Lincoln, April 28. Dr. Nostrum,
State veterinarian, is Jit Fulrbury,
where he Is examining ahont fifty
head of cattle which hav-s been placed
under quarantine. These cattle were
thipped from Elgin, 111., and are ol
the llolsteln breed. They were first
snipped to Concordia, Kan., via St.
Iouis, and from Concordia shipped to
Fail bury. This aroused the suspicions
of the state hoard of veterinarians,
with the result that Dr. Bostrom and
HO assistant tested the cattle and
found them afflicted with tuberculosis
The herd was ordered under quaran
tine.
It was to prevent such conditions as
this that the stale hoard of veterl
uaiiuns tried to have passed a bill
wjdeh would prevent shipments of this
Und. This bunch of cattle was
snipped In under the health certificate

was either Ignorant or negligent. In

PAINS OF HELL
EXPLAINED TO OS
Pastor Russell on Misconcep
tions of Bitlj's Teaching.
TRUTH AND BEAUTY HIDDEN
The Dangers of Ignoranct and Super
stition The Worship of Hypocrisy
and Fear Great Spurs God Seeks
Worship Only From the Reverential
and True-Hearted Popular Miscon
ceptions of Hell The Injury It His
Done and Is Doing True Christians
Should Awake to True Bible Study.
Pnterson. N. .1.,
April 27. - Pastor
Russell prenched
this afternoon in
the Opera House.
Ills topic was "Be
yond tho Grave."
We report his dls
course to Bible Stu
dents ou the text:
"The sorrows of
death compassed
me, and the pains
of hell gat hold up
on nie."-Ps. 110:3.
Opening his address, the Pastor apol
ogized for the selection of such 11 text.
He would much prefer to talk along
the lines of Christian clinracter-lmild-ing
and the necessity of growing in
grace, knowledge and love, and tun
becoming more und more copies of
God's dear Son. Ills apology was that
his text, a sample of many other Bible
statements, is so grievously misunder
stood as to stand In the way of Chris
tlau progress. In conjunction with
oilier .Scriptures, It was woven into
terrible theories during the Dark Ages.
Those theories became Imbedded In the
various creeds of the time, and so ob
structed the channels of thought that
the grace, truth and beauty of the Bi
ble were hidden. Many noble hearts,
lie claimed, are famishing for lack of
the refreshment of God's Truth, by
reason of the fossilized errors which
block the way.
"Perish For Lack of Knowledge."
The Scriptures foretell conditions ex
actly ns they nre today. They declare
that there shall be "a famine iu the
land not u famine of bread, nor a
thirst for water, but of hen ring the
Word of the Lo-d." (Amos 8:11.)
Again tho Scriptures declare. "My peo
ple nre destroyed for lack of knowl
edge." (Hosca 4:0.) It Is certainly true
that there nre as many honest-hearted,
conscientious, well-meaniug people
Iu the world today ns hove ever lived
pcrbnps more. Yet these wcll-tnean-ing
people are perishing, famishing,
for hick of spiritual nourishment.
True, there are sotuo who claim to be
well-nourished nnd to find In the popu
lar pulpits of the land all the spiritual
refreshment and strength they need.'
But these are ns nothing compared
with the millions who give a different
testimony. I am glad that those who
attend worship regularly, nnd ure well
nourished and well satisfied, have
what they desire, at the mouth of a
hundred thousand preachers. I am
reaching out after "the lost sheep of
tho bouso of Israel," through the secu
lar press. They tell me that 1 am reach
ing millions of the unchurched every
week. My renders are the discontent
ed, tho unsatisfied, perishing for lack
of knowledge, buugerlng and thirst
Ing after the right ways of God-the
real teachings of the Bible.
My heart goes out to those ns the
heart of Jesus went out to the same
class, nearly nineteen centuries ago.
We retfd. "He had compassion otr tho
multitude, for He beheld that they
were like sheep having no shepherd."
1 am seeking, as an undcr-ohepberd
to bring these hungering, thirsting.
perishing sheep to tho true "Shepherd
and Bishop of souls"-the Lord Jesus
I am seeking to remove from their
minds the prejudice find various oh
structlous which have hindered tho
flow of God's grace and truth to their
hearts. I am seeking In the Master's
name to present to them the Bread cf
Life, the Water of Life. Inm uot seek
ing to build up nnother denomination.
