Su't Againkt Standard Oil Attracts
Most Attention, Although It la to
Ee Argued-After Tobacco Case Cor
poration Tax Is Next.
Washington, Jan. 2. Prosecutions
by the government, designed to ac
complish 1 tie dissolution of the Stand
ard Oil and of the American Tobacco
organizations, embodying the greatest
anti trust fight of the generation, will
be taken up for the second time by
tuo supremo court of tue United
States at the beginning of its work
for the new year. Continuing its con
sideration of affairs of government,
tho court will immediately afterwards
give its attention to the constitution
ality of the corporation tax provisions
of the Payne Aldrleh tariff art.
All three cases attracted world wld
attention when first presented to the
couit about a year ago. With the ob
ject of procuring consideration by a
full bench, they were set for reargu-
nient on Jan. 3. Intervening cases
will cause a delay until probably Jan
5, when it Is believed the arguments
in tho tobacco case will begin. The
Standard Oil anil the corporat'on tax
arguments will follow. About three
days will be required for each.
Tho Standard Oil and Tobacco
cases put the Sherman antitrust law
to the most crucial test to which it
has burn subjected during the twenty
years of its existence. The corpora
tion lax rases place on trial the power
of tho federal government over cor
porations. The contention lias been
made that it the Standard Oil and
the Tobacco organizations are dis
solved the government will le forced
to license corporations in order to al

on. The corporation tax decision nny

"Fear not, for 1
hnve redeemed thee;
I hnve railed then by thy name; thou art
mine." Isaiah xllil, 1.
As usual he had a large audience
and the very closest attention. lie
said in part;
Fear is a great calamity. It is close
ly related to nil the sorrows of life,
closely linked to all the crimes of the
world! One of the blessings of true
Christianity Is tho release it gives
from fear. But alas! true Christiani
ty, true Christian faith, and the pres
ent rewards of these are not very com
mon even in Christendom. Few know
the meaning of the Master's words.
"Come unto me, all ye that labor and
arc heavy laden, nnd I will give you
rest." Few appreciate the assurance.
"If the Sail shall make you free, ye
shall be free indeed" (Matthew xl. "S;
John viil, 30).
Fear has its foundation In sin. We
may bo sure that the angels in heaven
know no fear. After Adam had dis
obeyed the IKvine command in Ilden.
he feared his Maker and hid from him.
Similarly, fear affects all of Adam's
posterity, because of the general real
ization that "all nro sinners." God
nnd his ligliloousuesn are, llgurallve
ly, li'ilit, nnd the sinner nnd his sins
are, figuratively, dttrknvxx. There Is io
compromise the darkness hateth (op
pose! hi the light, the light seatteretli
tin.' darkness. l ove and reverence go
hand in baud, but love and fear are
opposite; we cannot love that which
we fear, we do not fear that which we
love.
rear, 'Vorry, Sickness.
Hope, pride and ambition encourage
the business man and the laborer, the
king and the peasant, the housewife
unci flie maid, the leaders of the social
set and the patient mother. Never
theless, all of these have a drag-anchor
of fear, which In the stress of life
produces worry; worry produces indi
gestion, ii'd'gestion produces Insomnia
i and nervousness which lead on to
every form of disease and uiihappl
ness. To the extent, therefore, that
fear li removed, health and happiness
are encouraged and aided.
All 'iyid.uis recognize the f ct
that f.'iir U closely related to disease.
11 'lice the v i e physician always conn
sols cheerful surnainiliims for the si -k.
cheerful conversation, diversion of the
I mind, the avoidance of thought alon
worrisome lines the rest cure, etc.
It may lie asked. Why Is It that the
Master's en re Is little considered to
day? Why are so few pointed to
Christ, the Great Physician, for the
rest and pence nnd comfort nnd Joy
which he promised to his followers
eighteen centuries ago? Have Ids
words proven untrue? Are his pro
fessed followers umongst the most
anxious and troubled and ovorelwirged
and sh U ami sorrow ing and fearful of
our poor, groaning creation? if so,
what Is the explanation? We must
concede the Inference. We must admit
that the four hundred millions of pro
fessed Christians nre much more un
happy, much more fearful, much more
nervous, peevish nnd sickly than tho
atwelvo hundred millions outside of
Christendom.
