CREATION DRAMA EXHIBITED In Discourse Pastor Russell, Associa tion’s President, Disoussed Eloquent ly, “Repentance First, Then Consecra tion,’’ and Pointed Out From Sorip ture That the Gospel le For the Con* trite of Heart Only—“ Suffering With Christ”—Ultimate Purpose of Trials and Afflictions—Glory to Follow. A s bu r y Park. N. J., June 28. Pastor Russell is here in attendance at a big General Convention of the International Bi ble Students’ As sociation, which began its sessions Friday and will continue twelve days. Three Gen e r a 1 Conventions of this Associa- tion are now in progress, the other two being at Columbus, Ohio, and Clinton. lowa. Upwards of 2,000 delegates are in attendance at each Convention. Be lng President of the Association. Pas tor Russell expects to be present three days at each of the assemblies. Two sessions are held daily in each of the cities, and tbe Pastor’s famous Creation Drama is exhibited each even ing. There being four parts to the Drama, three full presentations will be given. Pastor Bussell’s theme today was one of great Interest. The discourse set forth the philosophy of the untold sufferings of Christians throughout this Gospel Dispensation. Part IV. of The Photo-Drama of Creation, now on exhibition both at home nnd abroad, depicts the unwritten history of the Church of Christ, and enables those who see It tn realize to some extent what it has cost true Christians to “fol low Fils steps." The Pastor’s text was. “Jehovah hnth appointed Ms? to preach good tidings to the meek. f»> bind up the broken-hearted.”—lwliah (11:1. The Pastor opened his discourse by drawing attention to tbe statement that the Gospel Message Is for the meek, the broken-hearted During the Millennial Reign of Christ God will tnke away the stoniness of heart from mankind and will give, instead, hearts of flesh. Under the blessed conditions of the Kiugdom. hard, selfish hearts will gradually become soft, tender, kind, gentle. Blit now. in advance of Messiah’s Kingdom. God is seeking those who are seeking Him. Those who are not especially seeking Him are not likely to find Him Preaching the Gospel to the meek Is the work of this Age. This is the only class which God wishes to have now. He ts seeking the class that de sire to be of the Bride of Christ, Jesus' Joint-heirs in tbe Messianic Kingdom Therefore the Message is not such as would suit the hard-hearted. Only the tender-hearted care to know about the love of God. the mercy of God. tbe forgiveness of sins, the privilege of re turning to the Father’s House and of having Jesus ns their Savior. The Pastor bcjjteves that in the p:\si ! we have had a wrong idea as to whom j the Gospel Message is to go. We went out Into the highways and byways b j find those who were very wicked blasphemers. etc., thinking that thest were the ones with whom we were to deal. The Scriptures do not authorize any such Idea. A person living In un repented sin is not in the proper con dltlon to receive God’s great Plan of the Ages, the speaker claimed. God has declared that “none of the wieked shall understand.” He does not wish them to do so. The very reverse is true. His purpose Is to bind up the broken hearted. God’s Message speaks peace to those who are in trouble and who are look lng to Him. seeking the righteousness which He provides. Some nppajenth have made a great mistake in Think lng that the Gospel is a sledge ham mer with which they are to break men’s henrts. The speaker does not know of any Scriptural commission | for any of the people of God to break j the hearts of men. On the contrary j he thinks that tbe Devil does most ot j such work. The Two Conversions. There are two conversions, declared I the Pastor. The first is a turning from | sin; tbe second, a turning to God j Those desirous of approaching God nre ! seeking to lenve sin. Those who art ■ living in sin wish to be away from God We cannot go tn two directions at once The course which God would have nnj j pursue ts this; When one finds thni | be Is a sinner, he should repent nru’ j turn away from sin; then, when lu j learns that God has made an arrange I ment by which sinners may be recon ! died to Himself, he should nscertalt i what steps he should take in order ti j obtain Ids share in that reconciliation While turning from sin may In sonn i respects be called a conversion, yet li j Is not the principal conversion. Onß j those who take the step of full con 1 Secretion to the Lord receive tht Holy Spirit and obtain a clear view of the Divine Plan. A* the Apostle says “The natural man recelveth not the READ HERALD WANT ADS o. i ...... .