March B.—Pastor
Russell's discourse
today related to
that feature of
his free Phot o-
Prnmnof Creation
which refers to
the answer to Je
sus' prayer. The
text was: “Ask
of Me. nnd 1 will
give Thee the hea
then for Thine in
heritance, and the
uttermost parts of
the earth for Thy possession.” (Psalm
2:8.) He sold:
Our text Is from one of the Messi
anic Psalms. It represents our Lord
as making known to Ilis people the
Heavenly Father's decree rewarding
Him for His faithfulness as our Re
deemer, assuring Him of His exalta
tion to thu Kingdom, and declaring
that with fhls will come the inherit
ance of iiL the mirth, with power to
subject all things to the Father's will.
He was to have it for tile mere request
—"Ask of Me.” As a matter of fact,
this world w ide dominion ha* not yet
come to Messiah; the heathen are not
yet Ills Inheritance: the uttermost
parts of the earth are not yet Ills pos
session. Indeed, as the Prophet de
clares, "Darkness covers the earth, and
gross darkness the heathen.”
When we remember our Redeemer's
love for the. race, the love which led
Him to lay down Ills life to seek and
to recover that which was lost, we
are at first inclined to amazement that
He has not yet asked the Father for
Ills inheritance of the heathen. We
are astonished that He has permitted
the Prince of darkness and the relgit
of Sin and Death to exist for more than
eighteen centuries since He suffered,
"the Just for the unjust, that He might
bring us to God.” But perplexity In
the matter might well be answered
by our Lord's reply to the Sndducees:
"Ye do err, not knowing the Scrip
tures, nor the power of God.” As we
como to understand the Scriptures
more fully, and to appreciate how the
power of God will be exercised in
bringing the henlheu under the domi
nation of the Redeemer, the eyes of
our understanding open, and we are
enabled to rejoice accordingly.
Why Did He Not Ask?
Our Lord did not nsk for His great
power to reign nt an earlier date be
cause He knew the Father's Plan, and
was well contented with the Divine
times and seasons. He had no wisli
for a change in this. lie did not ask
to receive the heathen for an inheri
tance at the beginning of the Gospe!
Age. but has been content to wait, and
to plnce that request in Us due Nine.
In harmony with another feature of
the Divine Program which must first
be fulfilled. That other feature is the
selection of the Church, the Rride of
Christ, the members of His Body, it
pleased the Father to make our Lord
not only the world's Redeemer and
King, but also the High Priest of an
under-priesthood, the Bridegroom of
the Church. His Bride, the Elder Broth
er of these saints of glory whom the
Father is pleased to develop during
this Gospel Age as New Creatures in
Christ Jesus, to tie sharers of His suf
ferings and of Ilis glory to follow.
Meantime the heathen have been
suffering no injustice. Born In sin,
shaped in iniquity, condemned to
death, they have been having expe
riences with sin and death, and going
down into the grent prison house for
periods of linconsciousnesa—until the
Redeemer, at His Second Advent
shall call them and all mankind from
this great prison-house, the tomb.
This lie foretold, saying, “All that are
In the graves shall hear the voice of
the Sou of God. and shall come forth.”

Fair Trial la Promised All.
Not only will this luclude the Church
of the First-born, who have been ap

but It will include also the remainder
of mankind, those who have not had
God's approval, nil of whom, because
redeemed, shall cotne forth unto Judg

to determine their worthiness or uu
worthlness of life everlasting by the
manner in which they shall receive, or
by tlielr rejection of. The Christ of
God when, during the Millennium. He
shall be made fully known to them.
It was also part of the Divine pur

