Ills Mentions now reach six million families weekly , and assuredly many of these wish him ( Jod-spocd. I On the Atlantic April Tenth. 1 have chosen for my te.\t a sen topic , ii symbolical prophecy which , -1 believe , Is rapidly Hearing fnllillmcnt. All Itlhlo students recognize the fact that many of the I'salms are Ales- Hlanlc ; that Is to say , they apply to the time of the inauguration of Mes siah's Millennial Kingdom. Some of them detail the peace and joy and blessings which will then prevail amongst men , when the great leveling processes of that time will raise all the worthy poor and degraded and will humble all the proud , establishing Society under such new conditions that the new order of things Is symbolical ly styled In the Scriptures "a new heavens and a new earth , wherein dwolleth righteousness" ( II Peter 111. 311) ) . 'Others ot the Psalms describe In highly figurative terms the work of the Millennial Age. For Instance , we read : "Gird thy sword upon thy thigh , O most Mighty , with thy. glory and thy ! | majesty. And In thy majesty ride pros-1 peronsly , because of truth and meek ness and righteousness ; and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things. Thine arrows are sharp In the heart of the King's enemies ; whereby the people fall tinder thee" ( Psalm xlv , | ' a-OI. Here the great Hedeemer Is pic-1 ' 1 lured as the glorious conquering King of the Millennial Age. and his victory over every opposing Inlluence is em phasized "I'nto him every knee shall bow and every tongue confess" ( Isalttli xlv , 'J.'li. His right hand that will teach terrible things Is the symbol of .the Divine power which will be exer cised at the Inauguration of the King dom. The sharp arrows which will pierce the enemies to the heart and cause them symbolically to fall before him slain represent ills messages of Truth and Grace which then will con- juer as they tin not now , except In the hearts of the few. A sample of those now slain after this manner by the Word of Truth Is furnished us In the account of St. Peter's sermon on the Day of Pentecost , lie preached the Truth plainly , thrusting in the "Sword of the Spirit" up to the hilt. lie told his hearers how they and their rulers bad cruellled the Prince of Life. They were "cut to the heart , " and It was the greatest blessing that could have possibly come to them ( Acts II , 2B ) . Similarly during the Millennium , the "arrows" of Truth will smite down nil opposition ; and mankind , cut to the heart with proper appreciation of their own slnfulncss and God's mercy , will fall before the great King , accepting uiercy upon his gracious terms full surrender. The Day of Trouble Pictured. The Psalm of which our text Is a part Is one of the Messianic Psnlius. Prophetically and symbolically It tells about the trouble Incident to thepasslug away of the present order of sin and selfishness and the Inauguration of the new order of righteousness and love under the great Mediatorial Kingdom of Christ. Whether the events which the Scriptures predict shall come In our day or not. we hold that they will come and be In full comportment with these prophetic pictures. They were surely written for our Instruction ( II Timothy 111 , 1C ) . And as Ulble stu dents we do well to take heed to ev ery Item of the Divine revelation , that thus we may keep ourselves In touch with the Intlnlte One mid In sympathy with all the features of his great and wonderful Program. Let us note the particulars of the Psalm In detail. The Refuge of His Saints. "God Is our refuge and strength , a very present help in trouble" ( Psalm xlvl , 1) ) . How beautiful ! How com forting ! How strengthening ! Those who have entered Into covenant rela tionship with God through Christ , through faith and consecration , and who are abiding In his love , may feel serene in any trouble In every trouble not merely In the final trouble , with which sin ami sorrow will be brought to an end. Not merely when Satan Bhall be bound will God bo the refuge of his saints , but in all times and un der all circumstances "the peace of God which passeth all understanding" will keep the hearts and minds of his faithful. "Therefore will not we fear , though the earth be removed , and though the mountain * be carried Into the midst of the sea. " Fear Is the great tor ment of the majority of our race. It Is the lash whli-h the Adversary fre quently uses to drive away from God those who need his sympathy and love and succor. To such the Lord speaks tenderly saying , "Come unto me. all ye that labor and are heavy laden , and I will give yon rest. " And again , God declares his name to be Love and says , "Their fear toward me Is taught by the precepts of men" not by his Word ( Isaiah xxlx , lit ) . lie would have us trust him as a great , loving , generous Father , saying , "Like as a father pltleth his children , so the Lord coinpassloncth the o 'who reverence him" ( Psalm clll. 13) ) . As love , more love , perfect love , conies Into our hearts It more and more casts out the fear which the Adversary would in culcate and which lias burned into men's minds and consciences the "doctrines of devils , " to which the Apostle refers ( I Timothy Iv , 1) ) "Fear not their fear , neither lie afraid , " snys the Lord to those who are Ills people. "Let the peace of God which pnsvcth all understanding rule In your hearts : " lie faithful ! Ho trustful ! Accept the assurance that "All things shall work together for good to those who love God to the called ones according to his purpose" ( Romans vlll , 'JSi. This class will not { cur when the earth shall be removed and when the mountains shall be car ried Into the midst of the sea. They might Indeed be astonished and In trepidation if these were literal moun tains ; but they are symbolical. The people of the Lord , under his Instruc tion , will not be In darkness that that day shall overtake them as a lldef , al though It will come as n thief and as a snare upon the whole world ( Luke xxi , 33) ) . In the symbology of the HI ble the term earth Is used to represent the social structure , as the mountains which constitute the backbones of the earth symbolize the kingdoms of the world supported by the social order. As the earth represents the llxlty of , the social order , the sea represents 'the restless , turbulent , dissatisfied classes which lash against the earth and continually seek to .swallow It up. The removal of the earth symbolizes the disturbance of the social order. The swallowing up of the mountain In the seas represents the overwhelmIng - Ing of sonic of the great kingdoms of the earth by the uprising of the people In anarchistic rebellion against social order. "The Powers That Be Ordained of God. " The fnct that the Scriptures prophet ically describe the overwhelming of the social order and the great govern ments of the earth must not be under stood to signify that the Hlble coun sels revolution or anarchy. On tin. contrary , all of God's people through out the Scriptures are counseled to i live peaceably with all men , so far as ' possible. They are counseled not to use carnal weapons , not to take to the sword for the settlement of disputes but rather to suffer Injury. They arc counseled that God Is the great Over Lord , and that although he Is not now ruling directly amongst men he Is fullj j the Master of the situation In that In. ' could at any time overthrow all oi > - | ponents. He does not acknowledge | that his will Is now done In the earth j but tells us that It will be done by urn by and encourages us to pray and to hope and to wait for It. He tells us that Satan Is now the "Prince of this world" by virtue of the fact that he deceives the minds and hearts of the majority. God would have his people ple understand something of his great Program , but he would keep this hid den from all others ; hence the Impos sibility of explaining spiritual things to a carnal mind ( I Corinthians II , 14) ) . "None of the wicked shall understand" ( Daniel ill. 10) ) . The great Creator has contented him self with such n supervision of human affairs as leaves much responsibility In human hands. He merely inter feres to raise up or to cast down on occasions when the Interest of his Cause and Program may demand. For Instance , the case of the Pharaoh , raised to the throne of Egypt. In Moses' day. God there raised to the Throne a man of great determination , and hindered from reaching the throne other men not so favorable to the car rying out of the Divine Purposes. Thus , without Interfering with the free moral agency of the king. God used the wrath of man to praise him and the remainder he restrained. Sim ilarly. God previously raised Joseph to the Governorship of Egypt for his own purposes. The Prophet describes the tumult of that day of overwhelming trouble , when God's Kingdom will be estab lished , saying of the sea that will swallow up the mountains. "The wa ters roar and be troubled ; the moun tains shake with the swelling thereof" ( Psalm xlvl , 3) ) . It Is probably true that such socialistic and anarchistic roarings have many times in the past caused the kingdoms of earth