An Illinois evchange gives the following- account of what hap pened to a family too stingy to take their home paper. He says: "We once khew a man who was too stingy to take the news paper in his home town and al ways went over to borrow his neighbor's paper. One evening he sent his son over to borrow the paper, and while the son was on the way he ran into a large tland of bees and in a few min utes his face looked like a sum mer squash. Hearing the agonized cries of the son, the father ran to his assistance and in doing so ran into a barbed wire fence, cutting a handful of tlesh from his anatomy and ruining a $4 pair of trousers. The old cow took advantage of the hole in the fence, got into the cornfield and killed herself eat ing green corn. Hearing the racket, the stingy man's wife ran out of the house, upsetting a four-gallon churnfull of cream Into a basket of kittens, drowning the whole flock. She slipped -on the cream and fell downstairs, breaking her leg'and a ?19 set of false teeth. The baby, left alone, crawled through the spilled cream into the parlor and ruined a $40 carpet. Dur ing the excitement the daughter eloped with the hired man, tak ing the family savings bank with them." :o: The country "hayseed" is a favorite joke for the city papers and impecunious space writers of the dailies love to portray the tiller of the soil as a man who never saw much and knows less. Were it not for the farmers, the receipts of the fair would be mighty slim and he does not make a holy show of himself either, as the writers try to make out. The pale cadavers who write harmless, soulless lies such as the above to please simple folks like themselves, could not get a living on a quar ter section of the best land in the country if it were donated to them with improvements, stock and tools. So limited is their reading and their powers of ob servation that they have not learned that the American farm produces the best all around man in the world. :o: Rural route carriers have had a strenuous lime of it the past ten days. Hut wait until the 50 pound parcel post limit goes into efTect. Farmers can then order a sack of flour or afny old thing tljat doesn't weigh over fifty pounds. Babies may be sent to relatives anywhere within the prescribed zone and if they should be mistreated the mail carrier can be. sued for damages :o: And now some of our good re publican exchanges are lambast ing the democrats because every thing is so high in price. He fore the election of President Wilson these same papers pre dicted that in the event of his election everything would run so low that it would not pay to pro duce anything whatsoever. The world do move! :o: When Speaker Clark took the floor the other day to say a few things for the currency bill, he took the hair and hide both off the calamity howling republicans who have attempted to obstruct legislation. This is a thing Champ can do nicely when the occasion demands a strenuous remedy. Hon. W. II. , Thompson of Grand Island, chairman of the democratic state central com mittee, says he is not a candid ate for governor, and does not intend to be, either. That's de cisive,. :o: A Chicago youth has been ar rested for misuse of the mails in the sale of "Thirteen Ways for Flirting." It is surprising that anyone should have such a feel ing of insufficiency as to pay for such instruction. :o: The marvel where all the money conies from for auto mobiles remains unsolved. In eight months of this year 130, 000 machines have been licensed in the stale .of New York, a gain of 30,000 over last year. At the present rate of licensing the total number in the Empire state licensed in the calendar year will approach 200,000, and more probably exceed that, for the rate is increasing all the time. When a single factory turns out 1,000 a day this newest of large in dustries attains proportions dif ficult to comprehend. :o: Postmaster General Burleson has submitted to the interstate commerce commission a schedule of rates which has for its object the admission to the parcel post of books and printed matter. Within a few weeks the commis sion will make public the i-esultf of its investigation of the sched ule, and presumably the post master general will take action accordingly. The evlension ol the parcel post should prove onr uf the most significant since the establishment of the system. Up to the present time the service has presented the paradox of ac cepting for transportation a? cheap rates merchandise gen erally and declining to accept printed matter except at the reg ular old exorbitant rates. There has never, of course, been any logical reason why books anc printed matter should not re ceive the benefit of the reduction? n postal rates. The tariff now charged is unreasonable. The many new features added to the parcel post service by Postmastei General Burleson give promise that this branch will, during hi administration, in all probability, witness its perfection. :o: One of our exchanges most truthfully says that the telephone girl sits in her chair and listens to voices from everywhere. She