Brooklyn, Nor. 7.—Pastor Russell
preached today at the Brooklyn Taber
nacle from the text above. He said:-
Our text prophetically reprt-seiits the
,'Httltudc of mind of God's true people.
Those who are aliens and strangers
from God would not thus pray. Even
ft they were repentant their first pray
•r should be In the nature of a con
fession of sins and an acknowledg
ment of their acceptance of God's
®ercy In the forgiveness of their sins
•nd of his accepting them to be his
And if we must have an evil
Craving, why are we not at least rt
fleved of the outward temptations
Which excite these evil cravings V-
femptatlons from the world about us.
Ibcitlug to evil rather than to good
lud, according to the Scriptures and
Cnir experiences, temptations also from
Satan himself, and from the fallen an
gels, who continually endeavor to In
trude upon us, to incite us to anger,
ttallce, hatred, strife and the various
Works of the flesh aud the dev 11V
These questions are not unreason
*£ble, and God acknowledges this when
fee shows us that just such favorable
.Conditions as these questions suggest
Will be provided for the world of man
kind daring the Millennium. Satan
ftnd the evil angels under his captain
cy will be restrained according to the
Bible and not be permitted to molest
Mankind in evil promptings and sug
gestions. We read that Satan shall be
bound for a thousand years that he
ttiay deceive the people uo more until
the thousand yeaas be finished (Rev
datlons xx, 2). Relief is also promised
from the Injurious conduct of others,
lb that we are assured that during the
Millennium nothing shall hurt or de
stroy throughout God's holy Kingdom.
Jto that blessed time every evil deed
.Will be restrained that it may not ac
complish Injury to another, while even
the effort to commit sin will be
promptly punished with "stripes:" not
ttn immoderate, not an unjust tortur
ing for centuries for finite Bins, but.
10 the Scriptures declare, a just recom
pense of reward will be given both to
the Just and to the unjust.
The Scriptures assure us that prompt
ness In the punishment for sin, and its
ffeasonableness, its righteousness, will
fee promptly recognized and quickly
bear fruitage throughout the world in
peace and order-righteousness. Thus
We read, "When Thy judgments are In
the earth, the Inhabitants of the world
Will learn righteousness" (Isaiah xxvl.
8). The preaching of this reasonable.
Itghteous judgment of the future sure
ly bears much better fruitage than the
preaching of the "dark ages," now for
tiinately disappearing—that the wage
•f a trifling sin might be either a cen
tury of roasting or an eternity of tor
gient The exaggeration of the error
so great that the human mind in
stinctively resists and rejects It.
The next query we shall answer Is.

Why should he provide at the present
ttme for the trial and testing of the
Church under conditions so much more
•pvere than those which shall prevail
fey and by, during the Millennium?
Why must we battle against the Ad
versary and his minions as well as

as for the world during the Millennium
and our way be made smooth also?
The Scriptures answer that Ux'
Church class, which God Is now
lectlng or electing from the world, & a
very special class, for which he li is

