(PASTOR. RUSSELL)
any of the 1500 who perished saints?
And assured that very few of them
would have claimed to be saints, we
would have concluded that all the re
mainder plunged down to a Catholic
Purgatory of terror, or worse, to 2
Protestant hell of eternal torture.
Even the tales of their great gal-
Jantry and bheroism would not have
altered the decision which would have
‘hung on the question. Did they con
fess Jesus in word and deed? we
would have asked. Were they church
members? This is the same argument
ased respecting the 90,000 heathen
who die every day in the year, “going
down into Christless graves,” the “Lon
‘don Missionary Society” truly says,
but means and is understood to mean
into Christless eternal torture!
- Now, how different! Now we see
that a faithful. elect Church is being
seleeted during this Age: that in the
next Age they with Jesus may assist,
bless, uplift all the non-elect to an
eartliiy salvation to human perfection,
!in the new Paradise—Earth—which
‘Messiah’s Kingdom will usher in.
!Thus, only the wilfully wicked will
‘e\'er be annihilated.
i But our old errors die hard; because
‘we have twisted the Bible to fit then.
For instance, let us consider St. Pet
’o!"s words:—“Christ also hath once
suffered for sins, the Just for the un
just, that He might bring us to God.
being put to death in the flesh, but
quickened in the spirit, by which (two
experiences—death and resurrection)
He preached unto the spirits in prison™
(I Peter iii, 18, 19).
This text has been made the basis
for some very peculiar presentations.
The difiiculty in every case seems to
be the failure to remember that the
Bible always and everywhere teaches
that the dead are really dead, that
they will know nothing until the resur
rection. Therefore, it would he im
possible to preach to the dead humans
Spirits Once Disobedient.
St. Peter tells us the time of the dis
~obedience of these spirits—*in the days
of Noah, while the ark was preparing.”
~ Turning to Genesis vi, 1-5, we find
there the cause of the disobedience of
these angels who for a time had been
permitted to see what they could do
for the uplift of humanity, or, rather.
permitted to demonstrate that the
downward tendency of sin is incur
able except in the manner which God
has already arranged for through Mes
siah and His reign of 1.000 years.
The particular sin of those angels
was that when they were granted
the privilege of materializing—of tak
{ng human bodies—for the sake of help
ing and instructing mankind—they mis
ugean this power and took to themselves
wives,
The offspring of this iuiproper union
were ‘“giants,” both physically and
mentally superior to the fallen iyjii'man
family—“men of renown.” The race
thus In several centuries became so
eorrupt that apparently only Noah and
hig family were left uncontaminated.
It was then and there that God im
prisoned these spirits (“angels, who
kept not their first estate”), and are
therefore called fallen angels, devils,
‘demons. They were not imprisoned in
‘some far-off world called hell, nor are
they engaged there in stoking fires.
The record is that God cast thém
down, that they might not lorget asso
ciate with the holy angels, Bt must be
reserved in tartarus—out earth’s atmos
phere.—Jude 6; I Peter ii, 4, 5.
When imprisoned or cut off from the
privilege ¢ materialization, many of
the Tallen spirits continued their active
opposition to God, like Satan, and are
speken of as his angels.
How Jesus Preached In Death,
Here arises another question: If
Jesus really died, as the Scriptures de
clare; if “He poured out His soul unto
death” and “made His soul an offering for
sin.”’ and His soul was not raised from
the dead until the third day after His
crucifixion, how could He in the mean
time preach to spirits in prison, or to
anybody else? We reply that He could
preach in the same way that the Apos
tle refers to, saying, “Abel, being dead,
vet speaketh” (Hebrews xi, 4).
But when they perceived His resur
rection on the third day to glory, hon
or and immortality (“far above angels,
principalities and powers”), His ser
mon to them was complete, namely,
that ‘“the wages of sin is death,” but
“the gift of God Is eternal life”
(Romans vi, 23). And as they realized
thus the Power af God and the Love
of God for His human creatures, the
Apostle’s words imply that this con
stituted to th2-m a message of hope,

Scientific Marketing, Says Barrett, Greatest ‘
. Problem Before The - American Farmer:
goo A e i T
Unless Farmers Sell More Than They Buy,
They Will Never Be Truly Independent,
To the Officers and Members of the Farmers’ Union:
Everyone in America, from the president on down to the poorest
editor of the smallest country weekly newspaper, is now and has for
a long time, been advising the farmers how to increase production.
