FIGHTINGOFFA
FLYING HIE
The Aeroplane Has Introduced
a New and Interesting
Element in the Art of War
The aeroplane has introduced a new
and confusing element into the art
of war. for its rapid development has
triad o it one of the best, means for
obtaining information concerning an
enemy; and not only can they be used
for dropping bombs within the ene
mie.l.’ lines but the big airships are
even provided with rapid-fire guns.
How It is proposed to meet these new
forces is told in the following extract
from the special war number of the
Scientific American of September sth:
There are two means of combating
a flying machine. Many military stu
dents contend that the way to de
stroy an aeroplane is to put a machine
rifle In another aeroplane and attempt
to combat it in the air. This will
probably he the method followed in a
modern war at the present time. An
other means is to provide field ar
fJllery guns able to fire in the air and
many balloon guns of this type have
been tribd out by various countries.
One notable cannon of this type is the
Deport field gun, which is so arrang
ed that it can be used as a field ar
tillery gun for low targets, but may
he trained for aerial targets as well.
Difficulties.
There are a number us difficulties
connected with firing against balloons
or aeroplanes, and extensive experi
ments have been carried on in various
countries for the purpose of solving
this problem. The large ordnance
manufacturing pom-erns of the Krupp
and Khrhardt companies, in Germany,
have designed npd manufactured guns
firing 3-inch projectiles mounted on
automobiles or on wheels; but so far
no definite conclusions have really
been reached as to the most effective
manner of firing at balloons.
Among the difficulties experienced
Is the fact that the aeroplanes move
very rapidly, making it difficult to
follow them through the sights of the
gun. Anothe difficulty to he encoun
tered is the fact that the required
angle of departure for a projectile to
reach a certain range varies as the
target moves above the horizon. For
instance, a target on the same level
with the gun at 5,000 yards range may
require an angle of departure of 11
degrees; while if this target should
he located 45 degrees above the hor
izontal the super-elevation, which
is the elevation of the gun above the
line drawn from the gun to the target,
would he only 4 degrees or 5 degrees.
If tin* aeroplane should he the same
distance, hut vertically above the gun,
no elevation over the direction of the
line of sight would he necessary.
Estimate Distance.
It is 41 Iso a difficult matter to cli
mate the distance to these balloons,
and the use of range-finding instru
ments, due to the rapid movement of
the targets, is at times almost impos
sible. In some cases experiments
have been carried on with a view of
firing projectiles with burning tracers
attached to them. These tracers, by
burning in the air, will show the path
of the will show how
close the projectile may be to the tar
get. * %
That rifle or small guns can he fired
from aeroplanes has been demonstrat
ed While these guns would probably
riot he very effective against tropps
on the ground, there is small doubt
but bombs dropped from balloons
would he a very dangerous inconven
ience for the enemy. Experiments
carried on have shown that these
bombs can he dropped with great ac
curacy from a considerable height,
and a sighting arrangement for drop
ping them has been fairly w’eil per
fected. The principle of such a sight
ing device is to set the sight <t| r cer
tain elevation, depending o*» the silted
of the aeroplane atul its height, aim
at the target, and release the bomb as
soon ns the sight is on the proper
target.

Sept. 13.—Pastor
Russell took for
his theme today
the Parable of the
Sheep and the
Goats. His text
was, “These shall
go away into ever
lasting punish
ment, but the
righteous into life
eternal.” (Mat
thew 25:4C.) The
Photo - Drama o f
Creation depicts
this subject of the destiny of human
ity, and greatly assists the public to
understand the Scriptural usage of the
■words Skeol and Hades, so long mis
understood and misrepresented. The
I*»Btor said:
Closing Scenes of This Age.
God has stated times and-seasons for
every feature of His great Plan for the
Salvation of Mankind from sin and
death conditions. In the end of each
of these seasons there has been a fin
lshing up of its work and a clearing
off of the rubbish, preparatory to the
beginning of the work of the Incoming
Age. Thus in the end of the Jewish
Age there was a Harvest—a separa
tion of the wheat class from the chaff
and a complete rejection of she latter
class from God's favor. With the few
judged worthy In the end of that Age
a new arrangement began—the Gospel
Age—and now we find ourselves
amidst the closing scenes of this Age—
the Harvest—during which the wheat
class and the tare class are being sep
arated. With the wheat class, of
which our I.ord Jesus Christ is
Head, a new Age, the Millennium, is
about to be inaugurated. At the close
of the Millennial Age there will be
still another Harvest, in which the
sheep class will be separated from the
goat class, and ushered into the glory
of the ages to follow.
