L C. W. MURRAY A VERY
UNFORTUNATE BUN
Loses Sight of Ono Eye Several
Years Ago From Polsouous Bug
and Now Loses the Other.
Guy Murray and wife drove in
from their home thi9 morning and
boarded the early train for Oma
ha, where they visited Mr. Mur
ray's father, L. C. Murray, at the
hospital, where he has been for a
week having his eyes treated.
Mr. Murray had the misfortune
some days ago, while picking ap
ples, to have his right eye put out
by receiving a blow. Some years
ago while husking corn he was
stung in his left eye by a poison
ous bug, and at that lime spent
several weeks in the hospital, but
could not save tho sight of the
injured eye.
The doctors now have hope of
restoring the sight of the eye,
which was first injured, and while
his vision may not be as good as
before, yet will be very good. The
sight of the eye injured ten days
ago is entirely destroyed, and at
the present Mr. Murray is totally
blind. It is to be hoped that the
specialist may be successful in re
storing the sight of Mr. Murray's
left eye, which he thinks can be
done.

Dr. T. P. Livingstone is one of

who is taking the greatest interest
in the organization that is to be
effected next Thursday night. He
said: "It's wonderful the changes
that have been made in the old
university since I went there, a
young kid in 1879. Just think of
it there is not a single profes
sor connected with the institution
that was there in those early
days. Dr. H. K. Wolfe, who is
now one of the most distinguished
of the professors had graduated
the year before and gone to
Europe for a higher degree. This
movement for a Cass counly club

Gate W.. Oct. I
22.-Fastor Rus- '
sell spoke ure
twice today to
large audiences.
We report one of
the discourses
which treated on
the difference be
tween human and
Divine standards
of measurement,
lie said In part: 1
When we were j
children the days were longer and the '
yearn seemed Interminable. The boll
days of the year stood out before us
prominently, but seemed seldom to re
cur. Gradually all this changed as
we reached the renlth of our energy.
Now the days chase each other and
we marvel at the brevity of life. How
God regards time we might not know j
U' He bad not revealed the matter In
Ills Word. As we read, "A thousand
years In Thy sight are but as yester
day," and "A day with the Lord Is as
a thousand years". Our minds assent
It must be so! And God's people are
blessed lu proportion bh they are able
to take the Divine viewpoint of life
and all of its affairs.
From tho Dlvlue standpoint, then,
'we see that the six thousand years of
eurth's history, from Adaui'B day until
now, are merely the work-day portion
of a great week whose Seventh Day or
Sabbath of a thousand years Is "the
day of Christ." "the last day," "the
day of Judgment" or trial for the
world; the day in which "every knee
fhall bow and every tongue roufess to
the glory of God"; the day In which
the righteous shall flourish and tho
evil-doors shall be cut off In the Second
Death;" tho day during which God
will ,"pour out Ills Spirit upon all
flesh," as ne now grants It to His
servants and handmaidens.
In the Divinely arranged custom of
the Jews the new day began at sunset.
Thus we are in the evening or begin
ning of the great Seventh Day of the
Divine Week-the day which means so
much of blessing, uplifting, privilege,
opportunity of Divine favor to our
race through Messiah's glorious King
dom, which throughout this Seventh
Day will reign "from sea to sea and
from the river to the ends of the
earth," putting down everything con
trary to the Divine standards and up
lifting tho world of mankind (bought
with the precious blood at Calvary)
from sin, meanness, degradation and
tho tomb up, up, up, step by step to
human perfection In a world-wide
Eden. The unwilling, resisting Divine
favors and privileges, shall be de
stroyed in the Second Death.
"Six days shalt thou labor and do all
thy work, but the Seventh Is the Sab
bath of the Lord thy God. In it thou
shalt not do any work." Whoever
reads carefully, Intelligently, the pages
of history, must be struck with the en
ergy which has been manifested by
our race and Is still being manifested.