knows who is happy and who has the blues; she. knows all our sor rows; she knows all our joys; she knows every girl that is chasinf the boys; she knows of our troubles; she, knows of our strife; she knows every man whe is mean to his wife; she knows every time we arc out with the boys; she hears the excuses each fellow employs; in fact there's a secreat 'nealh each saucy curl of that quiet, demure looking tele phone girl. ' If the telephone girl would tell all she Knows it would turn all our friends into bitterest foes; she would: sow a small wind that would soon be a gale, engulf us in trouble and land u? in jail; she would let go her stor which (gaining in force) would cause half our wives to sue for divorce; she would get all the churches mixed up in a fight and turn all days into sorrow and night; in fact, she could keep the whole town in. a stew if she told the tenth of"lhe things thai sht knew. Now don't that set your head in a whirl when you think what you owe the telephone girl? PARCEL POST HERE TO STAY. Working smoothing and handl ing an immense volumne of busi ness, the parcel post service in connection with the United States mail service, is a certain proof that the government can success fully operate public utilities at reduced cost and still on a pay ing basis. Express companies, in recent reports, show a falling off in their business of from 25 to DO per cent, chargeable directly to the fact that the people arc preferring to use their own method of parcel transportation in preference to paying a premium to a private institution for doing the work. Public ownership and opera tion of public utilities is a theory so often advanced and so strenu ously debated that one hesitates to open up a discussion. But the theory is so sound that dis interested thinkers are gradually coming over to the proposition, despite the calamity prophecies of the private owners and oper ators. Every man who produces some thing for the benefit of his com munity whether it be food, manu factured products, a book or an idea, is entitled to a reward for his labor. This applies to the man who performs necessary and useful work in transportation or supplying of needed commodities to other individuals. But the pro ducer should be entitled only to a profit comesirate with the service rendered. It should not be possible in the ideally ordered economic society for any one in dividual to amass as large a for tune as many operators of these utilities have accumulated simply by exacting an unreasonably high reward for service rendered. Attempts to regulate charges in connection with public utilities held by private individuals have signally failed in almost every instance. The one successful method seems to be to take over the business into the hands of I he government and operate it on a sound, self-supporting basis, giving the patrons the benefit of the reduction. In this way em ployment iR furnished to just as many workers and it is possible to pay an even higher wage and still keep costs down, as the par cel post experiment is demon strating. The working out of this change is sure to be gradual, and this is far safer than a sweeping revision, but the change seems certain to come, and to prove a decided change for the better, interests of the nation as a whole. :o:- It will soon be 191 i. That will be the beginning of an eventful year in politics in Nebraska. So far neither one of the parties are veil equipped for battle, and al most a complete re-organization of the forces will have to be ex pected. If the democrats expect success there must be something done to combine the factions, and the sooner this work is started the better it will be for all con cerned. It cannot be done by the harsh means of attempting to whip them into line, nor can it be done by one faction attempt ing to treat another faction "with silent contempt," as some ex press it. And the sooner this manner of dealing is lost sight of the sooner we come to the front in one solid phalanx. ? :o: - According to the report of the coroner's of New "York City there are 5,087 deaths in that city during 1912 attributed directly to crime and accident. '-About half of these were violent deaths caused by accident, and -the other half to crime, such as shooting, (Stabbing, assaults, self-inflicted wounds, etc. This is the toll in human life demanded by a great crowding, crushing mass of hu manity, living, working and traveling on the surface, in the air and under ground; the price that is paid for the privilege of living in a great cosmopolitan city. HOMAGE TO HOLY NAMpOF JESUS Jesus the Center of God's Fa vors for Church and World. DIVINE PLAN EXPLAINED. Th Foundation of Blessings Was Laid at Calvary God's Favor to tha EUct Began at Pentecost It Will Culmi nate at Jesus' Second Coming Then Will Begin the Blessing of the Non Elect Christ and His Church Will Reign a Thousand Years A Royal Priesthood For the Restoration of the World to Human Perfection. The Wilfully Wicked Shall Be De stroyed In the Second Death. Philadelphia. Fa.. Dec. 28. Tastor Russell