THE PROMISE OK A KKSlltltHC-
TIOX FROM THE DH.TD. Till:
only ur m of iioim:
FOR HUMANITY
When we look stem fad. in the
face iiml not tin- billions of hit-
iininil from creation to the present
time llii'ii pass U death lircnkiiiK
up the dealest f.mtilv lies :ind
leaving behind the most precious
treasures of eniili we wonder if it
is all life to live- or all death to die;
ami wcie it not for Cod's promise
of a resurrection of the dead and a
better liTe bcjnnd this evil condit-
ion thU world's diaina would b. a
dark one.
From Hible Chronologv man has
been upon the earth a little more
than li.OOO vears and of course the
an one he inclined to question the
Hible's statement is true Should
chronologv the vvnj is open to eptes-
its claim of being the in piled
word of (iod; and an one who
doubts the Hible being Hie inspired
word of Cod (I don't mean error
that has ciept into the Hible) is not
in a condition of heart to be taught
its deep truths not to receive the
comforts of the blessed pi onuses
therein for man.
The resurrection of Hie dead is
the most prominent feature of
Cod's Great Plan of Salvation.
Some oiic foolishly said- llieie
would not be loom enough on His
earth for all the people if all wede
lesurrecled who have lived upon
me e.iiui ana ueu since creation
to the picsent time; but such a
statemene is absoluely without
foundation for truth.
According to Hible chronologv
(i.UOll ears would loiuh from the
(ration of Ad.un down lo A. I).
1872. Now for the purpose of mak-
ing a mathematical calculation of
the human race and for the par-
pose of avoiding fi actions we will
compute the number of all possible
persons that have evei lived on
earth from Creation down In I)
1871! a period of 0000 jcais.
Get jour pencil and paper and
LI Hi assume that it is 00(10 eai.
since the creation of man and that
there were as manv persons ere
ated at the beginning as III re are
now (taking our stand ns the vear
1S72) the slimated population of
the earth at that time was four-
teen hundred million (1100000.000)
As a matter of fact the human 'race
began with onl.v one pair. ud
further let us .suppose that Ihcic
never were fewer than L 100000000
at iinv time during the 0000 vears
(but as a 'matter or fact the flood
at one time i educed Hie popula-
tion of earth to onlv eight persons)
Again let us be libeial and L-.tini.de
lluee generations to a eenlurv or
.'!!! .vears to a generation though
according to Genesis there wen
but 11 generations Iroin dain lo
the Hood a peuod of 1 (."(! v a'-s or
about 15(1 vears to each genei-i
lion.) Now let us see 0000 are 00
centuries Ji generations lo i.icli
eenlurv would give us 180 genera-
tions since dam; and 1.10(10000(1(1
to a geneiation would give 252 00(1
000000 as the total number of our
race from creation down lo 1872
according to this verj liberal citi
mate which is certainly more than
twice the actual number 'I lie
present population of earth lodate
is estimated to be about 1 000'0000(l(i
but our very liberal estimate am.
calculalios of Hie human race fron
creation to 1872 should more than
convince Hie reasonable minded
that the estimated 200 millions more
persons since 1872 to date can easi-
ly be provided for in the resurree
tjon.
Wheie .shall we find room enough
for this great multitude? I.el w-
measure the land and sea. Tin
Stale of Texas contains 277001
square miles. There are 27878 10(
square feet in a square mile and
thercfoie 00(17180000 .square fee.
in Texas. Allowing 10 square fee
as the surface covered b.v eacl
dead bodj we find that Texas a'
a cemetery would as our exngge
rated estimate of the number ol
persons that have ever lived upon
the earth. Persons standing oc-
cupy on an average about one and
two thirds lycet of space. At this
rate the population of earth at
present could stand on an area ol
88 .square miles an area less thai'
that of the city of London and Phih
delphia. And Hie Island of Ireland
(area of .'(8000 square miles
would furnish standing room for
more than twice the number whr
have ever lived on earth even at
our exaggraled estimate.
There is not much difficult m
friend in .settling (lie que linn a
to room for the resurrected dead
And when we recall to mind the
pxophee.v of Isaiah (3j:l-li) that
the earth shall yield her increase
that the desert shall rejoice and
blossom as the rose and th.it in the
wilderness shall waters break out
and streams flow in the deserts we
.see that God indicates that He has
foreseen all the necessities of His
Plan and will make ample provN-
ion for the needs of all the resur-
rected dead in what will seem a
very natural waj. 1 beg to remind
you that all these modern conven-
iences labor saving devices plans
for irrigating the deserts are all A.
H. C. principles to be perfected dur-
ing the da.v of restitution of man.
This da.v of restitution or judg-
ment dav which is 1000 jcars long
is the time God has set apart to re-
store all the willing -and obedient
of the Human race lo that perfec-
tion from which Father Adam fell
more than 0000 jear ago. God has
not judged and will not judge the
world as a whole individually for
life everlasting or death everlast-
ing until Ills set time the dav judg
ment- Heslilulion or Milennial Dav
the term Judgment Day Milennial
Da.v or Da of Heslilulion mean
one and the same thing. It is onlv
when the different wa.v s in which
God will manifest Himself to the
world of mankind during that bles-
sed period is considered that the
different names for that period ale
mentioned. For instance when
we think and lead of the awarding
of blessings for obedience and the
administering of .stripes for dis-
ohedienee we term that period the
Judgment Day. When we think
and lead of man (the willing and
obedient) being restored to all that
was lost in Father Adam we call
that period the time of Heslilulion;
and when we think and read of the
length of time require to do this
work we term it the Millenium or
a period of 100(1 cais.
As we have slated 'in previous
issues the Lord has not been deal-
ing with any one during this Gos-
pel Age but the bod members of
Christ the little Floek the Hride of
Christ and her maid the Great
Compauj. In oilier woids the
work to be Heme during this Gos-
pel Age has bcitn and is the .selec-
tion of the officers to rule and gov-
ern the world in righteousness dur-
the Judgment Da.v.

