ETERNAL LIFE PROMISED RIGHT HERE ON EARTH Judge Rutherford of N. Y. Delivers Lecture at Murat Theater. TEACHINGS FROM BIBLE Millions of persons now living in the world are as*surel of eternal life on this globe, declared Judge Rutherford, president of the. International Bible Students Association of Brooklyn, N. Y„ in a lectture delivered Sunday afternoon at Murat Theater. By this statement the speaker made it plain that he did not have reference to some form of spiritual or ethereal life, but to an actual physical existence on earth. His arguments are based on Bible quotations and from these he deduces that the Messianic reign of peace and everlasting life to those who believe will begin with the year 1925. In part Dr. Rutherford said: “The natural state of mail is perfection of organism, mind and character, dwelling on the earth in peace and happiness. God created him for that purpose. Ke made the earth for his home. Man's present condition of sorrow, suffering and death is unnatural. It is the result of sin. HARMONIES OF SCRIPTURE. The scriptures harmoniously teach that man was created and endowed with the authority to have dominion and ruiership over the earth. He was informed that such conditions would continue perpetually and that his disobedience of God's law would forfeit all suc-h rights, privileges and blessings. He did violate the law of Jehovah and as a result was deprived of his perfect home in Eden, sentenced to death, and that sentence gradually enforced against him by compelling Mm to dwell outside of Eden in the unfinished part of earth and to feed upon the poisonous elements until dissolution resulted. During that period of time the first man begat children and they were born; and the result of the father's disobedience was visited upon the children; hence St. Paul writes, “Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned.” “Because of these facts, death has reigned on the earth for many centuries. During the short period of time that men have lived the majority of them hare cultivated selfishness, resulting in oppression, persecution, war, revolutions, profiteering and wrongdoing in general. WOULD MUST COME TO END. “For nineteen centuries Christians have agreed that the world must come to an end some time, anrl when that time shall arrive then the judgment of the world will he here and the time for the blessing of those who love righteousness and hate iniquity. While all are agreed that the world must come to an end, many have misunderstood the meaning of that term. The end of the world does not mean the end of the earth, because ‘the earth nbideth forever.’ The term world as used in the scriptures does mean a certain social order of things existing for a specific period of time. There was such a world, known as the first world, from Adam to the flood, which passed away: and then began the second world or order of things, which St. Peter describes in his second epistle, chapter 3. “We knew that the World War would begin in 1914. because the gentile lease of power there ended. In the year GOG D. C., Zedekiah, the last king of Israel, was dethroned and the first universal gentile dominion was established; and God promised that the gentiles would be permitted to control the earth for a period of 2,520 years, which period necessarily must end in 1914'A. D. When the crown was removed from Zedeklah, .Tehova said; "Remove the diadem, take off the crown. I will overturn it until he shall come whose right it is and I will give it to him.” And the Revolator speaking of the same time said: “We give thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art and wast and art to come, because thou hast taken to thee thy at power and reigned. And the nations were angry and thy wrath is come.” (Revelation 11:17, 18.) The notions did become angry at the end of the gentiie dominion and are stiil so. IMPARTIAL TRIAL FOR EVERY MAN.

“Millions of people now living on earth expect to live five, ten, fifteen, or even twenty years more. If the restoration begins within that time, then if they die at nil it will be their own fault, because with the beginning of restoration every man wil! be offered one fair and impartial trial for life. When the childvj of Israel entered the land of Canaan In the year 1575 B. C., God commanded that tney should keep a jubilee every fiftieth year thereafter for a period of time coverflng seventy Jubilees, or for 8,500 years. During the Jubilee every man who had lost property must have it restored to him. The Apostle Paul plainly chows us that the thing pertaining to the law of the Jewish people foreshadowed the greater things to happen. This, dealing with the Jews foreshadowed the great anti-typical Jutilee. God commanded that the type should be repeated every fifty years. Whether the Jews did this or not It would in no wise affect the time feature. The counting of the type began 1575 B. C„ and, covering a period of 3,500 years, must of necessity end In 1925, at which time the great jubilee, according to all rules of Biblical construction, must begin. Therefore, 1925 must mark the beginning of the period of restoration mentioned by the apostle, as above quoted. The promises of restoration and lasting life must bo fulfilled some time; otherwise they would not have been recorded in the Bible. WHEN WARS fcHALB CEASE. Under the reign of Messiah all wars shall cease and s he peoples shall beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks; the profiteers shall no longer be permitted to prey upon the people; famines shall not longer afflict mankind, because the earth shall yield her increase for man's benefit; suffering and sickness will pass away and the inhabitant of the land shall no more say, I am sick; funerals will be a thing of the past; families seperated by death will be restored to one another, because all the dead shall come forth and have a trial for life; the greedy landlords will no more be permitted to oppress the people, because then the people shall build houses and live in them; they shall not build and another inhabit; and they shall not plant and another eat. but every man shall sit under his own vine and Jigtree. The great climax will be reached by giving to every obedient one life everlasting in a state of happiness, and the privilege of dwelling upon the earth forever in joy—that which God Intended for man from the beginning.” Public Confused Over Movie War Tax Special to The Times. MU2CCIE, Ind., Jan. 2.—Muncle theater men fought the war all over again Sunday and today. The cancellation of luxury tax on many things caused persons to go to the movies without their pennies and many refused to enter at all when they found the war tax was still being charged. Some of the houses say their business fell off 25 per cent Sunday because people thinking the owners were continuing the tax and putting the money Ju their own pockets, refused to buy tickets.