preached here twice today, to a crowded house, as usual. We report one of his discourses from the text. "I hare 8 w o r n by Myself that unto Me every knee shall bow. every tongue shall fTftSTQR. RUSSELL) ' swear." (Isaiah 4323.) Pastor Kussell sahl in part: The Scriptures declare that nt the name of Jesus every knee shall bow and every tongue confess, to the glory of Cod. Our careless reading of this pas sage has led some to assume that the bowing knee and the confessing tongue will be a mere formality while hearts are still in rebellion. Rut n careful reading notes the fact that these nets will be to the glory of Cod. Further, We find our text quoted in the New Testament with the assurance that ev ery knee and every tongue will Include those In Heaven as well ns those on earth, (Tblllpplans 2:10, 11.) In other words, the glory of Jesus and the great work which, as the Father's Repre sentative, lie will yet accomplish, will bring Ilim fame, glory and homage amongst angels and men. The question arises, When will this be. and how will it be brought about? Nearly nineteen centuries hare passed since Jesus came into the world to be man's Redeemer, and as yet com paratively few knees bow and few tongues confess, on earth, to the glory of God. although we do know that Jesus has already been highly exalted In the Heavens. The Father's pro phetic statement has already been fulfilled. "Let all the angels of God do Him homage." Hebrews 1 .. Sufferings First and Glory Afterward. Human theorizing has led us in the past Into grievous misunderstanding of the Divine Word and Tlan. It seems necessary for the people of God to first realize to some extent the confusion and error into which we unwittingly drifted and to feel heartily ashamed of our unreasonable conclusions hu man creeds. Many are now reaching the place where in anguish of heart the cry goes up for the Bread of Life and the Water of Life the Truth the cor rect understanding of God's Word. Some have already reached this con dition, and others are gradually com ing to It But alas, still others, caught in the snare of the Adversary, have had their faith dashed to pieces upon the rocks of Higher Criticism and Evolution. The central teaching of the Bible Is that the death of Jesus was necessary as man's redemption-price. This is clearly set forth by Jesus and the Apostles, as it was previously shown In the types of the Law, that "without the shedding of blood there is no re mission of sins." The worldly-wise scoff at the thought that the shedding of blood Is necessary to man's for giveness and the rolling away of the curse. But perhaps some of our objections have been illogical, for many have not stopped to think that the phrase, "shedding of blood," Is merely an other way of snying a sacrificial death. Then. too. our minds were prejudiced by the unreasonable theories of the past which claimed that the death of the Creator was necessary for the can celation of the sins of His creatures. But the Bible presents no such illog ical statement It assures us that the penalty upon our race was neither eternal torture nor purgatorial suffer ing, but "Dyiug. thou shalt die"; that this sentence of death was placed apon Father Adam, and by process of heredity came down through six thou sand years to us his legacy of evil, sorrow, weakness, alienation from God. death. Is not the Bible logical in its decla ration that the Supreme Judge could not set aside the death sentence of His own Court and yet be Just? It Adam a a sinner was unworthy of eternal life and died under that sen tence, be Is no more worthy now. Moreover, his children, inheriting his sin and weaknesses, are no more wor thy of life than , was he. There can be no forgiveness of Original Sin and no one can be granted a second oppor tunity for life everlasting except by a redemption n payment of the original penal tyi As from the first God designed one Redeemer for the race, so He provided that only Father Adam should be on trial, and that only he should be sen tenced. . Thus God prepared the way for redemption that "as by a man i If ( came death, by a man also should come the resurrection of the dead; for as all in Adam die, even so all In Christ shall be made alive every man in his own order" the Church being of the first order, or resurrection. 1 Corinthians 15:21-2.1. Not the Father, but the Son, Died. When we get rid of the foolish, Tin scrlptural idea that Jesus was His rvn father, we can understand the Tncts. The neavenly Father did not die for man's sin, nor did He compel Ills Son to die for us. On the contrary, the Scriptures assure us that He presented the matter to the. Son, and that the lat ter voluntarily carried out the work. Nor was this contract without reward. For the Joy set before Him our Lord endured the cross, despising the shame, und is now glorified at the right band of the Heavenly Father. (Hebrews 12:2.) The Logos was created a spirit being not a man, a human being and could not be man's Redeemer ex cept by leaving Ills glorious spirit plane and becoming a man "the