80. then, our Lord's reason for not

Inheritance nnd the remotest parts of
the earth ns Ills possession, was that
lie knew the Father's Plan to lie a
different one. the more excellent way;
and He delighted to do the Father's
will. And so with all the followers of
Christ. As soon us they ascertain the
Father's glorious Plnn of Sulvntlon.
they find It to lie soul-satlsfylng. and
greatly prefer It to any plan of tlielr
own. Undeveloped Christians, whom
the Apostle designates "babes” In
Christ, are the ones who are continual
ly praying to the Heavenly Father for
a change of the Divine Program, im
agining that their wisdom and their
love In respect to the heathen are su
perior to those of the Infinite Creator.
Nearly all Christian people have had
their experience with such ignorance;
and we are glad to suppose that the
Heavenly Father laid not the sin of such
presumption to our charge, hut rather,
sympathetically appreciated our Inter
est In the heathen, although He must
have depreeuted our lack of reverence,
our headiness, our highminded as
sumption of more than Infinite wis
dom!
We are not saying a word agninst
missions—home or foreign. Quite to
the contrary, we believe that every
Christian should Inlior with heart and
hand to do all in bis power to glorify
the Father and the Redeemer, and to
enlighten Ills fellow-men respecting the
Cross of Christ, and the blessings
which it secures. But while willingly,
gladly serving the Divine Cause, “In
stant in season and out of season,” we
should “learn to labor nnd to wnlL”
We should learn that the laboring un
der present conditions is arranged
chiefly for our benefit—for the develop
ment In the minds of the Koyul Priest
hood of the sacrificing qualities and the
graces of the Holy Spirit—meekness,
gentleness, patience, faith, long-suf
fering. brotherly kindness, love.
"Worker* Together With God.”
Let us be sure, dear frieuds, that any
theory of ours respeetiug the heathen,
or any other feature of the Divine
Program, which in any degree implies
superior wisdom, superior energy or
superior love on our part, as compared
with that of our Heavenly Father and
our Redeemer, must be wrong. The
sooner we learn to pray from the
heart, “Th.v will be done," the better
it will be for us. the more shall we be
able to get into harmony with our
Lord, and the more shall we be used
as His ambassadors and representa
tives. Tbe wisdom of man Is foolish
ness with God. and the Wisdom of
God is foolishness with man. Hence
we must not take the human stand
point In Investigating or reasoning
upon the Divine purposes and Pro
gram. Rather, we must go direct to
the Word of God, that we may be
taught of God, that we may discern
the beauty, the harmony, of His plaus.
—1 Corinthians 3:1!).
It is written that “obedience is bet
ter than sacrifice"; and this being rec
ognized, how careful it should make
us to inquire what the will of the
Lord Is; to search the Scriptures, that
we may there ascertain the Divine
Frogram, and be found in hurmony
therewith! There we find that the
Lord's present work is the completing
of the Royal Priesthood, the Royal
Judge, the Royal Prophet, the Royal
Mediator, the Great King, for the
world of mankind—for the world’s de
liverance from the bondage of Sin and
Death, and their assistance back to
harmony with God. Thus seeing, we
shall have patience In respect to the
heathen, and strive now to make our
own calling and election sure nud to
lay down our lives for the brethren.
In assisting to build them up in the
most holy faith, “until we all come to
the measure of the stature of a Man
In Christ"—the great Mediator of the
New Covenant, of whom Jesus Is the
Head—the Church Ills Body.
Converting the World.
When will the world be converted?
When will Christ ask for the heathen?
When will the Father give them to
111 m? llow long. O Lord? The Scrip
tural answer, dear friends, Is that It
has pleased the Father to select the
“Jewel” class during this Gospel Age
by means which the world would think
foolish—by means of the preaching of
the Good Tidings. But His Program
for the future Age is different. There
are millions who have no ear to hear
tbe preaching of the Cross of Christ.
(1 Corinthians 1:18.) There are mil
lions who have no eye of faith to see
the glorious things of God. In fact,
according to ttie Scriptures, only a
Little Flock, comparatively, can he
brought Into accord with tbe Lord un
der the conditions of the present time,
because sin abounds, because Death
reigns, because Satan, the Prince of
this world, now works antagonistical
ly In the hearts of the children of dis
obedience.
Hence it has pleased God to have a
different method of dealing with the
world of mankind In general from that
which He has adopted in dealing with
the Church in this Age. In the next
Age. force will be used, and not merely
moral suaslou. Force will be employ
ed Ln putting down the reign of evil.
Satan will not merely be requested to
desist from deceiving the world, but
will be bound for a thousand years,
and be unable to deceive the nations.