You can number on the fingers of one hand taose who have, persis
tently and with intelligence, influential, non-farming Americans who
have given devotion and thought to showing the farmer the impera
tive need of scientific marketing, or di:tribution, Yet it is probable
that the task of getting the products of the soil upon the market in a
reasonable manner ard at a fair price, is more intricate and almost as
important as the task of production itself. ,
The most inferior sort of farmer can bring forth some kind of
crop, With the corstant chorus regaraing scientific agriculture and
intensive methods, the reclamation of the desert and the dr:i;inirjg of
swamp lands, the probability ttat the country will run out of food in
the immediate futire is not an alarming one. But what is enough to
make a thoughtful man stop and grieve, is the fashion 1n which the
Awerican farmer robs himself year after year by slipshod methods
of disposing of his output, :
It is a conservative estimate that if the farmers of this country
got together 1n a national selling plan, they would save to themselves
three or tour hundred million dollars a vear. As it is now, they for
feit that amount, or perhaps a larger one, by marketing absolutely
without system or rhyme or reason.
We all agree that the ‘‘trusts” have been guilty of injustice to
the American people. But the “‘trusts” can at least teach us one les
son—arnd that is the everlasting value and need of organization and
science in marketing. How many dividends, for instance, do you
suppose Standard Oil, or the United States Steel Corporation, or the
American Tobacco Company, or any other of them, could declare if
thev placed their products upon the market in the haphazard manner
observed by the American farmers?
So important is the selling end considered by every form of
American business, whether corporate or individual, large or small,
that even more time and brains 1s spent upon it tnan the producing
end, or the buying end. If the cheapest little factory in the smallest
little town placed its output as the farmer does his, there would be
another applicant for bankruptcy in short order. The present system
of agricultural marketing in America is like nothing so much as a
tremendous department store with everything' in it a customer will
buy,”and with not a single clerk to wait on the customers. It 1s like
those restaurants called ‘‘cafeterias” where each man comes in and
waits upon himself.? Is it any wonder that with a system like this
the{farmer cheats himself vearly but of millions of legitimate profits?
Some of the brethern declare they’re perfectly wiiling to coope
rate if we can just find a “'system.” Why bless your soul, we have
more plans and systems than a chicken has feathers. We’ve tried the
joint-stock and the purely co-operate agency. We’ve tried scores
of other schemes, somewhere, at some time, on big and little scales.
It isn’t the plan or the svstem we lack, Its the dctermination and
the ability to get together on some one big, feasible National system,
every prcducing farmer a cog‘in a great big selling machine, and
with men big enough and broad encugh and consecrated enmough at
the head to run the machine rightly.
This is an age of concentration, and every industry save that of
agriculture is obeying that law, Unless agricuiture wakes up and
adopts the same method—the twentieth century method—we’re going
to keep on working for ana supporting every combination under the
sun except our own. !
It is a primary rule both of tusiness and common sense that
where a man buys more than he sells, he will never be independent.
That rule applies to the farmer more tightly than to any other class,
for the simple reason that the farmer—or most of them, especially in
the south—can produce on their own soil not only the crop where
with to bring home casb, but as well as tne food for which he is now
paying.
There will be some sacrifice, some surrendering of alleged ¢“indi~
vidual rights,” lessening of that lordly ‘‘independence” of which the
farmer is so fond. in any effective plan of marketing. Other indus
tries know these facts and bow down before them, Until the farmer
does, he will continue to be at a disadvantage with every other class
in the eountty. '
I want yoti to ponder all these facts carefully and conscientiously
ds you go ahead with your spring planting. It is all very well to
curtail acreage, and to plan scrupulously tor production, Unless we
plan also for scientific marketing, just as scrupulously and intelligent
ly, nearly half of our labor will go in vain,
