"The Rett of the Dead Lived Not
Again. Until tie Thousand Years
War Finished" Explanation of Doc
trine That Ha Proved Puzzling to
Many Believers and Unbelievers.
Glasgow, Scot
land, July 28th.
lill.lu Students of
this vicinity num
bering hundreds
Jiuve held a three
days' convention.
Today's session,
intended by sever
111' thousand, was
addressed by Pas
tor Russell twice.
We report one of
his discourses, bait
ed on Revelation
xx, 5. It was announced that next
Sunday he will address a similar con
vention In London, lie sald:-
Tho resurrection of the (lend seems
to be the most dlfllcult thing in tho
Biblo for the worldly-minded to grns
by fuith. ' This uiiiHt be because the hu
man mind Instinctively realizes tho
tnnjesty of the Power and Wisdom
necessary to the reproduction of the
same Individuality which lived and
thought centurleH ago, before passing
Into the silence of the tomb. Tho 111
blo makes no denial of tho stupen
dousness of the resurrection miracle
no far beyond tho wildest flights of
bumnn Imagination It confesses this
and calls upon us to exercise faith In
tho great Creator, tho Omnipotent One.
whose greatness we can but feebly
sc 1 1 ho and surely cannot comprehend.
Hence, the doctrine of tho resurrec
tion of the (lend, from Its first an
nouncement In the Scriptures, has call
1 for the strongest faith on tho part
of believers and bus excited tho gen
eral resentment of unbelievers, who
seem to find It easier to believe any
thing else respecting the dead. Un
doubtedly this Is the reason why so
many who glv'e evidence of general In
telligence accept tho absurd theory that
when h dog dies ho Is dead, but when
a man dies he Is more alive than ever.
These properly claim to hope for
everlasting life, but not having faith
enough to U'lieve In the Divine power
to perform the resurrection of the
dend. they are driven to the theory of
3'lato. Indeed, who has not ' heard
Pluto iiunted by ministers and other
.learned men when discussing the fu
ture life? They do not quote Jesua
and the AmkUcs, Itecnuse the explana
tions of Jesus and the ApoHtles are all
to the contrary, proving that the dead
are ditul. and that the only hope of a
future existence Is by a resurrection.
. Jesus' Answer to the 8adducees.
Note the answer of Jesus to the Sad-
dncees of Ills day. who. we are told,
specially denied the resurrection of
the dead. Jesus answered, "That the
dead are Ito be raised was shown to
Moses at the burning bush," when
iod's message wmt, "I am the God of
thy fathers, the God of Abraham and
the God of Ihbbc and tho God of Ja
cob." (Mark xll. 20; Acts vll. 32.1
Jesus commented that God would not
declare Himself to bo their God If they
were (lend In tho absolute sense that
brutes die. Jesus' argument wns that
the fact that God Btlll recognized them
as persons whllo (lend Implied that
their souls merely slept and will be
granted a resurrection of the dead. In
God's duo time and In better bodies
undcr more favorable conditions than
those under which they died.
We remember that St. Paul's letters
and sermons abound In references to
tho dead. We call to mind his grent
resurrection chapter (I Corinthians
xt), In which ho declares that "As nil
die In Adam, so all shall be mnde alive
la Christ every mnn In his own or
der." (Verses 22. 23.1 Ho does not
nay that every man i alive, but that
they shall be tnado alive In the resur
rection. The Intermediate atnte he de
clares Is n sleep, from which, by Dl
vine arrangement through Jesus, they
will nil be awakened In the resurrec
tion morning, at and after the second
coming of Christ
We remind you afresh of his positive
statement thst If there be no resur
rection of tho dead, then all whom we
have supposed have fallen asleep have
perished. (Verses 10-1H.) Hut that
God is able to rnlse nil the dend he
declares Is demonstrated by tho fact
that He raised up Jesus from the (lend
on the third day; and so llkewlso on
the Third Day of a larger scale the
third thousand yenr day from the time
Jesus was mined -God will rnlse up all
those who have died becnuso of Ad
sin's sin.
