Full of faith and trust in God, Robert Melchior departed this life Sept. 27, 1912. For many months he had felt grim disease sapping his strength, but buoyed up by hope he struggled manfully to overcome the dread foe The love and sympathy of his family and a host of friends sustained him in his affliction. Of him it may be said "He has made a good fight, He has finished his course. He has kept the faith" May we not believe that a crown is laid up for him in heaven? Our hearts are bowed down in sorrow, our spirits sore with grief. Fain would our selfish love recall him to our side but it may not be. Childish; arms are outstretched to him i baby voices call for him, but he heeds them not; for "After life's fitful fever is over he sleeps well." As that, for which men delve in deepest depths, and find encrusted with useless earth, leaves the cleansing furnace as shining yellow gold; so does the soul pass through its measure of human suffering even through the valley of the shadow of death to appea purified in the fresence of its Maker. In quiet 'airview Cemetery he is resting, where dark pines are keeping their silent watches over his grave. F.

It's fierce when a person can not go out on the street without bumping into three or four drunks. But such is the cas,e in this place and West Baden There is not a day goes by but what, if you were to stand on a corner a few moments, you could spot several of the full and near full variety. If this is the kind of a dry town we are going to have, why not open up saloons and let the county benefit therefrom. There are just as many blind tigers as there were saloons before, and they are selling just as much, if not more "booze" than heretofore, and as a whole the situation is simply rotten.

ARMAGEDDON OF THE SCRIPTURES

Mug Presentation ot Coming EVSiltS. PASTOR RUSSELL'S VIEWS, Churches of All Denominations and the Civil Powers of Earth Are About to Unite In Common Cause Powerful Influence Preparing For the Battle of Armageddon A Reign of Anarchy Will Be the Result of the Warfare Until The Messiah Takes Control. Brooklyn, N. T., : o v . 3. The Brooklyn Academy of M uslc w a s crowded to the Ilm it today to-" hear Pastor Russell's discourse ou the 'Battle of Ar ma gcddn ' Ris ie.Kt was "He gathered them togirhej unto t p!a:-e railed in Hie Hebrew tongue A r in a u e d d o n." (Revelation xvi. K.. 'Hie .speaker said: Armageddon in ihr Viehivw siguities the "Hill of Megiddo." Mmuir nf Destruction 11 vas .fatuous as a battlefield In Old Testament tin es. The Lord has seen lit to associate the name Armageddon, with hi great controversy between Tni.h and Error, right and wnng. (Jod and Mammon, with which this ne will close, perish, an'd ttie -New Age of Messiah's gfory b usheped in. fie has purposely used highly snjlmlicn! .figures of speech in Uho. last hook of the Bible, evidently wiriia view to uiuing certain important truths until the due time for their revealmenL But even In the due timo, the Bible assures us, "None of the wicked aha 11 understand" (Daniel xil, 0, 1-0 noKG who fwe out of heart harmony with ü od but only the vrise of His people:- the "wise virgin" class of the tMiwterR4)a ym bio.' I ""have kng avoided presentation of my understanding of our text and its context i tal.e it up now by request and because 1 believe it is de.e time to bo understood, i disclaim any special inspiration. In some particulars my views ngroi.' wi;h th.use f other Bible students, and in other respects they disagree. Knch heuer must use his own judgment, do Iiis own Bible study, and reach, his own-.com:lulcns. Kindly remotuhe: ihn: i am not responsible for the ligu: e of speech used by the Lord. My inicpretationa do indeed constitute a terrible arraignment of institutions which we have all reverenced and which embrace good people, of good words and gm id works. God's saintly people in these various institu tious, being einnparatlvely few, are ignored when systems as n whole are dealt with in prophecy. The Dragon. Boast," false Prophet. Our context id In us that three impure spirits (teachings- will go forth frpm the mouths of ttte Iir:tim, the Beast and the False Prophet, and these three will be in a cord, and symbolically the doc! rines are represented by "frogs." These three doctrines are to have a mighty inlhicnee throughout the civilized earth They a.e to gather the kings and their armies to the great. Battle of Armageddon. The eoclosiast ! I icings