WAGNER i5 RELEASED
in
ON A BONO OF SiQOO
BaMtr Charged With Forgery Is
Gi.3n Old Job Sack nothing
Known of His Past.
Hnry Wagner, the baker, who
is pharged pa..s:iif? a forced
check for .) aKinsl the H:loy
bar, p.ppt'Hivii before Judge Travis
in district ccui t luday. His bond
was fixed at $300, C. L. Herger
and Adolph Giese going on the
bond.
While he is out on bond he will
be given his old job back by his
former employer, G. L. Herger.
Herger and fiiese believe that
Wagner is not a bad man and
would not have given a worthless
check had he not been drunk. In
soing on his bond they are giving
him the benefit of the doubt, as
nothing is known of his past
record.
He iiad said that he had a father
who was a baker in Seattle, but
inquiry there failed, to confirm
this statement. His friends here
believe that a proof that Wagner
did not know what he was doing
when he gave the cheek is the fact
that he sent a telegram from St.
Joseph asking his former em
ployer, Mr. Herger, to give him
his job back, and thereby reveal
ing to the authorities where he
was. Sheriff Qninton believes,
however, that Wagner was drunk
er when he sent the telegram than
when he passed the check.
Wagner has promised Mr. Her
srer that he will conduct himself
m the future so that he (Herger)
will not regret having aided him.
Mr. ami Mrs. Miles doyle, who

Amongst those earnest students are
many who at one time were, intldels.
They profess greater faith than ever
lu the lilhle as the resul of reading
raster Uussell's books, to which mini v
of them were led through his sermons.
Castor Russell was the principal
speaker at the Convention today. He
arrived during the week, and is being
entertained some distance from the
Turk, at the Weber mansion. Hun
dreds visit him every evening. Pastor
Kussell sskt. twice today In the large
Auditorium. He delivered one of bis
discourses from the text, "In the last
days the Moun' tln of the Lord's House
shall be established in tlie top of the
mountains. and all people
shall flow unto It" (Isaiah 11, 2). He
said in pert:
Our tett tells of great events In the
"lust days." it would be a mistake,
however, to suppose that ttiese words
Imply the end of time or the end of the
world. In the ordinary sense. The
Dible declares that "the earth abldeih
forever." and It tells of the wonderful
blessings of Restitution, when the
Lord's footstool shall blossom as the
rose ru rail Ise restored. All this is to
come In the "last days."
The Jews understood that the seven
days of the week, six of labor and the
seventh of rest, were typical of seven
ri eater days of a thousand years each.
In harmony with this thought, some
of them tell us that we are living In
the Friday night of the world's history
-which mentis that the great Sabbath
of Ue;it Is about to begin--the thousand
years of Messiah's reign (the Jewish
day beginning In the evening).
The Nee- Testament writers seem to
have hud the same thought. Thus our
Lord declared, "My Word shall Judge
you in l he Last Day." Similarly, Mar
tha declared her faith In the resurrec
tion of her brother, saying. "I Know
that he shall rise ngiiln in the renrree
tioti, at the Last Iny"-the Millennia;
Day, the Day of Chrlst-tbe. great Day
v hi "h will witness the overthrow of
sin ami death and the uplifting of hu
manity, nf that great Day we rend.
"In His Day shall the righteous (lour
Ish, aud evil-doers shall be cut off."
This Seventh Dvy Is freipienMy spo
ken of as "th'it Day." as indicating the
time when Divine power wiil no longer
permit the reign nf sin amongst men,
but Messiah's Kingdom will actively
Intervene. The overthrow of Sntau,
in and all unrighteousness will then
'.aUe place. It Is during this Day lh.it
Messiah will put down all tilings op
; .isod to rlghteoiisnes": "The Inst en
"iuy that shrill be destroyed Is de-ith."
Throughout that glorious Day the
resurrection process will be In opera
tion; mankind will be rlsln;: out of Its
neanness, sin, sickness nnd death,
back to nil that wns lost In Kdeti and
redeemed by way of the Cross. In tho
(ml of these days, or "after tlmr ihnjn,''
of the relgu of sin, Gixl promises to
make a New Covenant with the House
of Israel and with the House of Judah.

nnd the blessing will (low from them

will be nflrr these days also that "God
will pour out His Spirit upon air flesh."
as says the Prophet Joel (Joel II, "N. .
Our lext Is to be considered from
lids Hlaiidpolnt. In the end of these
days. In the promised Day of Mes
siah, the Mountain of the Lord's
louse shall be established, fixed. Il
the veiy top of the mountains above
all other kingdoms. This is In full
accord vltti the entire tenor of the
Scriptures. A mountain symbolizes a
kingdom; and ns the Prophet declare.
God's Kingdom will be the highest
Mountain; it will be over the top of
all other kingdoms. It will be es
tabllshcd or fired permanently above
ill others.
Messiah, the great King, with nis

