Six great days of a thousand years each have already passed over us. according the Scrip tures, and have leon jieriods of dark ness under a retell of Sin and Death. Iurin? this time OoJ has allowed our ra'-e lo exieriuieiit with sin and to note its Litter results to experiment also in endeavors to recover frojn sin and its ionalty. death, with its con constants of sickness and sorrow. The long schooling of six thousand years is not to le in tain. The lesson that "the wages of sin is death"' is not to he lo.st. Mankind is not to le left to destruction, hut i- to 1 recovered. Faith's billions, l.ving as unconscious in death as the brute, are nevertheless subjects of Divine interes", sympathy and provision. Jn Hie Seventh Thousand-Year Iay. earth's great Sabbath, assistance will come to our race. Broad Foundation For Hum.n Salvation According to the Iivine Program. Christ will then I o the gres t King over ail the earth, and the great antitypica! I'riest. to uplift all the willing ami obedient. lie wi'.H le the Antityie of Melchiscdee, v ho was a priest upon his throne. Jf the Divine lurpoe h:td merely been that the Lord Jesus Christ should do this wjrk tlonev there would have leen no need of His coming into the world nineteen centuries ago to die; for He could have accomplished the entire work nt one tine. Now, at the beginning of the seventh thousand years. lie could have died for man's sins, thus redeeming all from the curse that came throuirh Adam; and then, risen from the dead and glorified with the Father's power. He could at once have begun His gnat woik of setting free the prisoners of Sin and Heath. Rut the Heavenly Father had a bet ter Plan. He had purposed the select ing of the saintly few fruu amongst men, to be ass:.-iuied wi.h our Iord Jesus in His Kingship ami His priest ly otliee. God has laid n broad foun dation for u great w-.rk for humanity, in providing not only the necessary kind's and priests for tlu Millennial Kingdom, but also valu ible cxpori ences for nuudzind through the ujrti of Sin and Heath and thr nigh human endeavor to overcome thee. By now all should be satisfied tint life ever lasting must come as a gi.'t from God A Race of Slaves. During Messiah's thousand year Reign the groaning creation will be deliver ed from bondage into full liberty, prop er to sons of God. Behold what ter rible lKndages are upon mankind: Look at their ignorance, their super stition. their fears, their weaknesses, mental, moral, physical. mkI the sum of these disabilities death. Consider the hundreds of millions alive today that need assistance, and the thou sands of millions unconscious, in the tomb. Their awakening from death will not le the fulfilment of this prophecy of resurrection. It will mean much more the uplifting of mind and body to all that was lost 3n Adam and rebfined at Calvary. This does not signify tniversal sal-v.-tion. except in that the Bible prom ises that "as ail in Admit die. even so all in Christ shall le made alive, ev ery man in his wn order" lass. (1 Corinthians 1.1:22. 23.) Th giving to i! marfclne! the fuTi' opportunities o the Millennial Kingdom will fulfil God's promise. Those who shall in telligently refuse God's gift of ever lasting life, by refusing His reasonable requirements, will die the Second Death. But those who at the conclu sion of the Millennial Age shall have profited by The Messiah's Kingdom will be received into God's family and will be granted all the liberties and privileges proper to the pons of Gd. Revelation 21:4; 22:3. Although we should understand what God has promised of Restitution to hu man perfection for the groaning crea tion in general, it is still more impor tant that Christians recognize the share of liberty which has already come to them. tGalatians 3:1.) Do not misunderstand me to refer to the great mass. Catholic and Protestant, noted In the statistics as 4iKt.KX.n0 Chris tians. Alas, no! That great mass is deceived. According to Bible stand ards and their own confessions, they have neither lot nor part in the Church which is the Body of Christ. This great mass 1-i well represented in the nations of Europe warring for commercialism, the one to obtain, and the other to hold, the key of over and access to the world's wealth. Saints there undoubtedly are in all the war ring nations; but they are so few that they have virtually no inib.iencc. but are fort ed by the others into the st rug pie. The mass of these nominal Chris tians neither know Christ iHi-onally nor give c itlence of liav'ng conic into God's family through the begetting of the Holy Spirit. As truly as the hea then of other lands, they are "without Gd and having no hope." There is a hope for them; but they know it not. Responsibility of Clergy and Laity. Vhe:e lies the responsibility for pres ent conditions that the millions of Eu rope are lichting like devils, each army deceived into thinking that it is the Lord's army. fight'ug for God and righteousness? A'e believe that the re sMiisi)(i!ity lies close, to the d'or of the churches