TIlp Pxpmnntion of this peculiar slt-
l)(Ull)n ,3 (tmt Christendom is not
christian: that the name Christendom
Is n misnomer! Christ's Kingdom does
not prevail amongst tho civilized one
fourth of humanity. For centuries
now Christendom has deceived Itself,
and has seriously misrepresented
Christ, his teachings and his promised
Kingdom of righteousness for which
still we are praying. "Thy Kingdom
come, thy will be done on enrth." Our
standing armies, prepared to destroy
each other: and our Drendnaught na
vies, prepared to blow each other to
atoms; and our submarines and our
flying machines, our great ennnons and
torpedoes all prove the mistake of call-
ing human civilization Christ's King-
dom.
Similarly, tho worry, fear, strife,
nervousness, etc., of Christendom all
prove that the Great Teacher's anti-
I dote for fear and worry has not been
taken by the masses of Christendom
Wo hold that the Good Physician's
remedy for sin, corroding care, worry,
fear. Is Just as effective today as It
was eighteen and a half centuries ago;
we hold that the real dlllleulty Is that
his prescription has not been faith
fully followed. Wo urge that those
who now have "an ear to hear" Ids
message should accept it faithfully,
nnd that they should not nccept at the
hnnds of anybody another prescrip
tion, said to bo "Just as good." We
should ninke sure that we get the
remedy which bears the endorsement
of tho Lord's Word, and which has the
eal of "the precious blood." '
The Master's Teachlnas Perverted.
During the Dark Ages superstitious
fear was encouraged, all will concede
mm
Tli attempt was made to drive hu- j
Diaaity to God. Atrocious doetrlue !
wore promulgated In tbe name er uoa,
Christ and bis AKstles. Si. Paul de- j
nominates these "doctrines of demons"
(I Timothy iv. 1). These, primarily,
taught a Purgatory, to be mitigated
by prayers and masses. Under the
Impulse of fear, millions accepted
Christ and professed diseipleship, lu
total Ignorance of his real teachings,
and yet ua more his followers thau
when they were heathen. Later ou the
Adversary partially sidetracked the
Reformation Movement by leading
Eealous people to renounce Purgatory
as unscrlptural and to accept in its
stead for the world at large eternal
torment a still more unscrlptural
proposition a still more God-dishonoring
doctrine of demons.
Fortunately for ourselves we Prot
estants do not take our own doctrine
seriously. However much all Prot
estant Creeds assert that only bap
tized saints will reach heaven nnd,
contrariwise, that all the unsalntly
will suffer eternal torture, neverthe
less, not one In a hundred believes
this. The most saintly, the most con
scientious of them nre troubled by
their fears, tormented by their sym
pathies, perplexed to understand God's
dealings, hindered from having the
peace and joy which the Master prom
ised his followers. The less conscien
tious of them stifle conscience to their
own Injury, gradually losing faith in
the Word of God because of this error.
They thus esenpe some of the torments
of fear, but they do not nttain the
love, Joy, contentment and peace which
the Master promised his faithful ones.
Unreliable Subterfuges Harmful.
There Is only the one Divine remedy
for tills harmful fear. That remedy
is associated with tho Gospel of Christ;
hut there aro numerous subterfuges.
Some drown their fears, disappoint
ments and sorrows with alcohol or
various narcotics. Same seek to drown
them with sensuous pleasures, some
with busines activity, some with
church activity, some with "devil-may-care"
uarsa'-'on. Of late a considerable
de -ree of subterfuge success has come
along the llivs of deceit denying the
existence of fin. denying the fads of
pain ai d sorrow and death and, con
trariwise, al'.innliig that everything
is ijixnl, regardless of the untruthful
ness of this proposition.
The result of this self-deception la
deed reik'v vi from a considerable meas
ure of fear. To this extent it proves
a solace and satisfaction; but it is a
Fubte;fu;'e and not the true remedy.
