THE BELAYED MILLENNIUM ;
MORAL RETROGRESSION OF THE 1
CHILDREN OF MEN.
The Saying of the Popular Preachers,
that the World is Growing Better,
Shown to be Vain. <
Millennium signifies one thousand
years. This is a period of time that
our Savior will reign with his glo
rified saints somewhere before he
delivers up his mediatorial kingdom,
that the Father may become all in
all. Now, any careful Bible reader
can ascertain for himself that this
reign will be after the first resurrec
tion, which is the resurrection of the
righteous. The resurrection of the
wicked will occur one thousand
years after, which is the second res
urrection.
Rev. 20 : 4 : “And I saw thrones,
and they sat upon them, and judg
ment was given unto them; and I
saw the souls of them that were be
headed for the witness of Jesus and
for the word of God, and which had
uot worshiped the beast, neither his
image” (those are not aiding in any
of his works, the word’s fair in
cluded) ; “neither had received his
mark upon the foreheads, or in their
hands” (our legislative bodies, cor
porations and professional men tax
ing the suffering millions, and would
tax the air if they had power, are
the ones that had this mark) ; “and
they lived and reigned with Christ a
thousand years.”
Now, surely any man that has any
sense at all can see that this living
ami reigning with Christ a thousand
ye;ws by these good people was after
they had been beheaded and dead.
Is any one so blind as not to see?
I reckon the next, or sth verse, will
surely settle it: “But the rest of the
dead live not again until the thous
and years are finished. This is the
first resurrection” —the resurrection
of the righteous dead who had been
St. John had been car
ried through the mighty scenes until
the end or first resurrection, hence
he uses the perfect tense.
This first resurrection (i • hess.
16 : 17), “For the Lord
descend from heaven with a shout,
with the voice of the archange, and
with the trump of God; and the
dead in Christ shall rise first.
“Then we which are alive and re
main shall be caught up together
with them in the clouds, to meet the
Lord in the air, and so shall we ever
be with the Lord.”
Now’, my paid brethren, who all
your time search the scriptures while
1 am at the plow-handles, what haye
- you been doing all your lives, that
you are yet one thousand years be
hind? This thousand years, relating
to the period when old mother earth
shall be resting preparatory to her
' final burning, is not in scripture
save in Revelations, xx.
During this thousand years’ rest
of mother earth, the wicked dead
and those' sinners who are killed by
the brightness of his coming will
remain asleep in and on the earth
till the thousand years are finished,
then they shall be resurrected; this
the second resurrection. Tney shall
then appear before God and be
judged; receive their sentence »nd
be east into a lak« nre and brim
wt.— ~ <uiu burned up; this is the
second death.
The resurrected righteous, and
those who are alive and remain
after, rise up to meet Him in the
clouds and are changed in the twin
kle of an eye, and shall for the first
time put on immortaity, will be taken
by him to heaven, there to spend
this thousand years in celebrating
the gr eat marriage supper or feast,
and in taking the great* bridal tour
of Christ and his redeemed church,
or the bridegroom and bride.
Where, then, is a reign of right
eousness in this world to be found?
I am sure it is not in the Bible. But
let us examine some more scriptures:
Mat. 7 : 13, 14 : “Enter ye in at
the strait gate*; for wide is the
gate and broad is the way that lead-,
eth to destruction, and many there
be which go in thereat ; because
strait is the gate and narrow is
the way which leadeth unto life, and
few there be that find it.”
No, how absurd it is for |men to
imagine that our Savior’s word will
of a sudden be changed and all the
w orld be saved or condemned. Such
an idea is a. libel on the word of
sacred truth.
But these temporal millennium
preachers declare that the world is
growing better; they say that the
spread of the gospel is dispelling
darkness and ignorance, and that we
are easing into this glorious reign of
righteousness.
Now, just let us calmly and in an
unprejudiced spirit examine just
w hat will be the moral condition of
the world in the last days :
• “This know T , also, that in the last
perilous times shall come. 2.
a H shall be lovers of their own
ou covetous, boasters, proud,
Mriers, disobedient to parents,
tul and unholy. 3. Without
. .flection, truce-breakers, false

cc re than lovers of God. 5.