and princes, and their retinues e! dergy and faithfill adherents, will be gathered tu solid phalanx -Protectant and Catholic The kings and captains of Industry, and as many as can be influenced by them "will be gat herei I to the same side. The political kings and princes, with all their henchmen and retainers, will follow in line on the same side. The finandal kings and merchant princes, and .Mil whom they can Influence by the most gigantic power ever yet exercised in the world, will join the same side, according to this prophecy. These doctrines of demons," represented by the "frogs." will lead many noble people in this great array to as same an attitude quite contrary to their preference For a time the vh"ol? of liberty and progress will be turned backward and medieval re sfraints will be considered necessary for self preservation, for the malute nance of the present order of things In giving thrs Interpretation, it is necessary for us to Indicate what is symboil'ed by the Dragon, the Beast, and the False Prophet. Bible students of nearly all denominations agree with us that the Dragon" of Revelation represents the purely Civil Power Protestant interpreters generally agree that the "Beast like a leopard" (Reve lation xiil, 2 represents the Papacy But fewer still, we fear, will be rendv to support our view that Protestantism Is the '"Tinage of the Beast" (RevelarJor s-Ui, K) in our context given another name, "the False Prophet" We urge no ottA to nrVnf nnr tntnmmf'itlon rkrt shall we thliik hard of any who refuse it We will neither slander nor otherwise Injure them now, nor threat en them with eteTnal torture. They havb the sanlC right to their views that I have, and Che same right to make fliem kuowu to others. And I, for one. will be very glad to consider any tiling which opponents may set forth as their interpretations of our text "Unclean Spirits Like Frogs." The symbolisms of Scripture, right uy understood, are always forceful heu the Holy spirit used a "frog; to , sjmbolically represent certain

doctrines or teachings, we may be sure tho true application will tit well. A frog has a sago look, a wise look. It swells Itself up In an apparent endeavor to Impress the beholder. Its great mouth well represents its chief power, used to croak. Applying these symbols, we learn that an evil spirit, influence, teaching, will come from the Protestant churches federated, from the Churchy of Rome, and from the Civil authorities, all in full agreement The spirit of all -will bo boastful; an air of superior wisdom and knowledge will be proudly assum; ed all will croak in harmony. All will tell of dire results that would follow, Involving the interests of both the present and the future 'life, if their counsel be not followed. However conflicting tho creeds, the differences will be ignored in tho general proposition that nofhing ancient must bo disturbed, or looked into, or repudiated. The Divine authority of the Chnrch, and the Divine right of kings, aside from tbe Cburch, will not be allowed to conflict Any persons or teachings in conflict with these boastful and unscriptural cla-ims will be branded as everything vile, at the mouths of these "frogs' speaking from pulpits and platforms and through the religious and secular press. Tho nobler sentiments of some will be strangled by tho philosophy of the "same evil spirit which spoko through Caiaphas. the high priest, respecting Jesus. As Caiaphas declared it expedient to commit a crime in violation of justice, human and .Divine, to be rid of Jesus and Ells teachings, so this "frog" spirit will approve of every violation of principle necessary to their self-protection. The croaking of these "frog" spirits or doctrines will gather the kings and princes, financial, political, religion.1! and industrial into one great army. The spirit of fear, inspired by tho croakings-of these "frogs," will scourge the passions of otherwise good and reasonable men to fury, desperation, fcn their fclind following of these evil spirits, evil doctrines, they will bo ready to sacrifice life and everything on the altar of what they mistakenly suppose is justice, truth and righteousness, under a Divine arrangenut. For a brief time, as we understand the Scriptures, these combined forces of Armageddon will triumph. Free speech, free mails, and other liberties which have come to be the very breath of the masses in our day, will be ruthlessly shut off under the plea