Cleveland, Ohio,
June 23. Pastor
Russell delivered
two addresses here
today, one In the
Hippodrome on
Euclid avenue.
One of his address
es we report as follows.-
Ills text
was: "And you
who were one time
alienated and ene
mies In your mind
PASTOR. IcUSSEiD
by wicked works,
yet now hath fie reconciled in the body
of Ills -flesh through death, to present
you holy and unblameable and un re-
provable In Ills sight, If ye continue Id
the faith," etc.-Colossians 1, 21-23.
Our text is a wonderfully condensed
statement of the grace and power of
the Lord operating in Ills Church Ills
faithful footstep followers. The more
we ponder our text and its context the
more we must admire the lengths,
breadths, depths and heights of the
Divine Tower enlisted on our behalf,
and admire also the faithfulness and
ability of the Apostle ns the Divine
mouthpiece. It is really too wonderful
for the natural man to believe that the
grace of God could ever present before
the Divine presence and glory, perfect
ed, holy, faultless, Irreprovable, such
Imperfect, unworthy creatures as we
by nature are! Well did the poet ex
press our sentiments in the words: "I'm
a miracle of grace!"
The Apostle is not speaking of
Tower Divine working in the heart of
a perfect man, fitting him for glory,
houor and Immortality on the Heaven
ly plane. He declares, on the contrary,
that His words apply to those who
were at one time alienated from God,
Opposed to Him in their minds as a re
sult of wicked works. Such even Di
vine power is able to transform. The
key to this transformation lies in the
humnn will. If it be fully surrendered
to the -grant -Kedeemtif,. II undertakes
to bring about the grand results de
clared in our text. Force indeed could
be used, and the Scriptures assure us
that force to some extent wl.ll be used
during the period of Messiah's reign,
but now, in selecting those who will
be Jesus' companions in glory, none
are dealt with except such as give to
the Lord their hearts, their wills, de
siring Him "to work in them to will
and to do of His good pleasure."
Reconciliation tha Firat Step.
The great Apostle did not neglect to
here reiterate the fact that before any
thing could be done by way of recou
riling sinners to God a sacrificial work
was necessary. The great Creator's
sentence of death upon the rnce could
neither be ignored by Himself nor by
any other. No reconciliation to God
could possibly be accomplished which
would bring the sinner back into full
fellowship and the enjoyment of Dl
Tine favor and everlasting life except
as the penalty for original sin should
first be met. So the Apostle reminds
us that the One who is able to pre
sent us holy and blameless and un re
provable is He who has already made
reconciliation for us "in the body of
His flesh through death."
Let us pause here long enough to lni
press upon our minds this great Bib
Heal fact, that It was the death of
Jesus which secures for Father Adam
(and incidentally for all of his race con
doomed in him) a release from the
death sentence which came upon him
as a violator of the Divine Law. And
let us not forget that there is an In
finite difference between a death sen
tence which God did inflict and an eter
nal torment sentence which the creeds
of the Dark Ages misled us into be
llevlng was the Divine penalty pro
nounced against the sinner.
It was because the sentence, "Dying,
thou shalt die," was pronounced
against Father Adam that the death
f Jesus wus a Hansom-price sufficient
to secure the sinner's release aud the
release from death by a resurrection of
- all of Adam's posterity who shared
the results of his sentence. Thus we
see the force of tho Scriptural declara
tion that "as by a man came death, by
a Man also came the resurrection from
the dead; for as all in Adam die, even
so all in Christ Bhall be made alive
every man in his own order." I Co
rlnthlnus xv, 21-23.
But the Father's grace operating In
Christ Jesus designs more than merely
the abolishment of the death sentence,
To merely redeem us and merely bring
us back Into the condition in which
death overtook us is not the Divine
Program. It Is further reaching; it
aims at our complete uplift out of sin
as well as out of death, its penalty-
out of weakness and out of Imperfec
tlon of every kind. It alms to make
us holy, righteous; and the Apostle
leaves no room for any misunderstand
log respecting the degree of righteous
cess. The result is not to be merely a
righteous will, or a righteous purpose,
urn
with an Imperfection o& accomplish
ment, but so thorough a work that
when It Is finished we will be faultless
and unreprovable, not only in the sight
of our Redeemer, but also la the sight
of our Heavenly Father. Ah, no won
der if we are astonished at the won
derful power and grace of God which
this declaration reveals!