In the past niany of God’s people
have read their Bibles very carelessly.
Onr minds have been sluggish to spir
itual things. For instance, the Para
ble of the Sheep and the Goats was at
one time applied to the Church. We
failed altogether to notice that it does
not sny even one word respecting the
Church, but is applied to the world, the
natious. the heathen. For many cen
turies the Jews had been accustomed
to think of themselves as God’s nation,
God's people: all others they styled
heathen. Gentiles, the nations, the peo
ple: and In the Old Testament prophe
cies God has treated the subject from
that standpoint
In line with this usage, when Spirit
ual Israel was received into Divine fa
vor as the Royal Priesthood, the holy
nation, the peculiar people, all the re
mainder of mankind were properly
enough to lie thought of as the nations,
the Gentiles. Following this thought,
our Lord tells us in the Parable of the
Sheep and the Goats what will befall
the nations alter His Kingdom shall
have been set up—after tbe selection of
the true Church class to be the Bride,
the Ijimb's Wife
The Parable Descriptive of the New
Age.
That this parable refers to the work
of the Incoming Age is clearly indicat
ed in the opening verse. There the
Master distinctly says, “When the Sou
of Man shall come in His glory, and
•11 the holy angels wjtb Him. then
shall He alt upon the Throne of His
glory.” The scene of this parable evi
dently is laid after the Time of Trou
ble, when the nations shall have been
subdued. Satan bound, and the author!
ty of Christ’s Kingdom established.
Before that time shall hnve cotne, the
overcoming Church will hare been
seated with her laird as His Bride In
Ills Throne. As the Apostle writes,
"Know ye not that the saints shall
judge the world?"—I Corinthians 6:2.
Then follows a description of the
work of the Messianic Age: "Before
Him shall lie gathered all nations.”
All the people In the world, except
God’s holy nation. His peculiar people,
the Church of Christ, will be gathered
before the great white Throne of Dt
vine Justice. Mercy and Love. First
will come the living nations; and then
In their npi'oiiited lime the dead of all
nations will lie called to appear before
the Judgment Seat of Christ, there to
eeeive a fair. Impartial trial as lnd:
vlduats under the most favorable clr
timelatt-es. the outcome of which wtlt
lie a final sentence of worthiness O'
an worthiness of life everlasting.
Six thousand years ago. in Eden
Adam and his entire race were on trin!
for life But Adam failed, and wu
senfei-cd to death His posterity, sin
nine Bt »p4»n'’ed In him

and none of Uia race ure worthy of ev
erlasting life. All are sinners; “there
is none righteous, no, not one.” But
in due time God sent His Son to die
for Adam’s sin, in order that “as by a
man came death [of the entire human
race], by a man [Jesus] also will come
the resurrection of the dead [the entire
race of Adam]; for as all in Adam die.
even so all In Christ shall be made
alive”—"every man in his own order.”
-1 Corinthians 15:21. 22.
The first order to be made alive in
Christ is the Church, which has been
called out of the world, separated, be
gotten of the Holy Spirit. Thig class
pass their trial, their judgment, for
life or death everlasting In the present
time. Hence the worthy ones, those
whose characters ar& pleasing and ac
cep table to God. will be quite ready to
be the Bride of Messiah, joint-heirs
with Him in His Kingdom and His as
sociates in His work of judging the
world. He has promised that all who
are faithful shall sit with Him in His
Throne (Revelation 3:2l)—the very
Throne pictured in the parable undei
consideration—the Throne before which
all the nations, all people outside of
the Church, will be gathered.
General Description cf tha Judgment
Day.