of necessity, the glory of Godjythe commands oi the Church, etc. AH will seem to be' serene, until the great social explosion In our context described as the "great Earthquake." An "earthquake," in symbolic language, signifies social revolution, and the declaration of the context is that none like unto it ever before occurred. (Revelation xvi. IS, 19.) Jesus described it as a tiiiie of trouble such as never was since .there was a nation. Matthew xxiv. 21 The Lord Will Gather Them. The false, frog-like tcacbiuga will gather together into one host the great, the rich, the wise, the learned und the kings of the earth, to buttle At this juncture Divine Power will step for ward, and our text tells us that IIB shall gather the marshaled hosts to Armageddon 1 the Mountain of Destructiou The very thing which they Bought to avert by their union, federation, etc., will be the very thing they will hasten Other Scriptures tell us that God will be represented by the Great Messiah, and that He will be on the side of the masses. Thus we read in Dtniel xii, 1: "At that time shall Michael the Godlike ÖneMessiah 1 stand up" assume authority. -He will take possession of His Kingdom in a manner little looked for by many of those who erroneously have been claiming that they were His Kingdom, and authorized by Him to reign in His name and in His stead. Jesus declared, "His servants ye ore uuto whom ye render service." Some may be rendering service to Satan and to error, who claim to bo rendering service to God and to righteousness; and some of these may be serving ignorantly, as did Saul of Tarsus, who "vorily thought that he did God a service" in persecuting the Church. The same principle holds true reversely As an earthly king does not hold himself responsible for tho moral character of each soldier -who fights in his battles, so the Lord does not vouch for tbe moral character of all who will enlist and fight on His side of any question. "His servants they aro to whom they render service," whatever the motive or object prompting them. The same principles will apply in the coming Battle of Armageddon. God's side of that battle will be the people's side, and tlfe very nondescript host, the people, will bo pitted at the beginning of the battle. Anarchists, Socialists, and hot-headed radicals of every school of reason and unreason, will be in the forefront of that battle. The majority of the poor and the middlo class prefer peace at almoit any price. A comparatively small number, God's consecrated people, will at heart be longing for Messiah's Kingdom. These will bide the Lord's time and wait patiently for it; they will be of good courage, knowing the outcome outlined In the "more sure word of "prophecy." to which they have done well to take heed, "as unto a light shining in a dark place until the Day dawn."ll Peter i, 10. The masses.jvill be restless of their restraints, but will be conscious of their own weakness as compared to the kings and princes, financial, religious and political, which will then hold sway. Besides, the masses have no sympathy with anarchy. They realize truly that tho worst form of government Is better than none. The masses will seek relief through the ballot and peaceful re-adjustment of earth's affairs for the elimination of evil, for

the placing of monopolies and utiUth -and tho supplies of nature In the banc

of tho dcodIo for the public good. T crisis will bs reached when üie hith ate hi th jcome vi ers of tl to upholders of law shall be latorff of tho law and realster; will of the majority as expressed tho ballot Fear for the future will lead the well-meaning masses to des per atlon; and anarchy will result when Socialism fails. The Cloud's Silver Lining. Horrible would be this outlook for tho futuro did we not have the Inf a I! ble Word of God assuring na of :i glorious outcome! Divine Wisdom b.i withheld until our day the great know edge and skill which is at the saLc time breeding millionaires and discon tnnfo TTn1 CLit HffnI flia rnll a fVinn. sand years sooner, the world wou l have lined up for Its Ajmageddon a thousand years sooner. But that would have been too soon for tho Divine purpose, because Messiah Kii dorn Is to be the great Thousand - Year-Sabbath of tho world's history. God In kindness veiled our eyes uutil the time when the gathering to Armageddon would immediately precede Messiah's taking to Himself His greac power, and beginning His reign. Revelation xi, 17, 18. j "Send Them Strong Delusions St Paul wrote prophetically of our V.