DIAZ NOW ON

Dictator (or Thirty Years Secret
" ly Leaves Capital.
DE U BARRA TAKES THE OATH
Provisional President of Mexico Is
Sworn In and Takes Charge of Af
fairs Rascon Is New War Minister.
Business is Resumed at Mexico City.
Mexico City, May 27. Private tele-
ram received here report the ar
iival of General Diaz at Vera Cruz.
According to these advices he
boarded the . Yplrranga, a Hamhurg
Americnn boat, due to sail south to
Coatzacoas today. It will return to
Vera Cruz ard sail 'tor Europe Wed
nesday. Railroad reports received Bay the
pilot train waa stopped by lnsurrectos
below Jalapa, but arter learning It
was serving as a pilot to the Diaz
train It was permitted to proceed.
None of the three trains suffered oth
er delay.
Diaz secretly left here at 2 a. m. He
was bound for Vera Cruz to take ship
for Spain.
Francisco Leon de la Barra, the
Mexican foreign minister and former
ambassador at Washington, took the
oath of olllce as provisional president
of the republic. He will act as the
chief executive in succession to Por
flrlo Diaz until a general election can
be held.
Senor de la Barra was escorted from
the national palace to the chamber of
deputies, where the oath of olllce was
administered, by the members of the
staff of former President Diaz. The
staff officials had resigned days ago,
but had asked permission to escort
the provisional president to the scene
of his Inauguration. The new chief
executive waa accompanied by Gen
eral E. Rascon, who took the oath aa
minister of war earlier in the day.
Most of the distinguished person
ages in the capital were present, in
cluding the diplomatic corps in full
regalia, headed by the American am
bassador, Henry Lane Wilson, the
dean of the corps.
Business Is Resumed.
Owing to the fact that Mexico City
was orderly throughout the night, de
spite the magnitude of the crowd
which celebrated the change in ad
ministration, business men prepared
to resume their occupations on a 1
normal basis. I
Shutters w ere removed from the

cheering for Senor de la Barra and
General Madero, while the oath was
being administered. j
It is now regarded as certain that

Is virtually the military commander i
of the federal district, will not find it
necessary to call In the revolutionary

Assembly Suspends Minister Until Ho
. Ceases to preach False Doctrine.
Atlantic City, N. J., May 27. The
Rev. Dr. William D.Grant of Northum
berland, Pa., 1ms been found guilty by
the commission which heard the
charges against him. The commission
reported Its finding to the Presby
terian general assembly.
The commission found that Dr.
Grant "taught doctrines contrary to
the word of God in the bible and the
Presbyterian confession of faith." He
Is held to be guilty under the rules of
the Presbyterian board of discipline
and the commission recommends that
Dr. Grant be suspended from exercis
ing the functions of a minister of the
Presbyterian church until such time
as "he can convince his own presby
tery, that of Northumberland, that he
has renounced the errors he has been
found to hold and to satisfy the pres
bytery of his purpose to no longer
teach them."
A motion to adopt the report and
confirm the Judgment of the commis
sion was put to a vote In the assembly
and was carried overwhelmingly with
out debate.

PREPARING A PLACE
A Looj Engagement About to
Be Consummated.
Bridegroom and Bride Soon to
Bs Revealed In Great
Glory.
What This Denouement Implies
to the Whole World.
Boston, Mny
2Sth.-Pastor Rus
sell preached twice
here today, lie
had large and In
tellectual n u (1 I -enoes
as usual.
We rcjiort one of
his discourses from
the text, "I go to
prepare n place for
you; and I
will come again and receive you unto
myself, that where I am there ye may
be also" (John xiv, 2, 3i. The speaker
said:
Doubtless we all have in mind the
fact that we have Just passed the an
niversary of our Redeemer's ascension
to the right hand of the Father to
the highest place in nil the Universe,
uext to the Almighty Father. He as
cended up where He was before to
the spirit plane of being, with added
excellence of glory nnd honor, the re
ward of Ills fuithfulness nnd obedi
ence to the Father's will, even to the
sacrificing of His life nt Calvary. He
ascended, the Scriptures declare, from
the more humble condition of human
nature, a little lower than the angels,
to the exalted condition of the divine
nature far above angels, principali
ties and powers nnd every name that
Is named.
