New Tort City.
Nov. 1. Taster
Russell, at New
York City Tem
ple, took for his
subject "The Re
generation of the
Church and the
Regeneration of
the World. What
are They? Why
IMfferentr His
text was. "Marvel
not that I said un
to thee. Ye must
le born a sain." (John 3:7.) He said
in part:
Ju the past many of us have studied
the Bible in a very careless manner,
licg lectins to give to its inspired words
the consideration and respect they de
serve. In many cases, the original
thought has been utterly lost because
of some fanciful interpretation. Con
sequently very few Christian people
Lave any concrete idea of the mean
ins of our tort, and of other Bible
statements respecting the future re
generation of the world.
Regeneration, or a second birth, is
absolutely necessary if we would at
tain everlasting life. The fault lies
not with our Creator, that lie made
us incomplete; for, as the Bible de
clares, "all His work is perfect." The
fault is chargeable to sin. "By one
maa's disobedience sin entered into
tht; world, and death as the result of
tin: so death passed upon all men. be
cause all are sinners."
This sentence of death uiKn Father
Adam hindered him from giving to his
children the perfection of life in which
lie was created. Ils entire race has
been born into the world for six thou
sand years under a death sentence, or
curse. God cannot alter that sentence.
The forfeited life cannot be prolonged:
the sentence of death cannot be set
aside; the Supreme Juuje of the Uni
verse cannot for any reason declare
that He erred in Llis condemnation of
our race. He cannot set aside His own
decision. But God could provide for
the regenerating of Adam and his race.
To generate, as all know, signifies to
bring into life. Adam failed to pen
crate a race to life: he merely gen
crated a grTat race of thousands of
millions iossessed of only a spark of
life a dying race.
The Divine Provision is that our
Lord Jesus left the glory of the Heav
enly condition and Lecame a man for
the purpose of ransoming, or redeem
ing. Adam and his race, which shared
Lis condemnation. The record is that
this sacrificed life laid down by .lee us
is suthcient as a cancelation of all
Adamic sin. On the basis of that sac
rifice, and in the carrying out of the
Heavenly Father's Program. Jesus was
raised from the dead "a quickening
Spirit." a Life-giving Personage, with
a glory far higher than that which He
Lad when He came into the world.
"Him hath God highly exalted, and
given Him a name which is above
every name." Fhilippians 2:0.
The glorified Jesus is Scripturally
termed the Second Adam, the Life
Giver or Iiegenerator. and also the
Uverlasting Fattier that is. the Fa
ther who gives everlasting life. The
time for the giving of life to the
wrld hy this great Second Adam,
whom God hath appointed, is to be the
thousand years of His Messianic
lU-ign. Throughout the Millennium,
it will be the work of Christ Jesus.
jk the glorified Second Adam, to regen
erate the first Adam unci all Lis race.
The regenerating influences will be
gin with their awakening from the
sleep of death. In harmony with the
Master's declaration. "The Lour Is com
jng in which all that are in their graves
shall hear the voice of the Son of Mud,
end come forth." John 3S. 20.
The Regeneration of the World.
The coming forth from the tomb will
be the beginning of the regenerative
work, but not by any means its com
pletion. It will be merely a prepara
tory work. The h wakened sleeers
: will be in the same condition of mind
that they were in when they fell
asleep in a very similar condition to
those who will be living on the earth
at that time. Before any of them can
be regenerated, they must be brought
to a knowledge of the Truth. Their
ejes and their ears of understanding
must be opened. The Scriptures as
sure us that this will be Accomplish
ed. "Then the eyes of the blind shall
be oieiied. and the ears of the dear
shall be unstopped.' (Isaiah CuJj.l
"The earth shall be full of the knew'.,
edge of tbe .glory of the Lord, as tbe
waters cover the sea." JTJabakkufe

