Since the Banishing of Drink From
the U. S. Navy the World Now has
# Three Teetotaler Navies
London.—With the banishing of the
wine mess from the United States
i avy, the world now has three teeto
taller sea-Tlghting organizations The
two pioneers are the navies of Russia
and Japan. And in a few years" time
the British navy may make the
fourth.
Any Englishman who hazarded
such a prophecy thirty years ago
would have been asking for trouble,
hut the Immense progress of temper
ance prlncii.les, both In the ward
room and between decks during the
last decade, has made the prospect
of a "blue-ribbon" British navy any
thing hut an impossibility.
Indeed, there are already two "abo
litionist'' ships under the white en
sign; neither the Nlobe nor the Rain
bow, which have been lent to Canada,
could muster a tot of rum between
them.
Ulan Reviewed.
The modern tendency was striking
ly Indicated only last year by the
First lord of Admiralty himself.
When tile teetotallers in the navy
had at last grown to a respectable
percentage of every ship’s company,
ihe abstainer was not required to
draw his tot, and opposite his name
was placed the letter T.
hast year Mr. Churchill reversed
the plant and threw the onus of draw
ing Ihe grog upon the man who want
el It; It was he who was made con
spicuous by the addition of the letter
G to his name, and not the abstainer,
who wa- inferentially regarded as the
normal member of the ship’s com
pany.
“The Grog.”
: In lieu ol the grog, each abstainer
draws 9.16 of a penny per day, and ef
forts are being made by a highly
placed officer to persuade parliament
to increase this allowance to one pen
ny. When the suggestion was put
torward In the house a few months
iigo, Dr. Macnamara raid the extra
7-1 fid, asked for would cost the Ad
miralty an additional 6125,000 or
8150,000 per annum.
There Ih a distinct limit to the size
of a British naval officer's wine bill;
hut that limit is not a hard-and fiiet
one throughout the service. The
amount which subordinate officers
drink is in the absolute discretion of
the captain, and but once he has ex
i pressed his views upon the subject,
i it is not generally wise for the lieu
tenant to demonstrate a difference of
opinion.
Similar Story.
Of the army, a similar story has
to be told. The Royal Army Temper
ance Association —which has been
i worklug in India for sixty years, and
] in this country for nineteen years—
has a membership at home and
abroad of 62,000 men Fifty-eight
thousand of there arc total abstain
ers. the other 4,000 being pledged to
rllsrotirage excessive drinking. That
j the value of the association's work Is
j appreciated by the government Is
| shown by the grant of $3,750. which Is
made every year for the work at
home, and the payment of 8 annas
tier day by the government tn India
for every teetotal Tommy in its ser
vice.

In Receiving Board Structure,
Dr. Burrows Made Bitter De
nunciation of Present Day
Books and Drama.
Nashville, Tenn. —Present day lit
erature and drama Saturday were bit
terly denounced by Dr. I.ansing Bur
rows of Americus, Ga„ in an address
: before the Southern Baptlts conven
tion, of which he is president. The
’ occasion was a response to the pre
sentation of the new Sunday school
j board building to the convention.
"What God, the creator of mind and
I insplrer of thought, has Intended to
make men wise unto salvation through
, faith, which is in Christ Jesus,” Mr.
Burrows declared, “the arch enemy has

JU> destruction. Having a delirious in
i terest in reading, we are easy prey to
the designing.
Thgir Propagation.
Thus are all the hateful dogmas of
' religious, social and political heresy
propagated. Socialism, as represented
by one of Its leaders, puts nine-tenths
i of its Income Into literature, choosing
I Bit? Sabbath Day for Its distribution
into the homes of the people. The
adherents of an hysterical substitute
for soul savtng in the guise of a body
healing publish a daily Journal of no
mean proportions. The cult of the
libidinous present through Innumer
able cheap magazines attractive pic
tures of undraped forms and even the
advertisements reveal women In cor
sets and men In underclothes. And
God's people fill their center tables,
around which gather their unsuspect
ing children, with these seductive In
fluences.
‘‘Tha Weakest Piece.”
As one of our own cherished lead
ers has expressed It, 'the weakest place
In our denominational life Is that oc
i easioned by our lack of making ade
quate provision of the supplying the
masses of the people with the rigiit
kind of religious literature.’"
The presentation address was deliv
ered by A. B. Hill of Nashville, chalr
! man of the Sunday school hoard build
ing committee. He stated that tho
structure aas completed 16 months
after work was begun upon It. The
building is located on a $60,000 lot
on Eighth avenue, a central business
street. The edifice cost $160,001.72.