of all denominations, and es pecialiy close to the door of the reli gious teachers, who assume great re spoiisibility in calling themselves the clergy, and setting themselves alov their fellows, styled the laity. These hnnistcrs of the civilized world, more than a quarter of a million in number, represent a highly favored eh:s of humanny. The majority f tiiem have much above the average of education, and far alove the average of time for study and thought. How are they using these wonderful oppor tunities and privileges, and the in faience, which goes with their posi tions and which is accentuated by the superstition of the masses? I freely acknowledge that they are not responsible lo me; as it is written. "To his own Master each servant stands or falls." Jt is quite proper, however, that we remember the Mas ter's words. "Out of thine own mouth will 1 judge Hue, thou wicked and slothful servant." (Luke R:22.t What a fearful retribution apparently awaits those professed ministers of God and of Christ who. instead of using their great opportunities for cmanciiNii ing the people from the slavery of igno rance, sujterstitioii and error, are using them to promote lut-rual bondage! Moral Cowards Everywhere. The clergy neglect their opportunities for educating the people to a projter tmception of the rights of man. They have fostered the fallacy that the king doms of the world are kingdoms of God, and that serving the king is serv ing the Lord. They have not taught the people the broad patriotism that "the earth is the Lord's and the ful ness thereof." which He hath given to the children of men; and that national barriers of selfishness and national ag gressiveness are contrary to the rights of man. The clergy of each country, supported by the governments, have in turn upheld these governments; and if they have not told the people that the voice of the emperor or the king is the voice of God. they have certainly not disabused them of that idea, which the clergy of past general ions inculcated. Now that the war has come, and the misdirected people are blindly lighting for their errors and misconceptions, what is the attitude of the clergy? Fnder the pay or toe protection of the governments, are they not all support ing the governments from which they receive their pay? Are they not intent upou encouraging the ambitions of these governments and stirring up the jeople to war? !. they not approve the legend on the belts of the German soldiers, "God with us"? Do they not follow the lead of the Archbishop of Canterbury, in England, in encourag ing the thought that all who enlist are fiigniilng iii a holy war for God? The Archbishop is credited in the press with urging the boys and the girls of Great I '.rit a in to marry early and bring up large families, that there may be more such Christian soldiers to battle for church and state. Policy and hypocrisy are written all over the affairs of the world falsely called Christendom Christ's Kingdom. These are not Christ's Kingdom, nor are these Christ's ministers, if we shall judge by the Savior's statement, "II is servants ye are to whom ye render service" whether God or Mammon. The clergy of lands not directly in volved in the war are praying, and urging the people to pray, to God to stop the war; but we hear no sugges tion, from any quarter, of proper preaching and teaching to show the people the brotherhood of the human family and the sin of murder, whether committed by commands of kings, em perors, or otherwise. Where is the courage? Where is the moral stamina? It is lacking. Why? Because true Christianity is lacking. Christ's true followers are courageous. Jesus refers to them all as overcomers. not sycophants; as lovers of joace, win contend not with carnal weapons. His followers must necessarily, neverthe less, be true heroes, copies of their Master, not afraid to speak the truth and not afraid to die for their courage. What a power a quarter of a milliou professed ministers of Christ might le if they truly took their stand on His side, lifted up their voices, and even now confessed how seriously they have misled the people in respect to earthly things, us well as regards the things of the hereafter! Hypocrisy the Greatest of Sins. Judged by their utterances, the great mass of those professing to be minis ters of Christ are hypocrites. In pri vate conversation,' if cross-examined, they confess that they do not believe the Bible, and declare that no educat ed person could lelieve it to be a Di vine revelation. Asked whether they believe hi a future life, they answer that they have some hopes of a future life, but that these are built, not upon the Bible declaration of a resurrection of the dead, but upon the Platonic phi losophy that nobody is dead. Asked whether they believe iu eternal tor ture, they reply. Certainly not! Indi rectly, however, they have given the inference that they believe it: and surolv thev have not done anything to take from the people that nightmare invenfed during the Dark Ages, when for twelve