Man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself a Ran som for nil." 1 Timothy 2:o. ft. In the past we have been too cr.re less In our study of the Bible. Now we see that the word Ransom, antilutron in the Greek, signifies a corresponding price. And this is what was necessary for man's redemption, and what Jesus provided. As bulls and goats could not be a corresponding price because of In feriority to man, so an angel, or even the glorious Logos Himself, could not have ransomed man. could not le n corresponding price, because not on the same plane of being. Thus tbe Scrip tures explain that It was necessary for the Logos to become a perfect man In order to efTect the ransom of Father Adam, giving a corresponding price for his human life. How simple it nil Is when we accept the plain statements of God's Word! Knowing that the Scriptures tell that God has provided redemption for the whole world ia Christ. Christian pople have been trying to make themselves believe that the entire world has been blessed through Christ ever since Ho died, "the Just for the unjust" Some even go so far as to imagine that in some way or other He must have ac complished some blessing of the mil lions who died during the four thou sand years before He tasted death for every man. How foolish we were In trying thus to deceive ourselves! I'lalu honesty would have helped us all a great deal. We should have said, it Is plain enough that the millions of the four thousand years before Christ died got no bless ing through Him; and that the masses of humanity, including the hundreds of millions of heathen, during the nine teen centuries since He died have re ceived no blessing from Him. In hon esty we must confess that none except the Church class have yet received a blessing from the hands of Jesus. After making this candid admission, we should have looked more carefully Into the Bible for an explanation, and no doubt we would the sooner have become enlightened; but. deluding our selves and claiming that nil mankind are having a fair trial, we have In creased our darkness. Dishonesty Is never advantageous. It is especially disadvantageous when exercised along the lines of religion. Now, as we be come more honest with ourselves and the facts, the darkness begins to flee away; and the truo teaching of the Bible begins to shine out luminously. "The Election Obtained It." St Paul draws our attention to the fact that God proffered certain great blessings to the Jewish people in their Law Covenant which they were un able to acquire because of inherited weaknesses common to mankind. He tells us that when Jesus came, Israel's testing came; and that in rejecting Him they rejected the chiefest of God's blessings, but did not cut them selves off entirely from His favor; for God's gifts and calling to Israel have not been abrogated. He says, "Israel hath not obtained that which he seek eth for the highest favor of God; but the Elect obtained it. and the rest were blinded." Romans 11:7. nere we have the key. God is mak-. Ing an election, or selection, from amongst mankind. He desires a Little Flock of extremely faithful, self-sacrificing, saintly ones, to be Joint-heirs with their Redeemer In a great work which Divine Wisdom and Love have lafd out for Him. This Little Flock, the Elect, are to be "Heirs of God and Joint-heirs with Jesus Christ" their Lord, in the Messianic Kingdom. That Kingdom, when set up In great power and glory, invisible to men, yet all-powerful in their midst will bring to pass all the glorious promises of the Bible. St Peter declares that at tbe Second Coming of Jesus will come Times of Restitution, times of bless ing mankind in his earthly home, tnrn Ing It into a paradise and bringing mankind back into the image and like ness of God. That great work is to 9 done by the Elect The Christ Jesus the Head and the Church Ills Body Jesus the Bridegroom and tbe Church His Bride. Bride Makes Herself Ready. The work of electing the Church has been an Individual one, requiring thus far nearly nineteen centuries. But God, who Is rich in Wisdom, is using the various members of the Church during this period as His ambassa dors, as His servants, to call one an other, to build one another up in the most holy faith. Thus, ns the Scrip tures declare, the Bride is to make herself ready for the union with the Heavenly Bridegroom, which Is to be accomplished nt Ills Second Coming, when she shall have experienced the change in the First Resurrection to Heavenly nature and Kingdom; for "flesh and blood cauaot inherit the Kingdom of Gcd." Now, as Bible students, we are be ginning to get the eyes of onr under standing opened to the grievous mis take which our forefathers made and handed down to us. Tbe mistake was In supposing that the Elect would be all that would be saTed of the human family, and in not seeing that the Elect, now being called, are to consti tute God's New Creation, not only far higher thap perfect men. but higher than angels and cberubUu. In other words, God took advantage or the reign of Sin and Death amongst hu manity to