RUSSELL ,
Paslor Brooklyn "In Every Tiling Give Thanks , For
Tabernacle. Tliis Is the Will of God Concerning
You In Christ Jesus" (1 ( Thcssalomans
v , 18) ) .
Sunday , November US.-Pastor HUH-
well of "Brooklyn Tabernacle" preach
ed today from the above text. lie said :
There IH u bounty , and consistency
in tliu Bible which many overlook , to
their own confusion. Falling to "right
ly divide the Word of Truth" ( II Tim
othy II , 15) ) , falling to discriminate
between the con HOC rated believer * and
nominal believers of the world , which
the Bible everywhere recognizes , has led
to this confusion. To the loglcitlly-mlnd-
cd ( him confused , the Bible Is an unrea
sonable Book , IncoiiMlHtont with fnctH.
The.se mutters are well Illustrated In
our text , which WHH addressed , not to
all mankind , nor to merely nominal
Christians hut to Christians , "in God
the Father and in the Lord .lo.sus
Christ , " as { ho Introduction shows.
This word ( n means something more
than Is generally appreciated. Note
the Savior's words. "If a man love me
he will keep my words : and my Father
will love him. and we will come unto
him and make our abode with him. "
" 1 am In m.v Father , and ye In me and
I In you" ( John xlv. 'JO. 'JJli. The whole
testimony of the Scriptures is that
those who attain to this glorious OHO
WI-M with the Father and with the Sou
are In all but a "little Hoc ! ; " and
amongst them are "not many great ,
not many wise , not many learned. "
It Is to this class alone that the Scrip
tures are addressed though to some
extent Including a Jusitltled class sup
posedly approaching this sanctified
condition. These may well be Inform
ed by the Apostle that they should "In
everything give thanks. " when In full
harmony with the Divine will.
But note the confusion of attempting
to apply these words to the world In
general. What has the world to be
thankful for-from Its own standpoint ?
It knows not what God's future pur
poses are , which , therefore , cannot en
ter Into Its consideration. And with
out that knowledge of coming blessings
life Is often so little appreciated that
self-destruct Ion is preferred. Undoubt
edly the number of suicides would be
far greater than It Is , were It not fern
n certain fear or dread that the future
might be more terrible than the present.
The average man , heathen and civ
ilized , knows that his coming into the
world was without his consent. He
oats and drinks and sleeps and labors ,
because these are necessities. He has
headaches and heartaches , and every
other kind. Altogether his experience
Is "of few years and full of trouble. "
Ills chief pleasure Is In hoping for and
striving to attain pleasure. And when
the "cup" of supposed happiness Is In
his hand , the gall of bitterness Is found
mingled with It. and Its dregs are
Morrows. Can such a man be thank
ful ? especially If he has been taught
the doctrine of the "dark ages" re
specting the future that when he
shall die he will either be ushered
into n Purgatory of centuries or tor
ture Indescribable , or. worse still , that
his lot will be to suffer endlessly un
less he should be one of the saints ,
which , he well knows he Is not. and
which we all know , as the Bible de
clares , are but "few. " Surely to call
upon such people for thankfulness to
God would be an absurdity. And It Is
to the credit of the Scriptures that
they arc not thus absurd , and that our
text Is addressed , not to those who
constitute the masses , but to the "lit
tle tloek" the saints.
Groaning Creation's Hope.
Before proceeding to apply our text
to the class to which It Is addressed
( the saints ) , we pause to consider the
hope of the world in general , as set
forth in the Scriptures. The knowl
edge of this hope Is not granted to the
world , but to the saints that they
might know , might appreciate , the gra
cious purposes of lied toward mankind
in general ; and that they might under
stand also the Divine Intention respect
ing their co-operation with Cod ! In the
blessings he purposes to bring eventu
ally to all the families of the earth.
The explanation of the sorrows of
the world Is given In the Bible : which
tells us that sin lies at the door and
that the mental , moral and physical
blemishes which eause humanity such
distress are incidental to the penalty
pronounced against sin ; namely , death.
"The soul that slnneth. It shall die. "
Because Father Adam when on trial
representatively for his race stoned
and came under sin's penalty. "Dying
thou shalt die , " therefore all his chil
dren sharing In bis Imperfections are
likewise Imperfect sinners , us St. Paul
explains ( Romans v , 1i. ! ! Thus , dur
ing sixty centuries , approximately
twenty thousand millions of Adam's
children have been "born In sin and
Ebapcn In iniquity , " and have come
Into the world condemned and dying ,
mentally , morally and physically.
