PASTOR RUSSELL'S VIEWS. , Churches of All Denominations and the Civil Powers of Earth Are About to Unite In Common Cause?Powerful Influence Preparing For the Battle of Armageddon?A Reign of Anarchy Will Be the Result of the Warfare Until The Messiah Takes Control. Brooklyn, N. Y., Nov. 3. ? T h e Brooklyn Academy of Music was crowded to the lim it today to hear Pastor Russell's discourse on the "Battle of Arma geddon." His text was: "He gathered them together unto a place called 'n the Hebrew tong Armageddo n.'' (Revelation xvi, 1G.) The speaker said: Armageddon iu the Hebrew signifies the "Hill of Megiddo," or Mount of De struction It was famous as a battle field lu Old Testament times. The Lord has seen fit to ussoclate the name Armageddon, with the great con troversy between Truth and Error, right and wrong, God and Mammon, with which this age will close, perish, and the New Age of Messiah's glory be ushered in. He has purposely used highly symbolical figures of speech iu the last book of \he Bible, evidently with a view to hiding certain impor tant truths until the due time for their revealment But even In the due time, the Bible assures us, "None of the wicked sbull understand" (Daniel xli. 9, 10)?none who are out of heart har mony with God?but only the wise of His people?the "wise virgin" class of the Master's parable. I have long avoided presentation of my understanding of our text and tts context. I take it up now by request and because I believe it is due time to be understood. I disclaim any special Inspiration. In some particulars my views agree with those of other Bible students, and lu other respects they disagree. Each hearer must use his own judgment, do his own Bible study, and reach his own conclusions. Kindly remember that I am not re sponsible for the figures of speech used by the Lord. My interpretations do in deed constitute a terrible arraignment of institutions which we have all rever enced and which embrace good people, of good words and good works. God's saintly people in these various institu tions. being comparatively few, are ignored when systems as a whole are dealt with in prophecy. The Dragon, Beast, Falsa Prophet. Our context tells us that three Im pure spirits (teachings) will go forth from the mouths of the Dragon, the Beast and the False Prophet, and these three will be in accord, and symbolical ly fW.?plnoo n va rpnrpspntiv! bv Ijr v.WHi.uv. " "I "frogs." These three doctrines are to have a mighty influence throughout the civilized earth. They are to gather the kings and their armies to the great Battle of Armageddon. _ The ecclesiastical kings iind princes, and their retinues of clergy and faith ful adherents, will be gathered in solid phalanx?Protestant and Catholic. The kings and captains of industry, and as many as can be influenced by them, will be gathered to the same side. The political kings and princes, with all their henchmen and retainers, will fol low in line on the same side. The financial kings and merchant princes, and all whom they can influence hy the most gigantic power ever yet exercis ed in the world, will join the same side, according to this prophecy. These "doctrines of demons," repre sented by the "frogs," will lead many noble people in this great army to as sume an attitude quite contrary to their preference. For a time the wheels of liberty and progress will be turned backward and medieval re straints will be considered necessary for self-preservation?for the mainte nance of the present order of things. In giving this Interpretation, it is necessary for us to Indicate what is symbolized by the Dragon, the Beast, and the False Prophet. Bible students of nearly all denominations agree with us that the "Dragon" of Revelation represents the purely Civil Power. Protestant Interpreters generally agree that the "Beast like a leopard" (Reve lation xili, 2) represents the Papacy. But fewer still, we fear, will be ready to support our view that Protestantism Is the "Image of the Beast" (Revelation xlll, 15) in our context given another name, "the False Prophet" We urge no oue to accept our interpretation, nor shall we think hard of any who reruse it. we win nenner sianuer nor otherwise injure them now, nor threat en them with eternal torture. They have the same right to their views that I have, and the same right to make them known to others. And I. for one, will be very glad to consider any thing which opponents may set forth as their Interpretations of our text. "Unclean Spirits Like Frogs." The symbolisms of Scripture, right ly understood, are always forceful. When the Holy Spirit used a "frog" to symbolically represent certain London Largely Built on Marsh.

