"WHERE ART THOU, ADAM?"
Pastor Russell's Address at Bible Stu
dents Convention Lesson of Adam's
Disobedience Erected a Barrier Be
tween the Creator and Hia Creatures.
Mankind Pursued by God's Grace.
St John. N. B.,
August 20.-Pastor
Russell of Brook
lyn delivered two
addresses here to-
U -JgrJ day under the aus-
6v ft plT f J!.1?. UT'
national uioie stu
dents Association.
One of these was
more particularly
for the public, the
other, which we
report, was more
for Bible Students.
The I'astor took
for his text God's message to Adam,
after the latter had become a transgros
nor in Eden, when he hid from his
Maker: "Where Art Thou, AdamT'
(Genesis 111, 0). The speaker said in
purt:
"Be sure your sin will find you out."
Adam learned this lesson early in his
career. Highly favored by his Maker,
crowned with the glory and honor of
human perfection and the lordship of
earth, Adam had the offer of everlast
ing life, under Kdenic conditions. But
while condemning his disobedience we
cannot help sympathizing with him
when we realize that the act of dis
loyalty which brought the Divine sen
tence upon Adam. and. by heredity,
upon all of his race, was caused by
love for his wife.
The unvarnished narrative Is that
Mother Eve thirsted for knowledge,
and was not content to await the Al
mighty's time for giving them knowl
edge. She hearkened to the Serpent's
plea that the Almighty was seeking
to keep herself and her husband in
Ignorance by forbidding them to par
take of the fruit of the tree of knowl
edge. She had not come to know the
benevolence of her Maker, and that no
good thing would He withhold from
His obedient creatures. She had not
yet learned that the fruit of that tree
was forbidden for a time only, and
that the premature eating of it could
bring no blessing, but Divine disfavor.
The Apostle shows this when he de
clares that Mother Eve was deceived;
but with equal posltlveness he de
clares that Father Adam was not,
himself, deceived; that he partook of
the fruit knowingly, Intentionally, wil
fully, and with a full realization of
the disobedient act which brought
upon him death "The wages of sin is
iWuitli-" Ttwin aim It mirnlv die" Mfo-
uians t1, 23; Genesis 11, 17).
But while Adam's act was one of
chivalry was really suicide because
of love for his wife, who had trans
gressednevertheless, it was an act
of disobedience. He should have had
loyalty to his Creator first, above Ids
loyalty to his wife. Indeed, we have
reason to believe that Mother Eve's
transgression might have been can
celled In some manner, since it was
committed under deception. Father
Adam's course should have been to
remain loyal to God at all hazards,
and to have trusted to Divine love
and wisdom In respect to the results.
Everywhere the Scriptures lay stress
upon Adam's disobedience, which was
a wilful sin against light and knowl
edge. The sinners hid themselves In the
Garden. The Inference is that, pre
viously,' they had enjoyed fellowship
nd communion with their Creator,
but as soon as they sinned they real
ized their iinworthinesH of Divine fel
lowship sin turned them away from
God. Instead of the happiness of Ills
fftlliifctilt, ttinv h-wl riiannntpnt nml
evil forebodings of estrangement. They
had lost their God. and. by virtue of
their very nature, they would. In conse
quence, be measurably unhappy one
of the principal elements of their na
ture, thenceforth, was hunger and
thirst for God, which was not grati
fied. A barrier had come between the
Creator and Ills creatures.
Estranged From Birth.
The estrangement which our first
parents experienced, dating from the
time of their sin. Is one which all
fnnnklnd him Inherited from them. T'.ie
Prophet David speaks of this, saying
that the world Is estranged from birth:
and, speaking of himself, declares. "1
was shapen In Iniquity, In sin did my
mother conceive ine" (I'salm II, ."
God Is not to be charged with the
responsibility of this estrangement.
It comes to all as the result or out
working of sin. All are sinners and
all feel themselves unworthy of the
fellowship of their Creator, and real
ize themselves undeserving of His
blessing. The four which drove our
first parents to hide has since then
driven many sllll further from God
us they have delved yet more deeply
into sin, not only because of heredity,
but also through taking a perverse
course themselves. The fear has In
creased, rml today one of the most
terrible maladies on earth Is fear
dread. It Is not surprising that we
find the heathen, thousands of mill
Ions, fearing, dreading, not with tint
fear which Is the begin alng of wisdom.

