Nearly all Christian people have had thelr experlence with such ignorance, and we are glad to suppose that the Heavenly Father lald not the sin of such presumption to our charge, but rather sympathetically appreciated our interest In the heathen, although he must have deprecated our lack of reverence, o headiness, our high- minded ions of more than in finite wi We missle ur assumpt are saying mis-—-nome at a word agalnst id forelgn., Quite to the nti th at Christia wuld labor with heart and hand to do all In his power to - rify the Father 1 the Redeem id to enlighten his fellowmen we belleve every t, and the bl hh It secure ily, serving t | gen in orkers Together With God will for us, to get lato and the more will we bis ambassadors and repre wisdom of man Is h God, and the wisdom ’ abe be used ¢ geptetive foolishness wit 8 he ess with man, hence take the human stand w careful it should ake what the wenrch the will of the that Divine ord we n Is: t Seriptures, ay there ascertain the program, and be found In harmony 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 Great Klug, for the world of mankind-—for the world's de liverance from the bondage of sin and death, and thelr assistance back to harmony with God. Thus seeing, we will have patience In to the heathen, and strive now to make our own calling and election sure, and lay down our lives for the brethren In as sisting to bulld them up In the most holy faith, “until we all come to the measure of the stature of a man In Christ” great Mediator of the New Covenant, of which Jesus Is the Mead the respect the Converting the World. When will the world be converted? When will Christ ask for the heathen? When will the Father give them to him? How 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 preach ing of the good tidings. But his pro gram for the future age Is different | There are millions who have no ear to hear the preaching of the cross of Christ. There are millions who bave no eye of faith to see the glorious things of God. In fact, according to the Scriptures, only a “little flock” comparatively, ean be brought Into ac cord with the Lord under the cond! tions of the present time, because sin abounds, because death reigns, because Satan, the prince of this world, now works antagonistically in the hearts of the children of disobedience Hence it has pleased God to have a different method of dealing with the world of mankind In general from that which he adopted for dealing with the Church In this Age. In the next age foree will be used, and not merely | moral swasion, Force will be employed in putting down the reign of evil.

Thine arrows are sharp In the heart of the King's enemles; whereby the people fall under thee” (Psalm xlv, 3-5). Instead of the word “people” here, read the word “heathen” as in the original, and we have a picture of the conversion of the heathen as it will shortly be accomplished. We are not to suppose the Lord will ride upon a horse, nor that literal arrows will it. erally plerce the hearts of his enemies. We are to understand this plcture to signify our Lord's triumphal conquer. ing of the world, and that the arrows of truth which will go forth unto the whole world ill reach the hearts of men, and smite them down.

Hence it is urged, “Kiss the Bon, O ye kings of the earth; kiss the Son lest he be angry with you and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little” But while this to offer leniency, mercy these favors are conditional on the manner in which the Messianic King shall be received Other Scrip seem to Intimate that all the not only heathen but ecivi Hzed, will be found in violent opposi tion the heavenly Kingdom, and hence that all together they will be crushed as the vessels of a potter The Glorious Outcome. The Lord tells us that as the hear ens are higher than the earth, so are his ways higher than man's ways, and his 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 and heights and depths of love divine, all love excelling, as are 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.