Divine sympathy exercised toward
this race of sinners provided a Savior ,
"who for the Joy that was set before
him" sacrificed his life for the world
( John III. ltt . "Jesus Christ by the
grace of God tasted death for every
man. " Then Instead of dealing with
the world. Instead of saving the world ,
instead of setting up the promised
Kingdom to bless the world , the Sav
ior did something else. And this
which he has been doing from the
time of his death until now the Apostle
tle oxplnlns tn n Is "M mvstery" ( I
Corinthians xv , 81 ; Kpuestuns i , u ;
Romans xl , 'J3 | . "The mystery of
God" the world does not understand ,
because God prefers to keep the mut
ter a mystery from them. But "the
secret of the I ird Is with them Unit
feur him and lie will shew them urn
Covonunt" ( Psalm xxv , Hi.
"Tliu mystery" Is , that ( S d purposed
that the blessing of the \\oiid should
be accomplished by our Sin lor alone ,
but in association with a select class
of salntH gathered out of the world
and specially taught and prepared hi
the School of Christ during this age.
Not only Is this feature of the Divine
Plan Scrlpturally called "tho mystery
of God. " which will he finished by the
close of this ago. hut additionally the
Church herself Is Serlptnrnlly termed
"the mystery of God" the Mystic
Body of Christ. "For God gave Christ
to be the Head over the Church , which
Is his Body. " "Ye are members In
particular of the Body of Christ , "
which Is the Church ( ICpheslans I , 'Jli ,
li ! ; ; I Corinthians xll , l7l. !
During those long centuries required
for the finding of this saintly class for
whom the Lord has been searching
wltn the magnet of Truth , various
false theories have sprung up and
found acceptance In the world. One of
these Is that God does not love the
world and has never purposed Its sal
vation ; but that , on the contrary , ho
fore-ordained and predestinated that
all except the "elect saints" should suf
fer eternal torture , because he wished
to have It so. Another wrong theory
which gained acceptance was that
whilst God wishes to save the world ,
he finds himself nimble to do so. be
cause handicapped by human self-will
and by the aggressiveness of Satan ,
who has blinded and deceived the vast
majority and has them completely In
his power through Ignorance and su
perstition. This theory tells us that
God loves the world. Including the
heathen millions , and that ho longs to
have the Gospel taken to them , but
cannot do so , except through human
agency , and Is disappointed and baf-
tlcd , because those who profess to be
his people fall to raise sutllclent mis
sionary donations.
To rational minds these theories
which satisfied In the past are no
longer satisfactory ; hence many are
turned to infidelity. As the Scriptures
say. "My people perish for lack of
knowledge" ( Ilosea iv , Oi.
The Hope of the Resurrection.
Leaving these unsatisfactory errors
of the "dark ages" and going buck to
the Scriptures we find their teachings
consistent ; namely , that as soon as
the "mystery , " the Church. Is com
pleted , the blessing of God will pro
ceed through The Christ ( Head and
members ) to the world. As It is writ
ten , "In thy Seed shall all the fami
lies of the earth be blessed. " The
mystery , be It known , Is that the spir
itual "Seed of Abraham" Is not the
Lord Jesus only , but includes also his
members the Church. As we read ,
"If ye be Christ's , then are ye Abra
ham's Seed , and heirs according to the
promise" ( Gnlatlaus 111 , 20) ) .
According to the Scriptures the bless
ing of God will proceed through Spir
itual Israel , a "Royal Priesthood , "
"after the order of Melehlzedec , " to
natural Israel under the terms of their
New Covenant ( Jeremiah xxxl. 31) ) .
During the Millennial Age under the
spiritual Kingdom of The Christ ( op
erating through the earthly Kingdom
of Israeli all nations will be instruct
ed , enlightened , blessed. Not only so.
but the merit of Christ will then be
applied also on behalf of the thousands
of millions who have gone down Into
the prison-house of death shcol , hades
the grave. The Church will consti
tute the "First Resurrection. " "Ills
resurrection. " All sharing In It will
attain life on the spirit plane like unto
the angels , but superior , "far above
iingcls. " Later during the Millennium
the world will return from the tomb ,
'every man In his own order" (1 ( Corin
thians xv. 23) ) . And the resurrecting :
process will continue with them , to the
Intent that the willing and obedient
iiny continue to rise gradually to
wards perfection and finally attain It ;
vvjille at the same time the earth will
be rejuvenated and become the prom
ised "Paradise regained" restored
( Acts ill. 19-21) ) .
"Give Thanks , For He Is Good. "
Looking down into the future pro
phetically the Psalmist exclaims. In
view of the Kingdom blessings prom
ised to the wortdt "O give thanks unto
the Lord , for he is good ! for his mercy
endureth forever ! " It Is the mercy of
God toward us and toward nil who
need bh mercy and who desire It that
is the ground for thanksgiving. True ,
praise must come from thankful hearts ,
and in order to be properly thankful ,
one must see more than Is now visible
to those who have not the eye of faith
and the car of faith and the Divine
revelation respecting things to come.