That Third Grent Dny. the Millen
nium, will be tho Great Seventh Day
or Sabbath. So to spenk, our Lord
gave Himself a Hansom price In the
Fifth Dny. from which the Seventh
would be the Third Day. tho dny of
tho world's resurrection "the Inst
Day" the end of the presont Week
of 1000-year days In which sin and death
tiive reigned, ushering In tho glorious
Cpoch when Ood's will shall be done
cn earth as It Is done in Hoaven.
The Chief Resurrection.'
The tenor of all tho Scriptures is thnt
Abe Church slone will participate In
Q
"(PAStOggUSSLlL)
First or Chief ReBurrect!on-the world
In general will have uo share In It.
Ilearken to Jesus' words on this sub
ject, and note their expllcltness of
statement to the effect that all who
participate lu this First Resurrection
will be the elect overcomers of this
Age, and they will be the Hoyal Priests,
or Priestly Kings, of the next Age. In
which the world will be dealt with
and. so far as willing, uplift from
sin and death. He says, "Blessed and
I holy ure all they that have part In the
First Resurrection; on such the Second
j Death hath no power; they shall be
priests unto God, and unto Christ. nnl
shnll reign with Him a thousand
years." Itevelutlon xx, C.
The word in this text rendered flint
signifies ehirf. foremnnt, superior. It
will Indeed be first In order of time,
too; but the particular thought Is that
It Is 8iiNrior. Its superiority rests In
the fact that nil who Blinre in Its bless
ings will' not only attain life, full, per
fect and everlasting, but additionally
they will recelvo life on the highest
plane, Ixdng made partakers of tho
divine nature, by the "change" which
this resurrection will bring to them.
II Peter i, 4.
The sharers of this resurrection will
not only receive everlasting life, but
more, they will thereby be made death-proof-Immortal
In tho Bible sense, In
which It Is declared that God alone
hath Immortality. God has also given
Immortality to our Redeemer In His
resurrection, and lias promised the
same to the elect Church, the Bride.
tho Lamb's Wife, in this First Insur
rection. Aside from these, so far as
tho Bible teaches, this special kind of
Immortality goes to no other creatures
In the Universe.
Even nngels, both the holy and the
fallen, possess only the ordinary Im
mortality known as everlasting life
an Immortality or deathlessness do
pendent upon tho Divine pleasure and
supported by necessary elements of
DIvino provision. Tho Church, on the
contrary, sharing in this Chief Resur
rection, will possess inherency of life,
the snme kind of Immortality possess
ed by Jehovah Himself.
From tho context it will be seen that
none will participate In this Chief Res
urrection except such as shall success
fully pass their trial and be accounted
worthy of Jolnt-helrshlp with Messiah
In Ills glorious Kingdom, for it is dis
tinctly stated that they nro to "reign
with Him n thousnnd years."
Sharing "Hie Resurrection."
From whut we hnve seen It must bo
evident to ull of us that to gain a
share in this Chief Resurrection Is to
gain tho great Prize held out before
us in tho Gospel Age tho Prize which
our Lord referred to as tho "Pearl of
grent price," for which a mnn would
be well Justified In Belling all that be
has that he might purchase It.
It will be admitted on all hands that
the great Apostle Paul Is represented
amongst the loyal ones who sacrificed
every earthly Interest aim, hope and
ambition that he might attain the
Kingdom blessings and Jolnt-helrshlp
with Christ We are thereforo deeply
Interested In St. Paul's words respect
ing his hope, his sacrifice and his an
ticipation of attaining a shnre In this
better resurrection, which he styles
"His Resurrection" namely, the resur
rection of Christ
The Scriptures continually ma(ntuln
the thought thnt Jesus Is the "fiend of
tho Church which Is Ills Body." and
that these saintly Elect constitute the
members of Ills Body. Carrying out
this figure, the whole Body, all the
members, should shnre In the same
resurrection ns thnt experienced by the
Hend-the Redeemer. And to this the
fncts agree. More thnn eighteen cen
turies ago our Lord Jesus was raised
from tho dead by tho Father's power.
