CliEton. Iowa, July 5. One of three big conven tions of the 1. B. S. A. closed its sessions of eight days here today in thu Coliseum with an julJress by Pastor Ilusseil in the afternoon find the exhibition in the evening of Part IV of the ! Pastor's famous Photo-Drama of Creation. The other Conventions have been in session throughout the week at Asbury Park, N. J.. and Columbus. Ohio. Taster Kussell. President of the Association, being in attendance at ecch. Delegates to the number of about D.000 have par ticipated in the proceedings of the Conventions, and the results of the week are regarded as being among the most favorable in the history of the Association. The Photo-Drama of Creation, which lias already been exhibited in over one hundred cities at home ojkI is now run ning abroad also, was an interesting feature of the evening sessions of the three Conventions. Creation's Drama depicts Solomon's Temple in its va rious stages of preparation, showing the stone quarries under Jerusalem, t!)e cellar forests in Lebanon, and de tails incident to its erection and dedi cation. This wonderful Temple fur nished the basis for several New Testa ment descriptions of the antitypical Temple of God the Church of Christ. The Temple, both type and antitype, was Pastor Russell's theme today. His text was. "The Temple of God is holy, which Temple ye are." 1 Cor. 3:17. The Pastor declared that both St Paul and St. Peter are our authority for saying that the CLurch which is the Body of Christ is the Temple cf God. and that His Temple is holy. God, who condemned the whole world in Adam, and who has declared that He will have no fellowship with sin ners, has provided a way by which tliese sinners can come back into har mony with Him. Only through the ar rangement which He has made in re spect to this great Temple can man kind come back into harmony with their Creator. St. Paul points out the foundation of this great antitypical Temple, saving. "Other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ." St. Peter declares to the Church. "Ye also, as living stones, are built up a spiritual House, an holy Priesthood, to offer up sacriQces. ac ceptable to God through Jesus Christ" Then the speaker showed that Solo mon's Temple was a type, or Cgure, of this greater Temple which God is erecting. Solomon's Temple had sev eral peculiarities connected with its construction. One very special peculi arity was that the great stones were taken out from underneath the site of the Temple. Another peculiarity was that each stone was made to ft exactly the place in which it was to be located, and then numbered and marked with signs which the builders understood. This method is followed by modern builders also; and when a building is constructed, every part is put in place quietly and orderly no confusion whatever. So it was in Solo mon's Temple! The stones were made ready befow they were brought thith er, so that there was neither hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron heard in the house while it was being built. The Living Stones of the Great Temple. After having described the Temple ot Solomon as a type, the i 'aster pro ceeded to discuss the antitype the Church of the living God. The Builder and .Maker is God. he declared. The quarry is the world in general. The living stones are taken out of the world, separated lrom the world, but j are chiseled and polished in this anfi typical quarry, made ready for their fxtsitions. and then taken to their prop er place. For more than eighteen hun dred years this work of preparation has been going on. Jesus was the Foundation Stone. llefore He came there were no stones prepared; none could he accepted until He had come and died, "the Jiut tor the unjust." Then the process of cutting, chisel ing and polishing the "living stones" of the Temple was explained. Each con secrated Christian has had experiences ot such a nature as to .separate him from the world. It was a dithcult matter to block out character and to bring each to the place where be would Ik' separated trom bis surroundings. Still riiore dithcult In some respects have lieeii the chisHings. Mow after blow, t-xperience after experience, trial ntt-r trial, in order that each living stone might be shaped, fitted and pre pared for a place in that glorious Tem ple which is yet to be constructed. Tii! ritiijKUini; i rex-ess has also been i nru m JPSTQg. gUS5ELt) going on.' 'As the Scriptures express It. the Bride makes herself ready. Each, living stone polishes others. The Pastor here drew a lesson for those who are following in the steps of Jesus. He pointed out that while various severe experiences, trials and tests may come from the world, yet the very finest polishing is produced by contact with the brethren. There fore whoever learns to love the breth ren and to endure all their various weaknesses and imperfections, r,nl is rightly exercised by these experiences, will receive a fine polish that which our Lord through His Word describes as the fruitage of the Holy Spirit. "The fruits of the Spirit are manifest. Which are these: meekness, gcnt!eiies-s. patience, long-suffering. brotherly kindness, love." If these things be in us in abundance, we shall be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of the Lord. And so it is