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

and there is a three-inch flesh wound
on his left leg below the knee. He

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.
NORFOLK BOOSTER BUTTONS.