The news of God's Love and of the
possibilities of return to His favor
through the atoning work of Jesus be
ing clearly demonstrated to all. each
will have the opportunity of deciding
for himself whether -or not be desires
to return to human perfection and the
blessed legibilities of everlasting life.
To do so, he must be begotten again
by the L.fe-Giver; and the Life-Giver
will beget again only those who desire
the new life. Wilful rejectors of the
privilege, we are assured, will die the
Second Death; while those who accept
the Savior's ijrojtosals will comn under
helpful and disciplinary exteriences
which will gradually lift them up. men
tally, morally and physically, to per
fection to all that was lost for them
in Father Adam's disobedience and its
penalty, and all that was regained for
them by the obedience of Jesus and
the Divine arrangement of His Mes
sianic Kingdom for the regeneration
f the world.
The words beget, born and regener
ated or born again, associate them
selves in our minds with our natural
birth: but we are not to expect, as
Nicodeinus queried, that any would
again be lwrn as an infant from u
mother. The begetting to u new birth
will be in the mind a covenant rela
tionship with the Life-Giver.
The Church the Second Eve.
Nevertheless, there is a beautiful
analogy, complete in every feature;
for while Father Adam Mas designed
to le the life-giver, or father, or gen
erator of the race. Mother Eve was
designed to be its notirisher. care tak
er aud instructor, to bring the race up
to complete development So while
Jesus is the Life-Giver in the sense
that He gave His own life as a Ransom-price
for Adam, it is also a part
of the Divine Program that there
should be not only a Second Adam, but
also a Second Eve.
The world will need not only tho
start of the new life during the Mil
lennium. Lut also the care and nourish
ment necessary for their development
and uplift for restitution to perfec
tion. Gods provision is that the
Church, called especially for the pur
pose and especially qualified for it dur
ing this Gospel Age. shall be the Auti
typical Eve the Mother of the world
the care-takers, nourishers, supervis
ors, in respect to all regenerated, or re
begotten, by the Life-Giver Jesus.
What a beautiful prospect of collabo
ration with the Savior in His great
work of rescuing Adam and his race
from the effects of Adamic sin and the
death sentence!
The Divine picture is very complete.
While Adam was alone he did nt be
come a father. God caused him to 'ill
into n deep sleep, aud from his side
took Mother Eve to be his bride, his
co-laborer, his Joint-heir in his inheri
tance, and his assistant in the- work
of generating the human family. So
our Lord Jesus has not yet become a
father. But He has gone into the deep
sleep of death. His side has been
wounded, and the first result is the
gradual development, during the past
eighteen centuries, of a Bride class. As
Jesus passed from the human condi
tion to the spiritual before He cui!d
be ready to be the Second Adam, so
the Church class, as the New Creation,
must pass from the human condition
J to the spirit condition, and must share
in the First Resurrection, before sin
can fulfil her part in God's great Plan
as the Second Eve.
In view of this work that God has
outlined for His Son and for the
Church, is it any wonder that He
should consider it necessary to give us
lessons and tests in faith, loyalty and
oledience? Is it any wonder, in view
of the work which He Las for us to do
for mankind, that He declares that as
the Redeemer Himself was given deep
exicrieuces in suffering, in order to
be a merciful and faithful High Priest
in the things of God in relation to hu
manity, so the Church, His Bride,
members of His Body, must share
these experiences? When we come to
understand the High Calling of God to
the Church nnd the great work that is
yet to be accomplished for and in the
world of mankind, we are amazed?
The Church's Regeneration Different.
It was not Jehovah's program for
His Son that He should change to hu
man nature permanently. On the con
trary, wc are distinctly told that the
Logos took the form of a servant for
the suffering of death, and not for uy
other iunote. This purine having
been accomplished, the Father raised
Him up by His own Power to spirit
nature and glory "where He was be
fore." but to a still higher station on
the spirit plane "far above angels,
principalities and powers, and every
name that is named." This meant a
regeneration, or second birth, for Je
sus; for "flesh and blood cannot in
herit the Kingdom."! Cor. 15:r.O.
Our Savior exchanged His spirit con
dition, or nature, for the human, but
He could not exchange the human na
ture for the spiritual; else there would
have been uo object served in His hu
miliation, nis Luman life was to be
given up sacrifici.ilry us the Redemi-tion-priee
for Adam's life and, there
fore. the Redemption-price of the
whole world, since all lost life through
Adam's disobedience. The application
of the Master's sacrificed life would
have left Him without any life-rights
as a tuan. but God provided for Hks
regeneration: that is to say. for His
re-birth.
The sacrifice of Himself as a hurnsn
being was made when Jesus was thir
ty years of age. and was symbolized
by His Immersion: nnd immediately
the Father begat Him again, net to
be a human being, but a spirit being.
He was begotten of the Holy Spirit,
which descended upon nim in a form
like a'clove. For three aud a half years
Jesus, as a New Creature, spirit-bect-tcn,
uaed His flesh body, eonsecrated
t'3 Jeath. Laving no other. In it, "He
I was tempted in all points like as we
I rut liii'T t-Iii ;til l)-ir;ni flntn.
on.st rated liis loyalty to God. even
unto death at Calvary, the Father rais
ed Him from the dead on the third day
not a man. but a New Creature.
In other words. Jesus experienced
the same transformation that the
Aostle mentioned, saying, "It is sown
in weakness: it is raised in power; it
is sown in dishonor; It is raised in
glory: it is sown an animal body; it
is raised a spiritual body." After His
resurrection. Jesus illustrated the les
son given to Nicodeuius. of which our
text is a part He could, and did.
come and go like the wind. Some sev
en times during the forty days. He
appeared for brief intervals for the
instruction of His disciples, just as
aiuiels have done. Later. He ascend
ed up on High. "Now the Iord is that
Spirit" "the Second Adam." 2 Corin
thians ":17; 1 Corinthians 1o:4o. 47.
The Bible tells us that God from the
very beginning had foreknown that
Jesus would accomplish this work and
become the Father of Adam and his
race by regeneration; and the Apostle
assures us that God foreknew also
the Church as the Bride of Christ and
II is Joint-heir in His Kingdom. And
.Testis said to seine of the earliest
members of t'.ie Church class. "In the
regeneration in the Millennium
ye shall sit upon thrones." (Matthew
IP:!'.) ElM-where lie declared. "To
him that ovor.-nnieth will I grant to
sit with Me in My Throne." Bev. 3:21.
The Father purposed that the Bride
class should be selected from amongst
the members of the fallen race, and
shou Ul be prepared for their work of
future glory before the world's would
commence. He purposed a!o that this
Bride class should have a change of
nature similar to tk:t which Jesus
experien'-ed it would begin with them
as with Him. at the time of consecra
tion and spirit-begetting, and culmi
nate with them as with Ilim. in the
resurrection chancre. Thus the Church
has the promise that she shall Ik? like
her Lord, see Ilim as He is. and share
His glory. (1 John o:2: Komans S:17.
St. Peter, speaking of the call of the
Church, declared that God gave unto
this class "exceeding great and pre
cious promises"' that by these prom
ises working in their consecrated
hearts to will and to do God's good
pleasure, this class might become "par
takers of the Divine Nature." 2 Pe
ter 1 :i.
"Life and Immortality Brought to
Light."
It is manifest that this begetting of
the Church to a change of nature is
very different from the begetting pro
vided for the world regeneration, or
re-begetting, to the human nature
which Adam lost, but which Christ re
deemed for the world. So also we
have noted that the Church has a dif
ferent Father. Jesus is not the Fa
ther, or Life-Giver, "of this Divine
life. He did not redeem it or secure
it for anybody. He redeemed human
nature and sccim d the right to regen
erate the world to human nature.
The Church s begetting, or i exonera
tion, is by the Heavenly Father Him
self; us the Scriptures distinctly say,
"The God and Father of our Lord Je
sus Christ hath begotten us." 1 Pe
ter He alone can give this Di
vine Nature. This tloes not signify
that the Church is not indebted to her
Redeemer; for the Scriptures distinct-
fly state that without Ilim wc could
do nothing; that "by His stripes we
are healed;" and that before the
Heavenly Father would deal with us
at all before He would accept our
consecration, or sacrifice it was neces
sary that Jesus should appear on our
behalf as our Advocate and Surety.
and thus open up to us a New Way
of Life.
Thus, ns St Paul declares, "Christ
brought life and immortality to lizht
through the Gospel" life everlasting
to the world and immortality, or the
Divine Nature, for the Church.
Prior to our Lord's First Advent,
the way of life was not manifested;
no provision has been made' for it ex
cept in the Divine- rrouii.se. God had
promised His friend Abraham that
somehow, sometime, all the world
would be blessed: and that meant that
all the world would be released from
the curse of death aud experience the
Divine blessing, which signifies life
everlasting not that the world will be
given this blessing unconditionally, but
the opportunity for this blessing will
be extended to every member of Ad
am's race, and to himself, for accept
ance or rejection at their will. Then
came the second part of the state
ment to Abraham; namely, that this
blessing should come through his Seed,
his posterity. This implies that some
fpecial members of Adam's race, of a
faithful line, would be greatly exalted
to honorable positions, where they
would be capable of blessing the re
mainder of the world, their brethren
St. Paul points us to the fact that
God offered this great privilege to the
Natural Seed of Abraham, knowing
nil the while that they were sinners
aud would be unable to comply with
the conditions, hut making of them a
typical people, ami thereby incidental
ly biessing them, though with a lesser
blessing. The true Seed of Abraham,
through whom this promised blessing
shall enniP, St. Paul most positively
declares, is Erst of all the Lord Jesus
Christ the great Life-Giver, the Fa
ther who gives everlasting life the
Second Adam.
Then, with ejun! clearness, the Apos
tle points out that the Church, the
Bride of Christ, selected during this
Gospel Age from nil nations nnd all
denomination1:, is to be also a partici
pant in the blessing work, and to be ,
counted in as a part of Abraham's I
Seed. His words are. "Which Seed Is i
Christ." And if je be Christ's, then
ate ye Abraham's Seed, and heirs ac
cording to the Prouiise."-GaL 3:16, 29.