with the Redeemer In his kingly ami
priestly ofllces for the blessing of 1!«•
world during the Millennium. Th
greatness of the dignity to which th
faithful will be exalted makes it rca
sonnble that the terms and condition*
should be exceedingly difficult in this
way. Hence we read that the gate is
difficult and the way a narrow one, so
that few may find It. These few are
the "elect," whose character-superior
ity will be fully evidenced to God, to
angels and to men to be such ns fully
justifies the Lord in granting to them
the high reward promised. Were their
honors no greater than those the world
shall experience, how could God's ways
be just and equal in granting them the
heavenly nature and Divine glory,
while awarding the world of mankind
restitution blessing and a worldwide
Eden home corresponding to what was
lost by Adam and redeemed for the
willing and obedient by the sacrifice
of the man Christ Jesus?
Who Understands His Errors?
If now we have clearly before our
minds that it is the Church class who
are addressed in our text, lot us exam
ine the various steps it suggests. Dur
ing the Millennium the errors and se
cret faults and presumptuous sins of
the world will all be made manifest
and all be openly rebuked and pun
ished. But not so now. Those who
are now called to be of the elect
Church are expected to be so zealous
for God, so desirous to know ond to do
his will, so opposed to sin, that they
will voluntarily search for their own
errors, their own secret faults, and
strive against presumptuous sins.
When we remember that God, for
Christ's sake, has forgiven the slna of
the Church, the question may arise.
What then are these faults or errors?
if all of our sins are forgiven freely
for Christ's sake, what sins then re
main to be forgiven? The answer is
that through faith in Christ's blood we
were fully forgiven "the sins that are
past, through the forbearance of God"
(Romans lii, 25). We shall never more
be held responsible for sins great or
small which were ours before we came
to the Lord and accepted his grace, his
forgiveness, aud became his followers
through our consecration of our little
all to him. What remains of sin with
us is the imperfection of the flesh and
Its inherited weaknesses, and these
blemishes may be with us to our dying
day in considerable measure. It is
against those that we must fight—fight
the good light and endure hardness as
valiant soldiers of righteousness.
But some one may Inquire, is not the
merit*of Christ sufficient, not only for
the sins that are past, but for all of
our unwilling blemishes of the past
aud of the future? In other words.
Does not our Lord's satisfaction of
Justice include our Imperfections pres
ent and future, which are the result
of Adam's sin and our inheritance of
the fallen condition, as wei' as atone
for our sins of the past prior to our
acceptance of the Divine mercy? We
answer. Yes, this Is quite true never
theless the Lord requires of us that,
after coming Into the family of God.
we shall take note of our imperfec
tions nnd apply to him for specific for
giveness of all transgressions. Doubt
less this is Intended to assist us in
keeping humble-to assist us In keep
ing in remembrance "the horrible pit"
of sin from which we were lifted by
the gracious merit of the Redeemer by
which we were justified. All of these
experiences will doubtless be helpful
to us by drawing us the more frequent
ly to the "throne of grace, that we
may obtain mercy, aud find grace
(merit) to help in time of need" (lie
brews Iv, 16).
The Blood of Christ Cleanseth.
The expression, "The blood of Jesus
Christ
cleanseth,
us from all sin," refers
not merely to the sins that are past
and the cleansing which was ours at
the moment we first accepted the
Lord's favor, but rather, especially, it
refers to the cleansing which Is con
tinually necessary to the maintenance
of our relationship with the Lord. The
forgiveness, the cleansing. Is freely,
promptly given, but conditionally, it
must be applied for. This is the Lord's
method of Instructing us in the way
of righteousness aud of assisting us to
overcome the oppositions and tempta
tions of the world and to become at
heart "overcomers." He knows our
weaknesses better than we do and he
wishes us to learu of them, not with
a view to discouraging us, but that we
may fight a good fight against them,
conquer them and, In so doing, develop
the characteristics which he approves
aud has promised to reward with joiut
heirship with the Uedeemer in his
Kingdom.
Hence, instead of openly rebuking
his people, the Lord leaves as ours the
work of searching for secret faults and
putting them away. In proportion as
we love him. we will be desirous of
doing those things which please him,
thus living In his smile, under his ap-

