A FAMILY
AFFAIR
By OLIVE EDNA MAY
When Ma'lgreg ,r Jones married he
gave up Julia Brant, a woman to
whoml he had been for a ,lug while
devoted, for his wife. Why he pre
ferred the latter did not appear. PI'ds
silly he might have thiought that she
wuld on the whole malnke him a better
wife. Those 'who knew hiu. Iii.et led
that he woild rather have l:lrllri'ed

were certain objet'tions in the w\av of

her as anytlhing Imore than a friend.
But naturally his wife was Iit salti

llr:int at her homelll. ut never displaiy
ed anyv coraliatty toward her.
One dlay Junes inme ho lirIie fromtlll isi
ness miiucih earlier thlln usual andl fonill
a ge-ntleliman imakiing an alfterlnoHn ir.i1i
on his wife. Jones bowed to the Iisi
tor Icoolly and pIassed on upst:airs. .%ft
er the man had gone .Tones asked who
he was. Mrs. Jones Informed hin that
her visitor's name was Steadmalllln andi
was a very old and very dear friend
of hers. Then Jones remembered that
some one had in his presence twitted
his wife about a man named Stead
man. and he grew very jealous.
"What do you mean by receiving
this old lover of yours during my ab
sence?" he asked.
"What do you mean by keeping up
your intimacy with Julia Brant after
our marriage?"
"Julia Brant and I are old friends."
"Henry Steadman and I are older
friends than you and Julia."
Jones saw the point. "I presume you
intend," he said, "to use this man
Steadman to separate me from my
friend. Jealousy-absurd jealousy-has
separated more couples than any other
cause."
"Then don't be jealous of me."
Jones went away grumbling, but he
had sense enough to see that his wife
had as much right to keep up her inti
macy with Steadman as he had to keep
up his intimacy with Miss Brant. But
be did not intend to be forced away
from his friend in this way. He ar
gued that he was conducting himself
with perfect propriety toward her-in
deed, that he had no desire to conduct
himself toward her in any other way.
His wife should take his word for this
and not try to break up a friendship
of long standing on account of her sus
picion, to which Mrs. Jones replied
that there was no more reason for her
breaking off her relations with Stead
man than for Jones to break with
Julia.
Finally Jones, who was perfectly sat
isfied with his wife and really had only
a friendly interest in Miss Brant, as
sured the former that the only reason
he had for not breaking with her was
that he didn't like to do so without
giving the true reason, which was that
his wife was jealous of her, to which
Mrs. Jones replied that there was no
necessity of his giving a reason. All
he had to do was to drop Miss Brant
He asked his wife if in that event she
intended to drop 8teadman, and she re
plied that since shf considered that a
wife should receive no man her hus
band objected to she certainly would
In that event give Mr. Bteadman notice
to discontinue his calls.
Jones couldn't make up his mind to
break with Miss Brant-not that her
friendshilp was necessary to Mhis com
fort, but because he did not like to
treat a woman friend harshly. And
.bow could he discontinue his visits to
her and cease to Invite her to his home
without indicating that it meant a
break between them?' Nevertheless
Mrs. Jones insisted on accepting the at
tentlons of Steadman as long as Jones
continued on friendly terms with Miss
Brant. and if he was ever to be relievr
ed of the occasional presence of a man
he hated he must give in. He did so.
The next time Miss Brant came to the
use he remained In his room, and he
Ier called on her again.
r. Steadman did not again appear
at the Jones home, and both bones of
contention were removed. Children
were born to the Joneses. and a unlted
family was the result.
Mrs. Jones died after the children
were all grown and most of them had
been married. At last Mr. Jones was
left alone. He had only the memory
of his life companion, and the more
he thought over her many good traits
the more he revered her. One day he
set about destroying the letters she
had received and kept thinking it best
that they should not be perused by oth
rs. Among them he found a small
package marked "Concerning Julia
Brant He read som' f them. They
were letters to his late wife, giving con
-dential opnlions of the lady, and did
not rate her very high. One was from
Mrs. Jones' brother, who recommend
ed her by all means to break up her
husband's infimacy wtth Miss Brant
and said he knew her to be a sien of
a very bad kind.
Mr. Jones wondered. He had tbought
that be was the only man whom Miss
Brnt had loved.

