THE ARMAGEDDON OF THE SCRIPTURES

Pastor Russell Presents Some Astounding Views. He Claims That the Time For tha Establishment of Messiah’s Kingdom Is Here—Not Recognizing This Truth, Papacy, Protestantism and the Civil Powers of Earth Are About to Unite In Common Cause —Unitedly These Three Most Powerful Influences Are Preparing For the Battle of Armageddon.

don” (Revelation xvi, 16). He said: Armageddon in the Hebrew signifies the Mount of Destruction. The Lord has associated the name Armageddon "with the controversy between Truth and Error, during which the New Age of Messiah's glory will be ushered in. “Unclean Spirits Like Frogs.” Three unclean spirits will proceed from the mouth of the Beast, the Dragon and the False Prophet, and will assemble the kings and their armies on one side for the great Armageddon battle. In this symbolie&Hanguage, doctrines are represented as “frogs.” Frog characteristics are pomJteusness, inflation of dignity, and croaking. The symbol signifies that these three Systems will send forth similar teachings. They will look wise, and see little respecting differences between them. They will prate on Apostolic Authority, the Divine prerogatives of ihe clergy and the civil power. They will croak respecting the results of personal and press liberties and cause the wheels of progress to turn backward. The kings and their armies represent political kings, princes and retainers; commercial kings, princes and retainers; and religious kings, princes and retainers. Each of these will marshal millions of humanity. The croaking of the “unclean spirits” wilt bring these to a condition of frenzy.

The Dragon of Revelation represents the Civil power: the leopard represents Papacy; “False Fropliet” is another name for the Image of the Beast of Revelation xiii,.-d4, 15—Federated Protestantism. Good people iu these Systems are being led into the Armageddon battle without realizing - that they are to “fight against God.” The Bible declares that God has committed to the Gentile Governments the privilege of ruling the earth during a period of 2,520 years-“ The Times of the Gentiles.” Meantime, God has been electing a saintly few froSn all nations, to be associated with Messiah in His Kingdom. Neglecting the teachings of the Bible, Christendom thinks that their armies are to fight the Christian warfare. Suddenly the most terrible revolution will occur. (Revelation xviii. 10; xvi. 18.) The masses will hope for victory through the ballot. When this final recourse shall have failed the social explosion will bring anarchy. “There shall be a time of trouble such as never was since there was a nation.” (Daniel xii, 1.) Our Lord added. “Except those days be shortened. there could no flesh be saved.” (Matthew xxiv, 21, 22.) But the Elect, with their glorious Head, will Install “the New Heavens and Earth.” Armageddon Not Yet but Soon.

For forty years the Armageddon forces have been mustering for conflict. Strikes, lockouts and riots. Court and Army scandals in Europe, Insurance, Trust and Court scandals iu America, have shaken public confidence. Dynamite plots, charged by turns on employees raid on employers, havte made each distrustful of the other. The Hues of battle are distihctly marked. But Armageddon cannot yet be fought, according to prophecy. Gentile times have still two years to run. The “image of the beast” of our context must be transformed from a mere mechanism to a living force. Protestant Federation realizes that its organization will be futile unless it receive vitalization—unless its clergy be recognized as possessed of apostolic ordination to teach. This the prophecy Indicates will come from the two-hom-ed beast, symbolically representing the Church of England. Protestantism and Catholicism, operating in conjunction for the suppression of human liberties, await this vivifying of the Image, which Armageddon must follow — perhaps a year after, according to the Prophetic Word. Still another thing intervenes: Although the Jews are gradually obtaining control of Palestine, and although nineteen millionaires are there, nevertheless prophecy requires au evidently larger number of wealthy Hebrews to be there before the Armageddon crisis. “Jacob's trouble” in the Holy Laud will come at the very close of Armageddon. Then Messiah’s Kingdom will begin to be manifested in the land of promise. Through Its Divinely appointed princes Messiah’s Kingdom, all-pow-erful but Invisible, will begin to roll •way the curse and lift op mankind.

FORMER PASTOR AT REMINGTON WRITES

Sow Paator of Los Angeles Church N. H. Sheppard Writes to Old Friends In This County. The following letter was written on July 10th, 1912, by R#t. Nathan Hoyt Sheppard, of Los Angeles, Cal., to Mr. and Mrs. Frank E. Fisher, of Remington, and is published in The Republican at the earnest solicitation o? friends. Rev. Sheppard was formerly pastor of the Christian church at Remington and had a wide aequaintanct as a minister. The letter will be- read with interest by all who have known him. It is as follows: 133 W. 39th St., Los Angeles, Cal. July 10, 1912. Frank E. Fisher and Wife, Remington, ind. Dear Friends: My mind turns back today in memory of youth, and so 1 will write you a short letter while in that mood. Since our little boy was taken so tragically by revolver accident August 19, 1909, life to me has not been that gala day it was before, and correspondence with old time friends has not been so regular.