"The knowledge of the i;lory of the

"None shall need say to hl.s neighbor,
'Kn.iw the Lord.' for all shall kuow
Him."
Gravitation Reversed
The present tendency Is to j;ravitnte
downward, but titir test tells of a re
vefsnl of tMs- order. All tuitions sluill
! then tlow or gravitate upward -toward
! the righteous Kingdom of Messiah:
M'tny people shall sav. 'Let us go
up.'" The Kingdom, In Its original
establishment, will be Israelltlsh
Abraham. Isaac and Jacob and all the
Prophets will be made Princes In all
the earth (Psalm xlv. Pi).
The Jews, naturally, will rally to
their standard and begin to recognize
the fullilment of the prophecies of old.
Other nationalities will begin slowly
to realize the Import of the great, New
Jewish Dispensation. Their Ideas and
Ideals will be antagonistic for a time.
Gradually they will Bee the Ucntltu
tlon blessing coming to Israel, lu har
mony with the Divine arrangements
of the Kingdom. Then, as our context
declares, "Mauy people will say.
'Come, let us go up to the Mountain
of the Lord, to the House of the God
of Jacob; He will teach us a well as
the Jews) Ills ways and we (as well
as they will learn to walk In Ills
paths.' "
Roth Spiritual and Natural Israel
are In the picture. ML Zlon Is the
higher, the Spiritual Jerusalem; the
lower, the earthly. The Law shall go
forth from Mt. Zlon Spiritual Zlon,
the Messiah-Head nnd Rody-Rrlile-groom
and Rrlde) while the Word of
the Lord the directing aud Instruct
ing will go forth from Jerusalem the
Patrlnrctuil Princes, who will repre
sent the Kingdom.
Judging Among the Gentiles
The context tells us that the new
King, Messiah, will Judge amongst the
natlons-amongst all the people.. It
will be a getiernl Judgment first, an
Individual one subseuent1y. The na
tional Judgments will mean calamities
upon the nations. The demonstra
tions of the great dreadnaughts and
great armies will prove that they are
not to be the peacemakers of earth.
On the contrary, those trusting In these
devices will suffer most severely. All
most learn the lesson that Messiah's
Kingdom comes not by human might
nor power, but is the Lord's Institu
tion, iu i,i:t own appointed time.
The lesson will be so thoroughly
learned In that Day of Trouble that
war will forever cense. The Prophet
David tells us that the mighty army of
the Lord, through Messiah's Kingdom,
will work havoc with present Institu
tions. Then "He will make wars to
cease unto the ends of the enrth." Our
context tells us that thereafter "They
shall beat their swords Into plow
shares and their spears Into pruning
hooks; nation shall not lift up sword
against nation, neither shall they le.nn
war any more." Kven Roys" Riigades,
etc., ther'afi'T will be at a discount.
Human energy nnd activity will find
better employment In conquering self,
sin-sickness nnd death.
Hiding In the Rocks
The description here given by the
Prophet Isaiah of the Day with which
this Gospel Age will end. the great.
Day when Messiah's Kingdom begins,
agrees very closely with a description
of the same given lu the book of Reve
lation. Isaiah tells us that Idolatiy to
gold and silver shall lie brought to au
end, and the great Iroeble of th.it Day
will cause many to bile themselves In
the rocks, for fear nf the Lord and for
the glory nf Ills Majesty (Isaiah II,
10, 1. "The lofty looks of man
shall be humbled, and their haughti
ness shall lie bowed down and the
Lord alone shall be exalted In thnt
Day" (vs. Oil).
Tho Idols lie shall utterly abolish,
and those who worship them "shall go
info the rocks and Into the caves of
the earth, for fear of the Lord and
for the glory of ITU Majesty, when
He ariselh to shake terribly (he
enrth" (vs. 18 21).
The same picture 1 set before us lu
Revelation vl. 1.1-17. Here tho great
ones of earth are represented as call
.ig upon the mountains to fall on
them and to hide them from the pres
ence of the Lord. The thought Is to
fall oirr mi, bide us, protect us. The
Prophet Mulachl asks, "Who shall
abide In the great Day of the Lord?"
"Who ithall lie able to stand?"
Let us coiistru t a picture before
our minds. Let us suppose the vast
ccans, constituting three-fourth of
Hie enrth' surface, to represent the
masses of mankind unsettled, unat
tached, without property, with little
hope or prospect, with Illimitable
longings, but no power fo satisfy
them "wit hunt God and without hope
lu Ihe world." Let us consider the
land Lehlnd and before us to repre
sent Hoclety, fixed, established, desir
ous of peace, having something whlcb
It doe not wish to lose, which It does
not wish the "sen" class to wash
away.