tendance Capacity audiences will

Asked why the Creation Photo
Drama is exhibited In theatre*. Pip,
tor Russell said: "Theatres are better
places for the Drama of Creation tltuu
churches, because Catholics do not
care to go to Protestant Chorehes, not
Protestants to Catholic Chftrches, nor
Jews to either—and nil classes nfe In
terested In the Drama, and It Is foi
all.”
Continuing, the Pastor said: “The
Photo-Drama 1* reaching fur and
wide. Tlte International Bible Btu
dents Association Is supplying the
Drama, wfth if* various accessories
without charge, and the public, irrtor
ested In Bible Study, are paying for
theatres In which It Is shown.
"The Drama Is going (lrst to the tar
gest cities, lint many calls from small
places will hare consideration In dm*
time.”
Pastor Russell, as usual, delivered :i
discourse, taking for bis text: “i be
Beech you. brethren, by the mercies o:
God. that ye present your bodies a Itv
lng sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God
—yonr reasonable service.”—Rom. 12:1
The Pastor began Ills discourse with
the declaration that the Apostle is not
addressing the world In ecneral,. hut
only those who believe that God sent
His Son into the world to die for om
sins, and who have taken the step of
trusting In the blood of Christ as theti
Ransom-price. Those the Apostle ad
dreßses as brethren, not as sinners
The text, therefore, may be applied
only to those who have been Justified
by faith. These alone may have the
further opportunity of presenting their
bodies a living sacrifice, hdly and tie
ceptabie unto God.
The speaker reminded his hearers
that In die typical sacrifice*, offered nc
cording to the Instructions which God
gave Israel through Moses, every nni
mal brought to the altar of the Lord
must be without blemish—the Lord I
thus indicating that no one who la In )
an Imperfect condition wonld be ac
ceptable to Him. fie then showed that
under the armngsment made for th-
Church of the Gospel Age something
was done In order that the natural
blemishes of the consecrated might b«
covered; for all were by nature chll
dren of wrath, even as th# rest of the
world. That which was don* for them
was the forgiveness of their sins—fig
nratlvely represented as the covering
of the weaknesses of their flesh with
the robe of Christ's righreonaness.
Th* Tabarnacl* a Picture.
The I’nstor then refreshed the mlude
of his atidienco with a description of
Isrnel's Tabernacle In the wilderness
God gave that people instruction*
through Moses to construct that Tab
ernaolfc. not merely for their own con
venience in worshiping Him. but aa a
type, or a picture, of Hl* great Plan
for human salvation. The Tabernacle
proper was bnllt of bonrda overlaid
with gold, iiml was covered with sktns.
Around the Tatieruncle was a Court,
constructed of whits liimn curtains
bung ou pole*. In front of the Court
was the entrance, called the Gat*.
Between the Gate and the Taber
Darla were the Itrarrn Altar and tin
iATer. The Altar was directly In front
of the Gats, and on It tbs offerings
were made. The I .aver was filled with
water for the washing of th* band#
and the feet of the priests. Thotu
privileged to enter the court could not
reach fha Tabwnaete without passim;
both th* Altar and the Lflver Tiy

Scriptures. He is our Redeemer. Out
Sins could not be forgiven except
through the merit of the Sacrifice
which God has provided freely for us
Until this sacrifice is seen and accept