and their rulers to tremble. Hut some day , according to the Scriptures , the final catastrophe will occur. How near that day may bo who can tell ? Quite a good many earnest Hihle students con cur In the thought that such a climax is indicated in the prophecies , for the year 1010. But be the date as It may , the fact remains. The prophecy we lire examining Is nearly three thou sand years old , but It Is as good , as Hiiro , ami as meaningful today as ever It was. We are not of those who would harass the minds of our fellows with fear. Hather we would point them to the fact that behind this cloud of troti- bio there Is a glorious silver lining af Millennial Joy and blessing for all the families of the earth. Hather we would encourage all who have the hearing ear to zeul and faithfulness In their consecration , that they may "make their calling and their election sure" to n share In the Kingdom glo ries and "escape those things coming upon the earth" ( Luke xxl , 30) ) . In a word , the Gospel of Christ Is not a message of damnation and fear and orture , but. as the angels declared , 'Good tidings of great Joy which shall be unto all people" ( Luke II , 10) ) . Deliverance of the Church Pictured , In the fourth and llfth verses fol- owlng our text the Church Is sym bolically pictured as the City or King dom of God. his dwelling-place. And the stream of Truth Is represented as i river making the City clean and fresh and glad. The proclamation Is made , "God is In the midst of her ! She shall not be moved ! God shall iclp her early In the morning" early In the Millennial morning. The Church is to be "a llrst-frults unto God. " Her salvation as the Hrlde of Christ will he accomplished early In this Mil lennial morning. Oh , how glad will be all those accounted worthy of a place In tiiat elect Church "tho Church of trie First-borns , whoso names are written in heaven ! " "She shall not be moved , " Is In agreement with the llrst verse in assuring us that God's people will be preserved from fear and doubt and misunderstanding of the events of that "time of trou ble" and that their faith will enable them to triumph at a lime when oth ers will be In great distress and per plexity ( Luke xxl. till ) . The Gentiles Raged. Heglniiing with the Otli verse the Prophet gives a brief synoptical pic ture of the time of trouble and Its consummation and the inauguration of universal peace. "The heathen ( Gen tile peoples ) raged ! " These words describe the tumult which will pre vail amongst humanity in the great time of trouble before the climax Is reached. "Haglng , " angry voices arise from public meetings , and In the more private meetings of the lodges of La bor and Capital , and through the col umns of the Press to the extent per mitted. In Germany the "raging" Press for some time has been muz zled. The same Is true In other na tions. In Great Hrltnin , In the United States and in France there Is a fear of tumult through public Press "rag- lug , " and everything possible Is done to restrain It. Whoever sees that an archy Is the most dreadful terror con fronting Civilization must realize the wisdom of reasonable restraints upon his own tongue and upon the tongues of others. Nevertheless the Scriptures show us that all effort to suppress the tumult and the angry voices of men selfishly "raging" out against each other will fall. The prophetic picture continues "God uttered his voice ; the earth melt ed. " The unfaithfulness of humanity , the clamor of greed , both In rich and in poor , will be answered by the Al mighty , "Giver of every good and per fect gift. " He will "utter his voice , " or , as another prophet declares , "He will speak to the people In his anger , " for their correction , for their reproval. The result will be that the symbolical earth ( society ) will melt the social structure of civilization will disin tegrate. Another Scripture declares that that disintegration will be so great that "every man's hand will be against bis neighbor. " Hut the Prophet hastens to assure us that In the midst of all this tumult the Lord will be with his consecrated pee ple. We read , "The Lord of hosts is with us. The God of Jacob Is our refuge. " This promise applies primari ly to the consecrated Church of Christ Spiritual Israel. Hut It also sec ondarily applies to fleshly Israel , the Jewish nation , which will participate in this time of trouble , but be saved out of It. as the Scriptures declare ( Jeremiah xxx , 7) ) . In this time of f trouble the Lord's jewels , his saints , will be gathered to their heavenly home , after which Divine favor will ' begin to return to Israel ( Houians xl. 25-30 , . The Psalm closes with n picture of the devastation which will prevail throughout the world as a result of human sellishucss and blindness. Capital and Labor will rise up to a terrible cataclysm of anarchy , awful for rich and poor alike. Only God's . saints will then have peace , and that because of their knowledge of the grand outcome ; because of their faith in God and their willingness to ac cept whatever his providence should Fend. Mark the grand symbolic apostrophe trophe with which the Psalm closes ! May Its lessons draw us nearer to the Fountain of Grace and give us rest , peace and Joy through obedience of heart to him. "He ( Immanuel ) maketh wars to cease unto the ends of the rnrthj he broaketh the bow In sunder ; lie burneth the chariot In fire. Be still nnd know that I am God. 1 will be rxalted among the heathen ( Gentiles ) ; I will be exalted In the earth. " John and the Franchise. A woman suffrage lecturer In Eng land recently brought down tie ! house with the following argument : "I have no vote , but my groom has. I have a great respect for that man In the sta bles , but I am sure If I were to go to him and say , 'John , will you exercise the franchise ? ' he would reply , 'Please , mum , which horse be that ? ' " A Real Regret , Editor I am obliged to decline your poem with thanks. I am very sorry , butPoetHut what ? Editor The management Insists upon my declining all poems that way. High School Notes.

Dr. Mnckay was called and reports that , although Beck suffered intense pain , he will recover. He will not be able to leave his bed for some time. Otto Miller Hurt.

Dr. Hear expressed Is pleasure at the many Improve- letits which are under way here , and ays that the land In Virginia has been verworked. Same Old Story In Same Old Way. Norfolk's demand for better treat- lent at the hands of the Northwest- rn railroad , In the shape of uptown rains , has reached the tf-you-don't- tilt- -for-gaod-traln-aer vicewe'll - nove the headquarters to - Fremont tago. Likewise the Northwestern has omo out In print and confessed that s'orfolk Is entitled to trains uptown ml that "possibly" It may got them. An Inspired article In the Fremont 'ribtino. using the old , old story in an ttempt to "throw a scnro" Into Nor- oik , tells how maybe as n result of Norfolk's asking for the train service 0 which this city and the traveling itibllc are entitled , the Northwestern .my "get mad" and punish the town y moving Its headquarters. May Get Trains Uptown. "An ofllclnl" Is authority for the am. And this same olllcial admits Norfolk may get trains uptown when le says , as quoted In the Interview , 1 would not lie surprised to hear in lie near future that the contemplated liiingo had been made and that Nor- oik , while gaining the advantage of laving the trains brought to the up- own depot , had lost Its headquarters. " That paragraph , Intended to make S'orfolk gel under the table , is filled vith good cheer for the business men if this city , who are united In their loinnnd fo' ' uptown trains. For an illlclnl of the Northwestern to admit hat there Is a possibility of getting ho service which the town is entitled o , Is considered basis for optimistic lowing of the future. Of course that threat to move the leadquartors is so stale that it will bo iceoptod by Norfolk merely us a joke. Cvery time Norfolk bats an eye Fro- nont sees the headquarters headed its vay. The headquarters have been uoving ever since they were estnb- Ished at Norfolk. And the public generally realizes hat the headquarters were estab- ishod here primarily , nnd arc going .o be kept here , because this is the oglcnl point for them from n cold blooded business viewpoint. Doesn't Frinhten Any More. Norfolk has been frightened so of- ! en with the "Look out or the headquarters - quarters will bo moved" scream that the town's feet are immune to further Utncks of chill on that score. Norfolk doubts whether the direct ors of a great railroad would move $1100,000 worth of switch yards just jecnuse a town asked that trains be run up to the depot. That sort of a threat isn't consid- red as good argument by Norfolk. In fact , it's viewed as a confession that tliero Is no reasonable excuse for not running those trains uptown. Norfolk wonders , too , just how it is that any "ofilclal" located at Fremont lias authority to move the headquar ters today , when n week ago this town was told that nobody but the directors could even order trains run up to the Norfolk depot.
