PASTOR RUSSELL

spectlng the speaker’s unpleasant duty Implied in his text and his preference for speaking only pleasant things. The Pastor has the happy faculty of stating pungent truths kindly and sympathetically. He speaks from the heart and carries conviction..

He then demonstrated from Scripture that our Redeemer and His disciples knew nothing whatever about the distinction between clergy and laity. With great humility Jesus declared that His Message was of the Father. He taught His disciples to seek only that honor which cometh from Above. “One Is your Master, eVen Christ; and all ye are brethren,” was His way of forewarning us against the error which afterward divided the Lord’s people.

The Start pf the Error. The growth of this erroneous doctrine was then traced from Its beginning in the Fourth Century, when the bishops became dignitaries in the Church and sought to impress the rulers with their importance. Emperor Constantine endeavored to strengthen his political power by granting honor to ali Christians who acknowledged the Nicene Creed and especially to the Bishop of Rome. In the following century the power of the bishops was greatly increased by various false doctrines which gradually crept in. Amongst these was that of a fiery Hell of torture, followed by the theory that members of the true Church would never be sent there, but to Purgatory, where a second chance for Heaven would be furnished them.

The clergy gradually grasped more power and money for services now and hereafter. Marriages not performed by them would not be valid. Then followed the theory of infant damnation, classification of sins, fixing of penalties, arranging for masses, etc. All these bound the people to the clergy and separated them from the simplicity of the Gospel. As the Roman Empire went to pieces, the Bishop of Rome became, more prominent, and assumed the title Pontifex Maximus, previously held by the Caesars. Another doctrine thoroughly separated clergy and laity—that the former constitute the Church, the laity being children of the Church. This accounts for the Catholic custom of calling, ordained clfergy Father. The year 800 found the Church making higher claims than ever before; namely, that then the Church became the Kingdom of God. Catholics still hold that the Millennium began that year, and that the Popes are Christ’s Ylcegefent—reigning Ih His stead. The clergy, separated from the people by a great gulf, represented the Elect of God, holding the destinies of the laity In their control; the laity dependent upon them for baptism, marriage, etc.Protestants and Christ’s Kingdom.

The separation of Christ’s followers into clergy and laity was established for centuries before the Reformation. It was but natural for Protestants to copy practises and doctrines with which they had been familiar from childhood. Consequently we see everywhere forms of godliness without its power—lip reverence without much manifestation of Christ’s Spirit Protestants are much confused respecting Papacy’s claim that Christ’s Kingdom has been set up. They, of course, deny that the Popes are Christ’s Vicegerent Nevertheless, they hav£ followed Papacy’s leg,d hd.teUing earthly rulers that their kingdoms are part of Christ’s Kingdom—“ Christendom." They send chaplains with the armies and navies of these kingdoms, receive financial support and recognition from them, and call upon the civil power to suppress so-called heretics, refusing them license to preach, etc. They thus closely follow in their mother’s footsteps. Altogether, these false doctrines are surely responsible, not only for many past wars, but also for the present European war. We may assume that some of the clergy, Catholic and Protestant, are honestly doing what they believe to be God’s will in these matters. But we are bound™to believe that thousands are not deceived—that they know full well that the world is ruled, not by Christ and His teachings, but by self-seeking kings, princes, nobles, financiers, politicians, etc. But what have the ministers of “Christendom" done to open people’s eyep to the truth on this subject—to tell them that kingdoms are not' Christ's lh" any sense? ' Now, as the hour of their Judgment approaches, they deserve our sympathy.

New York City, Dee. 6. Pastor Bussell, at New York City Temple, W. 63rd st and Bway., took for bis text today, “CRY ALOUD, space not; show My people their t ra n s g resslon.”— Isaiah 58:1. The address was prefaced with some remarks re-

SHE WHACKED CONSUMPTION.

Red Cross Seals Are a Powerful * Weapon. She was richly, gowned and bedecked with furs and jewtels. He was a shabby, wlsen faced sort of man. Both of them came up to the Red Cross Seal booth at the same time. “My wife Is dying with consumption," be said In a husky voice, “an’ we ain’t got much money, because I’m out of work, but she did want me to buy five of them seals. She says If she can take a whack at consumption aforre she dies she’ll rest easier, an’ I guess she wilL" He wiped his eyes with his knuckles and reached for the package of seals which the pretty attendant had put up for him.

“Where do you live?" said the richly dressed woman, who had been an Interested listener to the shabby man’s brief story. He gave an address In one of the poorest tenement bouse neighborhoods. “I was going to buy a few seals for my little girl," said the woman, “but your wife’s desire to get a whack at consumption has shown me what I should do. Please give me SSO worth, miss. Tell your wife she whacked consumption harder than she expected.”

RED CROSS BEALS DECREASE TUBERCULOSIS RATE.

“Would to God your work had started fifty years ago,” was the comment of an Arizona consumptive in writing the other day to Dr. Hoyt E. Dearholt, executive secretary of the Wisconsin Anti-tuberculosis association. Part of the letter follows: “Fine work, old chap! That decrease In the death rate seems a remarkable gain to me. I had not expected results as soon as that I have always laughed at the authorities who claimed that in ten years a case of tuberculosis would be as rare as one of smallpox is today. The bad work of centuries cannot be undone in ten years, and so I marvel at your wonderful progress. I trust the errors in statistics, if any, are all in your favor. You inspire me. Would to God your work had started fifty years ago. Probably then {he disease would have missed me.” The letter contained a check for Bed Cross Seals, from {be sale of which the entire support pf the Wisconsin work is derived. Every seal yoq buy is a bullet In the fight *galpst tuberculosis.

ELLEN EXPLAINS RED CROSS SEALS .

Ellen, who Is seven yean old and Uvea out in Kansas City, came hopiie from school the other day with a red, green and white “subscription card” the teacher had given her. Her mother had seen something about Red Cross Seals in the paper, bnt didn’t know just what it was all about “Oh,” said the seven-year-old proudly, “don’t you know? They use the money to take care of sick folks—sick folks that haven’t got any money to take care of ’emselves. The money they get from the Santy Claus seals goes to run a hospital for those folks. And they pay doctors and nurses to teach people how to get well and how not to get sick. Teacher told ns dll about It See, this paper tells.” Then Ellen’s mother read the folder that small daughter had brought home, telling how often tuberculosis can be prevented, and when she had finished she signed the card for a liberal number of seals. ’

SOME RED CROSS SEAL FIGURES.

Pew people have any conception of the magnitude of the Red Cross Christmas Seal Campaign. Here are a few figures that will show what a gigantic movement this is. Already 113,000.000 seals have been printed and practically that entire number distributed to agents ip almost every state In the Unkm. Probably 15.000X100 more will be needed. Advertising circulars, posters, cards, etc., to the number of several million, have been distributed. It is estimated that the army of paid and volunteer jyorkere engaged in selling seals numbers well over 100,000. The advertising and putfildty donated to the’ campaign amounts to several hundred thousand dollars.