St. Puul declares that because of His
obedience In carrying out the Divine
Program us our Redeemer even unto
death "Therefore God hath highly ex
alted Him, und hath given him a name
honor, station above every name ex
cept His own He is excepted, thnt at
tho name of Jesua every knee should
bow, both of things In heaven and
things on the earth." (Phllipplans il. I).
10.1 To this end we must all be
changed from earthly to heavenly na
ture. because "Flesh and blood can
not Inherit tho Kingdom."
It seems a long tlmo Indeed between
our Ird's resurrection and the resur
root Ion of His Mystlcnl Body, the
Church eluss (Col. 1. 18, 24). but the pe
rlod Is long only from our limited humnn
standpoint not long from tho Divine
standpoint, In which a thousnnd years
are ns oue day. (II Tetcr 111, 8.) He
who brought again from the dead our
Lord Jesu9, that Great Shepherd of the
sheep, will bring us also Ifroni the
dead by Him." and with Him. as
members 'of His Body.
It ls'to this thnt St Taul refers say
ing, I count all earthly things but ns
loss, thnt 1 may win Christ win
a membership In Ills glorified Body In
the Kingdom class, that I might
know Him aud tho power of His rmir
rtctlon thnt I might experience thnt
(real power of God which lu the Re
leemer's ense lifted Hltn not only out
of denth, but to the very highest piano
of existence, tho divine nnture, with
Its glory, honor and Immortality,
being m n do conformable unto Ills
death, that I might shnro also In His
resurrection. Phllipplans 111, 7-1L
Oh, the Apostle gives us the key to
his hopes; he did not hope thnt the
Heavenly Father, who had required of
Jesus a manifestation of His loynlty
onto denth before He would crown Him
with Immortality at Ills own right
hand ho did not expect thnt this same
God would give him a shnre In thnt
great glory and honor, except as he
should bnvo the mind of Christ and
should demonstrate slmllorly his toy.
alty to the, extent of his ability in be
ing conformed to Christ's death
There Is a lesson here for us. It Is
th. In vain thnt we shnll hope to share the
Master's glory If we fall to share IIU
loyalty. His lgnomiuy to be dead with !
Him to the world, its praises. Its am
bitious. Its rewards. "If we suffer with
Him. we shall also reign with Ilhn."
And the only way to enter Into that
reign of glory will be through the kw
er of "His Resurrection" the Chief
Resurrection.
"But the Rest of the Dea.'."
Tbo statement of our text 5mt the
rest of the dead will not live uutll the
thousnnd years of Christ's reign are
finished has proven a stumbling block
to many who have studied too super
ficially. Let us not forget that the
Spirit does not reveal the deep things
of God, except to those who senrch for
Truth "as men search for silver" pa
tiently, persistently, delving deeply.
It is very eusy for all to grasp the
thought that Messiah's Kingdom Is to
last a thousand years, and that all who
shnll he alive at that time, all who shall
be born during that period, will partic
ipate in tho wonderful blessings and
privileges which It will bring to the
humnn family. They ore ready, too,
to admit tho reasonableness of giving
an equnl opportunity to those of our
race who hnve gone down into denth
with cither no knowledge of Christ, as
was tho case for four thousand years,
or with the too limited knowledge to
benefit them, as has been the case dur
ing the past two thousand years, and
today, only this text respecting the
"rest of the dend" stands In their way.
I should be glnd If any such are pres
ent here today, !eeause I know I ca
relieve them of their difficulty. Yea,
shall be glnd If my words through th
press shall reach many others who havr
been perplexed by this Scripture.
It Is not necessary for us to set this
Scripture aside, even though all Rlble
scholars know, or should know, thnt
this portion of Revelation xx. 4. 5
which relates to "the rest of the dene"
which live not again until the thou
snnd yenrs nro finished" Is spurious
that It Is not found In nny of the old
Greek manuscripts. It Is supposed
that It got Into tho text, not through
nny desire to corrupt the snme nnd
falsify tho record, but that In the days
when thd manuscripts were copied by
pen, some copyist mnde this memoran
dum on tho margin of his ninnuscrlpt
ns a helpful thought, nnd thnt other
copyists, using his manuscript, sup
posed It to be a pnrt of the original
nnd Incorporated It in the text.