that an en trance shall be ministered unto us abundantly into the everlasting King dom of our Lord and Savior. Construction of Antitypical Temple. Kext the construction -f the anti typical Temple was discussed. Eight een hundred years ago the fuuiuhuion was laid in Ileaven the Top Stone, as the Apostle says. All the other stones must be fitted up i:.to liim. ac cording to St Paul. In describing the antitypical Temple the Apctle here uses the Cgure of the pymmid. tho t p stone of which is a miniature pyramid, all remaining stones being titled to come into line with it. Sj the Scrip tures declare that Jesus is the Chief Corner Stone, the Top Stone, into whom the Church, as living atones. i are being built up. instead of being j shaped to a foundation below them. The .speaker showed that this will be accomplished in the Piit Resurrection, vrhea the Church, changed into spirit beings like the Lord, will be built up and completed with llim on the Heav enly plane, far above angeis, principal ities and powers, and every name that is named. To the Pastor's understanding of the Scriptures, the building of tlie antitypi cal Temple will be dote at the cioe f this Gospel Age. Just as in the construction of Solomon's Temple, all the materials were first prepared, and then the building began, so it wi'l be with the antitypical Temple. Ourgre.it Alaster Workman has been gtttln: ready the "living stone.-,"' supervising their preparation under strict rules as to shape, size, quality, etc. This work has been going on throughout this Gos pel Age, and not until the full number of stones shad have been made ready will the construction of that glorious Temple begin. This construction will be the Resurrection ch e "Char.g in a moment, in the twirddir.g of an eye"; for "flesh and b!o"d cannot in herit the King-Join of God." Pastor Russell then showed that since we are cow living in the close of this Age, the sto:.es for the antityp ical Temple must practically all be fin ished. Therefore he inclines to the thought that the work of construction of the Temple has already begun. This does not imply, however, that the final polish has been given to all of the stones. Those long since prepared could be put in place while the last stones were receiving the finishing touches. He declared that the Scrip tures so intimate when they say that "the dead in Christ shall rise first" beforehand and that "then we who are alive and remain shall be caught cp together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord." The fact that some are not yet "caught up to meet the Lord." but are stid in the place cf pol ishing and preparation, indicates that the Temple i. not yet completed. After every living stone has been placed in the great antitypical Temple, the glorification of the Temple will follow. In the type. King Solomon, type of our Lord Jesus, offered the sacrifice, and God accepted it; then the glory of the Lord tilled the Temple. So in the antitype, the Church in glory will not be the Temple cf God until the Heavenly Father Himself shall have recognized it. It is the work of our Lord Jesus Christ the great Mas ter Workman, to ' shape and polish these living stones, to remove them to glorious conditions by the resurrection change, and to build the Temple. Then, when all is fir.ished. not a stone lack ing. He will await the Father's accept ance. The glory of the Lord God will fill this living Temple. "A House of Prayer For All Nations." The Pastor then showed the purpose for which this glorious Temple of God is being constructed. Back in the Law Dispensation the required information was pictorially set forth in types and shadows. The Prophet Isaiah had foretold that God's House was to be called a House of Prayer for all na tions. This was what the Temple at Jerusalem was in particular. It was arranged in different sections, repre senting various classes, as it were. First in importance was the Most Holy, then came the Holy, then the Court into which Jews might come, next the Women's Court last the Court of the Gentiles. Thus was depicted the Millennial Age after the glorification of the antitypical Temple. God will be in that Temple the en tire Church of Christ glorified. The Divine Power will operate through it and all nations will begin to draw near to God. But in order to do so, they must draw near to this Temple; for the glory of God will be therein displayed. All nations, both Jew and Gentile, will come to the Heavenly Father through this Temple. Another Old Testament picture which the Pastor explained was that of the typical priesthood. The Priests of this new Temple of the future will be Jesus, the great High Priest, and nis Church, the under-prie-sts. Jesus will be both King and Priest a Priest upon His Throne" after the Order of Melchi7cdek. Our Lord Is i.ot yet upon IT!