I am forty-eight years old the 14th of July, next Sunday, and so am not as young as I used to be. We arrived in Los Angeles October 16th, ,1911, and took the pastorate of the South Main street Christian church October 18th, two days thereafter. We have twenty-three Christian chucrhesjn Los Angeles and the church for which I minister, while not a large church, is a live wire and we are getting along nicely in the work. In the nine months we have been here we have had twenty-five additions to the church membership. I remember when I graduated in the law at Valparaiso in 1888. I receivec a letter from my old teacher’s nurse from this place telling me that my old teacher, Will A. Redding, who taught the Rosy Ridge school in Gilboa township when I was eight and nine years old, was lying critically ill, almost a skeleton, in the sands of southern California, taking the sand baths for his treatment, and while he was unable to write me himself, he congratulated me on my finishing the law course, and praised me for my struggle against adverse circumstances, and so I have found a severe struggle all the way along life’s pathway against poverty, ignorance, sin and death, having lost four of my own house through tragical deaths, having four, a wife, a hoy and two girls still with me in the flesh. I have gained considerable mastery over poverty, ignorance and sin, but the death of those 1 loved so dearly has been the hardest for me to submit to, but I feel that it will all turn out right in the great afterwhile for “I shall see my Pilot's face when I have crossed the bar,” and meet my little ones again so long gone before. “It doth not yet appear that we shall be but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.” I want to refer again to W. A. Redding and say that the last time I heard from him he was living in Navarre, Kansas, perfectly cured of a disease of which he was so desperately ill, that all of the excrement coming from his body unnaturally passed through his mouth, and he said that he was cured by Faith, Brothers Charley is in lowa, Will ii New Mexico, Ed in Minneapolis, Win in Montana, and sisters Dotie is in Montana, Jennie in South Dakota and myself in the Golden Southland. Is not that a s,catterment? Father came from New Jersey by the Atlantic and his youngest son beholds the peaceful Atlantic one in a while when he travels to it thirteen miles- aWay, this in two generations and seventy years. California climate is a marvel. When we were reading in March of people freezing to death in Chicago we were having beautiful autumn weather and now we are reading of heat prostrations and deaths in that city by the lake, the alternating breezes from the mountains and the ocean make of Los Angeles and vicniity an eternal summer resort. The great drawback is the long dry months from April to December, and its accompanying dust and monotony, but as to comfortable atmosphere we have it to perfection, three and four covers at night in winter and one or two all through the summer. It gets very hot at times and in the sun when the breeze stops a while, but most all of the time the breeze from one or the other source gives us a paradisfe in which to live. They say back in the valley where the breeze does not strike, near Arizona, in the Imperial Valley, it gets so hot three months that it is like an oven or the Sahara Desert. Up at San Francisco, the breezes and the fog are more stimulating to the body. They sat that after you live here a few years your blood gets thin and you get lazy and cold blooded and so can’t stand much cold, not even that little we have here, but I guess that if one from the East still keeps up his hustle he will never get that way. Perhaps the next generation will get that thin blooded but not the one from Indiana. They dry farm one crop here in some places in the spring that is like back East, without irrigation, but more than that they must irrigate. Alfalfa irrigated grows a crop .each month for seven months of one to two tons per acre, worth sl2 per ton. Oranges must always be irrigated and so must lemons and all semi-tropical fruits. Oranges are ripening on Jhe same tree at least six months in the year and a lemon tree in the yard has had lemons on it at different stages of development ever since we have been here, nine months. When an orange Is ripe you can hold it well- preserved on the tree by irrigation and careful attention -for three or four months and so market it when the market is the best. But, oh! land is so high near here; from SSOO to $5,000 per acre. Away of in the valleys or desserts where you have to put In pumping plants to irrigate costing several thousand dollars, unimproved land can be bought for

In 1912 they count on 1,000,000 and by the end of the century they look for it to be the metropolis of the world. To the north and east the mountains tower in granduer twenty-five miles away; to the south and west thirteen miles away, the ocean rolls and tosses on forever surrounded on all sides by rich soils and a splendid climate. The attractions are so great that people are rushing in here by the thousands and tens of thousands, from Japan, India, Russia, China and the islands of the seas. Ten years ago there were fourteen Christian preachers in Indianapolis. Three of us now have churches in or near Los Angelas. Progressive thought is in the air.