The work for which the Loynn left
the heavenly glory has not yet been
accomplished. He has suffered, the
Just for the unjust, giving Ills life a
Ransom-price for all; but this was
merely a means toward an end, and
that end has not yet been accomplish
ed the blessing of Adam and bis
fallen race. Thank God, however, that
the great, broad foundation has beeu
laid. Thanks be to God also that a
great preliminary work has been In
progress during more than eighteen
centuries since Ills ascension. That
preliminary work is the preparation of
the Church of Christ to follow Him
In, faithfulness and self-sacrifice to ex
altation with Him to the divine na
ture, glory, honor nnd Immortality,
which was His reward (II Peter I, 4).
A Chaste Virgin Eipoueed.
If. in times past, we have too care
lessly studied our Bibles ami confused
God's special blessing for the Church,
ns the Bride of Christ, with His subse
quent blessing for the world through
Messiah and His Bride, let us do so
no longer. Let us note that as the
Divine Plan for the salvation of the
world could not legin before the com
ing of Jesus, except in a typical sense,
neither can it begin to operate until
the complete selection of the Church
until her perfecting ns the "Bride, the
Lamb's Wife," In the First or Chief
Resurrection.
The nutitypical sacrifices which Je
sus began still continue to be offered
by Him. Those desirous of becoming
Ills Bride nnd Joint heirs with Htm In
His Kingdom are now qualifying for
that exaltation. The Invitation to
them is that, renouncing sin nnd ac
cepting the Savior, they shall "present
their bodies living sacrifices, holy and
acceptable to God" following In the
footsteps of their Redeemer.
In a certain sense this presentation
of the entire Church took place, repre
sentatively, in the Apostles and others
of the Uve hundred brethren who be
lieved at the first. They were repre
sentatives of the entire Church, nud
the acceptance of their sucrllhe nnd
their begetting of the Holy Spirit,
their espousal at Pentecost, represent
ed the acceptance, the begetting and
espousal of the entire Church from
then until now. We nre merely fol
lowing In their steps; we are merely
under-members In the same Body
"The Church of the first-borns, whose
nnrues are written In heaven" (He
brews ill, 23).
St. Paul distinctly points out that
the Chrch Is not yet the Bride of
Christ, but merely espoused. He
writes, "I have espoused you as a
chaste virgin unto one Husband, who
is Christ." The period of espousal
will not be complete until the close of
this Age, when the last member of
the Body shall have been nccepted,
and when the First or Chief Resurrec
tion (to the spirit plane) shall have
bcea accomplished the marriage or
complete union between Christ and
His Bride In the heavenly glory.
The Way and the Place.
As the Redeemer was the first to as
cend to the glorious station of the di
vine nature, fur above nngels, princi
palities ami powers, and as the Church
Is to be Ills associate in that glory, It
was necessary that He should precede
her to prepare the way. Our Lord's
own worthiness of exaltation to the
divine nature was witnessed by the
I'ntlirr In Hint He rniscd Ilhn from the
dead n quickening Spirit, to glory,
honor and Immortality.
But before the Church could, In nuy
sense of the word, be made acceptable
In the henvenly courts, It was neces
sary that th' Redeemer should "ap
pear in the presence of God for us"
(Hebrews lx, 2i. it was necessary
that He make application or impu
tation of the merit of His sacrifice
on behalf of the Church before their
sacrifices could be "holy nnd accepta
ble unto God"; nnd only by their saerl
flees and the Divine acceptance of
tliem could they be begotten of the
Holy Spirit to the new nature, the di
vine nature, which they will fully re
ceive, If faithful, in the chief resur
rection. What force we thus ho Is attached
to the Master's words, "I go to prepare
a place for you"! Unless He had thus
prepared the way, unless lie had be
come our Surety, we never could have
become acceptable in the Father's
sight, and the Redeemer's associates
on (lie spirit plane. But there is still
another sense in which the Redeemer
Is preparing for Ills Church, His fol
lowers. He lias, ns their great High
Priest, not only opened up the way t
God, but He continues to be their in
tercessor nnd to appropriate to them of
His merit to cover their continual tres
passes and short-comings, whl h are
the result, not of wilfulness, but of
weakness and heredity shortcomings
against which they strive, but by which
at times they nre overtaken sins of
omission if not of commission.
How precious to every child of God
nre the words of the Apostle, "If we
sin we have nil Advocate with the Fa- !
ther, Jesus Christ the Righteous"! Let
us. therefore, come with courage to
the Throne of heavenly grace that we
may obtain mercy nnd find grace to
help in every time of need, for we
have an High Priest who can be touch
ed with the fooling of our Infirmities,
having been tempted In nil points like
ns we of the new creation nre tempted
(I John II, 1, 2; Hebrews Iv, 15. 10).