- T!.rono. but reni-ilu- waiting at the ri,iit hand of the Majes ty on High, until the antityp1 Tem- j pie is completed. The Fathers right hand signities the place of chief favor, j next to the Father Himself. As it is ! written. "Sit at My right hand, until I make Thine enemies Thy footstool." During this period of waiting, the "living stones" of the Temple have been prepared; those who will consti tute the Royal Priests have been in training for the duties of their oflice. As yet there is no Royal Priesthood; for only those who shall be declared worthy to sit with our Lord in His Throne will constitute with Him that Priesthood. Again, it is written. "Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the First Resurrection; on such the Second Death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God, and shall reign with Christ a thousand years." The Pastor then declared that these future Priests are also Knights of the Temple. While at present they do not wear white plumes, yet by and by they shall wear, not only white plumes, but white raiment. Our Lord has said, "They shall walk Avith Me in white; for tlioy are worthy." Other Pictures of the Temple. Various New Testament references to the Church of Christ as a Temple were thou explained. One of these was St. Paul's question addressed to the Corinthian Church: "What? Know I ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you? It was shown that this question does not apply to the world; for by nature the world knows not God. The- are still under condemnation "children of wrath" according to Scripture. God has not yet begun to deal with them. r.or to give them the blessings which He has purposed for them. During this Gospel Age He is dispensing bless ir.gs only to the Church class, to those who have received of the Holy Spirit. Pastor Russell then pointed out that bevond the veil the Church class will receive the Holy Spirit without meas uro. when ail the "living stones" con stituting the Temple of God will have been gioritied. But on this side of the veil, those who give up their will to the Lord and who are accepted and begotten of the Holy Spirit as New Creatures in Christ, receive that Spirit in measure; and so the bodies of these mav be s::id to be the temples of the Ilo'r Spirit. Wherever God's Spirit is. there is a temple, as St. Paul's ques tion sets forth. Again, the Apostle de clarer; that vve have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the glory may be cf God. God's Holy Spirit constitutes ! its recipient a Temple of God. ! Fisev, here the Apostle calls the bod ! ies of those begotten of the Holy ! Spirit tabernacles. The difference be- ' tween a tabernacle and a temple is ! that the former is a temporary struc- j tare, while the latter is permanent. So St. Paul calls the present condition of the Church, in which the Holy Spirit dwells merely in our hearts, a tabernacle condition. It is not to last forever; it is only for the present trial time. If we are right! exercised by this power of God within us, then we rha'.l be made ready for the Temple condition. These are blended pictures of the Apostle's thought, which is this: If the Holy Sp rit dwells in us. we should regard our bodies very sacredly. In that same connection the Apostle g ;es on to say. "What communion hath dght with darkness?" and again. "What harmony is there between the Temple of God and the temple of idols:" be tween the purity that belongs to the Temple of God and the impurities that belong to the world, the flesh and the Devil? Those v. ho have been made the recipients of the Holy Spirit of God should be clean and pure, as !efitting a temple of God They should see to it that this sanctifying power of God extends to all their faculties and op erates through them la their minds their tongues. tLeii hands, their feet their words, thoughts and doings. "He Shall Present You Faultless." The Pastor concluded his address with an exhortation to those who re alize themselves to be living stones in process of "reparation for a place in the antitypical Temple of God. He urged tliese to appreciate the privilege of present discipline. Much chiseling and polishing are necessary to prepare these stones for their future position Therefore each should thankfully wel come whatever experience of this kind the Master Workman shall see fit to permit him to have. The present dis cipline of the Church is for the purpose of developing the character necessary to the great service for which God is building His Temple. While each faithful follower of the Lord looks forward longingly to the glories of the future, when the glory of the Lord shall till the Temple, yet each should remember that unless he is submissive to the chiselings and pol ishings of the present he will be set aside as a living stone, and his place given to another. The cultivation of pride along any line, the development of an unsanctified ambition, are amongst the greatest dangers to these living stones, new in preparation. Such flaws developed would render any un tit for a position in the Temple. The Scriptures declare that the great Master Workman will present each of His faithful ones blameless and irre provable before the Father with ex ceeding joy. After having received the Redeemer's "Well done," the Church will then receive the Father's approval and be honored in the pres ence of all the holy angels. Surely this experience will till the Church with glory. Then will follow the bless ed privilege of taking bold upon the world's affairs, rescuing mankind froiu bondage to Sin and Death, and bless ing all mankind with the knowledge of the glory of God, whom to know aright i3 life everlasting. he Piaifsmcuth Big Booster Circulation Campaign VOTE COUPON VOID AFTER Good for For M.