HOLD BRIDE CHOOSING DAY.

Moving-Picture Machine to Reveal Mystery of “Chlnadec” In Brittany. Saint Jean du Doigt, Brittany.— More than usual interest has attended the annual “Chlnadec” or “Bride-choos-ing Day,” which is one of the festivals of this old-fashioned town of Brittany. A moving-picture apparatus has been present and has taken many pictures. The custom dates back to thq middle ages, when, it is said, the laws of the church were so strict that no marriage between relatives to within the eleventh degree was permitted. JJie result was that young men could noY

find brides evep in neighboring villages, and rather long journeys had to he made to find eligible girls elsewhere. It was then that the church, after an understanding with the feudal lord of the place, who had a right to a fee for each marriage, arranged a common bridal day every year after Eastern, and the custom has been maintained to the present. The day is observed as one of great religious solemnity. There is no music or band, no dance of any kind —as, in fact, dancing has. always been forbidden at St. Jean du Doight because of the story of St. John the Baptist having been ordered to be beheaded by Hercd after a dance. j From one to two hundred girls air tent mass In the morning, and at 3 in the afternoon they again attend vespers in the old Gothic church. They are dressed in Bretagne fashion, of all colors, and wear long embroidered shawls reaching to their feet, and carry a mass book and an umbrella. The young men stroll about some distance away on the walks, and seem -to be rather indifferent. From time to time one of them leaves his friends and goes to the girl whom he has chosen. He salutes her ceremoniously, and speaks to her. Then the umbrella plays an Important role. If it is handed over to the young man, his proposal is accepted, and it is rare that it is not. The girl usually hesitates for «a few minutes for the sake of decorum. The young man walks away to give the girl a last chance to reflect, and still retains his air of indifference. Finally, after a few minutes of waiting, which seem to be only a traditional delay, the girls leaves the ranks and follows the young man, who then invites her to a small collation. Little by little the inns become crowded with young couples, who are thus partaking of a sort of frugal bridal repast. When night comes the couples return to the house of the chosen bride, and a real bridal supper is then given by the parents. / The girls who have not been chosen do not seem to be disappointed. They remain about the church till dusk, and sometimes till it is perfectly dark. If their parents are kind to them nothing is said, but it often happens that the unfortunate girls who failed to be chosen are roundly scolded when they return home without an intended husband. ,

FREED CONVICT IS HIRED

Seattle Man Released Recently Goes Back to Old Position on Salary. "■ t Seattle, Wash. —George Edward Adams, who was released after serving more than five years Iq the federal penitentiary at McNeil Island for the theft of many thousand dollars’ worth of gold dust from the Seattle assay office, has returned to take up the position of bookkeper wjiich he occupied during his incarceration, not, however, as a prisoner, but as a civilian, at a palary of $1,200 a year. Friends of Adams worked for his release and succeeded In getting the parole, which cut off ten years, which good behavior and model conduct reduced to six years and eight months. Adams made application for a temporary position, but according to the appointment it may be permanent and Warden Halligan will endeavor to keep him there, as his work has been more than satisfactory.

The new line leaves the original survey at the college lands and angles southwest. The crew is about seven miles from town. Ross Wolf, son of John B. Wolf, living just east of Newland, was kicked by a mule this morning and severely bruised at the lower part of the abdomen, in the stomach, and on one shoulder and one arm. Apparently the mule had kicked him three or four times. Very fortunately he was not seriously injured and no bones were broken. He will probably be able to get out within a few days. He is about 24 years of age. Frank Wolf, who was engaged in the lumber business here some twenty years ago; today told of having sold a bill of lumber amounting to $64 to a man named Harrison/ who owned a farm of 94 acres southeast of Rensselaer.' The farm was almost altogether under water and could not be tiled. The lumber was used for building a shed on the highest point on the farm. When the bill was presented Mr. Harrison offered to give Mr. Wolf a deed to the farm in exchange for the lumber bill. Mr. Wtolf declined. Today the farm is worth every cent of SIOO an acre and probably more. Drainage is responsible for the improvement. Frank has wished many times since then that he had receipted the bill and taken the deed.