circulation and coin feet, when a fl.UU Treatment w:
provai. it is quit" sulUcient that the
light of the Lord's countenance, his
smile, should be withdrawn from those
who do not walk the narrow way with
zeal—who do not seek for their own
faults and endeavor to correct them
and to thus make character. As those
now being called grow In love for the
Lord, every hindrance to his favor will
be quickly noted. It is this class that
in our text is represented as seeking
llvlne assistance in the searching out
of their secret faults.
Some of these faults may be known
to ourselves and to the Lord, but un
known to fellowmen. The heart that
Is truly converted to the Lord and to
harmony with all the principles of
righteousness which he represents
must more and more desire full per
fection—full victory over the weak
nesses of the flesh, and must strive for
this condition. Other secret faults
may be secret from us but well-known
to the Lord nnd possibly quite plainly
manifest to our brethren and neigh
bors. How earnestly all who are truly
the Lord's people should seek to see
themselves as others see them, and to
correct those faults which hitherto
have been secret to themselves.
Assuredly the Lord's assistance Is
necessary in this work but. In praying
to him. In the language of our text, we
should remember that his method of
answering our petitions is to show us
the facts of our case, and then to en
courage us by his promises to fight a
good fight against the weaknesses thus
brought to our attention. The Bible is
the Lord's lamp. The Spirit of its won
derful teachings, like a two-edged
sword, is sharp and penetrating. It
can discern or discriminate between
the very thoughts and intents of the
heart which deceive so many Into
thinking a wrong course justifiable.
The Christian who makes continual
and good use of this "sword" will soon
find that with Its assistance he is able
to analyze hi* aim motives lying behind
his words nnd his acts will sometimes
find himself secretiug them, aud some
times masquerading them as graces
nnd virtues.
The diliiculty with the majority of
Christian people seems to be that they
have never undertaken a close scrutiny
of the motives lying behind their words
or their deeds—yea, the motive or In
tention lyiug hidden iu their own
minds. The reason for this laxity, the
reason for their failure to follow up
with the searchlight and to "bring
every thought into captivity to the will
of God in Christ" is that they have not
yet attained to a sufficiency of love for
righteousness and a sufficiency of a
hatred for iniquity. The reason for
this condition of things may be that
they are "babes In Christ" who have
In the past fed merely ui»on the milk
of the Word and not upon the strong
meat and are, therefore, weak In the
faith and weak every way along the
lines of Christian character develop
ment. What they need is more love
for the Lord and a greater apprecia
tion of his Word, which will lead to
more earnest study of the same.
"The entrance of thy words giveth
light" (l'salm cxlx, 130). As the Word
of the Lord dwells richly and abounds.
It educates us respecting God's will
and its standards and. if we are obedi
ent to his will and his gracious pur
poses, we will endure his tests and
ultimately stand approved as our Lord's
Jolnt-helrs In his Kingdom.
Keep From Presumptuous Sins.
One of the great character testa im
posed upon the Church Is humility. It
Is not sufficient that we love right and
hate wrong and search for even our
secret faults. Even after attaining
perfection we might lie presumptuous
and, if ao, be Titit for the proposed ex
altation. Safru, when a holy angel
called Lucifer, the Morning Star, was
perfect but the sin of presumption
crept into his heart and blighted every
thing. So Satan strove to tempt our
Lord, who was perfect, to commit a
presumptuous siu, through which he
would have made shipwreck of bis ca
reer. lie wished him to presume upon
God's goodness and abundant care, not
by starting a rival empire, a? Satau
himself had attempted to do, but to
presume, nevertheless, upon Divine
goodness to the extent of jeopardizing
his life by leaping from the pinnacle
of the Temple and trusting that God
would suspend the laws of nature and
work a miracle for his protection,
when no such miracle was necessary,
because no aucti hazard bad been de
manded,
Applying this matter of presumptu
ous sin to the Church of our day we

times we see presumptuous condurt
amongst elders and others in the Body
of Christ, much after the manner of
Moses' transgression, when presump
tuously he suiote the rock, while God
had merely bidden him to speak to

the rock. For pastors and elders of
the Church to assume and to exercise
an unscriptural lordship over the
Church would appear to us to be a
presumptuous sin—a presuming to take
place and authority not bestowed by
the Lord. On the contrary, sometimes
a congregation of the Lord's people
may be presumptuous In neglecting
the Scriptural direction to take heed to
those who have the rule over them
and watch for their souls, as those
who must give an account. In how
many ways might we be presumptuous
and ignore the Lord, his supervision
over the Church, and his message to
us In his Word!

ZEBU MEAT REPLACES BEEF
Flesh of Indian Oxen Is in Demand in
France.
Paris, Nov. 25.—The colonial au
thorities have inaugurated a serious
attempt to introduce in the French
market the zebus of Madagascar as n
substitute for beef. The first batch
of a dozen carcasses sold in the Paris
staljs brought the prices of high
est grades of cattle. Larger shiputcis
are now on the way here.
M. Carrougeau, th^ manager of the
government stud In Madagascar, is
enthusiastic over the new project. He
says that the herds of zebus, other
wise known as Indian oxen, which
have been threatened with extermina
tion, are now being rapidly restored
and that probably 4,500,000 head roam
the plateaus of Madagascar. He de
scribed the meat of the zebus as
savory and nutritious and the equal
of beef. He anticipates an annual Im

It Is only common sense, any way