The gathering of the world will b<
the result of knowledge. The Time oi
Trouble will lend on to great enlight
enment; al! the blind eyes will tx
opened, all the deaf eel’s unstopped
and the knowledge of the glory of Goii
will fill the whole earth as the waters
cover the sea. There will he some
however, who will resist this knowl
edge and will decline to accept Chris:
as their Mediator; this class will no
enter into this judgment, but after or
hundred years of resistance will be dr
stroyed.
Those who constitute the two elasse*
mentioned in the parable, the Paste
declared, are those who have accept.’
Christ’s terms and desire to be o:
Judgment, or trial, for life everlast
ing. This will include all that are ir
their graves; they will come forth, no
all at once, but gradually. Messiah'
Kingdom will exercise Us power air
disseminate the knowledge of God m
of the principles of righteousness, with
a view to encouraging, helping and u;
lifting all Ihe willing and obedient
All such may arise gradually out o
sin and death conditions—up out o
imperfection of mind arid body, u
out of immoral conduct—to tbe fr.
image of God, as possessed by Fatin’
Adam in the beginning.
The entire Millennial Age will he r
quired to bring this about. Righteous
ness will reign then, as Sin reign
now; that is to say. righteousness wi:
be in the ascendency, in the control
Then whoever sins will suffer prompt
ly. Hence all mankind will avoid si:>
and the world in general will be
grand place: "nothing shall hurt or do
stroy”; “the inhabitant shall not sn;
I am sick”; the curse shall be gr::
unlly 'rolled away, and there shall b
no more crying, no more sighing, in
more dying: the blessing of God v,,
prevail, bringing perfection. Surely i
will be a happy Day for humanity
and all who live throughout the thou
sand years will receive great blessing
Importance of Right Heart Condition
The Pastor then discussed the sub
Ject of punishment for sins commit*-ct
in this life. He showed that It will l>
equally as just for God to forgive t!r.
sins of the world for Christ’s sake u
it has been just for Him to forgive tin
sins of the Church for Christ’s sal,
If the one is just, so will,be the other:
for God is no respecter of persons, am.
Is equally as willing to forgive tin
eins of the wofld as the sins of tlr
Church, when the world repents an.i
turns from sin, accepting Christ a.-
their Redeemer.
This does not mean, however,. that
Justice will be ignored. In the case o ?
the Chureh, the sins of youth often
leave their scar as id sting to the end
of life; and so we may reasonably as
lume that certain stripes, or punish
ments, will he permitted to follow tin
world in just the same vmanner. It will
be from these weaknesses and frailtle.-
that they will be gradually raised ffj
to perfection during the blessed thou
aand years of Christ’s Klny'tfotn, whei
Satan will be bound and unittle to do
celve any one.
Some may reason that If eontcrmitv
to the Divine Law in an outward wav
will bring blessings to ail. there stil
may be an inward difference
people.' some coming heartily into ex
cord with the Father, and others
merely assuming an appearance of har
mony because this harmony will be the
way to perfection. Undoubtedly thi*
reasoning is correct. It is along this
very line that the parable under con
slderatlon teaches. Outwardly the
sheep class and the goat class will have
much the same appearance and de
meanor, except to the Judge, the King
who will read the heart and ultimate!.!
will manifest to all that there has been
a real heart difference between the two
c* -ses. all of whom will have been di
Lull for a thousand years, receiving
blessings from Messiah's Kingdom.
Character the Basis of Judgment.
Meantime each individual on Judg
ment vflll he making character. This
the Great Judge will fully appreciate,
and will rate the Individual either as
a sheep or as a goat All the sheep
clasa will thus be received at the right
hand of the great Jehovah: and all the
goat clasa will be rated as out of favor
with Him. even though all the while
they will be receiving the blessings of
the Millennial Kingdom nnd outward
ly rendering obedience to Its laws
Not until the close of the Millennium
will the decision of the Jndge be
manifested. Then both sheep and
goat* will show great surprise at His
decision.
To the sheep class the Judge will
aay. "Come ye P!e**ed of My Father

To the goat class He Will say, "De*-
part, ye accursed ones [doomed ones],
into everlasting punishment.” Grant
ed all the privileges, blessings and ex
periences of a thousand years of con
tact with righteousness, truth and the
Spirit of God, you indeed render an
outward obedience, but at heart you
have not come into harmony with God.