But It Is these very opportunities that
the Lord's consecrated ones possess :
"Blessed are your eyes , for they see
and your ears , for they hear. " Not
only so , but to the extent that any
one's eyes see and his ears hear of
the grace of God he has responsibility.
To possess the knowledge of God and
to disdain It Is to receive the grace of
I I'd ' In vain , whether more or less ( II
Corinthians vl , D.
God's people not only give thanks
for the blessings of the future which
they receive by faith , but additionally
they appreciate blessings granted to
them In advance In the present life
and give thanks for these. The first
of these Is the knowledge , the appre
ciation , of the goodness of God In
granting us a release from sin and Its
penalty by faith , so that we can ( with
out waiting tor uotuulltlesi now re
joice In the tuerey which has Juntllled
us freely by Divine grace through faith
In the blood ot Christ. The tcull/.u-
tlou of the rolling away of our load
of MII. | a rcull/atlon of our forgiveness
by the Father , calls lor gratitude , tor
thanksgiving , and this cause continu
ing , ( Mir thanks continue.e were
lifted from the horrible pit and the
miry clay of sin and condemnation
and our feet were placed upon the
Rock Christ Jesus. It was In consequence
quence of this that a new song was
put Into our mouth , even ( lie loving-
kindness of our God , And thin Is the
first cause for our thnnktulncss. All
other blessings rest upon this blessing
and all other thanksgivings should
properly , therefore. Include thanks for
this blessing.
Additionally after being justified we
were Inducted Into a still further grace
or privilege , namely , the privilege of
becoming members of the Body of
Christ , members of the "mystery"
class. The Invitation to this class the
Apostle expresses thus. " 1 beseech you.
brethren , by the mercies of Cod ( your
justification ) that ye present your
bodies n living sacrifice , holy , accept
able unto God , which IH your reason
able service" ( Romans xll , 1) ) . Through
this grace or privilege , if accepted , we
gain the opportunity of a change of
nature from human to Divine. Our
human nature justified , cleansed , made
acceptable to God as a sacrifice
through the merit of Christ , if sacri
ficed by us faithfully , will be replaced
by a spirit nature and glory , honor. Im
mortality , jolnt-helrshlp. with our Lord
and Head. What cause we have in
this for thanksgiving ! What shall we
render unto the Lord our God for all
his benefits towards us ? "We will
take the cup of salvation ( his cup , the
cup of self-sacrifice ) and call upon the
name of the Lord ( for assistance to
drink of the Master's cupi. We will
pay our vows of consecration unto the
Lord publicly before all his people"
( Psalm c\vl. 12-Hi.
"Every Joy lie sends mo
Conies a sweet unit glad surprise. "
The very fact that we do not know
everything ; the fact that we are ever
learning as pupils In the School of
Christ , so far from being u cause of
disappointment. Is a source of pleas
ure. The heart that has come Into
faith-union and commnulon with the
Lord learns something more dally re
specting the Heavenly Father's love
and care , and each fresh Item of
knowledge Is a new well-spring of
pleasure. "He satistioth the longing
soul. " "Blessed arc they that hunger
and thirst after righteousness , for they
shall be filled. " "Goodness and mercy
follow mo all the days of my life. "
These are the experiences of those ripe
Christians called upon by the Apostle
to give thanks unto God in every mat
ter and to know that this Is God's will
In respect to all those who are mem
bers of Christ "In Christ Jesus"
( Psalm evil. 0 ; Matthew v , C ; Psalm
xxlll , Gi.
Thanks Through Tears.
Let us not overlook the fact that our
text Indicates that we are to give
thanks for our sorrows , our trials , our
disappointments , as well as for our
joys and pleasures , for everything In
cludes all things. Nor is this the only
Scripture to this effect. Hearken to
the Apostle's words which urge the
members of Christ to rejoice in tribu
lation , not because tribulation is n joy
producer , but , as he explains , Tribu
lation works out additional patience
and patience brings additional experi
ence and larger experience brings lar
ger hope , until we are not ashamed of
our tribulations , because of Increased
love of God shed abroad In our hearts
thereby ( Romans v , 3 ; vlll , 35) ) .
The basis of nil these blessings and
rejoicings both as respects the future
and the present experiences is fultli.
First , in the fact that there is a God.
Second. In the fact that he has a noble
character. Third , In the fact that bis
Wisdom. Justice. Love and Power are
perfect and thoroughly coordinated.