ward God on the part of the one seek

Those who see and accept the Sncri
fice provided for us are then privileged
to go on to the antitypieul Laver.
When they turn away from sin, they
find that certain filthinesses of the
flesh remains wttb them; and they
endeavor to rid themselves of these
iweaknesses. They make the effort to
cleanse their thoughts, words and ac
tlons, In order to be more pleasing to
God. Going still further in their desire
to draw near to God. they come to the
Door of the antitypical Tabernacle.
Two Classes of the Consecrated.
The Pastor next showed that during
the Jewish Age no Jew was fully jus
tilled. All that Israel had was a typical
justification and a typical relationship
with God; for until the real sacrifice
for sin had been offered by our Lord
Jesus Christ and had been presented
to the Father, there could be no actual
justification. Justification, he declared.
Is a progressive matter. When one
merely secs the sacrifice of Christ, he is
not justified. But ns he draws nearer
and nearer, he is coming more and more
Into that condition which Is right
Every step toward God—every step nt
faith, obedience and desire to please
Him—-is n step toward complete Justifi
cation.
Referring again to the typical Taber
nnele, the Pastor discussed the sncri
flees on the Day of Atonement. In the
antitype, he declared, all «f the peopb
of God who liavq come to Tltm In con
•ecratlon are reirresented by the two
goats that took pnrt in the ceremony ol
that day. They are either the Lord's
goat class or the svnpo-gont class. After
they have passed through the antltyp
leal Court-after they have entered tin
antttypleal Gate, passed the antityplca
Altar and washed at the antltyplcai
Laver—they are tied, as It were, at the
Door of the antltypleal Tabernacle,
that Is to say. they consecrate them
selves to God.
fn the type, the gonts were brought
to the Door of the Tabernacle, and
there waited for the high priest to casi
lots upon them. As soon as be had
done so. he offered the Lord’s gont In
sacrifice. In the nntltrpe this signifies
God’s acceptance of the sacrifice of the
consecrated; and from that moment
onward the [>erson Is reckoned dead
As the Apostle rays, “Ye nre dead, and
your life Is hid with Christ in God.'
Thenceforth the goat represents mere
ly the old nature—the flesh—counted
dead. The New Creature Is thereafter
represented In the body of the high
priest—a member of his body.
The Pastor then carefully explained
that as the sacrifice of the bullock pre
ceded the sacrifice of the goat, and
made It possible, so In the antitype
Christ's sacrifice preceded the sacrifice
of the Church, and made theirs possi
ble. Those who do not enre to present
their bodies as living sacrifices are not
invited now. Their opportunity will
come during the next Age. At present
the call Is for those who desire to fol
low in the footsteps of Jesus—|hose
who will lay down life Itself In His
service. This 1b the class to which
reference Is made in the text which
reads: "We have an Advocate with the
Father, Jesus Christ, the Righteous."
This clnss have forsaken sin, drawn
nigh unto God. and have come to the
place where they say, “O Lord, I give
invself to Thee.” Then the Lord ac
cepts their offering.
This Is the antitypical slaying of the
goat; this Is the death of the old na
ture: and Just nt the moment when the
old nature Is reckonedly dead, at that
same moment the New Creature be
gins- begotten of the Holy Spirit, that
these may lie children of God. spiritual
sons of God. These hare become the
Lord’* in two sense*: first. In tbe sense
that they nre New Creatures, begotten
of the Holy Spirit, and will be glorified
In th* First Resurrection by and by. if
faithful; and second, that they nre also
reckoned as members of the Body of
Christ on the human plane.
“Present Your Bodies.”
Referring again to his text, the Pas
tor demonstrated that the Apostle's
argument In the context relates prl
marlfy to the presenting of the human
nature In sacrifice. Only the high
priest conM offer the sacrifice In th*
type. In the antitype, th* great High
Priest offers those who present them
selves. Each one who presents his
body a living sacrifice In consecration
Is then taken in hand by our I»rd
Thenceforth the sacrifice Is reckoned
dead.
In this connection, the Pastor also
showed that the Aaronlc Order of
priests consisted of two classes, the
high priest and the under priests
This arrangement was typical of Christ
and the Church. He quoted Snip
tures to demonstrate that the Church
is a Royal Priesthood, of which Jesus