select from amongst the re deemed bnman family some Jewels of character, to constitute wbat He terms a royal diadem in the hand of our Lord. With the completion of this diadem class, this Royal Priesthood class, this class that Is to be made partakers of the Divine nature In the First Resur rection, the work of God for the hu man family will be only beginning: whereas we once supposed that there it would have ended. We now see that not until the Elect shall be glori fied will God's blessing even wgin to come to the non-elect all of whom, as Adam's children, were redeemed by the precious blood of Christ Only the Elect have been dealt with thus far. The great mass of mankind, blinded and deafened, through the be wildering influence of error, have been led captive by Satan at his will. Only the comparatively few have escaped the condemnation which Is upon the world, by accepting Christ and le coming members of the New Creation through Hlra. ' Messiah's Campaign Beginning. When we get the right focus on the subject we perceive that Messiah's great campaign against the reign of Sin and Death is only beginning. The Bible informs us what His procedure will Iks. First the Redeemer will take unto Himself His great power and begin His reign. Second, the first work of His Reign will le the binding of Satan for a thousand years. Then will follow the scattering of Igno rance and superstition fostered by the Prince of Darkness. The great Prince of Glory, ns the great Sun of Right eousness, will shine forth to chase the darkness away. The Redeemer Himself tells ns that the Church will le with 1 1 an. parts of that Sun of Righteousness, that glorl ous Kingdom of God so long promised and prayed for: "Thy Kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth, as It Is done in Heaven." "Then shall the righteous shine forth ns the sun In the Kingdom of their Father." Matthew 13:13. Satan is an enemy of God and of righteousness, and his destruction Is foretold. But, from the Bible stand point, man Is not to he so considered. In an official, or legal way all sinners are enemies toward God ami toward righteousness. In that they have done wicked works. But in reality, as the Bible points out and as our experiences confirm, mankind are not enemies of righteousness and of God. but simply blinded, confused captives and slaves of Satan. Sin and Death. It Is In recognition of this that God provided a redemption for Adam and his nee. In recognition of this also God has provided for the thousand years of Messiah's glorious Reign. During this period Adam and all mankind will have an opportunity of coming to life everlasting and to the earthly, bnman perfection, lost by disobedience, and redeemed by the precious blood of Jesus. Do we not see, then, that as this Gospel Age has been the time for se lecting the elect class, so the Mes sianic Age. which Is to follow this, will be the period In which the Elect with Jesus as their Head will bless all the non-elect? as God declared to Abra ham, saying. "In thee and In thy Seed shall all the families of tbe earth be blessed." (Galatlans 3:8. Itt. 20.) God s blessing through Messiah's Kincdom will not mean to the M-orld Joint-helr-ship with Christ or the Divine nature, or a seat In the Throne. But It will mean a full opportunity for thorough enlightenment and for full assistance ont of all the bondage of sin and death Into the glorious liberty of the aons of God everlasting life. The Battle and the Battlers. Jesus, the Captain of our salvation, was the first great Victor In conflict with Sin. Satan. Death. He was crowned because of Ills loyalty to God and Ills faithfulness even nnto death. His victory was won by dying a martyr. Similarly, all of Ills fol lowers of this Gospel Age mnt prove their loyalty unto death. If they would Ie Ills associates In the Messianic Kingdom. For nineteen centuries Satan. Sin and Death hare seemed to triumph; while In renllty, from the Divine stand point Christ and His Church were tri umphing. Their triumph will be man ifested in the First Resurrection, when will occur tbe "General Assembly of the Church of the First-borns, written In Heaven." Then the battle will take on a new phase. No longer will the victor die. but the foes will perish. During the thousand years of Christ's Reign. He will put down sin and death. projortlonately lifting up mankind from under their weights and bnrdens back to human perfection. In Ills Day. the righteous shall flourish, and the evil-doer shall be cut off in tbe Second Death. How grand the program! What honor and glory It reflects upon the Creator, who formed the Tlan: upon tbe great Redeemer who Is the Executor of that Plan; and upon the Church of the First-borns, who Are to be associates with the Redeemer la the execution of that Plan! Finally the glorious con summation will be reached. All Igno rance will have Ts.nisbed. Sin and death will be no more. Wilful evil doers will all be destroyed. Then v. ery knee will bow, and every tonjTse Srtll confess, to the glory of God, Local News William I'nl. r.. and .laugh ter. Mi-.