The pyramids and the ruins of ancient
cities, and civilization, all tell us of
the ceaseless struggle of humanity
against the adverse conditions prevail
ing in the earth. Including t lie strife
against sickness and death, and,' by a
few. a noble fight against sin and
further degradation.
Well does t lie Prophet express the
truth of our observation, saying. "We
have not wrought any deliverance In
tho earth." (Isaiah xxvl, 18.) A few
have gained fabulous riches, name or
fame, place or power, but the majority
during all Ibis period have gone down
In the strife to the tomb, slain by the
great' associated monarchs which the
Rlble declares are now reigning Sin
and Death. ' 4 " ' '
And even tbe comparatively few who
hare gained eminence and whose vic
tories are most loudly extolled In hu
man history have fallen olso many of
them In the very prime of life oil of
them In comparative childhood. Why
Is it that a man should not live for a
hundred years when we have the Di
vine assurance that even under the
Divine sentence Father Adam resisted
death for DDO years so rigorous was
his constitution T
Wearied Children Tall Asleep
From the Divine standpoint the chil
dren of Adam, born in sin, shapen in
Iniquity, of a few days and full of
trouble, fall asleep In death like chil
dren wearied In their piny; albeit It Is
a play grim with tragedy, In which
each actor performs bis part most
realistically.
From the Divine standpoint human
ambition and strife and energy aro
accomplishing n useful purpose, even
though the efforts are usually selfish
and often brutish. The lessons now
being learned ly Adam's children will
not all be lost. The greater mellow
ness of heart and broader views of
jrA5TOlTgUSSrLL)
the majority of those who have thus
battled selfishly for even fifty years
suggest that, as a whole, our race
might do better work In a second ecu
tury than lu the first Moreover, the
Scriptures Indicate that the great dra
ma of sin, selfishness and passion
being enacted by humanity is furnish
ing a lesson to angelic hosts respect
ing tbe exceeding sinfulness of sin
Its downward tendency Its bitter
fruit and the hopelessness of any to
escape therefrom except by Divine
assistance.
Next the Leeson of Good
The forbidden fruit of Eden was
from the tree of the knowledge of fo4
and evil. Doubtless the Creator woul4
eventually have given a full knowledge
of both good and evil to our first par
ents. They were merely forbidden an
immediate plunge Into knowledge to
their own disadvantage. Craving
knowledge before Its due time. Moth
er Eve disobeyed her Maker and en
ticed her husband also Into disobedi
ence. The result has been that in
stead of learning the philosophy of
good at first and of evil later, they
and their race have been precipitated
Into lessons respecting evil first, with
tho knowledge of good to come later.
The holy angels, who have uever
transgressed the Divine law, have
continually the lesson of good-nn ap
preciation of the Divine character, the
principles of righteousness, etc. Their
lessons In respect to evil they are
gaining by observation Instead of by
experience the way recommended to
our first parents by the Creator, but
In their Ignorance rejected.
But God foreknew the course which '
Ills human children would tnke under
the Influence of temptation; He fore
knew that they would fall into sin and
therefore would experience Its penalty,
sorrow, pain and death. While His eye
has pitied Ills poor creatures for six
thousand years, nevertheless He has
allowed Ills great original Tlan of the
Ages to move along slowly to a grand
climax tho Tlnn which He purposed
In Himself from before the foundation
of tho world. I
That climax In human affairs, wo be
lieve, Is near at hand. It marks a
great change In Dispensation. The six
thousaud years, tho reign of slu and
death, are to be completed by a ter
rible time of trouble which might nt .