Once Galled a Weed.
DELZELL TO GO TO WISCONSIN.
Nebraska Superintendent Accepts Po
sition in Badger Normal School Ar
nold Martin of Pawnee County la
Winner of Corn Prizes.
Lincoln, Nov. 2. More and more tho
opinion is growing among farmers and
agricultural experts that a new epoch
in Nebraska farming and farm values
is dawning with the development of
sweet clover farming. This plant was
long rejected by the farmers of Ne
braska, as well as all over the world.
By farmers generally it was practical
ly classed with the weed group and
was regarded as a pest.
Wthin the last few years it was
found that stock will eat the hay and
thrive on it if it is cut young enough,
before the stems get hard. It has been
found that milch cows will increase
their flow of milk on sweet clover pas
ture or sweet clever hay.
Farm demonstrators in the several
fount ies where such demonstrators
are now working are looking favorably
on the sweet clover plant. Dozens of
farmers in the state who for years
have lain awake nights fearing the
sweet clover "weed" would kill the
native grass in their pastures are now
paying fancy prices lor sweet clover
seed to sesd pastures.
Nebraskan Wins Many Corn Prizes.
Arnold Martin, owner of a twentv
acre farm at DuBois, Neb., has won
almost everything in sight at the com
contest at the Wichita Dry Farming
exposition. Of the seven first premi
ums offered for stalks of corn. Martin
cleaned up five first prizes with his
Pawnee county exhibits. He has
moved on in the direction of Texas
and probably wilJ-'make a "killing" at
Dallas. Martin began his VJ4 cam
paign by taking first place at the Sr.
Joseph fair in a four-state competition.
He took first place in the eastern di
vision at the Nebraska state fair.
Delzel! Will Go to Wisconsin.
State Superintendent James E. Del
zell has accepted the position of di
rector of the training grammar grades
teachers at the state normal school at
Stepens Point. Wis. He will assume
his new position about Jan. 2o, leaving
Nebraska soon after i is term as state
superintendent expires. The salary is
a little better than he is receiving in
his present position.
HEIR TO IMMENSE ESTATE
Miss Minnie June Boggs of Lincoln to
Share In Baltimore Property.
Lincoln, Nov. 2. Three billions of
dollars is a large sum of money, but
it represents the value of an est are
which will fall to the heirs of Sir
Cecil Calvert, and one of them is Miss
Minnie June Boggs of Lincoln.
The estate is situated in the very
heart of the city of Baltimore. Mfl..
and represents an estate which was
originally owned by Sir George Cal
vert, the original Lord Baltimore of
England. '
Miss Boggs is at present employed
as stenographer at the headquarters
of the Democratic state committee in
Lincoln. Her mother, Mrs. Nancy
Mathews, lives in Wyoming, and it is
through her that she derives her right
to participation in the Baltimore es
tate. The interest of the heirs is being
looked after by Mrs. A. Calvert Bur
geoiso of St. Louis, who is an expert
gcneologist and it is mainly through
her efforts that the estate has been
saved to the heirs.