Heathen Fall Under Him.
Another Pea'm describes Messiah's
triumph In the Mlllenn tl Age, saying,
“Gird Th.v sword upon Thy thigh. O
Most Mighty, with Th.v glory nnd Thy
majesty. And ln Th.v majesty ride
prosperously In the cause of Truth and
Meekness and Righteousness; and Thy
right hand shall teach Thee terrible
things. Thine arrows are shnrp In the
heart of the King's enemies; whereby
the people fall under Thee." (Psalm
45:3-5.) Instead of people here, rend
heathen, as in the original, nnd we
have a picture of the conversion of the
heathen as it will shortly bo accom
plished. We are not to suppose the
Lord will ride upon n horse, or that
literal arrows will literally pierce the
hearts of Ills enemies. We are to un
derstand this picture to signify our
Lord's triumphal conquering of the
world; and that the arrows of Truth,
which will go forth unto the whole
world, will reach the hearts of men
and smite them down. Even so we
read that when St. Peter preached at
Pentecost that the Jews had taken
and crucified the Son of God. the hear
ers were “cut 1o the heart”—with the
lance of Truth. Thank God for such
arrows from the quiver of Divine Wis
dom. Justice. I.ove! We rejoice that
the heathen will thus be conquered
for the Lord, and thus eventually
every knee bow and every tongue con
fess.
The work of dealing with the heath
en, with the world—with all except
the Church—will begin with the gen
eration living at the time of the es
tablishment of the Lord's Kingdom.
In due time it will proceed and will
ultimately include ull that are in their
graves in the reverse order from that
in which they entered. And the last
shall be the first to come forth—“ev
ery man in Ids own order.” or class.
Deep Humiliation Is Yet Promised tho
World.
Too frequently do Bible students
neglect to see whether or not their in
terpretations are in harmony with the
context of the passages under discus
sion. Let us not make this mistake.
Turning to the second Psalm, we find
that following our text is the declara
tion, "Thou shalt break them with a
rod of iron; Thou shalt dash them in
pieces like a potter's vessel." (Ve''so
0.) The application of this evidently
Is to the time of our Lord's Second Ad
vent, when the selection of the Church
shall have been completed nnd she
shall have entered into His glory as
the Bride, the Lamb's Wife, symbol
ically pictured as the New Jerusalem,
coming down from God out of Heaven.
From that New Jerusalem, we are
told, the River of tlie Water of Life
shall flow freely, and whosoever will
may freely partake of it. On either
hank will grow the Trees of Life,
whose leaves fire for the healing of
the nations. And the Spirit and the
Bride will say. Come; and whosoever
will may come, and take of the Wa
ter of Life. But in the meantime, be
fore the nations, the world, will be
ready for that blessing from the New
Jerusalem, they must needs pass
through a period of very deep hu
miliation—"A Time of Trouble such ns
never was since there was a nation.” —
Matthew 24:21.
As for the nations of that time, the
extent to which they will suffer de
struction will depend largely upon
their own attitude, as is intimated by
the verses following our text. Those
of the nations who freely aml heartily
accept of Messiah's rule wnl be cor
respondingly saved from the breaking
process. Hence it is urged. “Be wise,
Oye kings of the earth! Kiss the Son,
lest He be angry, and ye perish from
the way. when Uls wrath is kindled
but n little.”
But while this seems to offer leni
ency, mercy, these favors are condi
tional on the manner in which the
Messianic Kingdom shall be received.
Other Scriptures intimate that all the
nations, not only lientlien but civilized,
will lie found In violent opposition to
the Heavenly Kingdom, and hence that
ell together they will he crushed as the
vessels of a potter.
The Glorious Outcome.
The Lord tells us that as the heav
ens are higher than the earth, so are
His ways higher than man's ways, and
Ills plans higher than man's plans.
And this we find true as we come to
better understand the Scriptures. Who
ever dreamed of such lengths and
breadths nnd heights and depths of
“Love Divine, all love excelling,” as
nre implied and included in God's
great Plan of selecting first The Christ
-Jesus the Head, and the Church. His
Body—and then through these bless
ing all the families of the earth with,
a knowledge of HUnself and the glori
ous opportunities for life eternal.
We make no claims of universal sal
vation; for the Scriptures dlstinetlj
speak of some who will die the Second
Death, having proved themselves not
sufficiently iu harmony with righteous
ness to be worthy of eternal life —even
after being brought to a knowledge of
the Truth. But the Scriptures show
us that when all the unwilling and dis
obedient shall have been cut off In the
Second Death, the whole venrth will be
filled with the knowledge of the glory
of God.