Improperly be termed the natural re
ult of human selfishness (sin) operat
ing under tho Influence of the great
principles of the New Dispensation
now being ushered In. Selfishness, as
represented In tho accumulated finan
cial power and energy called trusts and
combines. Is about to come Into con
flict Willi selfishness (sin), represented
in the combining forces of humanity,
labor unions, etc. The bond-on collision
which thinking peoplo foresee, and
which the Scriptures graphically por
tray, will give to society an earthquake
shock; more than this, the graphic pic
ture is of a world-conflngrntion w hich
will Involve the heavens, or ecclesias
tical powers, as well as the earth, or
social system, and the mountains, or
kingdoms of the world. The picture
would be too terrible to paint, and
useless as well, were It not for the sil
ver lining to the cloud. I
I The awful shock which God's people
ore warned to avoid so far as possible
by following peace peace and benevo-
lence will merely prepare tho way for
the glorious blessings of the great Sev
enth Day, In which man will rest from
Ids own schemes and endeavors and
come fully under the control of tho
great King, Messiah, whose rule of
righteousness for human uplift has
been prophetically pictured for centu
ries. j Tho Picture In Retrotpect
I St!!l looking from the Divine stand
I point at tho six great thousand year
days In which sin and death have
reigned, W9 perceive that one effect
hns been as foreto'd to Mother Eve,
"1 will greatly multiply thy sorrows
ond thy conception." We perceive
thnt our race has multiplied much
more rapidly than It would have done
had It remained perfect as at first, for
the first children, even In the days fol
lowing the fall, were frequently born
when the father was an hundred yenrs
j old.
I We have already referred to the les
son respecting the sinfulness of sin
which conies to all mankind most
I fully, most consciously to those fa
vored by contact with the people of
God who have received the Divine
Revelation. The enlightened ones have
, been but a small proportion of tho
, whole. After two thousand yenrs of
the reign of sin and death God fore
told In nn obscure manner the bless
ings He Intended to bring subsequent
ly to the rnce; To Abraham II" sr'd.
Al) the families of the earth I will
bless through thee and throiirh thy
Seed. That message, followed In Is
rael by the giving of the Law Cove
nant, hns been the Light of the world.
For eighteen centuries It was the only
light of hope, of prospect. Then, in
partial fulfillment of that promise,
came Jesus, the first practical expres
sion of Divine love and pity for our
race. No longer would God content
nimself merely with promises, ne
would now begin the
Vork of Human Retoue
Rut If ony hoped that world-wide
MesHlngs would Immediately spring
Op as the result of Jesus' work, he
was mistaken. On the contrary. Jesua
nimself was combated by the Prince
of darkness and his deluded subjects.
And the same principle has obtained
for nearly two thousand yearn all
followers of .lesns hnve been obliged
to take up their cross ond suffer for
righteousness, for godliness. In the
midst of a crooked and perverse peo
ple, amongst whom they have shone
As lights and whom, to some extent,
thivr hnve assisted In enlightening,
civilizing, etc.
Thus the six days of the week, so
far as light, truth, kuowledpe of God
is concerned, have nil been dark days.
The light which God provided In His
followers have been as candles set
Un fHtidiestleks. Tbey have Indeed
reproved the darkness, but they have
been powerless to scatter It. Nor did
God so Intend. Ills declaration
through the Prophet Is, "Weeping may
endure for the night, but Joy comet b
In the morning." i Psalm' xxx, 5
Again, "Darkness covers the earth,
gross darkness the people;" but "the
Bun of Righteousness shall arise wUU
healing In Ills beams," Isaiah Ix, 2;
Milschi v. 2.
This promised Sun of Righteousness
which Is to scatter the darkness of
earth, ws are told distinctly, consists,
of Jesns and those who have walked.
In His footsteps throughout this Gos
pel Age. These, approved of the Fa
ther, will be glorified beyond the veil
by a resurrection to glory, honor and
Immortality. Theu speedily these will
"shine forth as the Sun In the King
dom of their Father."' (Matthew xlii,
43.) This will mean the ushering in of
the gn at Seventh Day-Messiah's Day.
God Hat Not Neglected Us
From this Dlvlue viewpoint God Is
not slack concerning His promises.
Only six days of the week have yet
passed. The glorious Seventh Day In
which the great Mediator between God
and men will assunio lils Kingdom
powers Is Just at baud. Instead of
thinking that, God Is neglecting and
forgetting to fulfil the Messianic prom
ise's, we should with the eyes of fait It
realize that He la working all things
according to tho counsel of Ills own
will. We should consider the matter
from the standpoint that God has ex
ercised great patience with humanity
in not blotting out the race; He ha
been long Suffering, And this assures
us that the Unchangeable Ono would
prefer that none of His creatures
should perish In death, but rather that
all. If they would, might tuni unto
Him and llve.-Ezeklel xxxlll. It.