Dear Friends the character of Je-
hovah God is so far superior lo that
of fallen huinanilv that we cannot
even conceive of the length breadth
heigth and depth of God's Justice
Power Love nnd Wisdom toward
His -human creatures. lie has not
and will not permit the billions' or
humanitv (not including the Little
Flock) to come to trial for life or
death everlasting until the arrange-
ments aie complete for giving llieni
a most favorable trial.
The lesurrccrion of the dead will
take place on Judgment Day. God
h..th appointed a da.v in which lie
will judge the world in righteous-
ness Acts 17:31. The judges will
be Christ and the faithful over-
comer.s of this Gospel Age. "The
Father judgeth no man but hath
committed all judgment unto the
Son." John 5:22. The length of
the Judgment l)a will be M thous-
and .vears. "The Da.v or Judgment
and perdition of ungodlv men with
Hie Lord is a thousand vears." 2
Peter ::7-8. There is sure lo be a
resurrection of the dead. "If thcie
is no icsurrection of the dead then
not risen jour faith is vain c lire
still in j on sins." 1 Cor. 15:13-17.
"As all in Adam die even so all in
r.s tnis Gospoi Age. ail good pcaplc
at aceth go to Keavcn of Bliss
sr.d the cad ones go to Ke'ri to burn
fcre-.-cr As s matter cf Serpitu-ra

will be rewarded with evei lasting
life and the unjust be given a most
favorable trial and a chance to gain
life everlasting by .submitting to the
rules of the New Covenant which
will then he in operation..
Let us lake Jehovah at Ilis woik
when He tells us in plain Scripture
statement what the condition of the
dead is. If we lake Him as His
work Gen. 2:17; Hev. 0:2:t; IVcl II:
5-10 all will be clear.