with which this Age will close, perish.
and the New Age of Messiah's glory

highly symbolical figures of speech in
the last book of the Bible, evidently
with a view to hiding certain impor

the Bible assures us. "None of the

His people-the "wise virgin" class of

I have long avoided presentation of

and because I believe It is due time to

Inspiration. In some particulars my
views agree with those of other Bible
students, and in other respects they
disagree. Each bearer must use his
own Judgment. do his own Bible study.
and reach his own conclusions.
Kindly remember that I am not re

by the Lord. My Interpretations do in.

Ignored when systems as a whole are

The Dragon, Beast, False Prophet.
Our context tells us that three Im
pure spirits ,teachings) will go forth
from the mouths of the Dragon, the
Beast and the False Prophet, and these
three will be in accord. and symbolical
ly the doctrines are represented by
"trogs." These three doctrines are to
have a mighty influence throughout the
cidvlized earth. They are to gather
the kings and their armies to the great
Battle of Armageddon.
The ecclesiastical kings and princes.
and their retinues of elergy and falth
tfl adhestats, will be gathered in solid
phalansti'lotestant and Catholic. The
kings and captains of industry, and as
many as can he influenced by them.
will be gathered to the same side. The
political kings and princes, with all
their benchmen and retainers, will fol
low in line on the same side. The
financial kingsl and merchant princes.
and all whom they can Infludence by the
most gigantic power ever yet exercls
ed in the world- will join" the samo
side, according to this prophecy.
These "doctrines of demons." repre
sented by the "frogs." will lead many
noble people In this great army to as
some an attitude quite contrary to
their preference. For a time the
wheels of IIherty and progress will be
turned backward and medieval re
stralnts will be considered necessary
for self-preservation-for the mainte
nance of the present order of things.
In giving this Interpretation, it is
necessary for us to Indicate what is
symbolized 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" tReve

But fewer still. we fear. will be ready
to support our view that Protestantism

Applying these symbols, we learn
that an evil spirit. influence. teaching
will come from the Protestant churches
federated. from the Church of Rome
and from the Civil authorities, all in
full agreement. The spirit of all will
be boastful: an air of superior wisdom
and knowledge will be proudly assum

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 con
flicting the creeds. the differences will
be ignored in the general proposition
that nothing ancient must be disturb

The Divine authority of the Church
and the Divine right of kings, aside
from the Church. will not be allowed
to conflict. Any persons or teachins
in conflict with these boastful and iun
scriptural claims will be branded as:
everything rile, at the mouths of these
"frogs" speaking from pulpits and
platforms and through the religious
and secular press. The nobler senti
ments of some will be strangled by the
philosophy of the same evil spirit
which spoke through Caiaphas. the
high priest, respecting Jesus. As Cain:
phas declared it expedient to commit
a crime In violation of justice, human
and Divine. to be rid of Jesus and ills
teachings, so this "frog" spirit will arl
prove 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, religious
and industrial into one great army
The spirit of fear. Inspired by the
croakings of these"frogs," will scourge
the passions of otherwise good and
reasonable men to fury, desperation
In their blind following of these evil
spirits, evil doctrines, they will tb
ready to sacrifice life and everything
on the altar of what they mistakenly
suppose is justice. truth and righteous
ness. under a Divine arrangement.
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 ruth
lessly shut off under the plea of neces
sity, the glory of God. the commands
of the Church. etc. All 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. 18.
19.) Jesus described it as a time of
trouble such as never was since there
was a nation.-Matthew xxiv. 21.
The Lord Will Gather Them.
The false, trog-like teachings will
gather together into one host the gsat.
the rich. the wise. the learned and the
kings of the earth, to battle. At this
Juncture Divine Power will step for
ward. and our text tells us that BH
shall gather the marshaled hosts to
Armageddon-to the Mountain of De
struction. The very thing which the}
sought to avert by their union. federn
tion, etc.. will be the very thing the}
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 rend
in Daniel xli. 1: "At that time shall
Michael [the Godlike One-Messia b
stand up"-assume authority He wilt
take possession of His Kingdom in a
manner little looked for by many ot
those who erroneously have been
claiming that they were BHis Klingdom
and authorixed by Him to reign in His
name and In His stead
Jesus declared. "His servants ye are
unto whom ye render service." some
may be rendering service to Satan aud
to error. who claim to be rendering
service to God and to righteousness:
and some of these may be serving Ig
norantly, as did Saul of Tarsus, who
"verily thought that be did God a serv
ice" in persecuting the Church. The
same principle holds true reversely
As an earthly king does not hold him
self responsible for the moral character
of each soldier who fights In hisb bat
ties. so the Lord does not vouch for the
moral character of all who will eqlist
and fight on His side of any question
"His servants they are to whom they
render service." whatever the motive
or object prompting them.
The same principles will apply in the
coming Blttle of Armageddon. God's
side of that battle will be the people's
side. and the very nondescript boat
the pepple. will be pitted at the begin
ning of the battle. Anarchists. Soelal
ists. and hot-headed radicals of every
school of reason and unreason, will be