SUNDAY, MAY 17.
“God * * • hum made us sit together
in Heavenly places.” We have not yet
gone into Heaven itself—beyond the
'Second Veil —but we are in a Heavenly
condition. "Old things have passed
away, and all things have become
new.” We have left the Camp, and
have passed out of the Court condition
into the blessed condition of the light
of the presence of Hie Lord. Each of
these different pictures helps us to sea
how great tilings God has done for us.
“A Living Sacrifice.”
The Pnstoi declared that membership
In the Body of Christ is the all-impor
tant thing tc the Christian. This Body
of Christ, which is the Church, is un
der another figure called the Royal
Priesthood. It is the Divine purpose to
prepare in advance of the world a com
pany that will be able to instruct man
kind and to help them in every way
with respect to morals, and education
in things relnting to God. This espe
cially prepared class is the Church,
who as kings and priests will also have
authority, under their great High
Priest, to rule tlie world during tho
thousand years of the Messianic King
dom. Their work will be not only to
rule mankind for their good, but also
to uplift the race of Adam from sin.
degradation and death.
The opportunity to be a member of
this Royal Priesthood is certainly the
greatest privilege that has ever come to
any creature. It is to fit and prepare
this class for joint-heirship with Jesus
in the Kingdom that God deals with
the Church ns He does. He calls them
out of the darkness of the world into
the light of the knowledge of His own
glorious plans for the salvation of hu
manity.
Next the Pastor showed that this
matter of sacrifice may be viewed from
either of two standpoints—God’s view
and man’s. From the standpoint of
humanity, consecration seems to bo
very hard. There is no slavery in the
world like that of being a child of God
and an associate of Jesus, they think.
Everything must be given up. One can
not have anything of his own; he may
not eat. drink, sleep, think, or do any
thing as he would choose. On the con
trary, he must ask what the Lord
would have him do about everything.
He must have no will of his own. Any
other slave would be allowed to eat
what he chose and to think what he
chose, at least; but the Christian can
not ’do so. He must say. Not my
thoughts, not my way, not my will,
but the Lord's. This is the worldly
view of consecration; It seems hard;
Indeed, some will say. It is too much.
The view from the Divine standpoint
Is altogether different. We who look
at the subject from this standpoint
say. What have we. at best? We are
dying creatures. We have very little
strength, very little wealth; it requires
nearly all of our time to for
the necessities of life. We have very
little to give to the Lord. Therefore
we do not see why the Lord should ac
cept our sacrifice at ail.
To corroborate this view, the Pastor
cited the case of St. Paul, who de
clared that he counted all things but
loss nud dross for the excellency of
the knowledge of Christ Jesus his
Lord. St. Paul had more than hav«
most of the consecrated. A Roman
citizen by birth, he was also a mem
ber of a noble family, and had every
advantage of wealth and education.
He had good powers of speech and
reason, as his Epistles demonstrate.
Whoever will rend his Epistle to the
Romans will see that the master mind
behind that writing could handle a
case at law anywhere. Yet. after
summing up all his advantages, the
Apostle considered these things as
mere dross. He willingly sacrificed
them alt in order to win Christ; for
the things of this present life are not
worthy to he compared with the glory
that shall be revealed. This, the
speaker declared. Is the right view of
consecration —God’s standpoint
Look Not at the Things Sean,
The Pastor then discussed the expe
riences of the Christian who is walk
ing In the narrow way of sacrifice. He
has pleasures of which tbe world
knows nothing. His trials seem, as
the Apostle says, light afflictions,
which are bnt for a moment, and
which are working out for him a far
more exceeding and eternal weight of
glory, while he looks at the things un
seen. The Christian is looking at the
unseen things with tbe eye of faith—
the eyes of his understanding.
The Pastor made a practical applica
tion of his point by declaring that
whenever an experience begins to be
rather hard, the Christian Is then look
ing at the things that are seen, and for
getting to l#ok at those that are invis
ible—the things of the Kingdom. Such
should shut their eyes to the things
that are seen, and ask the Lord to help
them to set both their eyes of under
standing and their affections on the
things as yet not seen—tbe things
which God has In reservation for those
who love Him supremely. These things
the natural man ennnot understand: to
him they are foolishness. But to those
who love the Lord they are the most
wonderful realities and bring tbe
greatest blessings.
Next the Pastor drew attention to the
mad rush for pleasure which charac
terizes our day. The whole world la
searching for pleasure He then asked
whether hie hearers hud ever known
any of them who hnd found genuine
pleasure. He bad not. With the Chris
tian. however. It is different The
Christian has found an unfailing source
of Joy. The pouoe of God. which pastes
all understanding, rules In his heart
In conclusion, the Pnstor exhorted
his audience to rejoice in the Lord. All
the couse rated should rejoice alwaya,
not cnly because they know the Lord,
but because they know that by Hnd by
the world's eyes of understanding will
be opened. The glorified Church wilt
have the pleasure of giving this Di
vine blessing