Ya Are God'a Workmanthip.
The same Inspired pen exrVnlus else
where to us: "Ye are God's husban
dry," ye are God's workmanship, tl
Corinthians lit, 0.) Let us not lose
sight of the thought that "it is God
that worketh in us, both to will and
to do of Ills good pleasure." (Phlllp
plans 11, 13.) While the Lord Jesus
Christ, as our Elder Brother and the
Captain of our Salvation and the active
Agent in our redemption through His
death, Is associated with the Father in
all of this work of our perfecting, nev
ertheless we are not to lose sight of
the fact that all things are of the Fa
ther, as all things are by the Son. The
two are in perfect accord, but the
Scriptures assure us that the Tlan it
self was the Father's and that He gra
ciously invited the Son to the partici
pation which He enjoys.
When we think of the Divine crea
tive Power our minds go out to the
wheeling orbs which encircle our earth,
to the millions of suns and hundreds
of millions of planets which fill the
space about us and which we call the
Universe: "Day unto day uttereth
speech, and night unto night showeth
knowledge; there is no speech nor lan
guage where their voice is not heard"
declaring the omnipotence and omnis
cience of our great God, their Creator.
We say that these are works worthy
of a Creator, and we are surprised that
the Great Eternal should in any sense
of the word Interest Himself and Ills
great Tower in a transforming work
in connection with our hearts and lives.
Nevertheless, the more wo consider it
the more we are convinced that the
creation of angels was n greater dis
play of Divine Tower than the crea
tion of the worlds. Likewise the crea
tion of man In the image of God was
a far greater creation than that of the
material I'ulvcrse, because man was
created in the Imago and likeness of
His Creator Adam was a miniature
copy of God in the flesh.
The Divine intention respecting
Adam and his race in general, the III
ble assures us, Is Restitution restora
tion eventually to all that was enjoyed
by our first parents lu Eden and lost
through disobedience sin. The Ileav
enly Father has arranged that the sor
rows and tears Incidental to the relgu
of sin and death are not to be in vain.
He purposed man's redemption and
restoration from before the founda
tion of the world foreknowing as He
did the course of Adam as a free agent,
his disobedience and fall under the
death penalty. .
Thus the Scriptures assure us that in
the Divine purpose Jesus was "the
Lamb slain troin before the foundation
of the world." And they assure us
that the Lamb who was slain is nlti
mately to be given. the dominion over
the whole earth, and for a thousand
years shall exercise n reign of right
eousness, justice, iove.and power with
a view to the reclamation and restitu
tlon of all the willing aud obedient of
the human family and the destruction
of all those who love sin and hate
righteousness and who therefore ar
styled "corrupters of the earth." Rev
elation xl, IS.
Wa Ara God'a Naw Creation.
As we have just seen, the great and
Important work of human restitution
the Father has delivered over entire
to the Sou, the world's Redeemer; as
we read: "He must reign until He shall
have put down all enemies" even
death, the last enemy. Then He will
deliver up tho Kingdom to God, even
the Father, says St. Taul. (I Corin
thians xv, 24-28) But our text Is not
discussing that work of Restitution
which belongs to the coming Age of
Messiah's glorious reign of righteous
ness. On the contrary, it deals with
the specially favored and specially
blessed ones who 'during this Age are
being called, proved, tested, polished
prepared for Jolnt-helrship with Jesus
lu His Kingdom.
These are special objects of Divine
care, whose blessing consists not in
restitution to earthly perfection and an
earthly Eden home or Paradise. These
are called of God with a "high call
lng," a "heavenly cnlling" to be "heirs
of God aud Joint-heirs with Jesus
Christ our Lord." (Romans vill, 17.)
These, St. Teter tells us have been
granted exceeding great and precious
promises, that by these promises as
the Divine power or energy working
in them they might become partakers
of the divine nature. II Peter 1, 4.