and which leads back ro God. bnt with
that fear nr terror which leads them
to think of Him as a great Demon,
who has provided for Cielr eternal
torture.
The same principle operates In the
minds of people born in civilized lands.
There Is a fear, a dread respecting the
future, a dread which takes hold also
npon things of the present life. This
fear toward God. the Scriptures de
clare, is wrong, saying, "Their fear
toward Ma is taught by the precepts
of men." (Isa. 29.13.1 Those precepts
of meu are represented in our various
creeds, all of which claim to be the
Word of the Lord, but all of which are
the product of fearful, human niiuds.
God's Word does nut uphold a single
creed of Christendom, nor does a sin
gle creed of Christendom uphold God's
Word. They all contain certain ele
ments of Truth, around, which great
masses of error have gathered. How
ever,' If only such as conscientiously
believe every feature of their creeds
should remain with them, and if oil
others were to step out, honestly and
fearlessly, the creeds would be found
to have very few worshipers. They
are fetishes of idol worship, surely dis
pleasing to the Lord. Let every one
oppose this fear which has done so
much to discredit God and His Word
and so much to turn the hearts and
minds of the best people In tlu world
away from God and the Bible.
"Where Art Thou, Sinner?"
While our Irst parents hid from God,
and all of our race have the same dis
position because of fear, God. never
theless, has not hidden from his crea
tures. As He called after Adam, say
ing. "Where art thou?" and brought
Adam forth from his hiding place, so
in due time all of Adam's children will
be pursued by His grace and mercy
until nil shall come to know of the lovo
of God which passeth all human un
derstanding. We are not informed thnt our first
parents afterward hearkened to God
and repented of their disobedience.
We merely know that they could not
retrace their steps. The sentence of
death upon them was enforced. They
were driven out of Eden away from
the life-sustaining fruits. The Divine
sentence against them was, "Dying,
thou shalt die." Gradually the dying
process operated against the perfect
man until, after nine hundred and
thirty years of struggling, he suc
cumbedhe was dead. The Divine
sentence against our first parents de
scended to their posterity. As God
said to Mother Eve, "I will greatly
multiply thy sorrow and thy concep
tion," so has it been with all of her
daughters.
And God said to Adam. "In the
sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread
until thou return unto the ground from
whence thou wnst taken." So Adam's
sous also have contended with the
thorns and thistles, and. in sweat of
face, v have, i labored for sustenance,
gradually succumbing to the cares of
human life dust to dust returning.
But as God called after the sinner In
Eden, so lie has called after the sin
ner since, but remarkably few have
had the hearing ear.
Amongst those mentioned In the
Bible who heard the voice of God and
obtained reconciliation, we remember
Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob
and all the prophets, the Apostles,
etc. But the masses of mankind have
not at any time been ready to hearken
to God's voice. Fear has driven them
further and further away from the
Only Name. The question is a proper
one here. How long will God call aft
er the sinner? How long will the sin
ner continue to be fearful of his Crea
tor, and continue to go further from
Him? And is God calling as loudly as
Divine Justice, Wisdom. Love and
Tower can call? If not, why not?
Why Not Call Mora Loudly?
God's call was greatly increased in
the days of our Savior and since.
Men have heard of God's love and
mercy and ills Invitation to become
reconciled to Him, but many still be
lieve in the teachings of the Dark
Ages, regarding eternal torment, which
tends to drive them to fear and away
from God. The Apostle declares what
we, as Bible students, more and more
appreciate, namely, that It Is the Love
of God that constrains, that makes us
happy, that brings ."the peace of Goil
which passeth all understanding." On
H'e contrary, as St. Paul declares, the
doctrines of devils bring fear, torment
lng dread, and cause men to hide
from God. Many, unquestionably. In
the past have attended church serv
ices, not because of love for God, not
because of any truly worshipful spirit,
but from fear, and In hope thnt by
thus rendering some outward homage
to the Name Divine they might escape
torture In the future.