Results show a certain measure of
success already attained. I am rccelv
Ing more thau five thousand letters a
week from hungry sheep and others,
who, so far ns denominational Chris
tlan systems are concerned, are home
less. Everywhere all over the world
i-those Instead of forming a new de
nomination, are associating themselves
with Blblo classes for the study of
God's Word. I am simply doing all
in my power to help them out of dark
ness Into God's marvelous light out ot
misunderstandings of the Bible into
right appreciation of it; out of tgnor
ance Into a knowledge of God: out of
Ignorance of the Savior and Ills work
to a true knowledge of Illm aud His
glorious Kingdom, which Is yet to
bless all the families of tho earth.
It may bo Interesting to know that
whllo I am advertised by the news

The True-Hearted Should Rejoice.
One would suppose that all of the
one nnmireu thousand ministers mul
all their Hocks would rejoice to kn
that the unchurched, straying sheep nre
being reached with 11 Message of God's
Love and Mercy which Is appealing to
their hearts and working a transfornnt
tion lu their lives. Many do rejoice,
ut alas! a few are Jealous, as were
ime of the scribes and Pharisees of
esus day. or these we read. "They
ere grieved that He taught the peo
pie the people whom they could not
reach, the sheep that were straying
and tarnishing.
As those Jealous scribes and Phari
sees antagonized Jesus and the Apos
ties, because their hearts were out of
harmony with the Good Tidings, so It
is today with some. ' Unable to uphold
the doctrines which have driven uway
so matiy of the intelligent of their
Docks, famished for Truth, 11 few min
isters are angry with us. True to the
Master's prophecy, these seek to say all
manner of evil falsely against us, for
His sake, for the Truth's sake. Yet.
11 spite of their unchristian course, the
poor straying sheep are hearing and
recognizing thu Voice Divine, are coni
ng back to the Word of God. are being
inctilied by the Word of Truth.
I Proceed With My Text.
If this were t lie only text mlstrans-
ited and misunderstood, the ordinary
reader would doubtless puss It by, say-
ng, "I do not understand it. Probably
It is a figure of speech." But this text
merely a combination of mistransla
tions, all of which are connected with
u eternal torment system of doctrines
lveiited during (lie Dark Ages. It is
his combined system which has such
lower over mens tm nils ihis power
error, this power of fear, is turning
ntelligeiit minds away from the Bible.
Hence it Is our duty to break down the
ilsc doctrines, ami to clear, away the
obstacles which binder the flow of
Truth to the minds and hearts of the
icople of God -tho straying sheep
;or arc these straying sheen all, or
liletly (he Ignorant. They Include
many of the ahlcst minds and truest
carts in the world minds aud hearts 1
too true and (00 logical to believe pal
pable falsehoods, or to profess what ,
they do not believe
The Psalmist Is merely telling of hU
severe illness, frmu which by Ihe grace
f (Sod he recovered He would have
us understand thai It was 110I merely a
slight ailment tie described bis emo
tions in the language of our text, say
ing, "the sorrows of death compassed
me about"; (hal is to say, the sadness
ssoclated with the thought that he
was about to die. about to leave his
friends. In the poetic form of the He
brew language, he repeated this
thought; namely. "The pains or hell
gat hold upon me." In our modem
language Mils would mean the pains of
death, or the pains of the tomb. They
were pains that indicated the approach
of dissolution. Nothing lu this text
has the slightest reference to anything
lu the future life.
Our Baptist friends, in their revised
translation of the Bible, have chosen
for such passages ns this the expres
sion, "the underworld," Instead of the
word "hell." Yet even here there is
danger of tho average reader not catch
ing the true thought. Far simpler nnd
far less liable to be misunderstood.
would It have been, had the translators
said. "The pains of the tomb." The
Bcvlsed Version of the Kugllsh Bible
reads. "The pains of Sheol."
Why Not the Whole Truth?
livery learned minister knows that
the Hebrew word Sheol really means
the grave, the pit. ('' stato of death.
Why do they hesitate to tell the people
the whole truth on this subject? Why
do (hey translate it part of tho time
"the grave'' nnd nt other times "the
underworld"? Why do they use the
translation, "the gravo" In one place,
nnd "the pit" lu nnother, and then re
fuse to translate the word at all lu tho
third instance, but give the word
Sheol? Was it their intention to con
fuso the people? What Is tho motive?
We wish that some of these great men
would explain.
The Reason For All This.