Ah, now we perceive the special
sense in which Divine Power la being
exercised toward the called and elect
Church from that which will be exer
cised toward the world lu general
God is creating a new order of beings
in the Universe an order or class on
the divine plane, which is far above
that of nngels, principalities and pow
ers or any other plane in the whole
Universe. This In the sense, then, In
which we are God's workmanship and
newly created of Him In Christ Jesus
unto good works.
Only from this standpoint can the
beauty and harmony of the Bible be
discerned. The Father's providences
guided that Jesus should first pass
through the trials aud difficulties and
self sacrifices necessary to a demon
stratiou of Ills loyalty, which would
prove III in worthy of the divlue mi
ture. And so the Apostle tells us that
He who was rich, for our sakes be
came poor; that the Logos humbled
Himself and took a bondman's form
In harmony with tho Divine Program
"And being found in fashion a Man,
He humbled Himself" still further,
even to death, "even tha death of the
crow." "Wherefore also ion tnis ac
count God hath highly exalted Ulm,
and given Him a name that is above
every name, that at the name of Jesus
every knee should bow, both of things
in heaven and things on the earth."
Phlllppians li, 0-10.
Nor did the New Creation cease with
this exaltation of the Lottos, the Re
deemer of men, to the Fathet's right
hand of power aud honor an J glory,
that "all men should honor the hen
even as they honor the Father." (John
t, 23.) On the contrary, St. Paul ex
plains to us a Mystery, hidden from
previous Ages and Dispensations, but
now made known unto God's saintly,
namely, that the Divine purpose is that
a Church class shall be selected dur
ing this Gospel Age, to share with the
Logo, Jesus, His exalted glory and
honor, dominion and power and diviue
nature as a Bride class. Thus we
read: "It became 111m the Father,
in bringing many sous to glory,
to make the Captain of their salva
tion perfect through suffering." He
brews II, 10.
Vnd now, as the Father's Repre
sentative and agent, for eighteen hun
dred years the Redeemer has been do
ing the wo.-k of preparing this class
which is to be His Bride and Joint
heir in Ills Kingdom the class which
Is to be associated with Him in the
judging and blessing of the world of
mankind in general.! Corinthians
vi, 2.
"Ye Sea Your Calling, Brethren."
St. Paul, pointing out the privileges
of those who are now being called,
says, "Ye see your calling, brethren,
how that not many wise men after the
flesh, not many mighty, not many no
ble are called," but chiefly "the poor
of this world, rich In faith, heirs of the
Kingdom." (I Corinthians i, 20; James
ii, 5.) Thorpe who possess the blessings
of the present life in great abundance
are thereby disadvantaged respecting
this great High Calling, while the poor
of this world have their compensation,
for the things of tho present time hav.
ing less attraction for them, their ears
and hearts and "the eyes of their un
derstanding" are more ready to discern
the glorious things of the Divine reve
lation, which the natural eye hnth not
seen nor the ear nearu tilings wnim
God hath In reservation for those that
love Him supremely for those whoso
love for God manifests itself in a full
consec ration of mind and body to know
and to do the Divine will.
Our text tells us of the possibilities
of our "cnlling" of what God through
Christ is able and willing to do for us
even bringing us to a perfection of ho
liness and faultlessness In the Dlviuo
presence at the eud of our race course.
But there are conditions, our text de
clares, namely: "If ye continue In the
faith, grounded and settled, and be not
moved away from the Hope of the Gos
pel, which, ye have heard and which
was preached to every creature which
was under heaven." Verse 23.
Since there ..are conditions, we must
give them earnest heed; for how could
we be careless or indifferent in re
spect to so high a calling, so heavenfy
a Prize as this set before us? Care
lessness, neglect. Indifference In respect
to the terms or conditions, would be
manifesting a lack of appreciation of
the gift, the privilege, the opportunity;
and this In turn would mean thnt
thereby- wo mark ourselves In the
Lord's estimation ns unworthy of the
proffered honors and glories.
"The Hope of tho Gotpel."