"I Will Come Again."
There npH?nrs to be n disposition on
the part of many to deny that there
will be a second advent of the Re
deemer. They reason that what has
not occurred In more than eighteen
centuries should cense to be exacted.
They endeavor to find the fulfilment.
the nromlsed second coming of the
Savior, In the Pentecostal blessing.
But this cannot sntlsfy those who have
Implicit trust In the Lord, and who be
lieve that the Apostles were his spe
cially appointed mouthpieces, for did
not the Anostles. long after Pentecost,
tell of the second coming of the Lord,
and did not Jesus Himself In the last
hook of the Bible declare Ills com
ing nnd Ills mnrrtage to the Church,
His acceptance of her and the giving
to her a share In Ills glory ?
The erroneous thought that Jesus Is
still a nuin and that His second com
ing will be ns a mnn In glory nnd no
er, hos done much Injury to the
Church. It hns turned the nttention
of some to looking for nnd expecting
Messiah's Empire to be purely an
earthly one. It has led others to deny
the second coming and the Kingdom
entirely. The proper view of our
Lord's Ascension to the glory of the di
vine nature nnd honor next to the Fa
ther, never more to return to earthly
conditions, lifts us above the difficul
ties mentioned.
We now see that the One who will
come In power nnd great glory will be
a Spirit Being wholly Invisible to man
kind, but nevertheless the very same
Jesus, the same personality, the same
Ego, who whs once amongst men;
the same Ego or personality who pre
vlously was with the Father on the
spirit plane, nnd who humbled Him
self to man's estate In order that He
might accomplish a work of redemp
tion for Adam nnd his race. The Re
deemer says of Himself, "I nm He
who was dead, nnd behold I nm alive
forevermore." And He who was dead,
was He not the same One who pre
viously was rich nnd for our sakes
became poor? Cnn we not, therefore,
hold clearly to the distinctions of na
ture, nnd yet see through the two
changes the maintenance of the orig
inal personality?
He Will Come In Like Manner.
The nngels who appenred to the
Apostles when the Master vanished
from their sight declared that Ho
would come in like manner as He
went nwny. Did He go In a blaze of
glory witnessed by the whole world
of mankind? No! Neither will He
so come. Did He go amidst great con
vulsions and the blast of trumpets?
No! Neither will He so come. Was
Ills departure seen nnd known
throughout the world? No! Neither
will His arrival be seen and known;
ns lie declared, Ho will come ns a
thelf In the night nnd will be present,
unknown to the world. Only a few
knew of His departure nnd could tell
It to others. In like mnnner a second
coming will be known only to the few,
who will declare It to such ns have the
bearing ear.
Concerning this secret nrrlvnl of the
lord, "ns a thief In the night," the
I post I e declares, "Ye, brrthirn, nre not
In darkness, that that day should over
take you ns n thief" (I Thessalonlans
v, 4".
The day of revealmont will come,
but It will be after the Bride class,
the elect Church. Is with I he Bride
groom, a sharer of Ills glory, honor
uud Immortality. "When He shall ap
pear, ye also shall appear with Illin
In glory" (I John III. 2i. The reveal
mont will be In llamlng flre-a mani
festation of righteousness, opposition
to nil things sinful and approval of
all things In harmony with the Golden
Rule. This will mean at the first n
grent time of trouble, an overturning
nnd transformation In the world's af
fairs. As the Prophet declares, "The
rich men shall weep bitterly." Many
poor ones doubtless will also weep, for
unrighteousness Is not confined to race
or class. All evil-doers will nuffer, all
well-doers will be blessed.
As s ion as this new ruling of Me
slah's Kingdom shall come to be thor
oughly recognized and appreciated,
"the inhabitants of the world will
learn righteousness" (Isaiah sxvl, l.
Then the great blessing of Emmanuel's
Government will kiss away the world's
sorrow and tears and death, as a great
Sun of Righteousness arising. Mes
siah's Kingdom will tlood the earth
w it h the light of the knowledge of the
goodness of God and with His bless
ing, "which maketh rich and nddeth
no sorrow therewith." Ignorance, su
perstition, sin and death will flee away
before the light of that New Dispen
sation, nnd only those who resist It
wilfully will be smitten with the Sec
ond Death.
Rule With a Rod of Iron.