As n proposition Its Influence upon the
mind, upon all the reasoning faculties.
Is Injurious. The twisting of reason
necessary to this philosophy, which
calls black white, and pain pleasure,
nnd sin riahtoousiicss. Is destructive of
sound reasoning nbliity. The habit of
perversion necessary to the calling of
l ad good and wrong right not only In
jures the mind, but. In attempting to
sustain Itself from the Scriptures, per
verts the entire Word of God. Willi
re:i-o'i perverted and the Scriptures
pervertel, the true message of the
Scriptures cannot be enjoyed. Unless
fes.r be measurably eliminate 1, the
proper faith, hope, Joy and spirit of a
round mind are Impossible.
Divine Antidote For Fear.
God's message through the Law and
the Prophets, to Israel, as Interpreted
by Jesus and lis Apostles, gives us the
true antidote for fear. It does not
deny sin, sickness, sorrow, death; it de
nies no fact, but It does hold out a
remedy for all of those, an antidote,
"the balm of Gllead." Moreover, It In
forms us that this nntldoto can be re
ceived only through the co-operutlon of
our heads nnd hearts.
It Informs us that .this healing Is ob
tainable by only n comparatively few
at this lime, hut, eventually, the Divine
blessings, world-wide, sb.ill operate to
ward nil humanity as fully as hnve the
penalties of sin. It applies now (in full
degree) only to such as have the hear
ing ear, the eye of faith and the ap
preciative, responsive heart. Others
may obtain a measure only of this con
solation. The Great Teacher gave us
tho key to this deliverance from fear,
saying, "Ye shall know the Truth iTiid
the Truth shall make you free. If the
Son shall make you free, ye shall bo
free Indeed" (John vill, 32, 30).
The first step toward having the
Truth make us free is to have tho coat
ing of Ignorance and superstition re
moved nnd this Is a dlillcult matter.
For instance, the Catholic superstition
of Purgatory and the Protestant super
stition of eternnl torment, for practical
ly all mankind, havo been so thorough
ly riveted upon their faithful that to
break their bonds and get free is a
difficult task. Only those who hunger
and thirst after tho Lord and his right
eousness ure in nny likelihood of ever
being properly freed.
Others getting free from one error
are merely steered by tho Adversary
Into another as bad or worse. God
loekcth not these at the present time;
ho will deal with them by and by un
der Messiah's glorious Kingdom, when
Satan shall be bound. Now, as the
Apostle declares, "God seeketh such to
worship him as worship him In spirit
and In truth"; "The secret of tho Lord
is with them that reverence him and
he will show them his Covenant"-he
will set them free now from tho bond
age of superstition and fear, and by
and by, In the "First Resurrection." lie
will free them from the body of cor
ruption. In other words, at the present time
all humanity may receive a blessing
of heart-consolation in proportion as
they can como to the knowledge of
Divine Truth; and each will be helped
to the knowledge of the Truth In pro
portion to lils hunger nnd thirst after
righteousness his houesty of soul.
The dishonest-hearted nre not worthy
of being act free from fear. Liberty

Xii. Ho
Mystiry of tho Gopel Age
To attain the highest blessing which
God has to offer ut the present time
certain dlilleiilt requirements must bo
compiled with. Sin must be repented
of heartily, and. so far as possible,
restitution must be made, which
means that sin must be forsaken to
the extent of ability. Faith must then
recognize the "Lamb of God which
takcth away the sin of the world"
that the sacrifice for sins was neces
sary, and that Gcd himself provided
it in the deatli of Jesus. Faith nnd
knowledge must go further and not
only see and acknowledge the death of
the Redeemer, but also thnt God rais
ed him from the dead and highly ex
alted him to spirit being again, to the
Intent thnt eventually he may accom
plish for nil mankind, the wonderful
blessings foretold In tho Lnw and the
Trophets.