- j <iuu; for tin*; are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they ate spirit ually discerned.” Then the Pastor explained that those begotten of the Holy Spirit are Scrip turally called children of God, heirs of God, Joint-heirs with Jesus Christ If faithful unto death, they will be glori fied in the First Resurrection. Mean time they are to grow in grace, know! edge, love and all other fruits and graces of the Spirit—grow by their trials, by their obedience, by striving against the world, the flesh and the Devil. All this must be done before this class will be ready for their resur rection change. In the present time, however, all who are begotten of the Holy Spirit not only btAsng to the Church in general, wltla ’nil others of the people of God, this one Brother hood of Christ on the spiritual plane, but they are also reckoned as members of tbe Body of Christ on the fleshly plane—the earthly plane. From this viewpoint, Christ has been suffering in the flesh throughout the Gospel Age St. Peter says that the Prophets of Israel testified beforehand of the sufferings of The Christ and of the glory to follow; and hence he urges the Church to arm themselves with the same mind that Jesus had. St Paul speaks of filling up that which is be hind of the afflictions of The Christ all the members of Ills Body. After those sufferings are filled up, then the glory will follow. The sufferings are not yet complete. The speaker went on to explain how trials and discipline are means of de veloping Christian character, preparing the child of God for future service in the Kingdom. The privilege of suffer ing with Christ in the flesh is some thing to be appreciated. Whoever has trials in the flesh because of Christ, because of being His disciple, has oc casion for rejoicing. Such should con tinue faithful, in order that by and by as a polished jewel he may be ready for a glorious setting in the immortal ity of the future. An uncut, unpolished Jewel is not worth much. Its real worth is brought forth in the cutting So the Lord gives His Jewels the cut ting and polishing necessary to en able them to reflect the glorious light of the goodness of God. Jewels do not all require the same amount of polishing, declared the Pas tor. A small diamond can be cut and polished more easily than can a large one. Those of the people of God who undergo severe trials nnd afflictions may hope that they will be accounted large jewels in the hands of the Lord The larger the diamond, the more work in cutting and polishing. Confessing or Denying Christ. Then the Pastor discussed the termr upon which one may make his calling and election sure to a position in the glorified Body of Christ beyond the veil. From the time when one’s con secration is accepted by the Fathei and he is begotten of tbe Holy Spirit his name is written in the Lamb’s Book of Life as a member of tbe Bodj of Christ. To these our Lord declares that If they are faithful He will not blot their names from His Book. These are to remain faithful to what they agreed to do —to give their little all In sacrifice. On that condition they weft accepted and had their names recorded But if any such deny Christ. He will deny them. If they continue to con fess Him, He will confess them. T< confess Christ Is to live for Him day by day-confessing Him in the way in which one uses time, influence, money talents; confessing Him in business, in everything that is either said or done But if any consecrated child of God Should deny Christ by seeking to live after the world, by neglecting th* Covenant of Sacrifice, such would thu? demonstrate his unworthiness of a place in the Bride class—the Church in glory. Should any one ask the Pastor why he lays so much stress upon consecra tion, he would reply that, according to Scripture. God is not now dealing with the world In general; thfit in order to bring our petitions to the Throne ol Heavenly Grace we must get into re lationshlp with God; nnd that there i only one way by which this can be done—consecration. To emphasize his point the speaker used the illustration of a wedding in the time of our Lord On such occasions it was customary for the host to furnish all the guests with a plain white linen garment, which was to be worn over their own garments. Whether the guesta wore rich or poor raiment, the wedding gar ment covered everything, and made them all brethren for the time being, for they were guests of the same host Applying his Illustration, Paste: Bussell explained that all consecrated Christians have accepted God's lnvita tion to the marriage of the Lamb—the Son of God. But no matter how well we may arrange our own garments, each must put on the wedding gar ment or else remain away from the feast The moment of consecration is the moment of receiving the Robe of Christ's Righteousness, and only those who continue to wear that robe will have entrance to the wedding. By na tore mankind are sinners. There is only one way to get rid of sins—by be lief in the T#ord Jesus Christ, and full consecration to do the will of God Whoever really believes that Jesus died for his sins will act upon his be lief by presenting his body a living sacrifice "Garments Unspotted From the World." Continuing the figure of the Wedding Garment, the Pastor declared that the robe put on by the Christians who de aired to have entruuce to the Marringp of the Lamb was white and clean, rep resenting his full Justification at the moment of consecration—all blemishes of the flesh being covered with the merit of Christ. The Scriptures tell us that those who ultimately enter in to the Mnrrlage will be those w-ho have kept their garment* unspotted from READ HEitALD WANT ADS SUNDAY, JULY 5. tile world. .... uai.guuousucba is sin, every sin is a spot upon the robe, whether it be committed wilfully or ignorantly. All faithful children of God should use all diligence in keep ing their garments free from blemish. This may be done by daily thinking about the