--- V-, lUUb tu II VU1U VAAW VS. OUl IVU trial and testing to many professing to be Christians. The reason or this lie states they received not tho Truth in the love of It (II Thessaloulans II, in. 11.) They preferred their own erroneous theories, the Apostle explains, and therefore God will give them over to a "strong delusion," and let them bellevo tho lie which they preferred, and let them suffer for missing tho Truth which they did not love. Thus they will be in the condemned host, "fighting against God," because of hoIr la k of love for -the Truth. It is sad to say that we all as Christians have been laboring under a thorough delusion respectiug God's Plan. We have claimed that Christ set u;i His Church In Kingdom power, an 1 that the Church has been reigning on the earth as Ills representative tho strength of this delusion. .lews aid heretics have been persecuted t .eat M as opponents to Christ's Kingdom A 1 the while we thoughtlessly repeatcl the Lord's prayer: "Thy KingdoM comes Thy will be done on earth, as Ih Heaven We knew that tho Redeemer said that Ho would come again to make us His Bride and joint-heirs; brt we ignored tho Scriptures. We were drunk, as the Scriptures symbolical! say, "all nations were drunk" with tt u false doctrine. It Is this false doctrh e that will constitute the "frog" spirit which soon will begin to croak and to prepare J! or Armageddon. tfhe Bible presentation I? that the World is a section of tho universe i i rebellion against Divine authority, under the captaincy of Satan and his associated fallen angels. By Divine gnu e Jesus has already "tasted death for pevery man," and the merit of that sac rifice must, eventually, grant Adam an 1 his ppsterity a full, fair opportunity for the attainment of everlasting life. All who thus seek the Divlno program and are walking in the light may know something at least respecting the "time and seasons." These brethren "a:; not In darkness, that that day a. id that battle of Armageddon J should overtake" them "as a thief" unawares. Armageddon Not Yt but Soon. For forty years the Anriageddon forces have been mustering for bo'.h sides of tho conflict Strikes, lockout. and riots, great and small, have be 'i merely incidental skirmishes as ,thc beiygerent parties crossed each other s paths. Court and Army scandals in Europe, Insurance, Trust and Couit scandals in America, havo shaken public confidence. Dynamite plots, charged by turns on employees and on employers, havo further shaken con:idenco and tended to make each distrustful of the other Bitter and angry feelings on both sides aro moi;e and more manifest Tho lines of battle are daily becoming more distinctly marked. Nevertheless Armageddon cai. not y't bo fought Other matters intervene, according to prophecy. Gentile times havo still two years to run. Tho "Image of the Beast" of our context must yet receive life- power. The Image must bo transformed from a mere mechanism to a living forte. Protestant Federation realizes that Its organization will still be futile unless it receive virilization unless its eler:y directly or Indirectly shall be recognized as possessed of apostolic Ordination and authority to teach. This the prophecy indicates will come from the two horned beast, which, we believe, symbolically represents, the Church of England. High-handed activities of Protestantism and Catholicism, oierating in conjunction for the suppressi-n of human liberties, await this vivify ins of the Image. This may come soom. but Armageddon cannot precede it b it must follow perhaps a year after Itaccording to our view of the Prophecy. Still another thing Intervenes: Although the Jews are gradually llowing Into Palestine, gradually obtaining control of the laud of Canaau. and although reports say that already nineteen millionaires-are there, nevertheless prophecy requires an evidently larger number of wealthy Hebrews to be there before the Armageddon crisis be reached. Indeed we understand that "Jacob's trouble" In the Holr Land will come at the very close of Armageddon. Then Messiah's Kingdorn will begin to be manKe.tetl Thenceforth Israel in the land of promise will gradually rlse from the ash s of the past to the g'andeur of prophecy. Through !te Divinely npp"lnttd princes Messiah's Kingdom, all powerful but invisible, will bejdn to roU iR'nv flu piipsp and to lift tin mjtnlrltwL