We are not for a moment to think
of such people as hearing the Divine
Voice. They are serving as are the
heathen, who have never heard of the
true God, in any sense of the word.
We may be inclined to wonder that
ottr Almighty Creator has apparently
pnruotl the hiKii.in family with His
voice of love and mercy and Invitation
to reconciliation for so long, in so
peculiar a manner effecting such u
small proportion of the thousands of
millions of our nee. Ouee this great
ly perplexeJ us all; noir, through our
study of the Scriptures, we are learn
ing, dear Bible Students, why things
are thus. We are learning that God is
now culling merely a special class
"the elect"-those who love righteous
ness and hate Inlqtilty-those who hun
ger and th;rt after rL'hteou-n'-ss and
fellowship Divine. To these God Is now
holding out a spechl Invitation. His
message Is, ' I ;' !it together My saints
ntitt .Vo-tii-e who have made a
covenant v Itli Me by s.icrlllcc."
Why Mot a Greater Work?
Some may Inquire. Why does not
God do a greater work? Whv doe
He allow clouds and darkness to oh
souie His Character, and Word, and
Flan? Why does llo allow darkness
to cover the earth and gross darkness
the heathen? Why din's He ornit sin
to be so prevalent that whosoever will
live godly shall suffer persecution.,
shall find the way of righteousness a
narrow oue. a ditlieult one? Why does
God not restrain the powers of Satan,
and spread the light of the knowledge
of His glory throughout the whole
earth? Why does He seem to leave
the entire matter In our poor, bun
gling, Imperfect hands?
Why does He seem thus Indifferent
to the heathen thousands of millions
and to the masses of Christendom?
Ah! there is a reason, which saintly
ones are gradually comlug to see, nud
which, more and more, is causing
them to rejoice, through faith. We
now see plainly stated In God's Word
that the class now being selected Is
called for a purfmae a glorious pur
posein which Adam and all of his
race shall eveutually have a blessing.
We see that Divine grace is now se
lecting the Church, and that while few
have been called as compared with
the masses of, mankind, many more
are called than will eventually be
chosen. The "elect" class Is to be
made associates with Jesus In His
Messianic Kingdom, "heirs of God,
Joint-heirs with Jesivv '"hrlst."
So, as soon ns tluVjII number of
"elect" shall have been found and
shall have been tested and found
worthy, the present method of Divine
operation will change completely. No
longer will God call after the sinner,
"Where art thou?" No longer will
preaching be t he Divine method of
pursuing sinners. On the contrary,
everything pertaining to human inter
cuts will, for a thousand years, be
turned over to Messiah's Kingdom.
"He shall relgu from sea to sea, and
from the river to the ends of the
earth." Ills Kingdom will exercise
force. "The Law shall go forth from
Mt. Zion, and the Word of the Lord."
respecting that Law, "from Jerusa
lem;" "and It shall come to pass that
the soul who will not obey that great
Prophet, Priest, King, Instructor, will
be destroyed from amongst the ieo
ple" (Acts 111, 19-23).
All the Blind Eyes Shall Be Opened.
To what extent the various beliefs
of the heathen and the creeds of
Christendom are the work of demons,
Satan and bis hosts, no human being
enn tell. We may merely surmise, on
the strength of the Apostle's words,
that we wrestle Dot with flesh and
blood merely, but with invisible "prin
cipalities and powers, wicked spirits
in high places." We may Judge this
also from the Intimation that Satan
has been deceiving the whole world.
We remember the Apostle's declara
tion respecting the "doctrines of de
mons" (Epheslans vl. 11. 12, It. V.;
I Timothy iv, 1).
When the True Light shall shine,
when the I'lliv e of Light, the King of
glory, shall take to Himself Ills grent
power and reign, and ti e Prince of
darkness shall be bound, tu.'ii the light
of the knowledge of the glo.y of God
shall fill the whole earth then the
many misrepresentations of the Divine
character and Divine Plan will vunlsh;
the blind eyes shall bo opened, the
deaf ears shall be unstopped, nnd the
knowledge of God's will and of Ills
gracious Plan of Salvation will be
fully made known to every creature.
