The gnat levelling processes men-
tloticd by the rrophet may be seen it
work everywhere In Boclety-Iu poll
ties, In lltiaiicf, lu religion. A straight
path Is certainly lielny; marked out In
the wilderness. The people ure com
inj; to see gradually what conslitutes
Justice from the I ilviuc standpoint
the path that Jehovah God will take
when ronilng to mankind to require nn
nccountliiR for the blessing of religion
and of enlightenments granted to hu
manity In this, our day. Those who
point out to mankind the straight paths
do not always wull: therein themselves.
Nevertheless, the great purpose of the
Almighty Is being accomplished In the
exposures of sin and Injustices, wheth
er made from tho Christian pulpit or
from the socialistic platform or In the
public press. Tho lHvIno edict Is.
"Make straight In the desert a high
way for your God" (Isaiah xl, 3) show
his path of righteousness; make It
known to nH the people.
We should remember, however, that
It Is one thing to know tho path of
righteousness, of Justice and of eipilty.
and another thing to walk therein.
Iet us, my dear hearers, see to It thnt
we not only recognize the Hlvine
standards of righteousness nnd that
we proclaim these to all who have the
hearing e:ir, but let us also take heed
that we practice what we preach;
thnt we bo not condemned In respect
to those principles which we allow nnd
ncknowledgiMind proclaim ns the Gold
en Hule to others. Alas for the hypo
crites who proclaim the way of the
Lord to others, yet Ignore that way in
their own dealings. Wo have every rea
son to believe that honesty Is one of the
qualities wluYh our God most highly
appreciates In his creatures; hence we
nmy bo sure thnt hypocrisy Is om
of tho most abomlnablo qualities in
his sight. Hearken to the words of the
Great Teacher, "Woe unto you, scribes
and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye
lade men with burdens grievous to be
borne, and ye yourselves touch not tin1
burdens with one of your lingers"
(Luke xl. 41 -Hi).
Let nil who have named the name
of Christ; nil who In any sense of the
word profess to bo God's people, put
far from them the hypocrisies which
appear so abominable In others, Let us
be honest. Let us practice even more
than wo ever preached. U't all who

who have named the name of Christ.
Or. as St. I'eter declares, this Inspec

lords must begin with tho house of
God (I I'eter I v. l"i. And If the In
qH-ctlon be so searching that It must

who are merely nominal Christians
nnd then the world In general! Ah
we may expect Just what the Hlhlo ad

such as never was since there was a

of this hour, dear friends, elsewhere

Hidden Thingi to D Revealed
The greatest Teacher the world hns
ror known, a J w, eighteen centuries
maklnu straight before our feet the
piithwny of our God, but let us eon-
form our words nnd deeds and tin rghls
thereto. The general result of I he
uncovering of the hidden thing: ul
darkness, an I the bringing of tliem
to light, nml tho proclamation of the
straight way of the Iord, will have a
great effect, and that effect Is declared
by tho rrophet. It will mean n Revo
lution In symbolical language, an
earthquake. Note the plcturo given;
Ivory valley shall be exalted, and
every mountain and hill shall be made
low; nnd the crooked shall be made
straight, nnd the rough places smooth."
Not In one Instant w 111 all this mlghty
trnusformntlou of society bo accom
plished. Not nt once will all the de
graded members of the human family
be brought to the general standard or
Vol. Not at once will the mountains
and hills (the kingdoms and prince
dolus of the world) be brought down
to the common level. Not at once will
thus n general equalization of s H-lety
be effected. Hut it trill hr vffivhd
"The mouth of the Lord hath spoken
It."
"The levelling process already Is be
gun. In Germany, for Instance, one
fourth of the Reichstag Is composed
of Socialists, no! withstanding the fact
that the wenllhy have several votes
to the poor man s one. Already we
see the great mountain (or nation) of
Russia yielding to the demands of the
people nnd granting them n im-nsuro
of civil rights. There we see n practl
cnl Illustration of the lifting up of the
valleys and the bringing low of the
mountains. In Great Hrltnln w see
another wonderful Illustration of this