The great heavenly King nnd Ills
Bride will rule man's affairs with a
rod of iron, w hich will break in pieces
and destroy Institutions contrary to the
Golden Rule. This power over the na
tions belongs to the Redeemer and will
be nhared. ns promised, with Ills
Church. But first, before that mani
festation of the Kingdom in power and
glory nnd with flaming fire, will coma
the Master's parousia, or secret pres
ence, unknown to the world-known
only to the "wttehers" to the saints,
through their understanding of the
Divine 'prophecies, to which their eyes
of understanding will ln opened.
In the harvest time lie will be pres
ent to gather the wheat Into Ills gar
ner, through the change of the Chief
Resurrection, which will take place la
a moment. In the twinkling of an eye,
been use '"Hosh nnd blond cannot in
herit the Kingdom of God." During
this period of ptiriniHiu, preceding the
outward manifestation to the world,
the Heavenly Lord, Invisible to men,
will Judge amongst those who have
professed to be Ills servants determin
ing which may enter into the Kingdom
and share Its glories, nnd which hare
been unprofitable servants, who may
not share with Him In the Kingdom
glory, because they have failed to
share with Him In the sacrifice and
Ignominy of tho present time.
This Judging of the Church Is partic
ularly Indicated In two of our Lord's
parables relating to the pounds nnd th
talents given to His servants when II
took Ills departure. In Ills paronato
He will reckon with Ills servants, re
warding the faithful with a share with,
Him In Ills Kingdom, saying, "Well
done, good nnd faithful servant, thou
hast been faithful over a few things,
I will make thee ruler over many
things; enter thou Into the Joys of thy
Iiord have thou dominion over two
cities, over five cities, etc. (Matthew
zxv, 21; Luke xlx, 10-18). The garner
ing of the wheat, the chnnge of the
saints, will be the marriage or union
with their glorious Head nnd Bride
groom. Meantime, those purposing to
le of the Bride will make themselves
ready and assist each other In prepara
tion for the glorious consummation of
their most wonderful hopes.
The Thousand-Year-Judgment Day of
the World.
The Master said, "My word shall
Judge you In the Inst day." Happy has
It been for the few who have heard
the Master's Word In this present life,
and have Judged themselves thereby,
and submitted themselves to Ilia
righteous precepts! These blessed one
will share with Messiah the glories of
Ills Spiritual Empire, Invisible to men.
But during the Thousand Year-Judgment
Day of the world (II Peter lit,
7, 8) the same words "the wonderful
words of life" to those who will obey
and words of death to those who will
refuse obedience will be the stand
ards of Justice for all mankind.
This Judgment of the world will not
be merely of those living nt the tlmo
of the establishment of the Kingdom,
but will Include nil that are In their
graves (John v, 23). As nil are con
demned through one man's d i sotted I
ence, so the redemption for nil will
be accomplished through the obedlenct
of One, which will secure to each and
all nn opportunity for eternal life,
either on the spirit plane, dining this
Gosk1 Age, or on tho earthly plane to
Pnrndlse restored, during Messiah'
reign.
The Judgment of the Church la
not according te works, the perfec
tion of which, under prevailing condi
tions, would be Impossible, hence, the
Church's Judgment Is according to
faith and the obedience of faith pos
sible. But the world's Judgment will
be according to works, for the knowl
edge then will be so great that faith
will no longer be at a premium. Th
grent Mediator will accept of Imper
fect works nccordlng to the nblllty of
the people; but, ns they rise out of
degradation, more nnd more will be re
quired of them, until in the end they
will be perfected nnd absolute perfec
tion of works will be required.
Then death and the grave will h
swallowed tip In the nntltyplcnl y
hninii of annihilation "the Second
Death" and all not worthy of record
In the Book of Life will 1k destroyed
from amongst the people (Revelntlon
xx. 12-1."; Acts III. 22).
But, thank God, this Irremediable
destruction of the Second Death will
come only upon wilful evil-doers of the
class mentioned in this text often re
proved and yet stiff necked. Some of
the Church might be classed In this
category because of previous enlighten
ment, etc., enjoyed, but surely tho
world In general has not bad such re
proofs nnd such an Intelligent under
Handing of the Lord ns would mnk
fhetn properly amenable to the Second
Death. And God purposes that ever.?
iiember of Adam's race must have thl
Mio full, complete privilege and npor.
luiilty for eternal life before he can bo
icnteneed to the Second Death.
