that each
must bo 0 'copy .of God's dear Son'
so far ns heart Intention Is concerned.
Thou theso Missionaries will bo glori
fied like their Lord, on tho spirit plane
aud with him they will constitute the
'Kingdom or God's dear Son,' which
for a thousand years will bless tho
world and bring to pass all that the
Lord our God has spoken, nnd more
than wo could have asked or thought.
"Christian people have no need to
upbraid themselves on iho seoro that
the missionary efforts of eighteen cen
turies have accomplished comparative
ly little. They have no need to bo dis

let urns show that In the past century
of the ,';ivitost missionary endeavor

foreknew nnd Intended. God did not
purroso the conversion of tlio heathen
durin;; this a-e, but commissioned his
people to preach his Gospel to every
nation for a irilnrmt, that tho Elect Mis
sionaries for the future work might
be gathered from every, country, peo
ple and tongue. God's will has been
done. Tho Adversary temporarily nils-
led the Church Into a misunderstand
ing of her mission. Ho sought to have

order to increase tho Church far nnd

Divine arrangements. But he has not

him to prove, test, separate a'.;d mani
fest the saints the "very elect.'
A Great Time of Troubls.
"The coming of the light, the loos
ing of the fetters of ignorance and
superstition from tho minds that are
not submitted to God. the Scriptures
show us. will result lu a great time of
trouble, lu which the passions of men
but partially enlightened will do great
violence to the entire soclul fab
ric. We see the preliminary stops
already beiug takeu, and. in the light
of the Scriptures, we see the awful;
catastrophe which will result The
world Is rapidly resolving itself into'
wo mighty powers, selfishly and with
semi-enUghtenment, preparing for a
headlong collision which will mean
wreck and ruin, tribulation and an
guish, to practically the whole world.';
The Bible, In calling attention to this'
great time of trouble, warns the peo-'
pie of God, so far as possible to avoid;
both sides of the controversy, saying,
Seek meekness; seek righteousness, ;
it may be1 that ye shall J hid in the
day of the Lord's anger' (Zephanhth
H, 3). With the wreck of present In-,
stltutlons comes the end of Satan's!
regime. So terrible will be the heat of
passion and strife engendered at thati
time that the Scriptures declare that:
If it were not for the "Elect there
would be no flesh saved (Mark xtll.
20V The interposition of the Elect as
the Kingdom of God under Jesuaythe'
great King and nead of the Elect hr
the sliver lining to that dark cloud.
The moment of man's extremity will be
come the moment of God's opportunity.,
"So terrible will be that time of trou-
ble that the Scriptures symbolically!
represeut it as a whirlwind; as a flood;,
and as a fire. Some have mls-lnterpret-.
ed these Scriptures and are expecting
a literal burning of the earth, but the
Lord denominates It the flre of his Jeal
ousy,' which will devour Society. And
then ho tells us that following the fire
of trouble he "will turn to the people a
pure message that they may all call
upon the name of the Lord to serve
him with one consent' (Zephanlah 111, 9).
Satan has had much to do with cor
rupting the message originally given to
the Church by Jesus and the Apostles.
The Jarring creeds have made dis
cordant sounds which have driven
nany noble and logical hearts away.
from the Bible. .God'a assurance is
that the completion of the Church is
near; that her change to the heavenly,
glory in the First Resurrection' will
soon be accomplished and that then
the reign of SIN and DEATH will end
under the Kingdom of Jesus. Then
the bondage of the world to ignorance,
superstition, etc., will terminate; then
'all the blind eyes will be opened and
all tbe deaf ears will be unstopped' and
the Lord's pure message of Dlvme
Justice, Divine Love, Divine Wisdom
and Divine Power exerted on man'a
behalf shall lie made known to every .
creature.
"Feriow-ChrlHtlans, what an Incen
tive to become more and more loyal
and earnest aa the servants of so great
and gracious a Sovereignty that of
our Father and oir Redeemer! And
what an Incentive we have to seek
first. In preference to all earthly Inter
ests, a share with our Savior In his
Millennial Kingdom and its gracious
work of human uplift from the depths
of sin and degradation to the heights
of earthly perfection and eternal life!
Let us, .as the Apostle exhorts, May
aside every weight, and tbe sin that
does so easily lesot us, nnd let us run
with patience the race set before us'
(Hebrews xll, 1). This race Is for the
'crown of glory,' ns members of the
Elect Missionary Church and for the
glorious opportunities then to be af
forded for tho realization of the most
glorious dreams of service for tho Kin?
of kings and Lord of lords.
"We cannot suppose that Satan's
Empire is entirely satisfactory to him
self. Vr.d :)ublcd!y his original thought
was tho organization cf r. realm resem
bling that of the Al:i.fl;;by. But the
course of sin is ever downward. To
obtain control of our first parents they
were misled into steps of disobedience
sin and Ihv Adversary himself, hav
ing started upon the wrong course, can
maintain his own standing nnd king
dom only by determined opposition to
Jehovah. This Is the significance of
the name given Lir.i In the Scriptures
'Adversary.'
"Tho Scriptures set forth that nil hu
manity must, either now or some time,
como to tho polut of decision between
obedience to God nnd disobedience.
The obedient will bo guided back to
ultimate harmony with the Creator
and obtain the reward of life eterual.
On the contrary, tho disobedient, the
wilfully rebellious against God nnd his
righteous arrangement, taking tho
course of Satan, v.ill ultimately share
ls fate destruction.
"Responsibility nnd tho decision as
to Ufo eternal nnd death eternal, como
to each mr-mbcr, of Adam's rao as
soon ns ho is brought Into n dear
knowledge of the Truth. This privi
lege of coming to a knowledge of tho
Truth, the opportunity of eternal sal
vation. Is secured to nil the families
of tho earth, to Adam and every mem
ber of his race, through the great Re
deemer's sacrifice linl !nd at Calvary.