hundred years the few Bi bles there were ere relegated to the cloister and the closet, and the world was taught by self-styled apostolic bishops, who claimed the same author ity of inspiration as the Twelve Apos tles whom Jesus named as His only mouthpieces. There were murderers, thieves and drunkards in Jesus' day. as there are today; yet the Master denounced a still greater sinners the religious hypo elites of His time who made void God's Word, substituting for it human tradition deceiving and misleading the people "blind leaders of the blind.' Were He to speak forth today. His strongest condemnation would be ex pressed against the clergy, who seem intent upon keeping the people in dark ness respecting the true teachings of the Bible teaching them evolution ami unhejief if they are educated, or de lusions of the Dark Ages if they are uneducated. Policy seems to take thf place of honesty. The Apostle speak. of such as having their consciences seared toughened, hardened. As a result, nearly all ministers wi'l say. "We do not believe in the doctrine of eternal torture. We would not think of torturing anybody ourselves; we d- not know any human being so dprav ed that he would wish to torture his fellow-creature everlastingly. We do not believe that any god would do so. We doubt whether any devil would long take pleasure in sudi sufferings." Asked why they support e-revds which so- teach, und why.Iuy give such in ference to the public, some reply, "it is required of ns by our denominations. We would much prefer to tell the truth alut the Love of Gtwl and His ar rangement for the blessing uf the non elect during the Time's of Restitution. (Acts o:l! 21.1 But we are bound hand and foot. Our supjort and our honor ani"i:gt men depeiel on our adherence to this doctrine. If we could see a way out of the dilTiculty, we would le glad to be liberated." Others answer that they give their consciences no concern, that their de nomination takes the responsibility for its creed and for its tea hers. Oth ers answer that they are Higher Crit ics and Hvolut ionists, who believe that they must not tell the people their he-art sentiments; but that they hope that sn public sentiment will out grow the influence of the Bible, and th.n then they will le called upon to teach a Christ less and. if necessary, a Godless morality. After the Example of Judas. Such bartering of the honor of the Almighty for honor of men and an e-asv living is its dillicult to unelerstand as that of Judas, who sold Jesus for thirty pieces of silver. .So soared are the consciences of the-se educated men that they seem not to realize that blas phemy is the most serious of sins; and that directly or indirectly giving the inference that the God f all grae the Father of mercies, is roasting !'-. out of everv 1.mh of humanity is the worst blasphemy that could be con-e-octeel. How much allowance Joel makes for these blasphemers we know not, lint we feH that theirs is a terri ble josition. Won Ul that some word of mine might assist in awakening their ceuisciences; ami that even yet nobility ami manhood, not to say saint ship, might gain the victory! And does not the pew share this re sponsibility? Has it no meaning to in telligent men and women that they have subscribed to a creed that blas l hemes G oil's holy name, totally mis represents His character, and throws an utterly false light on the Bible? Is it sufficient ihat these should say, "We no longer believe these creeels"? Do not their names en the rolls, their pres ence at church services. anJ their vuz? tribution to the upkeep of these creeds and their clerical defenders constitute a responsibility in the sight of God and in the esteem of all honest men and women? How long shall intelli gent eople halt between creeels of hy pocrisy and one of honesty? How long will they Jiow down before creed idols more horrible than any worshiped by the heathen? While mankind is celebrating today the birth of this great nation which stands for liberty, freedom, emancipa tion from the thralldoin or church and state, let us personally make fresh res olutions that we will stand fast in the liberty wherewith Christ makes fre'e. and be Ilis servants, loyal, failhful nnto death, hoping to receive "the Crown of Life, which f adeth not away." - IX I'LATTSMOUTH J FORTY YEARS AGO.

In Mr. Odell's school report in last week's Herald, among the name of the eighteen whose average scholar ship was 80 or above, we search in vain for the names of those boys who take considerable outdoor exercise during scheiol hours; while Annie Hunter, who stood highest in scholar ship is one of the most regular and punctual scholars in school, and all of the eighteen who passed examina tion are comparatively regular in at tendance, from which it may be infer red that scholarship and regularity of attendance go hand-in-hand. Then why should we not have a regulation requiring regularity of attendance up on school duties? Our schools close next Wednesday. The Red Ribbon club meets next Tuesday evening. Lucile.