"Send Them Strong Delusions."
St. Paul wrote proplietically of our
time. that it would be one of serious
trial and testing to many professing to
be Christians The reason for this he
states-they received not the Truth in
the love of it (II Thessalonians ii, it.
11.) They preferred their own errone
ous theories, the Apostle explains. and
therefore Godl will give them over to a
"strong delusion." and let them believe
the lie which they preferred, and let
them suffer for missing the Truth
which they did not love. Thus they
will be in the condemned host "fight.
lIg against God." because of their lack
of love for the Truth.
It is sad to say that we all as Chris
tians have tbeen laboring under a thor
ough delusion respecting God's Plan
We have claimed that Christ set up
His Church In Kingdom power, and
that the Church has been reigning on
the earth as ills representative. On
the strength of this delusion. Jews and
heretics have been persecuted to death
as opponents to Christ's Kingdom. All
the while we thoughtlessly repeated
the Lord's prayer: "Thy Kingdom
come: Thy will be done on earth. as in
Heaven." We knew that the Redeemer
said that He would come again to
make us His Bride and joint-heirs; but
we ignored the Scriptures. We were
drunk, as the Scriptures symbolically
say. "all nations were drunk" with the
false doctrine. It is this false doctrine
that will constitute the "frog" spirit
which soon will begin to croak and to
prepare for Armageddon.
The Bible presentation is that the
world is a section of the universe in
rebellion against Divine authority, un
der the captaincy of Satan and his as
sociated fallen angels. By Divine grace
Jesus has already "tasted death for
every man." and the merit of that sac
rifice must. eventually, grant Adam and
his posterity a full. fair opportunity
for the attainment of everlasting life.
All who thus see the Divine program
and are walking in the light may know
something at least respecting the "times
and seasons." These brethren "are
not in darkness, that that day [and
that battle of Armageddon] should
overtake" them "as a thief" - un
awares.
Armageddon Not Yet but Soon.
For forty years the Armageddon
forces have been mustering for both
sides of the conflict Strikes. lockouts
and riots. great and small, have been
merely incidental skirmishes as the
belligerent parties crossed each other's
paths. Court and Army scandals in
Europe. Insurance. Trust and Court
scandals into America, have shaken puba
lic confodence. Dynamite plots, charg
ed by turns on employees and on em
ployers, hare further shaken coani
dence and tended to make each dis
trustful of the other. Bitter and angry
feelings on both sides are more and
more manifest The lines of battle are
daily becoming more distinctly marked.
Nevertheless Armageddon cannot yet
be fought Other matters intervene.
according to prophecy.
Gentile times have still two years to
run The "Image of the Beast" of our
context must yet receive ife-power.
The Image must be transformed from
a mere mechanism to a liviing force.
Protestant Pederation realizes that Its
organization will still be ofutile unless
it receive vitalization-unless its clergy
directly or indirectly shall be recog
nized as possessed of apostolice ordina
tion 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 actlivities of
Protestantism and Catholldsm. operat

of human liberties. await this vivifying

must follow-perhaps a year after it