Fourth , in the lact that all of those
powers are enlisted in the salvation of
the world. Fifth. In the fact that that
salvation began to be worked out by
our Lord at his First Advent. Sixth ,
in the fact that It Is still working out
In the selection of his Church Sev
enth , In the fact that shortly It will
begin to take practical shape In the es
tablishment of Christ's Millennial King
dom. Eighth. In the fact that through
that Kingdom a blessing shall extend
to every creature of our race.
So , then , let every man to the extent
of his enlightenment appreciate and
confess the Almighty God and give
thanks unto his name , because he is
good and because his mercy endureth
forever. And let those who have tast
ed of his grace pursue on. that they
may grow in grace , grow in knowl
edge , grow In faith and grow In char
acter-likeness to our God. And let his
taints addressed In this text more and
more appreciate their wonderful privi
lege , their high culling of ( Jed In Christ
Jesus to be heirs of God and Jolut-
helrs with Jesus Christ our Lord if so
be that they suffer with him , that they
may bo ulso glorified together. And
knowing that they have need of fultli
and patience and character develop
ment , let these firmly trust the Great
Teacher , come what may , and give
thanks for every experience of life ,
knowing that our Father Is too wise to
err and remembering the Muster's
words. "The Father himself loveth
you" ( John xvl , 27) ) .
The Awakening.
Two weeks after he bud faced the
parson with the only girl In the world
ho chanced upon Jones , one of bis old
bachelor friends.
"Well , old man , " remarked the lat
ter , grinning. " 1 can't say you look the
pnrt of a happy benedict. What's the
trouble ? Ilnve you suffered n disap
pointment ? "
"I have. " answered the other grimly.
"My wife can't slug ! "
"Can't slngV" echoed Jones cheerily.
"But In that case 1 should have said
you were to be congratulnted. "
"That's not the trouble. " responded
the young husband. "The trouble is
she thinks s > be can ! "

Rome Miller Case Saturday.
Omaha , Dec. 3. The arguments In
the case of Rome Miller , charged with
violating the 8 o'clock closing law ,
will bo heard Saturday morning by
Police Judge Crawford , before whom
the case was tried Wednesday morn-
Ing. A motion of John C. Wharton ,
representing Mr. Miller , that the de
fendant bo discharged and the case
dismissed , on the ground that there
was no evidence to show that Rome
Miller sold the beer alleged to have
been bought by agents of the nntl-
saloon league , that ho did not own or
run the Rome hotel or the Rome vine
yard , or that any of the people em
ployed there were his servants , was
overruled by Judge Crawford.
There were four counts in the com
plaint against Rome Mller , the dates
on which alleged sales of Intoxicants
were made being October G , 7 and 13 ,
and November 2 , on each occasion
after the hour of 8 o'clock in the even
ing. Attorney Wharton contended
from the start that the state had
failed to establish evidence directly
connecting the accused with the com
mission of a crime. In his opening
statement Wharton objected to the
trial of the case in police court and
asked for a trial by Jury. He declared
the law prohibiting the accused a trial
by Jury was unconstitutional and re
quested the court to defer its ruling
and hear the evidence subject to the
objection.
Four witnesses testified on behalf of
the anti-saloon league , Harry A.
Stone , Fred Cavan , Frank Erdman
and C. A. Holyoke , while the defend
ant was the only witness sworn In
his behalf. The plaintiffs bought and
drank beer at the Rome. After list
ening to the testimony , and refusing
to consider the motion for dismissal ,
the court consented to adjourn the ar
guments until Saturday , following the
regular session of police court. The
court did not Intimate a decision
would bo made at that time.
Mr. Miller said his Instructions to
his bartenders were not to violate the
law , but to close the bar and cease
the sale of liquor before 8 o'clock at
night , and not to begin again before 7
o'clock In the morning. Ho ponltively
denied having any persons employed
in the vineyard in his employ.

At Mr. Grlnstoad's request Dr. W. B.
Nlles , who conducted the experiment
at the Kansas City stock yards In July
and August , was sent to Salem. Seven
sick hogs wore taken from Mr. Grin-
stead's herd , and eight healthy ones
which never had boon exposed to chol
era wore bought from another farmer
by Mr. Grlnstead. Four of the eight
were Inoculated with serum and four
were left untouched. The sick and
well hogs were put into the same pen.
Within twenty-four hours six of the
seven sick hogs had died and within
seventeen days the four hogs that had
not been inoculated caught the cholera
and died. One sick hog recovered and
the four that had been Inoculated wore
not touched by the disease. From
these hogs serum was obtained with
which other hogs had been treated ,
and In a short tlmo the disease had
been stamped out.
Any veterinary surgeon can make
the serum.