It should not surprise us that the
Apostle lays great stress upon the
"Hope of the Gospel" God is not work
ing In us with tools of iron and steel
or gold or silver to transform or to
polish us. Ills fashioning and trans
forming tool Is the Hope of the Gos
pel. It Is this Hope which the Apos
tle declares we should "have as an
anchor to our soul, both sure and
steadfast, entering Into that which Is
within the veil, whither our Forerun
ner Is for us entered." (Hebrews vl,
10, 20.) Thus we will be settled and
grounded and safe In all the storms of
life, great and small. Our anchorage
of faith will give us the assurance of
the Divine promise, that "all things
shall work together for good to those
who are the called according to His
purpose," to those who are the
"Happy object! of Ilia grace,
Destined to behold Ills face."
But the Divine 'arrangement is that
In order to continue In the faith we
must feed continually upou the prom
ises of God, and must allow them to
have a sanctifying power In our minds,
In our hearts and over our words and
conduct, making us more and more
copies of God's dear Son. As our text
Intimates and other Scriptures tell us,
the Adversary will seek, to move us
away from the glorious promises of
tho Gospel, putting fear as an lucen
tive Instead of love, or attracting us
by worldly pleasures or pride or "the
love of money," which Is "a root of all
evil." Our worthiness to be of the
New Creation will bo demonstrated by
the faithfulness, the persistency with
which we will hold on and strive
against the oppositions of the world,
the flesh and the Adversary, and more
and more seek and enjoy the fellow
ship of the Father and of tho Son.
If we know these things, happy will
wo bo If we allow them to exercise us
both to will and to do the Father's
good pleasure, to tho extent of our
ability as new creatures In Christ. If
we do so, He who began tho good work
will complete It in the Day of tho
Lord Jesus Chrlst-ln the Morning of
the New Dispensation, In the First
Resurrection. This means a gradual
growing In graco and In knowledge
and In the fruits and graces of the
Holy Spirit to the extent of our ability.
The merit of our Redeemer compen
sating for all our unintentional short
comings, He will eventually present
us holy, faultless, uureprovabte In the
Kingdom.

Movement Party Created Saturday
Night Is Dedicated.
Chicago, June 24. Tho Progressive
party, born lnfit Saturday night, wa
dedicated here.
In the presence of perhaps BOO men.
some of them recognized leaders ol
tho movement, 'Others merely onlook
ers, the first formal step was taken.
Governor Hiram Johnson of California
was empowered to appoint a commit
tee of seven members to confer with
Colonel Roosevelt and formulate a
plan of action.
Here is the birth of a new party,
said Governor Johnson, when this
was done.
The movement Is going steadily
ahead," said James K. Gartlold o!
Ohio. "Those who think this la a
flash In the pan are mistaken." ;
In the opinion of the leaders, the
new party enters the field with a, for
midable equipment at the outset.
These leaders, however, said that as
to the men who took a conspicuous
part In tho campaign for Colonel
Roosevelt's nomination ench must
speak for himself.
No definite Idea of the plan to he
followed could bo obtained, and It was
said tint a period of several weeks
may elapse before the program 1b de
cided upon. Governor Johnson, In the
meantime, wlil act ns Held marshal,
and in cooperatlou with Colonel
Roosevelt will declilo upou member
ship of the committee of seven to
guide the preliminary work of the or
ganization. Colonel Roosevelt will lenvo foi
Oyster Pay this afternoon, aud Gov
trnor Johnson will return nt once to
California. They will keep In touch
with each other through tho malls
uiul by telegraph.
The meeting was held In tho head
quarters of the national Roosevelt
committee, under direction of thu
most prominent Roosevelt supporters
who bar! not left town. Seated at a
table with Governor Johnson were Mr
Garfield, Mr. I'lnchot, Governor Stubbs
Lt Kansas, Mcdill McCormlck of Chi'
cgo ami Senator Clapp of Minnesota.
Scattered tnr6uKh the: hall ware a
large number of, Roosevelt delegates
to the ,. Republican .national cpnven

was impossible to ascertain how large
a proportion of f ho full Roosevelt

nearly every state which sent' (loose

The red hantanna, handkerchief, was
adopted as the "Roosevelt battle flag.''
Most of the delegate's wore flaming
bandannas tied to tlielr arms, and
others were distributed by the" hun
dreds to the crowd. The bandanna,
it was said, stands, for the plain peo
ple, who, ordinarily use them.
"We are all plain people here, and
this is a movement of the plain peo

Colonel Roosevelt gave his sanction
to the "battle flag" by appearing with