PEOPLE’S PARTY PAPER, ATLANTA, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 23. 1
catalogue of crime prevails just at
this time to a greater extent than at
any previous time in the history of
the world?
I will just say that the world
would be in a fine condition for this
temporal millinnium I God pity th#
world.
12. Yea, all that will live Godly in
Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. 13.
But evil men and seducers shall wax
worse and worse, deceiving and being
deceived. •
It does seem to me that any one
who wanted to understand at all
may know that we are living in the
last days spoken of by the apostle,
and this list of crimes is now in full
force.
Now, just take up the newspapers
of the day and we find the reports
are perfectly heart-sickening. See
one man oppressing another ; lawyers
cannot wait for a man to die to have
the plans laid to get his property;
hear the boast that they are the
only class that are competent to
make and execute the laws; hear
them say if this farmer and labor
ers’ movement is not checked the
government will be run into social
ism ; see the pride that permates our
females; they are bowing at the
shrine of dress, fine equipments, etc.;
hear the loud-swelling oaths and the
contempt with which God’s name is
treated." Surely at no time in the
history of our race have children
been so disobedient to parents and
teachers. This is noticeable every
where. So the dark list of crimes
arising from unnatural affections. If
any one is brave enough to defend
the cause of justice and right, and
protect the oppressed, the newspa
pers of the country at once set up
false accusations enough against him
to blacken the character of an angel,
if believed.
The cities, to a great extent, are
filled with bawdy and lewd houses.
Members of our national Congress
hire wicked men to delude and de
coy the fair young daughters of poor
families to them that they may
plunge them into shame and ever
lasting disgrace in order to satiate
their hellish, lewd passions.
If a good man happens to get into
a position where he can and does
stand by the right, see how he is
and his name cast out as
evil.
Hear the execrations of the parti
san press and the legal profession
and the wicked politicians upon Hon.
Thomas E. Watson and h>s eight
colleagues ’ Hear a little hot-headed
lawyer, of Cumming, asking Con
gressman Wmu to resign for daring
to turn from evil!
Traitors 1 Take, for example, the
case of Moses and Living! ton, after
the laboring men of their respective
districts had forced them to the front,
on certain promises of’ reform, and
sent them to Congress. Now see
them, in the face of all those prom
ises, leaving their posts of duty and
coming back to Georgia try to bring
heaven and earth together in the en
deavor to drive back the Dien who
elected them, and betray them into
the very power kom which these
laboring men cut loose. Nay,
the same against which they
had organised Ur plunging them
into financial ruin. Then talk about
Judas Iscariot and Benedict Arnold 1
In the b’Aze of reformatory light tlfat
is now dawning upon us, the two
first ae by far the greater traitors.
Hear the heady, penny-wise law
yers, the court rings, rhe town and
city preachers calling the leaders of
the reform movement fools, and de
nouncing the people as anarchists,
paternalists and socialists, for no
other reason than that they are edu
cating tiiemoelves in order to take
their government and affairs out of
their (the leady classes) hands and
manage Meir own business. See
these classes sitting at
ease in vourt houses, in the sacre,d
stand and filling the high positions,
reveling in pleasure, forgetting that
there is a just God that will soon
mete out justice to all alike; and
then answer whether St. was
reviewing the crimes of our (the last)
days.
Hear our preachers, while they sit
in silence while the agents of the
dragon (devil) are trying to seduce
the people and get them to make an
Image of the Beast, by helping to
build up this image by contributing
to the hellish World’s Fair. I re
peat, hear them demanding that the
Christian Sabbath be observed (this
of itself is right), while they never
raise their voice against this trick of
Satan with respect to sins of infinite
ly greater magnitude.