American World Trade at Lowest Ebb in 1921 Faces Bright Prospects

WASHINGTON. Jan.^2.— American commeree, staggering under the greatest an- ! nual losses in its history, faced the new year today with bright prospects for a complete recovery. America’s world trade during 1921 totaled only $7,030,000,000 in round figures, the lowest volume of international business recorded for this country since before the war. According to the Depart xneut of Commerce, this represented a losa of $6,500,000,000 over the volume of commerce transacted in 1920, the “peak” year in American trade. The downward plunge of the Nation’s commerce, however, halted in the fall of last year and in December reports showed an upward trend had started. Government experts today were optimistic of the new year, confidently predicting a sharp recovery in American world trade. BUSINESS DEPRESSION OF LAST YEAR. Both imports and exports felt the full force of depression during 1921, although Government experts were quick to declare the declines “only natural” after the peak year of 1320. Imports for last year, totalling only $2,500,000,060, were less than half the imports of the previous year and the lowest in the last five years. Similarly, toe total exports, amounting

Ship Safe in Port After Fight in Gale NEW YORK, Jan. 2. —After having battled a northwestern gale that for many hours attained a velocity of 120 miles an hour, the steamship Araguaya .of the Royal Mail Steamship Packet Company was safe at her pier here today. The vessel sailed from Cherbourg and Southampton and carried a large passenger complement. For eight hours of the trip Capt. G. S. Gillard was forced to cut down the ship's speed and lay to.

in round figures to $4,500,000,000, were only 54 per cent of the previous year’s totals and also the lowest recorded in the last five years. IMPORTS EXCEED EXPORTS. One serious condition revealed by the year's commercial reports was the gain of imports over exports. In 1919 the exports held the lead by $3,020,000,000, while in the following year this lead fell off to $2,950,000,000. Last year, however, imports climbed on a comparative scale until the lead of exports was cut to $2,000,000,000. This was a comparative loss of $1,000,000,000 in two years. The Nation's export trade showed a loss in volume with every country in the world, excepting only Mexico and Germany, as compared to the previous year. The losses ranged from 30 to 70 per cent. The gain in exports to Mexico totaled $45,000,000, while the increase in trade to Germany totaled $109,000,000. Heavier shipments of wheat, corn, cotton and lard accounted for the increases. IMPORTS AND EXPORTS COMPARED. The loss in exports to Great Britain amounted to $813,900,000, compared to* 1920’s trade, while $308,000,000 loss was marked in the export trade to Canada. At the same time a decline of $290,090,000 in the trade to Cuba and of $155,000,000 in the trade to Japan were also noted. In imports America bought less during the year as compared to 1920 from every nation excepting only Greece. The losses ranged from 20 to 80 per cent. The imports from Greece rose about $1,200,000 due to heavy buying of leaf tobacco. The 80 per cent loss was recorded in trade from the Dutch East Indies, but the greatest monetary loss oo purred in Cuban imports, which fell off $500,000,000. Imports from Great Britain declined $280,000,000 while there was a loss of $248,000,000 in Canadian goods. Almost $200,000,000 less Japanese goods were brought to American shores, while all South American goods showed heavy declines. A peculiar feature of the year's trade was that although a loss of $813,000,0)0 was recorded In exports to Great Britain compared to n loss of only $250.000.000 in British imports here, America continued to send more goods to England than were received here from that nation. The total exports to Great Britain were $950,000,900 (approximate) and the lor ports were only $240,000,000.
