A synopsis of the luure delivered in Hammond. Crown Point and a number of ofhfr cities in the Calumet reKfr,n yf sterday. A rooiI attendance is reported in most places. The regeneration of the. human race has been th hope- of Christians for cnturies. which hope 1m based upon Ood'a promises. To Abraham he said: thy eeed shall all the families or of the earth b bleseed." (Genesis II: 3; I2:1S). This promised bler.sln? is life everlasting- Romans 6:C3. The opening: chapters of the Bible tell of the creation of perfect rnan In

his habitation in a. perfect home. Eden; of his violation of the divine law and his sentence to death. By inheritance all of his offspring have been born Imperfect, therefore sinners, and In a dying condition. (Romans 5:12). God made promine to redeem man from death (Hosea 13:14), t,bts redemption to be accomplished only by the willin sacrifice of a re.rfect man. God ,.nt his Son Jesus into the world for that P..rD(6. (John 5:16). He came

to ransom man from the power of the i

crate (Matthew ;o::s. that the peopia mishit have life. (John 10.10). He died for the benefit of all men (Hebrew I:S), which testimony must be given to all men In God's d'ie time. (1 Timothy 2:5. 6). At tnat due time very man shall hear the. truth tausht b-r Jesus, who promised: "If a man

v-eer Tnv siviiiff he shall never 8

rfeath " (John 8:51). There must

a due time for all men to hear the

truths before they can be kept. The firt six verses of Revelation

stated to be during the reign of Chris He (Christ) must retarn tilt be ba'

death." 1 Corinthians 15:25, 25. It is evident from the foregoing Scriptural proof that there must come .time when the people will have an opportunity for life, peace and happiness. The question is. When? St. Teter answers this question, saying: "Times of rereshlng shall come from the presence of the Lord; and He (God) shall send Jesus Christ, who before was preached unto you. whom the heaven must retain until the times of restoration of all things, which Hod bath spoken by the month of all his holy prophets since the world bepan. . . Tea, and all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow after, as many a, have spoken, have likewise foretold of these days." (Acts 3:13-21. 24). Tins tatement conclusively proves that at the second coming of Christ and duringbis reign the obedient ones of the human race will be restored to exactly what Adam lost, viz., perfect roanhood and a perfect home. Twenty-four of the holy prophets of Jehovah foretold the coming time or such restoration of man. These prophets spoke with divine authority. The disciples of Jesus, knowing of the testimony of these holy prophets and of the coming time of restoration propounded to Jesus this question: -Master, tell us how may we know of the time of thy presence and of the end of the world.' (Matthew 24:3). The answer to Jesus to this question was tlear and conclusive, understandable by men when the events mentioned by bim should be fulfilled. The answer shows in connection with other Scriptures, that the end of the world and the setting up of Messiah's kingdom will mark the beginning of the restoration of man. and from that time forward millions of people living on earth will neve die. The first Important question, ffeen. Is, What is meant by the end of the world and when does it occur? "World means t-ocial and political order enduring for a time certain. The lease of gentile dominion began, according to Bible chronology and history, 605 B. C, wa" to continue for 2. .".?( years, and necessarily ended in 1914, which marks the end of the present order, at which time its disintegration should be expected.. Tesus stated that when that time arrived there would be a world war. famine, pestilence, and revolutions in various parts of the earth, marking the beginning of the world's ending. All these things have been fulfilled since 1 1 4 , and the famine and revolujns are still in progress. He further stated --and this 1s corroborated by many of the prophets that the retur-i of the Jews to Palestine wnuld be. an additional evidence of this rreat time of the world's end. This fact 1s also now accomplished. Additionally he said that during the Priod of the end of the world there would be upon earth distress of nations, with perplexity, men's hearts falling them for fear of what they coming upon the earth. This now

Is in progress. As a further evidence he stated that hla followers, loyal and faithful Christians, would be hated of various nations for his name's sake, and would lie port edited. This was also fulfilled during the World War. and many Christians in Austria. Germany. Great Britain. Canada, the t'nitcil Stutes. Rnd

other places, were severely per.se red. J The greater portion of this persecution! was because of the publication of "Th ! Finished Mystery." which explains til's! book of Revelation, written by St. '

John while he was serving a term In prison on a false charge of Krilttlwi. Hundreds of thousands of copies or "The Finis-died Mystery" are now in the hands of tho people.

Another important date God has made clear through the prophets. Wben the children of Israel entered the land of Palestine In the year 1575 B. C, God required them to count the time from that date forward, and to keep every

fiftieth year as a Jubilee; and commanded that these Jubilees should bo Kept for seventy periods, which would be equivalent to a total of 3.500 years. St. Raul shows that these things were types or shadows. The jubilee periods typified the thousand-year reign ot Christ, which would begin at the time of his second presence and at the end of the world, during which the obedient of mankind must be restored. A period of 3.300 years beginning In 1575 B. C. of necessity will end with 1325 A. P. It is therefore confidently expected from the Scriptures that 1925 will mark the end of wars, famine, pestilence, revolutions, anarchy, and general disturbances, and that the restora tlon of man will progress from that time forward. Millions of people now living or earth reasonably expect, in the ordinary course of events, to live ten or fifteen years. Those living in iy25 and

thereafter, coming to a knowledge of the truth and being obedient to this message of truth, will be gradually restored to perfection of body and mind and will live on the earth forever in a state of happiness. The earth will

gradually be improved, the deserts made productive, the waste places inhabited, and the whole world beconw a fit habitation suflclent to support the entire human race with abundance. Tsalah SB; Ereklel 36:34, 35. The seed of Abraham according to the promise consists of Christ, Jesus the head and the church his body. (Galatlana 3:16. 27. 23; Colossians 1:18). These are the ones who have been selected from amongst men from. Pentecost until Christ"s second coming. These are the ones who are properly designated as Christians, and whose eternal dwelling-place shall be In heaven; and through this class the blessing shall be extended, according to God's promise, to all the families ot the earth. Jesus declared that this message of the kingdom shall, at tho end of the world, be preached unto all nations for a witness, and then the end of the world will be complete. This Is a mes

sage of eomort because It announces the end of the present unrighteous order, the Incoming Ittngdom of peace. Justice and righteousness, and the time for the giving of life everlasting to the obedient ones of earth. The message "Milllona Now Living Will Never Die" during the past twelve months has had the greatest circulation of any book ever published in a like period of time. This book, together with "The Finished Mystery" and "Can the Living Talk with the Dead?" are now beinr

Placed by the International Bible 8tu

dents Association In the hands of the people, and at such a price that every one can aford them. They contain a message of hope and comfort to the groaning creation.