"The seventh tremp Is sounding, and our

He will elfl out tlie hearts of men before

O! ! HWlft. my soul, to wclro.ne him; be
jubilant, my feet
Our King Is marching on."
The exposure of the frailties of poor
humanity-of the shams of society and
of religion and of business and poli
ties, all are constituting a great black
background, against which the glories
of the Lord are being revealed In strik
ing contrast", ns th. critics of the world
mercilessly hew to the line mid lay
I: .'.re the cankers In polities and pollu
tions of our s.'nlal system. The eli'ci t
of this primarily will bo the arousin;.'
of the masses against the classes of
privilege. Their human Idols mid
Ideals will crumble. Their confidence
in men will melt. They will give vent
to what they w III esteem to be a right
eous "Indignation. And so doing they
w 111 forget that the masses are equally
as unrighteous, unjust, as the more fa
vored classes, lu proportion to their op
portunities. Wherein they Judge oth
ers they should also condemn them
selves, and the result should be that
mercy which the Lord enjoins.
Only those who forgive others their
trespasses who thus manifest a spirit
of love and sympathy need expect t
have mercy, consideration, shown
them by the new King. He will sure
ly punish Injustice and unrighteous
ness of word and deed and thought la
the poor ns In the rich, in the Ignorant
us In tho learned, In the outwardly
religious as In tho outwardly profane.
The message of the hour to Christian.
Jew nnd Gentile Is what It was eight
een centuries ago, "Repent ye, for the
Kingdom of heaven Is at hand." Re
pent and reform respecting public In
justices, no matter of how long stand
ing, no matter by whom practised and
approved. Repent of and reform from
and disown the rank errors to be
found In so many Church creeds, dis
honoring to our Creator. Let us be
honest lu our professions of faith. Re
pent as respects wrong practises
which have crept Into our Churches.
quite out of harmony with the teach
ings of Jesus and the Apostles.
Let us return to the simplicity of
the early Church. Let us repent of
the God-dishonoring statements we
have put forth In the name of God
and religion and the Rible, by which
we palmed off bad tidings of great
misery, ns Instead of the true Gospel
of Good Tidings of Great Joy which
shall be unto nil people. Let us re
pent of and abandon tho falsehoods
nnd misrepresentations so common In
business life the subserviency of the
Truth to money. Let us repent of and
put away the dishonesties of tho Stink
Kxchauge, through which the weak
and Ignorant llnauelal lambs are de
ceived and Impoverished. Let us re
pent of the Iniquities which abound in
nearly every home, even those where
Christ Is claimed to be the Head In
justices of husbands toward wives nnd
of wives toward husbands, tho strong
minded toward the weaker-minded
falling to observe the Golden Rule.
Let us repent of the la lust Ices prac
tised by parents n;ion children, In 'vio
lation of the same Gulden Rule. Let
us repent' of the dishonor and disobe
dience to parents practised by many
children. Let us repent of the selllsh
ambitions of our uvn hearts and let
us pray earnestly to the Lord, "Create
within me a clean heart. () Lord, and
renew a right spirit within me;"
"Cleanse thou me from secret fanlts;
keep back thy servant also from pre
sumptuous sins" (Psalm 11. 10; xlx, 12,
13).
, The Time I at Hand.
True, theso and similar exhortations
havo boon made by the Lord's peoplo
from time Immemorial. And yet the
present proclamation is different from
nil others In that It proclaims. "The
time Is nt hand;" "Tho Kingdom of
Heaven Is at hand!" Not an earthly
kingdom with an earthly king; not a
papal kingdom exhorting the world to
righteousness In the name of the Lord!
Not a Protestant ecclesiastical empire
exhorting to godliness! Rut the real
Kingdom of God's dear Son so long
promised, so long prayed for. is at