M Boston Pastor Russell Pictures the Release of Deaths Prisoners and Shows From Scripture That In tl< Triumphal Procession Four Grades Will Participate. Roston, Mass., May 10.?Pastor ltussell spoke bc-re today in the Hos tnn Thpntre. In one of his two dis courses he used the following text: "When He ascend ed up on high, lie led a multitude ol captives." ? Ephe sinus iv, 8. _ This grand ex pression respecting the glorious outcome of the Savior's work is quoted by the Apostle Paul froth the Psalms (lxviii, 18). The fig ure thus thrust before our mental eye is that of a great Conqueror whose vic tory is being heralded. With the Ro mans we know that it was a custom that generals returning from wars were-granted what were termed "Tri umphs"?or triumphal processions. Let us permit our mental eye to fensl upon the scene of our text. Jesus, in fulfilment of the Divine Program, had left the heavenly condition and de scended to earth, taking a bondman's form or nature in order "that- He. by the fcrace of God. might taste death for every man;" that He might rescue Adam afn6 his race from the death con ditiou ?under Divinp sentence and un der the power of Satan. Therefore, the Redeemer counted not His life precious to Ilim. but freely de flvered Himself up. and died, "the Just for the unjust," that He might briiii) mankind back into harmony with God His humiliation ended in death, but His triumph began when God raised Him from the dead by His own power, and set Him at the right hand of His own Majesty?"far above angels, principalities and powers and every name that is mimed." Leading Forth the Captives. With most conquerors, in olden times, the captives were made slaves Not so, however, will be the result of Jesus' victory. First of all in the pro cession are the saints?"ffte Church 0/ the First-born." Then will come a com pany, more numerous, but less beroic "a great multitude," uncrowned, but frith "palm branches," not antitypical j Priests, but antitypical Levites, asso ciates and servants of the Itoyal Priesthood, the Bride. Then will follow (Hebrews xl, 38-40i other faithful ones of the past, the Ancient Worthies. The Prophet speaks also of the "rebellious house." The classes previously specified were not rebellious, but gladly and willingly for sook all to do the will of the Father and to attaiu the liberty of sous of God, as the flrst-frults of the triumph of the Lamb. * But during the thousand years of Christ's reign He will lead forth the "rebellious house"?the world of man kind?not all of them, we may be sure, for some, the Scriptures positively de clare, will die the Second Death, be cause, after realizing their deliverance, they will love sin and will therefore be destroyed as enemies of God. "He Gave Gifts Unto Men." In this prophetic reference to oar Lord's ascension It is declared, not only that lie would lead forth a multi tude of captives, granting them free dom. liberty, blessings, but also that He would confer gifts. The Apostle proceeds to explain the matter and tells us what gifts are meant He says, "And He gave some Apostles, and some prophets, and some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers." It behooves us to no tice that the Apostle does not intimate that Jesus gave to some Methodism, to others Presbyteriauism, and to oth ers Roman Catholicism, etc. No, when we held such thoughts it was because we failed to see, first, that there Is but the "one Church of the Living God, whose names are written in heaven," and second, that that one Church is not any of the various sects and par ties, but includes the saintly in all of these, "For the Lord knoweth them that are His." Noting carefully the Apostle's argu ment we perceive that the Master did not give these gifts for the conversion of the world. He does specify, how ever, what they were for, namely, "for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the Body of Christ"?the Church, the Bride. Is it supposable that the Apostle erred in this statement and that the fact Is the reverse?that these gifts were provided for the conversion of the world, and that the Apostle thoroughly misunderstand the matter? No! We are to be taught by the Apos tles, and may be sure that there is no mistake. The Lord from time to time has rais ed up evangelists, pnstors and teachers for this glorious service of preparing the "chaste virgin," the Church, to be the Bride in glory, but the Apostolic office, as represented In The Twelve, specially provided by the Father, has continued and needs no replenishment. We still have their Instructions as fuily as the early Church, "that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly fur alshed unto every good work." Where Foliage Comes From.