We would like to have our minis
terial brethren state their reasons for
fursulng a course of hiding the truth
on the subject of hell. Only because
they neglect to give the reasons do we
feel at liberty to suggest them. It
seems to me that these ministers are
of two classes, and that their reasons
are therefore slightly different All
of them seem to agree that it would
be dangerous to tell the people that
God is really a God of Love, and that
tho doctrine of an eternity of torture
Is entirely unscrlptural. finding no
fouudatiou whatever In the writings of
the Apostles. '
They fenr to tell the people that
theso doctrines were built up during
the Dark Ages by the very men who
manifested so little of tho Spirit of
God and so little knowledge of God's
will respecting Ills people that they
burned one another ut the stake. They
fenr to toll Ihe people that during the
Dark Ages our blinded forefathers
took the parables and dark sayings of
Jesus ns literal statements, inlte con
trary to the Master's evident Inten
tion. These they supplemented with
certain crude misconceptions of the
symbolisms of The llevelatlon. From
the combinations they made scarecrow
doctrines, blasphemous lu the extreme,
which never produced saints, but which
led men astray into thinking that they
were copying God in the deviltry
which (hey accomplished one toward
another.
The fear now seems to be lest tin
public should once perceive that tin
creeds of Christendom, while contain
ing much good, nre cnirkered, wormj
and vitiated by those doctrines of de
uious. Why should they fear to tell
the people the truth? Perhaps it is be
cause the religion of our day Is built
so largely upon man-worship, system-worship,
creed-worship nnd uot
upon the Bible. Perhaps they fear
that If the creeds were thus discredited
it would mean that the ministers ol
those creeds will be similarly discred
ited. Perhaps they fear that the peo
pie would never again have confldenct
in their teachings, and that thus all
the various party walls of Christendom
which for so long a time have divided
the sheep would fall. We cannot derl
nitely know of their reasons, because
they do not tell us, we cau only sur
mise.
Others, very worldly-wise, have be
come nigher Critics, and do not believe
In the Bible nt all. They are really
agnostics. But they do not desire to
advertise their lack of faith, lest It
should detract from their esteem
among men. They prefer to pose ns
believers, nnd to hope that the time
will come when all (he wealthy and
Intelligent will become unbelievers
also Then they will declare. "We have
not been believers for many years, but
we kept the matter secret, fearing to
be misunderstood as opponeuts of the
best Interests of society."
All the while, this latter class con
stitutes the greatest menace In (he
world to law nnd order, nnd nre the
best agents Satan lias in making void
the Word of God and destroying faith
therein Kobert Imrersoll's methods
of antagonizing the llible were far less
successful than the methods of modern
Higher Critics nnd (Evolutionists.
Fear to Tell tho Truth.
All who oppose the telling to the
public of the plain truth respecting
hell seem to have one common ground
of objection. They say, "With all the
fear of hell (hat. has been preached
for centuries, see how wicked the
world Is and bow little human life is
worth! See bow every law of God
nnd mau for the protection of life and
purity nnd property Is endangered!
Note that If It were not for our tele
graphs, telephones and immense police
forces of today, nobody would be
safe, so much more wicked does the
world appear to have become within
the last fifty years! If the fear of
I eternal torment nnd of purgatory were
lifted from the minds of mankind.
I would it not make the dangers ten
fold greater than they are now? Would
it not speedily be necessary to double
our police force. If the masses lost their
belief iu a place of eternal torture?"
This Is lame reasoning,' It seems to
us It confesses In one breath, in
spite of all the false teachings of cen
turies, wickedness has been growing.
Would It uot be wise to Inquire to
what extent the false doctrines, the
misinterpretations and mistranslations
of the Blhle, have been responsi
ble for the increase in wickedness?
Are men wiser than God? is It pos
sible for mnn to Invent some mon
strous, unthinkable delusion which
will have a greater power with men,
than the plain, simple Message of
God's Love?
But If we were sure that by blas
pheming God's boly name and by
playing upon the ignorance and super
stition of the masses we could make
the wicked preserve pence, would it
be wise to do so? Could God's bless
ing be expected upon such a course?
Woajd it .not be : wiser for us. as the
P-'P f od. ha faith, n m
aud to trust that, while wo faithfully
present tho Truth, Dlvino Providence
will oversee nnd overrule its effect,
and will Influence for good?
