one, what a splendid opportunity to
call attention to the precious prom-
ises of the Scriptures. For instance,

of man, of his fall, of the redemption from weeping, and thine eyes from

We note the words of the prophet:
"He (Jehovah) keepeth back his
(man's) soul from the pit, and his
life from perishing by the sword. He
(man) is chastened also with pain
upon his bed, and the multitude of
his bones with strong pain: so that
his life abhorreth bread, and his soul

(Jeremiah 31:15-17). The land of the
enemy is the land of death, because
death is the great enemy; and the
Lord will call back all who have gone
into that condition, and during hia
reign he will destroy death.—1 Corin-
thians 15:25, 26.
Appeal to the Clergy
It is not my thought to hold up the
clergy to ridicule, but rather would I
appeal to them that they fulfill their
duty and obligation to the people in
this hour of distress. I would remind
them that the commission given to all

" Never was there such a time to
the Lord's kingdom. St. Peter stated
that the faithful ones, according to
God's promise, look for such "new
heavens and a new earth, wherein
dwelleth righteousness."—2 Peter 3:
13.
When John the Revelator was serv-
ing his sentence on the isle of Pat-
-mos, our Lord showed approval of
him and visited him and graciously
granted to him a marvelous vision,
which is recorded as a part of the
Holy Scriptures. With ecstasy that
inspired witness of the Lord wrote:
"And I saw a new heaven (invisible
ruling power) and a new earth (or-
ganized society): for the first hea-
ven and the first earth (the old order)
were passed away; and there was no
more sea. And I John saw the holy
city ((the kingdom of Messiah), now
Jerusalem, coming down from God
out of heaven, prepared as a bride
adorned for her husband. And I
heard a great voice out of heaven,
saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God
is with men, and he will dwell with
them, and they shall be his people,
and God himself shall be with them,
and be their God. And God shall
wipe away their tears from their
eyes; and there shall be no more
death, neither sorrow, nor crying,
neither shall there bd any more pain:
for the former things are passed a-
way. And he that sat upon the
throne said, Behold, I make all things
new. And he said unto me, Write:
for these words are true ana faithful."
Revelation*21:l-5.
No one can gainsay this positive
and conclusive promise that under the
Messiah's reign death shall be de-
stroyed, and sorrow, sighing and cry-
ing shall cease, and that all who are
obedient shall be restored to life, lib-
erty and happiness. And since the
old order is passing away and the
new is coming in, we can with confi-
dence proclaim that glad message
that millions now living on the earth
will be granted the opportunity for
life everlasting and those who obey
shall never dies, but shall be restored
and live in happiness, joy and peace
upon the earth forever.