Here we have the form of “Godli
ness, and denying the power where
of” with a vengeance. They never
say one word against the vicious
efforts (in many cases successful)
made to rob the people for this wick
ed purpose. They never sound the
note of alarm against this conglom
eration of murderers, robbers, gam
blers, swindlers, whoremongers, adul
terers, fornicaters, women Jaden with
sin, and all other classes that are do
ing the work of . the Beast. No;
never once do they denounce the
iniquitous leaders who are getting
up this great revival of the cause of
the Beast and the devil.
1 heard a Methodist presiding
elder, a little over a year ago, preach
that the world was easing gradually
into this thousand years’ reign of
righteousness. What a full verifica
tion of the verse, “Ever learning, and
never able to come to the knowledge
of the Guth.” God save and deliver j
a sin cursed world from such error— i
an error that originated in the dark
ness and superstition caused by the
mist that enshrouded the scriptures
and the teaching of the Beast. Evil
men are waxing worse and worse,
deceiving and being deceived. Tet
our preachers say the world is grow
ing better. God pity the best, if
these things are better. The advo
cates of a temporal millennium all
say that the time is near at hand,
and one of them has gone so far as
to say that this is the year of grace.
If his calculation h right, J pray the
Lord to deliver us from the year of
curse or time of trouble. In Mat
thew, 13th chapter, our Savior tells
us the parable of the wheat and the
tares. He says the harvest is the
end of the world. The enemy that
sowed the tares is the devil. The
reapers are the angels. Verse 30 :
“Let both grow together until the
harvest; and in the time of the har
vest I will say to the reapers, gather
ye together first the tares, and bind
them in bundles to birn them; but
gather the wheat into my barn.”
Can not any one see that the good
and bad are to remain until the end
of the world ? When then is the
world’s conversion ? No room for
it in this sin cursed world. But
these fellows say, stxp and read
Numbers 14:21: “But truly as I live,
all the earth shall be lilhd with the
knowledge of the glory <f the Lord.”
Isaiah 11:9 says the eime. Now,
they say this proves a temporal mil
lennium. I guess not. Try to un
derstand a little better. This glori
ous event will be fulfilled in an earth
renewed. Now let us retd II Peter
3:10-13, inclusive, “But the day of
the Lord will come as a feief in the
night; in the which th* heavens
shall pass away with a gjeat noise,
and the elements-shall me® with fer
vent heat, the earth also and the
works that are therein shall be burn
ed up. Seeing then that all things
shall be dissolved, what manner of
persons ought ye to be, in all holy
conversation and godliness, Look
ing for and has'Mning unto the com
ing of the day of God, whetein the
heavens being on fire shall Ibe dis
solved, and the elements shall melt
with fervent heat.” Nevertheless
we, according to His promise, look
for new heavens and
a new earth wherein dwelleth right
eousness. After this old sin cursed
earth has been burned up, and a new
one springs up from its ashes ; then
this renewed earth shall be filled
with the kdowledge of the glory of
the Lord, as the waters that cover
the sea. But be assured, my breth
ren,' that no such state will exist until
after that fiery day of the Lord.
Oh I the beauties of God’s word.
How His truths harmonize when un
derstood. But you use Psalms the
2:8 against me. I know that they
read thus: “Ask of me, and I Shall
give thee the heathen for their, in
heritance and the uttermost parts of
the earth for thy possession. Please
read the next verse. It does not say
1 that the heathen aze given to Christ
as objects of salvation to reign a
thousand years in righteousness on
this earth. No,sir; they are given
for quite Thou
shaft break them with a rod of iron ;
thou shalt dash them' in pieces like a
potter’s vessel. Npt much in this to
indicate the world’s conversion. It
is more like Daniel 2:44, where the
stone is to smite the image on the
feet, and scatter it to the wind.
Isaiah 66:8 asks ‘a question, “Shall
a nation be born at once ?” This
chapter certainly leads us to infer
that such will be the case. And it
also teaches that wholesale birth will
be at the first resurrection, when the
earth is made to bring forth all the
righteous dead in one day. It has
no reference to the spiritual birth
(or conversion) of a nation in a day,
which has never happened and never
will.
A per cent of every city and na
tion accept Christ, while the many
go on in sin.