Experience proves that theirs is not
tho proper thought. When we go to
the records of the various prisous, pen
ltentlarles, etc., we find that nearly nil
the worst criminals have been taught
tho doctrine of eternal torment. Many
of them confess full faith in It. On
the other hand, many Infidels once
violent opposers of God und of the Bi
bio and Christianity after hearing of
the Love of God, have thoroughly melt
ed, and with tears in their eyes have
become loyal soldiers of the cross,
We heard of nn interesting case re
cently. A colored man in prison for
crime, somehow came lu touch there
with my sermons, and then with my
books on Bible 6tudy. He became a
thorough Bible student, and a master
at handling the Word of God. His
fellow-prisoners came gladly to hear
this colored man preach the Divine
Tlan of the Ages from God's Word,
while they cared uot at all to attend
the chapel services addressed by the
ordinary chaplain.
In the "wonderful words of life,"
started by the Master's lips, and hand
ed down through Ills Apostles, there Is
a sweetness, beauty und power that
cannot be associated with tho doctrines
of demons, which became attached to
the Message during tho Dark Ages.
The Message of life everlasting,
through the Redeemer aud by obe
dience to Him, has its offset, or alter
native. In death everlasting to those
who refuse to obey nfter full enlighten
ment. Eternal life Is tbe gift of God
tendered to nil tho willing nnd obe
dient. through tho Messiah. All rebels
will be destroyed lu the Second Death
(Acta 3:23.) Their punishment will not
be everlasting torment, but "everlast
ing destrnctlon"-a destruction from
which they will never be recovered
will never be resurrected
BRYAN ARRIVES
IN SACRAMENTO
What the Message He Brings
May Be Pozzies Caliiornians.
STATE LEADERS DETERMINED,
Bill Making Japanese Ineligible to
Hold Land to Be Passed Question
of Effect Visit Will Have on State's
Rights Is Raised.
Sacramento, Cal., April 28. In def
erence to Secretary of State Bryan,
vvl 0 arrived in Sacramento this morn
lug to confer with Governor Johnson
and the legislature on the proposed
anti-alien land laws, it has been de
lided to make no plana for the confer
tnces until Mr. Bryan has signified the
purpose of his visit.
Governor Johnson met with Attor
ney G'Mteral Webb and a dozen of the
administration leaders in the legisla
ture for a general discussion of th
situation with regard to Secretary
Bryan's visit,, but no course of action
was proposed. Governor Johnson said
afterward that everything hinged npen
the desire of the state's visitor. .
"I cannot tell when our conferences
will be held with Secretary Bryan, or
what their nature will be, whether
public or private," said the governor.
"In the matter of arrangements of
that kind we are agreed that Mr. Bry
an's wishes will be scrupulously and
cheerfully observed, whatever they
may be."
Joint Meeting May Be Called.
There is much speculation as to the
form the ollicial visit will take and the
manner which Secretary Bryan will
choose to impart his message from
President Wilson.
It is generally agreed that If the
secretary of state is possessed of in
formation of a private diplomatic char
acter he will disclose it only to the
governor or to an executive meeting
of the two houses of the legislature sit
ting together. That such a joint meet
ing would he called at his request, Is
indicated by the statements of Govern
or Johnson and others.
There are many, however, who be
Hove the secretary comes only to pro
test openly in the name of the federal
government, against a violation of any
treaties of the United States, and that
he will be content with the formal
presentation of such protest. In eith
or case, he would address the houses
separately or in joint session.
Mr. Bryan arrived at 6 o'clock and
was met at the train by Governor
Johnson, whose invitation to be a
guest at the executive mansion he had
accepted.
Secretary Bryan's expressed desire
to waste no time will be heeded, and
if necessary he will be able to present
his views this afternoon. If they con
cern the legislature, Governor John
son will send immediate official mes
sages.
Alien Land Cill to Be Passed.
It was stated by a number of ad
ministration leaders that the dispo
sition to pass an alien land law re
stricting aliens who are "ineligible to
citizenship remains unchanged. It will
be necessary for Mr. Bryan to change
the present views of the majority it
the bill is to be killed. Senator Thorn p
son has completed his final draft ot
his new bill, which is to be presented
to Secretary Bryan as the concrete ex
pression of the sentiment of the ma
jority.
It Is brief and makes no attempt to
dodge the point at Issue the Inellgl
bllity of the Japanese. Under its terms
no alien who is ineligible to become a
citizen may hold land for a period
long than one year under penalty of
having the property escheat to the
state. Leases are limited to three
years.
Another cause of much speculation,
aside from the probable contents ot
Secretary Bryan's message, was the
ultimate effect his visit might have
upon the relationship of the Individual
states with (he national government
Attorneys in the legislature wlu
make a study of international law de
clare the occasion is fraught with deep
significance, and that it may give rise
to an entirely new interpretation ot
the ancient theory of state's rights.