social Institutions, lodges, flnaueiai
lustltutioiis, capitalists, coiubiualious,
uatlonal treaties, etc., will all fail la
that great lay of trial and judging
aud testing; the shaking and over
throw of every human Institution Is lu
full juvonl with the Divine require
ments of Justice, Uighti'oiisness.
Who Shall Then Stand?
My dear hearers, where la your
treasure? Where Is your security?
! This long foretold Day of the Lord Is
i nlKh. The great time of Trouble 1m-
: I'euils, a time "such as was not aiuco
thei'o was a nation" (Daniel xil, ll.
If our treasures are upon the earth
aud our confidence rests in human or
ganizations, the time Is near when we
may be crawling Into these holes, fbeso
social nnd (lnancial protective arrange
ments, calling upon tbenio cover us,
protect us, but there will be no pro
tection iMisslble. The Apostle declare
respecting that Day that everything
that can be shaken will be shakeu
everything that Is not In full alignment
with the Divine standards will go
down. In the language of the Scrip
ture, we should set our affection. oo
thing above, not on earthly things.
The Master counsel further, "Lay up
for yourselves treasure In heaven,
where neither moth nor rust doth cor
rupt, nnd where thieve do not break
through and steal."
If wo have been careless In this tnat
ter In the past. It Is high time for us
to Invest what little we have of time.
Influence, talent and money in the
service of tho King of kings In laying
up treasure In heaven, In promoting
the interest of the groat Kingdom
wherein we trust, and of whlcb we
hope HMiu to be members, sharers with
our dear Redeemer.
We are not counseling foolishness
the throwing away of money, of time
and Influence. On the contrary, we
counsel the spirit of a sound mind,
that every hour, every talent, every
penny lie used, not a our own, but 89
the Lord's; not according to our selfish,
desires, but according to the Divine
will, so far as we are able to under
stand It; thnt we may glorify God la
our bodies and spirits which are Ills.
Every talent we jsissess 1 that much
of our stewardship, of which we must
shortly give account. The Lord's serv
ants, the consecrated, Pplrlt-Regotteu,
will he called to account before that
great Day of trouble upon tho world.
Jesu said, "Watch ye, that ye may be
accounted worthy to escape all those
things coming upon the earth, and to
stand before the Son of Man." Our
watching Is In respect to our talent,
our faithfulness In their use.
In one of Ills parables the Lord tells
us that on Ills return to establish Ills
Kingdom, before beginning to deal
with the world at all. He will deal
with Ills servants. The Inquiry will
be. How have we used the pounds and
talents given to it by our Mnster?
All those who use their opportunities
faithfully will be accounted worthy of
a share In the Kingdom, as Illustrated
In the parable. "Enter ye Into the Joys
of your Lord:" "You have been faith
ful over a few things. I will mako
you ruler over many things;" "nave
dominion over (wo cities," "live cities,"
etc. - .... .i.Jtng-
There will, Indeed, be some of Ood's
people who will pas through the trou
ble with the world. Those who are
too fenrfnl of the weight of tho cross
will Iniry their talent In the earfh.
They will fall to have their portion
with the Lord and Ills saintly few In
the Kingdom and. Instead, will have
their portion with the hypocrite. In
the great trouble of that Day.
The Catastrophe Cannot Be Averted
It 1 Impossible for us. or for any
one, to avert the great catastrophe
which Is surely bearing down upon
tho world. The Lord's people are to
hnve nothing whatever to do with
bringing about the great catastrophe,
any more than had the Prophets,
whose words we are using. It Is for
ns to make our own "calling and elec
tion sure," and a fae a possible to
send on; the Divine Message In no
uncertain tone to all of God's people,
that each and all may be found faith
ful In the use of their pounds and tal
entsretrieving each possible loss of
opportunities, or, a the Apostle says,
"Redeeming the time, because the days
are evil" and unfavorable.
Our day witnesses the world gone
pleasure-mud "Lovers of pleasure
more than lovers of God." The spirit
nf the world surrounds us, threnten
h engulf us nnd destroy our spiritual
ity. There never was a greater need
than now for the soldiers of the cross
to arise and "put on the whole armour
of God." to "watch and pray," and
fight b good fight against their owu
weaknesses and against the dart and
snare of the Adversary,
Many dittr Christians realize that
we are living In strange times, but do
not realize that we are In the trsnsl
tlon period between the reign of sin,
slckne and death, and the reign of
Messiah's Kingdom of righteousness
and light. Lot each one whose eyes
of understanding hnve opened to bet
tor appreciation of God's great Book
be on the alert to "show forth the
praises of Him who hath called us out
j of darkness Info His marvelous light"