Matt. 24 : 14 is used by temporal
millennium advocates to set up this
vain theory. This scripture does not
say the gospel is preached to convert
all nations, but for a witness to all
nations. And then shall the end
come. Not a thousand years after.
But they use some ocher scripture.
(Isa. 2:1, 2,3, 4.) Examine this
more closely, my friends, and you
will find that this is the saying of
many people and not the saying of
the Lord. Truly, many are now
saying this just at this time, but
using it as the Lord’s syings is a fond
delusion of Satan, and is damning
thousands.
Mich. 4:1, 2,3, 4 and 5 is parallel
with this, but is quoted as the say
ings of many nations.
Now turn to Joel 3, and read from
the Sth to the 21st verse, and see
what'the saying of the Lord is, and
you will find that the sayings of many
people, and many nations on this sub
ject differ as widely from the sayings
of the Lord as heaven and hell differ.
‘ Now let us look at the facts.
Preachers of every denomination are
preaching that the world is growing
better. They tell us that we are on
the very eve of a reign of righteous
ness ; that the world is being rapidly
converted. I assert the reverse is
precisely true. Capital all over the
world is arrayed against labor. The
nations of the earth are arming as
never before. All over the eastern
world standing armies are being in
creased and equipped. The ingenuity
of man is devising powerful ships of
war with heavy armor, and m turn,
others are inventing powerful guns
to penetrate that armor. The na
tions are on a war footing, and almost
hourly looking for an outbreak. In
the midst of this the cry of “peace
and safety” is sounding from the
pulpit of our land, and is lolling
thousands to sleep when the watch
man should be arousing them to the
unpending danger. The gospel has
been preached near nineteen hundred
years. Christ and his apostles, with
all their power, did not convert all
that heard. Luther, Wesley, and all
the reformers that ever arose, failed
to convert the world. Can we ex
pect, in these evil days, when the
love of many is waxing cold; when
the church and the ministry are grow
ing more formal and ease-loving;
when the line of demarkation between
the church and the world is almost
obliterated ? Is there not a great deal
more danger of the world converting
the church than the church convert
ing the world ?
Now let us see how it is. I refer
to Appleton’s new Geography. There
are 1,400,000,000 inhabitants on the
earth; 835,000,000 are heathens;
170,000,000 are Moha nedans; 210,-
000,000 Catholics; 65,000,000 are
Greeks ; 103,000,000 Christians, and
18,000,000 professing Christians, and
many of these have noi got any more
religion than they need. My God I
what a picture. Oh, how sad, that
many are crying peace and safety,
in view of such facts.
But scripture informs us that:
“ When they shall say peace and
safety, then sudden destruction com
eth upon them and they shall not
escape.”
My friends, the hellish World’s
Fair is near. God help us to be wise
and prepare for what is so near upon
us.. (Il Peter 3:13) : “Nevertheless
we, according to his promise, look for
new heavens and a new earth where
in dwelleth righteousness.” God
grant that we may have part in the
first resurrection, that we may spend
the bridal tour of a thousand years
in heaven. Then that we may have
a rich inheritance in the earth re

The Duties of Mau, addressed to Work
ingmen, by Joseph Mazzini. Reprint
ed ; 12m0., paper, 14'3 pp., 15 cents.
New York, London and Toronto. Funk
& Wagnails Company.
W’ith theadvanceof democratic thought
the name of Joseph Mazzini, the Italian
patriot and revolutionist, grows brighter
and larger. H ; s was one of the strongest
and sweetest spirits that have ever blessed
our century by their presence and coun
sel. While Mazzini was an ardent pat
riot and advocate of struggling national
ities, he also believed most emphatically
in the unity of mankind, and hence he
is a moral teacher for all men. All his
writings are permeated by an unwaver
ing faith in the people and a profound
religious spirit. The most characteristic
and important of his utterances are to be
found r in bis essay, “ The Duties of Man,”’
now reprinted by the Funk and W ignalls
company, and from which hundreds of
valuable quotations may be called and
used to advantage by the writer, speaker,
student and all others interested in that
i vital topic of the times, the ethics of
I labor.