ELECTORS TO DECIDE
CONTROL OF CONGRESS
Governors Will 6s Named In
Twenty-nine States.
Washington. Nov. 2. Chief interest
in the election tomorrow centers on
the struggle for the control of the
next congress, heightened by the fact
that all successful candidates for the
senate, as well as the house, will be
chosen by direct popular vote. The
tact that thirty-two states will elect
senators makes the contest tomorrow
the real inauguration of this new de
parture in government.
A careful analysis of the situation
in the different states would seem to
indicate that the present small Demo
cratic majority of five in the senate is
a safe one, as the Republicans would
have to make a gain of six to get con
trol and there are only seven states
outside of the "solid south" where
present Democratic seats are being
defended.
In the house, 21S members are nec
essary for a majority. The present
Democratic standing is 2S.", Republic
an 122, Progressive Republican 2, Prc
gressive 14. independent 11 and vacan
cies 0. which seats were last occupied
by Democrats.
To change the political complexion
of the house, opposition parties most
maintain their present strength and
win sixty-eight additional scats.
Of hardly less interest are the con
tests over state tickets. Governors
are to be elected in twenty-nine states
and some of the campaigns, notably
those in New York. California and
Pennsylvania, have been waged with
much bitterness.
STOCK YARDS QUARANTINED
Only Animals For Immediate 6laugh