However, tho additional words are
In no sense In conflict with the facts,
which are these: Adam, created in
his Maker's likeness, perfect, wns alive
In the sense thnt ho enjoyed perfec
tion of life nnd that ho had a right to
a life everlasting, except ns he should
forfeit tho same by disobedience. Tho
moment he disobeyed God's command
he came under the sentence of sin.
namely, denth. From that moment on
ward he was Judicially dead, even
though the dying process lasted for
more than nine hundred years.
Similarly, all of his posterity, from
the Divine standpoint, are dend. "chil
dren of wrath." Jesus carried out
this same thought in Ills teaching,
saying. "Let the dead bury their dead."
Only those who havs accepted Him as
their IJfe-glver are even reckonedly
considered alive, from the DIvino
standpoint
And so. throughout the thousand
years of Messiah's reign, "All In their
graves shall come forth." "every man
In hU own order;" but they will still
be. from the Divine standpoint. Judi
cially dead without tho right to ever
lasting life. The work of the lxrd
Jesus, as the Great Prophet. Priest.
King nnd Judge, and tho Church with
Him, will be the Instruction nnd as
sistance of these for their gradual up
lifting out of sin nnd weakness and
imperfection toward perfection to
ward acceptance with God towurd ev
erlasting life. Such as reject the as
sistance offered will die the Second
Denth. Such ns avail themselves of
the blessed privileges of thnt time will
attuln human perfection. But still
they will not have everlasting life ac
corded to them. They will merely be
In a good, suitable and ready condi
tion for God to grunt them everlnstiug
life, if they shall stand His tests.
The tests for eternal life will come
at the close of the Messianic reign
when tho great Mediator between God
and men, having accomplished nis
work of restitution of the race, shall
deliver over everything Into tho hands
of tho Father tho hands of Justice.
Everlasting life will not be given as a
matter of mercy, but as a matter of
Justice to those who will demonstrate
their loyalty and worthiness of ever
lasting life. The mercy of God will
be exercised In the bringing of them to
this condition, where perfection In
word, deed and thought will bo possible.
The grent temptation which will then
come to all tho world, through the
loosing of Satan the temporary per
mission of evil In the world will dem
onstrate which of these resurrected
from tho dead God can approve nnd
consistently grant tho great gift of
eternal life. All those who full In their
trlnl will be destroyed with Satan lu
tho Second Death, while all who prove
their loyalty will bo acknowledged
worthy of everlasting life..
Thus the rest of the dend, aside from
those now on trial, the Church class,
will not live in the full sense of Divine
recognition ns worthy of everlasting
life, until the thousand years of Mes
siah's reign shall have ended.
But, beloved brethren, much ns we
are Interested In the glorious blessings
thnt the Messianic Kingdom shnll bring
to tho world of mankind, the Lord
wishes us to bo specially Interested in
tho glorious opportunity and privilege
which He has accorded us of having
fellowship with our Redeemer In tho
mfforlng of this present time, and be
ing counted worthy to share with Him
In the glory which shnll follow into
which the faithful will be ushered by
the power of the First Resurrection.

TWO MEET DEATH IN
UNUSUALApGIDENTS
Victims South Qmaltans Who
Had Gone to Sarpy County.
Omaha, July 29. Death under most
unusual circumstances came o two
South Ouiaba people, the victims both
being on trips to Sarpy county. Jo
oph Miller was knocked from the
Missouri Pacific trestle by a train near
La Platte while fishing and was killed.
Mrs. Lena Goodman was instantly
killed by a bullet from a rifle being
carrjP(j
over the shoulder by Ernest
Meyers, a ten-year-old boy. Mrs. Good
man was sitting on a porch in Belle
vue, holding her small baby at the
time.