I cannot present you to the Father as
blameless and irreprovable. You must
be destroyed In the Second Death—
“everlasting destruction.” The penal
ty upon you is everlasting, because
there will be no further provision
made for your redemption or your res
urrection from this Second Deatfe,
You will be as though you had nev«»
been. You have failed utterly to ap
preciate the goodness of God and to
copy His character-likeness. Eternal
life is for those.only who have the Di
vine likeness and spirit.
Both classes were surprised at what
the King, the Judge, declared to be the
basis of His judgment. To the sheep
He said, "I was hungry, and ye gav*
Me meat; I was thirsty, and ye gave
Me drink: I was a stranger, and ye
took Me in; naked, and ye clothed Me:
I was sick, and ye visited Me; I was iu
prison, and ye came unto Me.” The
goat class. He declared, had failed to
meet these tests.
Both sheep and goats claimed to have
no knowledge of such experiences. Bnt
the answer was, Inasmuch as ye did it
unto one of the least of these, My
brethren, or did it not unto them, ye
did it, or did it not, unto Me.
The Resurrection of the World.
Then the Pastor explained who these
are respecting whom there will be a
test upon the sheep class and the goat
class, and how it is that there will be
sickness, poverty, hunger and prisons
during the Messianic Kingdom. With
the establishment of the Kingdom all
who come into harmony with it will
have the great privilege of doing some
thing to help others. The world is
blind and starved now, for want of
spiritual food and the anointing eye
salve of Truth. While tWj Millennial
blessings will be showerij^upon tuosfe
who accept the Lord’s terms, there will
be others who will need assistance.
Those who hate the Spirit of God, the
spirit ft love, will be glad to carry tbe
Heavenly Message of reconciliation to
all humanity, glad to apply tbe eye
salve to the blind, glad to unstop the
ears of the deaf, glad to help the sin
sick back into harmony with God, glad
to help them to cover their nakedness
•with Christ’s merit.
Those who take pleasure in this work
will thereby demonstrate that they have
God's Spirit and are co-laborers with
Him. All these will be the sheep. But
those who are careless respecting their
Vow. and merely enjoy tho Millennial
blessings themselves, will be of the
goat class and will thus mark them
selves as goats. Correspondingly they
will be out of favor with the King of
kings, their J udge.
The Prison-House of Death.
The prison referred to in the parable
is undoubtedly the great prison-house
of death, Into which approximately
twenty thousand millions already have
gone. All these are to come forth, not
all at once, but “every man in his own
order,” as the Scriptures declare. Only
the Chureh will be in the First Resur
rection. During the Millennium the
awakening from the sleep of death
will, we believe, come about by Divine
Tower, of course, but in answer to
prayer. Each family circle, as it can
prepare for another and another mem
ber, will be glad to do so, nnd will
make request for his return. Thus the
race will cotne out of the prison-house
In reverse order to that In which they
entered, aud will be acquainted with
their friends and relatives, who will
have prepared for them aud will Iden
tify them.
While the blessing of the Lord will
provide an abundance for all. never
theless we may snfely assume that the
firovlsion will be In the hands of their
iV-'lowa. It will be the sheep that will
be’ especially interested in those in the
greAt prison-house of death, and who
will Jpe praying for them and prepar
ing fiV them. By so engaging their
time at, <1 energy these sheep will be
manifes VRS a purpose, a will, in har
mony wl.’V that of the Creator. God
has willed \‘hat all In the graves shall
come forth C 8 the command of the Lord
Jesus; and th<V e in harmony with God
and Christ will V e co-laborers with God
.in accomplishing the work for which
Christ died. Whoever is not Interested
in that work will lnckln K ,n
Spirit; and this Is 1 exactly what U
charged against the gdv't class.
The King, hiving redA’tned the world
of mankind nnd having provided for
the resurrection of nil tljx redeemed,
counts them ns in a certain.sense rep
resenting Himself, as He strys In the
parable. IDs reproof to the gdCt class
Indicates that they were not reA'lf In

bad more or I ss of the spirit of s.?lfVkti

The Lord's provision, as the Apostil
point* out. is. "The gift of God is eter
nal life through Jesus Christ our Lard,’’
but "the wages of sin is death.”—Ro
mans fi:23.