robe, and nightly asking the Lord to remove each spot—to forgive each failure made that day. The blood of Jesus Christ keeps cleansing ail who ask that they be cleansed. This is the Heavenly Father's ar rangement for His children. He de sires them to walk watching where they tread. TCus they learn every detail in respect to their own imperfections. No one can live fer even one day without trespassing upon the perfect Law of God; for by nature we are all imperfect In heart the child of God does not sin; the New Creature does not sin. It is merely that the flesh is weak. But we have the comforting assurance of the Scrip ture that “if any man sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the Righteous." Our Lord is there to make good with the Father for all the Adamic weaknesses. The Pastor then discussed two kinds of sin, one of which he declared to be forgivable and the other unforgivable. If to any extent the mind consents to the deed, to that extent the sin is wil ful. Then only that portion which was not wilful will be forgiven. Whatever part was not forgivable is punishable. The individual will receive stripes, punishments, of one sort or another, proportionate to the degree In which the will consented to the sin. There is naturally such sympathy be tween the flesh and the mind that some times even tbe will of the New Crea ture permits the flesh to take it by force, as it were. This should not be; the will is responsible, and because of its carelessness will receive stripes of some kind. But so long as the indl vldnal feels sorry as soon as the yield ing to temptation has passed, he may know that his will does not love sin. Should his will ever change and pre fer sin, he would not be sorry after the sin was committed. How to Be an Overcomer. It was then shown (flat every con secrated child of God must be an over comer In fighting the good fight of faith, and In obedience to God must put down everything that pertains to sin and unrighteousness in himself, and stand for that which is pleasing in the sight of God. This is the test of our loyalty to Him and to the princi ples of His righteous Government Many sins are really weaknesses of the flesh which overcome the will momen tarily. Just here the New Creature must conquotr in the fight He must get tbe victory over the flesh. If we sin, if we trespass, we must go to the Fountain of Grace nnd be forgiven. The great difficulty, the Pastor de clared, seems to be that after we have had some experiences of this llnd, we properly enough feel ashamed that we have not done better. This is the time when the Christian is in danger. He Is liable to fail to ask forgiveness at the Throne of the Heavenly Grace; for he feels that already he has been forgiven perhaps many times for the same trespass. Therefore he may try to forget the spot, to forget the “robe,” almost to forget the Lord. Gradually a veil comes between him and God; the Father Is not so near and so dear as once He was. While He is still his Heavenly Father, while still the erring one trusts in Him, nevertheless there Is a lack of the fellowship of the Spir it. Earth-born clouds have hidden the Father’s face. This Is the experience of hundreds of the people of God; for they cannot be In His presence with spots npon their robes, and they do not resolve that they will not live away from Him. They caDnot have fellowship with the Lord while their robes are spotted, nor can they have proper Christian life while absent from the Lord. The les son on this point, the speaker declar ed, is that we watch and keep humble. To come to the Lord and say, “O Lord, another time I have failed! How ashamed 1 am!” is to take the right step. Humility is one of the very foundations upon which all other graces must be built So the Apostle Peter says. “Humble yourselves there fore under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time." The Cleansing Blood of Christ. The number of those without spot or wrinkle or any such thing is very small, said the Pastor. Many Chris tians have not kept their wedding robes with sufficient care, and thus have shown their lack of appreciation of the wedding and of their invitation to at tend. If the attention of such be call ed to tbe spots, they try to put them out of sight, to Ignore them, to declare that everybody has spots on his robe. This is an unwise procedure; for tbe robe is our passport into the Kingdom. If the spot* are not removed, they gradually become more and more a hindrance to those who seek to be ac counted worthy of a place in the Bride class. The Paster then reminded hi* audi ence that when the Christen flrat re ceived his robe. It was pure white, with n certain design stamiied thereon, and that he was expected to embroider It with the character-likeness of the Lord. If he has gotten the robe spot ted and bedraggled, he should go to the Lord In prayer, and persist until he has assurance of forgiveness and cleansing. We rend. “It we confess our sins, He Is faithful nnd Just to forgive us our (rtn*. nnd to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” It Is not merely a matter of love, but of Justice, on onr part The Heavenly Father made the arrangement; Jesus has died, paid our penalty and Imputed of Hl* own pierlt sufficient to cleans? all unintentional spot*.
