Many of the na
tion's foremost cit
izens were in at
tendance. Capacity audiences will
doubtless be the rule at the beautiful
Iielaseo.
Asked wLy the Creation riioto
Drama is exhibited ia theatres. Pas
tor Itussell said: "Theatres are hetter
placid for the Drn ma of Creation than
churches, becau.-e Catholics do not
care to go to Protestant Churches, nor
Protectants to Catholic Churches, nor
Jews to either and all classes are in- i Laver they are tied, as it were, at the thing as he would choose. On the con
terested in the Drama, and it is for j Door of the antitypical Tabernacle; trarv. he must ask what the Lord
all."
Continuing, the Pastor said: "The
Photo-Drama is reaching far and
wide. The International Ilihle Stu
dents Association is supplying the
Drama, with its various accessories,
without charge, and the ptiHie, inter
ested ia r.ible Study, are paying fur
theatres in which it is shown.
"The Drama is going first to the lar
gest cities, hut many calls from small
places will have consideration in due
time."
Pastor Russell, as usual, delivered a
discourse, taking for his text: "I be
MHfh you. brethren, by the mercies of
God. that ye present your bodies a liv
Ing sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God
your reasonable service." Pom. 12:1
The 1 'a s tor began his discourse with
the declaration that the Apostle is not
addressing the world in general, hut
only thoso who he-hove that God sent
His Son into the world to dh? for ou
.sins, and who have taken the step of
trnsiin;: ia the blood of Christ n.s their
ICaLs-oiu-prk-o. Those the Apostle ad
Presses as brethren, not as sinners
The text, therefore, mav le applied
only to those who have been justified
by faith. These alone may have the
further opportunity of presenting their
bodies a living sacrifice, holy and ac
ceptah'e unto Cod.
The siK'aker reminded his hearers
that in the typical sacrifices, offered ac
cording to the instructions whi. h God
gave Israel through Moses, every ani
mal brought to the altar of the Lord
must le without blemish the Lord
thus indicating that no one who is in
an imperfect condition would be ac
ceptable to Him. lie then showed that
under the arrangement mad? for the
Church of the Gospel Age somethin
was done in order that the natural
blemishes of the consecrated might be
covered; for all were by nature chil
dren of wrath, even as the rest of tiie
world. That which was done lor them
was the forgiveness of their sins fig
uratively represented as the coverin
of the weaknesses of their flesh with
the robe of Christ's righteousness.
The Tabernacle a Picture.
The Pastor then refreshed the minds
of his audience with a description of
Israel's Tabernacle in the wilderness.
Cod gave that people Instructions
through Moses to construct that Tab
ernacle, not merely for their own con
venience in worshiping Him, but as n
type, or a picture., of Ills great Plan
for human salvation. The Tabcrnaclt
proper was built of hoards overlaid
with gold, and was covered with skins.
Around the Tabernacle was a Court
constructed of white linen curtains
hung n poles. In front of the Court
was the entrance, called the Gate.
P.etweeii the Gate and the Taber
undo were the llniy.cn Altar and the
Laver. The Altar was directly in front
of the Gate, i.nd on it the offerings
were ninde. The Laver was filled with
water for the washing of the hands
and the feet of the priests. Those
privileged to enter the court could not
reach the Tabernacle without passing
both the Altar ami the Laver. The
Tabernacle proper was iu two parts,
called the Holy and the Most Holy.
In the Holy were the Goldeu Candle
stick, the Table of Shew bread and the
Golden Altar. In the Most Holy was
the Ark of the Covenant, upon which
rested the Shekinah light.
Thus God pictured His great Plan of
salvation, declared the Pastor. k God"a
presence ' in the Tabernacle Was rep
resented by the Shekinah glory in the
31ost Holy. In the antitype, whoever
desires to draw near to God may b
r,ahl tiguratively to be going toward
the Tabernacle. In the type, the Altr.i
of sacrifice was directly inside of the
gate. In the antitype, no one can
draw near to God without first seeing