Washington. Nov. 2. The depart
ment of agriculture quarantined the
Union Stock yards at Chicago to pre
vent shipment of cattle except for im
mediate slaughter, because of foot
and mouth disease.
As a precaution against the spread
cf the foot aud mouth disease among
cattle the shipment of cattle and
sheep from the stock yards here, ex
cept for slaughtering purposes, was
prohibited by the bureau of animal in
dustry. It affects those animals which are
sent here to be fed and fattened, or
for use on dairy farms.

Have Crossed Frontier.
WAR SUMMARY
Turkey, allied with the Teutons, is
now at war with Great Britain,
France and Russia and the world is
watching intently the Balkan;,
where the smoke of their own war.
fare has scarcely been dissipated,
in anticipation of the states there
aligning themselves with oie or the
other cf the contending factions.
Turkey claims that Russia, by firing
on its ships while they were maneu
vering in the Black sea, oper.ed hos
tilities between the two countr e;.
Russia, however, denies tms state
ment. In the zone of warfare in Belgium and
France, fierce encounters continue
at various points. While the French
say there is nothing to report on
the north end of the line in Belgium
except that all the attacks of the
Germans have been repulsed, the
Germans report progress toward
their objective Calais. They also
say that they have taken a number
of prisoners.
The Belgians say they have defeated
the Germans on tne railroad be
tween Nieuport and D'xmude.
A battle is raging in the forest of Ar.
gonne and engagements continue
near the eastern end of the Imc
around Verdun and Toul.
The Russians claim victories on the
East Prussian frontier and along
the entire line beyond the Vistula.
The Austrians, however, say thev
have gained a complete victory over
the Russians in Galiaa.
Ijoudon. Nov. 2. Turlo v has cb r,
nitely thrown in its lot with Autric
and Germany, and if Portugal is count
ed, there now are eleven powers ar

Greec e. Bulgaria and Ron mania be
ing drawn in.
The note which Great Britain pre
sented to Turkey, demanding an ex
planation of the actions of the Turkish
fleet in the Black sea und :isma v.tiiii
of the former German cruioeis, tlf
Gccbc'n and Breslau. was really an ul
timatum, to which Turkey was re
quired to make a reply b fr:urda.
So far as is known here ni arswer

entente, it is understood, dcniand'-d,
and received their passports.
Turkish troops, which had ben on
the Egyptian bonier for some tun',
already are reported to Iimvo crossed
the frontier, while the Turki.-h !b-e'
continues to menace Russian towns
and shipping in the Black sa.
Neither Russia nor Great Britain
was unprepared for this movement 'o-

Attitude cf Moslem Subjects.
The problem, both for Lngland aud
Russia, however, is the attitude or
thj.r Moslem subjects, who under or
dinary circumstances would prefer not
to fight against Turkey. In this war.
however, they have rallied to the'r
flag, as have all other races undor
British or Russian rule, and care is
I cing taken to explain to tl,em that in
this case Turkey, under the direction;
of Germany, has been th' aggressor.
Another problem relates to the sun

Greece. Bulgaria, owing i's rxistence

gations to Great Britain. be.-ides be
ing desirous of securing Thrace, as fa.
east as the Enos Midia line, which it
was awarded by the I.ouuou coufer

which Turkey retook whu Bulgaria

would naturally side with the eiit'MiH
powers, but objects, political nbserN