As we have already seen, these bless
ings will begin ut the time when the
Elect Church shall be completed. The
blessings of the Messianic Kingdom,
according to the Bible, will come first
to the Jews. Abraham, Isaac aud
Jacob nnd all the Prophets will be
the earthly Representatives of the In
visible Messiah. These will be the
Princes in all the earth (Psa. xlv, 10).
The Judgments of the Lord Soon.
Soon the race will be started up the
Highway of Holiness, encouraged by
rewards of health and strength and
uplifting blessings, and stimulated by
the stripes and punishments which
will be visited upon evil doers In that
time. Thus "The Judgments of the
Lord will be abroad In the earth," re
warding righteousness and promptly
punishing every evil deed and word
and thought. The result Is clearly
stated in the Scriptures "The inhabi
tants of the world will learn righteous
ness" (Isaiah xxvl, 0).
Nevertheless, we are not to forget
the explicit teaching of God's Word to
the effect that at the conclusion of
Messiah's reign, when sin and death
shall have been fully subjected, nnd
when nil shall have been lifted up to
perfection except the wilful sinners
who will be destroyed In the Second
Death even then God will not per
mit the perfect ones of that time
to enter upon eternal conditions until
first they shall have been subjected to
severe trial nnd testing. Sutan shall
be loosed from his prison-house "for
a little season." for this very purpose
of testing the perfected world. All
then living, perfect In mind nnd body,
should be loyal to God to the very
core should be able to stand any tent
of loyalty. Such as yield to sin nnd
become disobedient to God will be
counted unworthy of eternal life, and
will ho destroyed In the Second Death,
from which there will be no rnorrry.
St. Peter tells us of such that they
will dio like natural, brute beasts.
In conclusion. Pastor Kussell urged
upon his hearers that such of them as
have become Christians Indeed by en
tire consecration to God nnd endeavor
to do His will -such as are seeking
Jolnt-heirshlp with Christ lu Ills King
dom of glory. I i i n 1 1 and Immortality
should "lay aside every weight and
every besetting sin, and run with pa
tience the race set before thorn" In the
Gospel. Thus they will make their
"calling and election sure" and gain
n abundant entrance Into the ever
lasting Kingdom which Is to bless the
world (2 Peter III, 13).

advocates; provision was made for an
enlarged house of representatives, and
a few other measures of minor Im
portance were passed.
A Democratic hoirSo, the first since
18115, seized on this session as a ve
hicle to convey to the country the
views of Democrats on tariff revision,

SAVAGE SPORT. '
iltafjj'ng Game of the Bontoc Igorrotei
a Unique Contest
Every nation uas its own Idea of

cipally of head hunting, a grisly and
bloody recreation whit u the American
occupation discouraged. Hut not all
t ne pastimes of the Igorrotes are as
horrible as this. One rather amusing
game of which they are fond Is thus
described by Dean C Worcester in the
National Geographic MaKH.uie:
A constabulary otlicer rolls us that
if we want to see u unique contest we
must ask for the slnppti'K game of the
Boutoc Igorrotes. We want to see all

A wooden bench is brought out. aud
two lithe and muscular young men
step forward. One of them squats on
the bench, grasping bis right thigh lu
bis hands eo as to tighten the muscles
as much as possible.
The other stands beside hi in and
stretches out his right arm. llo
throws his arm back and then sweeps
It forward in a full round arm swing.
The blow falls ou thin air. close to the
tlghteued thigh muscles of bis oppo
nent. He now swings his arm bnck again,
bis whole body turning with It, rises
on the toes of his left foot aud puts
every ounce of strength which he os
Besses Into a blow delivered with the
fiat of his baud upon the ricld thigh
of his opponent. Knots of muscle
spring out on his arm. back nnd legs
as be strikes and the blow cracks like
a revolver shot.
The recipient endeavors, sometimes
with poor success, to preserve an ex
pression of contemptuous Indifference.
The Judges examine his thigh. If the
blow has been hard enough blood will
show just beneath the skin and he
will not have the stlsfactlou of taking
a whack at his opponent, but if this
result has not been achieved the other
must take his seat on the bench and
submit to be smitten.
The contest continues until one suc
ceeds in producing the bloody mark
ou the other.
