MESSiAH TO ASK FOR THE HEATHEN Tlie Redeemer Has Not Yet Asked For Kls Inheritance. ACCORDING TO DIVINE PLAN. World-wide Dominion Promised Mes siah—Th# Conversion of tho Heathen Bhortly to Bo Accomplished—Mes siah’s Conguect of tho Nation*—Tho Arrow* of Truth Will Reach Men's Hearts—From the Quiver of Divine Wisdom, Justice and Love—Fore# to Be Employed In Putting Down All Opposition—Death the Last Enemy to Be Destroyed Forever. 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.” -John r. 'JS. 29 I!. V. Fair Trial la Promised All. Not only will this luclude the Church of the First-born, who have been ap proved of God. and who. passing trial now. will come forth unto life eternal, 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 ment-trial. A fair trial will be theirs, 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 pose that the whole earth should be filled with people: and hence tlie bring ing forth of a progeny is a part of the Divine will for mankind. The few short years of the present life, with an experience of sin and death condi tions, will In due time be supplement ed by the glorious period of the Mil- USE HERALD WANT ADS. lennlum, ...■> ...uni o,.port unit, c for lessons of righteousness and Us it wards for obedience.

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. USE HERALD WANT ADS. SUNDAY. MARCH 13. I Likewise, mankind will no longer be Invited to accept Christ, nnd to give their hearts In obedience to Ultn, but on the contrary, they will l>e compelled to be oliedleut A« It I* written.

Offers of grace will uo longer l>e held out. with reward for faith nttacbed; Instead, knowledge shall fill the whole earth, its the waters cover the great deep, (i’ldllpf lans 2:10, 11; laa!ab 11:0.)

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.