ome Idea as to the character of .le-
tovah'jGodye will give him credit
'or having ut least as much sjm-
lathy. love and justice as the best
if fallcnthunianitj-. My friend put
hisSquestion square to yourself
md get some idea of Jehovah's
character. .Take a case like this
vvhero ipooW.ninn or woman is the
jff-spring ofj.flparents very low in
the scales morally and further that
his poorfr'man or woman was
raised under very immoral con-
litions.rtYou can readily under-
.tand that the natural bent of .such
individual? would be downward.
'ov there is within your power to
traht tothil'Individunl everlasting
ife or death eternal could vou oul
if your heart of hearts feel justi-
fiedln' passing the most severe sen
ence'uponlhts poor individual who
s it victim' of circumstances ovei
which hc"orshe has no control? I
ay colli d yoit consistently decree
ueh X sentence without first up-
lifting such individual physically
nentally and morally? I believe
the verj first tiling joti would do
vould be to strike down the evil in-
'luences that lend to drag this poor
person downward. I believe that
.on would sec to it that this in-
lividual was equipped phj'sically
uenlallj and morallv to make a
(ood and successful fight for ever-
asting life. I feel sure that jou
would see to it that if such Individ-
lal did not gain life everlasting it
would be because he or she willful-
Ij intelligently and in opposition
'.o all needed help decide lo go the
.vnv of death everlasting. 1 further
H'licve Dear Friend if it was in
our power jou would be glad lo
;ive every creature on earth ever-
asting life provided they lived
lean and Godly lives. I am sure
'on would rejoice to bring all the
broken families of earth together
n one grand and happy band. I
u-lieve this is the true sentiment of
lie Godlv inclined individual. L'n-
'ortunately the majority of the
Clergy have tgnorantlv been the
most active agents of the Adversa-
rj in that tbev have taught Hie peo-
ple that God's plan is to save all
who will be saved during this Gos-
pel Age and the rest of huiu.tnitj
to be consigned to an eternity of
torture by fire proof devils. They
have been teaching the people that
the Lord luc said in so many words
ou poor depraved sinners (not-
withstanding the fact thai you have
inherited tendencies to sin and that
vou were born and reared under

State i ews Letter
Accoiding to a statement issued
by the Interstate Commerce Com-
mission that notwithstanding an
increase in reven.ies from rates of
1 1.0 percent over the corresponding
mouth in I '.Mil the aliuount of in-
come after pajing expenses of 00
telephone companies scattered over
the I'niled Stales during August
show a decrease of 20.2 percent.
A bill has been introduced in the

lo fix the metric sjslein of weights
and ineasuies as the single standard.
Christ shall be made alive." 1 Cor.
15:22.
Tlieee are to lie two deshnee'-
tions a first and a seond. The elec-
tors the Liltlc Flock ate lo have
part in the first or chief ics-
urrection -at the close or the Gospel
Age in order to be with the Lord
and help judge the world in right-
eousnes during the Judgment Dav.
Theirs is a blessed portion." Hless-
ed and Holy is lie that halh part in
ter the first resurreclion"Hev. 20:0.
The Church the Little Flock the
electors shall be partakers of the
Divine Nature." 2 Peter 1:1. Af-
ter the first resurrection is cnmplcl
ed and the Judges Christ and Ilis
Hride take tehir seats tlien.at their
command the door to the Prison
House or Death must fly wide open
and let Hie billions of Satan's cap-
tives come forth to judgment. "The
hour is coming in which all thai are
in their graves shall hear Ilis voice
and shall come forth unto resurree
shall lltie." John 5:28. The pro-
Hon of judgment. Jno. 5 28-29.
"Thcj that hear (obe.v) in that dav
shall live." John 5:28. The pro-
per rendition in John 5:28-2!) is that
those who have done evil will be
resurrected by jodgmeut stripes
discipline and does not sa icsur-
rected to damnation as it stated in
Hie King James' Version.
We have much to be thankful for
in thi'se closing dajs of the (Jospel
Age when the lights of Gods Plan of
Salvation is shining as nevcit be-
fore. We are so glad that the
Judgment Day is a time foi the
blessing and uplifting of all the
willing and obedient and not a time
when the literal earth shall be lite-
rallj burned up. During that dav
"times of refreshing shall come
from the presence of the Lord."
Acts 3:111-21; "The earth shall jield
her increase." Psa. 07:0; "The in-
habitants of earth shall not say I am
sick." Isaiah 3.'t:G. I'he eyes of
the blind shall be opened and the
ears unstopped. (Isaiah 35:5.)
In conclusion I beg to remind all
uiifailhf.il servants ami those who
know not the trulh and who spend
most of their lime advancing their
own selfish plans that the millions
vou have preached into error and
into Heaven and into a burning Hell
will soon condemn jou in lite tes-J
tirre'clion day wlten tnev return and
have no storv lo tell "of being In
a Heaven of Hliss or a Hell of fire
storking with fire proof elevils.
There is positively no Scriptural
grounds for Hie false ilea that dur-