Additionally, to such will be revealed
the great "Mystery" of this Gospel
Age, lasting from the death of Jesus
to the manifestation of Messiah In
power and great glory as Michael
the "God-like One" (Daniel xii. 1). The
Mystery Is that Jesus Is the Head,
Chief, Lord, over the Church which
Is his Body, and that the "Body" mem
bers will eventually be gloiilied with
the Dead on the spirit plane; nnd that
then Head and Body will constitute
the great Messiah whose spiritual
reign of n thousand years will result
in the blessing and uplifting of man
kind. Whoever shall be thus taught of God
in tho school of Christ will learn also
the necessity for having n share witU
the Master in his suffering and death.
In order to have a share with him in
bis glorious reign. These will be .
taught by the great Head that "if
they suffer with him they shall reign
with him" and that the sufferings of
this present time (If faithfully endured
by theui) will work out an exceeding
nnd abundant blessing.
The Ssntiment of Our Text.
To properly understand our text and.
indeed, to understand t lie Bible ns n
whole, it is necessary to discern that
God has foreordained two Israels the
earthly nnd the heavenly. Both are
precious, hot li nre "elect," both are to
be used of the Lord during Messiah's
Kingdom reign the one on the heav
enly plane and the other ou the earth
ly. A mistake has been made by
some in recognizing tho earthly Israel
and not recognizing the heavenly or
spiritual Israel. Otliers have made tho
mistake cf recognizing tho heavenly
or spiritual Israel and not reeognlzlii;;
the earthly Israel. "The promise of
G al h to be sure to both the seeds of
Ahrah un to that which Is according
to tho promise, tho oath the Spiritual
feed nnd also to that which Is accord
ing to the Law, the natural seed (Ro
mans Iv, 10).
The Spiritual Seed must be develop
ed first, because the blessing will pro
ceed from the Heavenly Seed to th
er.rthly seel, then fnm the earthly
seed to all nations. The blessing upon
all nations will consist of the oppor
tunity that will be offered them of be
coming members of the earthly seed
which, ultimately, as the sands of the-soa-dioro.
will Include the saved of alt
nations all found worthy of everlast
ing life, 'i have constituted thee a
father of many nations" (Rom. Iv. 17).
"Princes In All the Earth."
All who will come into this blessed
experience of relationship to God are
described in our text. "Fear not! for 1
havo redeemed thee; I hnve called
thee by thy name, thou art mine."
Tho faithful few of this Gospel Age.
who have passed through the deep wa
ters of tribulation and walked through
fiery trials, have not only come off
uninjured, but havo been blessed, yen
and will be abundantly blessed In the
rewards of tho coming Kingdom.
They have naught to fear.
Similarly, Natural Israel ns a peo
ple was specially favored from the
days of Abraham down to the rejec
tion of Messiah particularly the saint
ly few of that people whose sure re
ward will be their privilego of being
made Princes In nil the enrth by tho
great King of glory (Psalm xlv, 10).
Even during the Gospel Ago when
the nation of Israel, "Jacob," has been
obliged to pass through trying experi
ences, "waters of nllllctlon" and "fiery
trials," the Lord has not forsaken
them. He hns kept them together as
a people. He has not permitted them
to be destroyed by their enemies.
Their persistency for thirty-five cen
turies is of itself a miracle of Divlno
supervision. Without afflictions they
would havo disappeared as a distinct
people.
As the Gospel Age (for the selec
tion of Spiritual Israel) draws to a
close, the voice of God Is calling nat
ural Israel and pointing them to the
Land of Tronilso and reviving their
hearts with the messages of their
prophets.
All nro to slinro God's blessings
eventually, and then all may bo with
out fear. Now is the time for those
who know their God, to fear not.
Now, those whoso eyes of faith nnd
understanding can discern God's state
ly stoppings amongst the children of
men In tho directing of the Divine
Program may fearlessly rejoice. Now
Is tho time for these to bo of good
courage! to fear not! to overcome the
world! to be valiant for righteousness
and truth! Their blessings of tho
Lord will be in proportion to their
faithfulness and courage. There N
no other route to the true rest and
peace to which Jesus Invites. And
there never can be a better tlmo than
now to accept the Lord's offer: "Comu
unto me!'