That the shooting was accidental
appeared from the fact that the young
Meyers boy wns carrying the gun over
his shoulder nt tho time the weapon
was discharged. What caused the dis
charge of the gun could not well be
accounted for, although It Is surmised
that th weapon had been left cocked
by the hoy, who was hunting In the
garden when the accident occurred.

SENATE PASSES SUGAR BILL
Measure Carrying Heavy Tariff Cut
Gets Big Majority.
Washington. July 29. A Republlca
an sugar tariff bill, the first purely Re
publican revision measure of the pres
ent congress, was adopted In the sen
ate. Deserting their allies of the last
two days, the Republican progressives,
by an lronclnd agreement with the
regulars, succeeded In passing a tariff
reduction bill which they believe
President Taft will sign if it reaches
him.
. The sugar bill was a compromise
between the Lodge plan, Indorsed by
the regular Republicans, and the Brls
tow bill. It would cut the present
sugar duty of $190 to $1.60; would
ooollsh the Dutch standard, under
which practically no refined sugar can
be Imported, and would abolish the 7's
cent "refiners' differential," an addl
tlonal duty on refined sugar, which, It
Is claimed, has accrued directly to the
profit of the sugar refiners.
The Republicans played "big poll
tics" In the third and last day's fight
en tariff measures. Tho regulars came
down from the $1.82'i duty of the
I)dge bill, while tho progressives
moved upward from the $1.53Vi ra'e
the original Bristow bill.
Five Japanese Seized.
San Diego. Cal., July 29. Making
their way wii.i the aid of a compass

SENATE PASSES
EXCISEJAX BILL
Democrats and Progressive Re
publicans Again Unite.
BORAH BILL IS DEFEATED.
New Tariff on Print Paper Is Provided
For Bill Extends Tax on Corpora
tions to Individuals and Private
Concerns.
Washington, July 27. Democrats
and progressives united again in the
senate and by a vote of 3tJ to 18
passed the Democratic excise tax bill,
extending the present tax on corpora
tions to the business of Individuals,
private firms and co-partnerships.
Attached to the measure, also by the
aid of Republicans votes, were amend
ments for tho repeal of the Canadian
reciprocity law and the fixing of a $2
per ton tariff on print paper, and for
the establishment of a permanent non
partisan tariff commission.
Senator Borah, in a fight to have hia
income tax bill substituted for the
"tax on business," lost by a vote of
33 to 23, although he mustered to his
support many of the regular Republic
ans and four Democrats Ashurst,
Culberson, Hitchcock and Martlne.
The Democratic majority stood al
most solidly against any change in the
house bill that would threaten its de
feat. They declared that "tax on busi
ness" was clearly constitutional, while
an Income tax law had once been held
unconstitutional by the supreme court,
and might again suffer that fate, until
the states ratify the amendment to the
federal constitution.
Wool Bill in the House.
The senate's unexpected passage
of the La Folic tte wool bill presents a
situation upon which Majority Leadet
Underwood of the house thinks the
two branches of congress can agree,
Mr. Underwood said he thought there
would be little difficulty In reaching
a compromise. In this case a bill al
most Identical with the one President
Taft vetoed on Aug. 17, 1911, probably
will go to the White House within a
few weeks.
The former bill was vetoed on the
ground that tho tariff board had not
reported on Its Investigation of sched
ule "K." Leaders of both houses say
the La Follette bill follows the conclu
slons of the board quite closely.
Rodenburg Attacks Wilson.
Representative Rodenberg (Rep,
111.) made a political speech in the
house attacking Governor Wood row
Wilson..
Mr. Rodenberg quoted long extracts
from Governor Wilson's "History ol
the American People," In which the
writer referred to Thomas Jefferson
as an "aristocrat, who deliberately
practiced the arts of a politician," and
said that "Washington found him a
guide who needed watching."
Governor Wilson's writings on tha
immigration question, Mr. Rodenberg
reviewed at length. Mr. Rodenberg
quoted Governor Wilson's praise ol
Chinese and declared "that there must
have been rejoicing in every Chinese
laundry In the United States" when
the governor was nominated at Baltl
more.
Mr. Rodenberg concluded his speech
with praise for President Taft.