The great opportunity for the masses
of our race to turn to tbe Lord and at
tain everlasting llfo will be nfter the
darkness shall have passed, when the
Sun of Righteousness shall bo shining
forth; ofter the Highway of nollues
shall have taken tbe place of the Rroait
Road to destruction; after Messiah, tho
great King, shall have dethroned Sa
tan, the rrlnco-of idarkness, from tho
world's control; after the Prince ot
IVace shall have established peace
upon a proper basis. Who cannot King
heartily with the poet;
"A thousand years, earth's coming glory.
'Tin the glud day so long foretold,
'TIs the Kind morn of .Ion's slory.
Frophcti forma w In tlmra of old!"
Waiting' For the Mother
Our race was generated by Father
Adam as well as condemned to death
through his disobedience. What the
race needs Is another father or llfe
glver. and this Is exactly what the
word Savior signifies I.lfe-Glver, Fa
ther. The Redeemer, at the cost of ills
own life, became the purchaser ot
Adam and his race with a view to
their resuscitation, their 'resurrection
from sin and from death. Is not ono
of the Redeemer's titles "The Everlast
ing Father" the Father who gives
everlasting life? Unquestionably He
has not yet fulfilled this glorious otllco
of Life-Giver to Adam's race; lie will
fulfil It, however-"bi His Day."
Speaking to His faithful disciples,
nis followers In tho narrow way, Jesus
promised them, "In tho regeneration
ye hhall sit upon twelve thrones." (Mat
thew xlx, 2S.) That regeneration pe
riod corresponds exactly to 8t. Peter's
"times of restitution," or years of
restoration (Arts III. 10), and both of
these periods agree to tho general
teachings of Scripture respecting a
resurrection at the last day Messiah's
day tho thousand years of regenera
tion, resurrection, restitution, which
will afford Adam and his race fullest
opportunities for attaining perfection
of human nature In on Edeulc world
wide Paradise.
The Lord through tho Prophet as
sures us of . the wonderful success
which will attend the establishment
of the New Empire of earth, the do
minion of the1 Prince of light, which
will supersede tho dominion of tho
Prince of darkness, when Satan shall
be bound for n' thousand yenrs, that
ho may deceive the peoples no more.
Thus It Is written, "He shall lay
righteousness to the line and Justice
to the plummet mid the hall Truth
shall sweep away the refuge of lies."
(Isaiah xxv ill. 17.) .
Rut why (ho delay, do you ask? Ah.
we answer, God did not permit Adam
t I r r'n the establishment of his raco
until first He nave him Eve as hls
bride, his wife. The world needed not
merely it llfe-glver1 but a mother. ;t
car;1 t:i! er. a helpmate.
Hlinlh'rly 1 1 the Divine arrangement
God has provided that the restitution
time, tho world's uplifting period, tho
regeneration epoch for mankind, shall
not begin-until first the true Church,
the "little flock." the Rrlde of Christ,
shall be completed and be united or
married to the Heavenly Rrldegroom,
beyond tile veil mad" partaker with
nim of g'ory. honor iiimortallty
the dlvlue nature.
Thus, my dearly beloved, the great
Tlnn of the Ages, timed by Infinite
Wisdom, hns delayed long enough to
permit you and me and all of God's
Splrlt-begotten children to make our
calling and our election sure to ft
share with our Redeemer In III
glorious work. How glad we are that
the door of opportunity to this "high
calling" still stands open and that tho
neavenly Father nnd the Kingly Re
deemer are beckoning us to share tho
things which eye hath not seen nor
ear heard, neither hnve entered Into
tho heart of man, but which are re
served for us nnd for all who love
nim sincerely-more than they love
houses or lands, parents or children
or self!
