Om' l ..ord's \"0 1'<1 In )Iatt. 1!l: 20 By Arthur S. Boolh-Clibborn, London,

England. "Ye meet every day indications tbat

..groat numbers of God's cbildren who cou1d not be induced in former years to giYe serious attention to the Question ot our Lord's return, and that same who even derided It, aro now thoroughly a­TOused, and have become enquirers con­<'erning this truth .

A combination of circumstances, ev­idently providential, compelled the writ­er, som.e twenty years ago, when lnbor. ing in the Gospel on the continent ot Europe, to take up the study at pro­phecy. Th e result was that he became a (lonvinced Pre-Millennia list, and has remained so s ince . On all hands there were being constantly torced upon him f"vidences that the present cataclysm wttuld occur about the very time In which it did. He came to the conclusion that it would be

Th~ Penn1ttm"t.:t "Tribulation" (the Jesser); that it would be muC'h more awtul than even most students at prophecy seemed to apprehend; and that it would be followed by a time of false peace, when mankind would exclaim as with one voice, "Eureka! 'Ve ha\'e got it at last! \Ve have made peace; this war has ended wars: mankind has rC'­formed itselt. has become of age, and abandoned the to1lies ot youth. The world is secure to us."

Laboring amongst the most revolu­tiQnary classes, in tlH' two Continental languages which at present embody re­s pecti .... ely tho highest expression of au­tocracy on the one hand, and of clemo­cracy on the other; studying Europe, at times from behind prison bars, or wben being conducted under armed guard a­c ross a frontier, the writer was able to forecast something at the greatnesR of the upheaval which would leave the nrea oecupied formerly by t he Roman Ern­»i1'e without a single crowned head, and under the

Tell C'roWlll('.'),'1; "Horn~" at Powel' doscribed in Revelation 12.

One could see the elements of the g reat coming social dis in tegration at work. There was a special advantage, as B. band of workers in the Gospel, in being a.lways between the upper and the 'llether mills tone. On the one hand the assailants paid by Rome or th ~ Nihilist

who had "drnwn the lot" to "do th€' work." or else the violent, raging mob: and on the other a government forbid­ding "meetings, public or pri .... ate." "Below," those who feel they are doing someone service in knocking you down: and .. abo .... e .. those who feel it their duty to pick you up and lock you up for hav­ing been knockt'<l down, anp th us "hav­ing caused a disturbance!" It is a deep­ly instructh·e ex perience to be far years ]~ltlCC(t in the " "I"Ong tor having dono rught. It is the true Christians normal pOSition in this taUen world, whero a ll is inverted, and where unregenerate man and apostate Christianity alwars "reads" everything upside down. ,\Ve therefore never "read" the world's affairs-its

Fifteen years-' work in the revolutiOn­ary Quarters of I'nrls (with a central hall Il ea l' the Crund Opera, where fore­gathered the more "cultivated" of in­fidels, "i!ldifferents," and Romanisls), and in many mission centers all o\'er the land (of the present "Allies" o[ Evan­gelical England), affo rd ed an opportun­ity for the study in tbe midst of pract­ical Gospel work. of the problems which have finally Issued in this Eu ropean cat­aclysm. This was followed by sim ilar experiences in other lands, each and all ot which produced lines ot thought which finally met. as by a natural pro­cess , in dlspt:: nsatlonal and Second Ad­vent truth. They unveiled the "blessed hope"-the purifying "hope"-ot 1 Jno. 3: 3; tho Hope set on Him-Christ. as 'The " 'orld's Soon He turning Landlord.

To th e writer it wns a most glorious, inspiring, a nd blessed revelation, tho key to all that was transpiring both in

the domnin ot "rell~lon" and that ot pOlitic!'.

He does not believe in "fixing <1at£'s," nor tha t prophecy was meant to ma.ke prophets; but he docs bclJeve tbat a lime was to come when the Lord's people would "see" such t{'rrlble even to tran­~piring 011 earth, would "know" tbat they were those propheSied tor that 'Very period, and 1;0 clearly portended their Lord's Parousia (though not yet His Epiphany), that they would "Iook up." knowing tha.t their "redemption draw th nigh." Luke 21:28.

His words, "'Vhen ye see these thing8 bt'gin to come to pass," seemed to Impl y tbat His poople would not be on earll. to sec them come to pass, the rapture ot the saints having meanwhile intervened. It may be any day now! This Is tbe present conviction of vast numbers o t believers in aB evangelical denomina­tions over the entire globe.

Living tor many years successively in the two small (at present neutral) lands of Switzerland and Holland. nnd then Ia.ter in Belgium, further converging Hnes came to center on these great truths . until they became at g reat im­portance to the writer.

Deing in Holland at the time of the Peace Conference at 1899. he attonded the last, (the "State") sitting. Jle then became convinced that 1 Thess. 5: 3 wa.a (i n the first stage) prC'cursory of the lesser Tribulation, embodied in that very scene. The naUons seemed to be build ­ing in the land of dykef'l, a dyke ot str aw. to keep out the ocean of tribulation and woe. whiC'h threatened to overthrow and !iubmerge the world at the end at H~ G 000 years of sin.

Today there is no tlm(' to lose. Things will probably get worSe and worse for several years moro. T h e I lfwd may nOw oom e ally mOnl(>nt. Let us labor cease­leflsly to arouse the careless among Christians and espeCially those w h ORe language still somewhat resembles that of the world's scotfers, (2 Pet. 3: 3).

Every honest contribution. however lowly, may help. Many, like th e write-r, Mood in tho~e days almo~t ('ntir'el y "]00('

a s regards these truths in the circles fa which they labored. It may now streng!.hen tbe tnlth of some to know that th is was 80, and also that the va!it majority of us have never found cause to cbange our conviction, but have ra th­er seen even ts adding ever fresh con­firmation year by year.

But to return . One was able, in th(' a bove-described period, to trace the ex­traordinary and protracted oJ}poolt1on encountered, to the fierce host1!ity en-

1ertained towa.rds the Gospel by the two main divisions ot society. These. at the same tlmo, were hostile betwoon themselves. and their struggles would ultlmately

Smash Europe up and sot It on tire. The one was tho So­efal Democratic Party. the other embod­ied tbe various parties dubbed "rencUon­ary" by their opponents.. The latter still pa.tronlzed a lifeless fOTm ot Chrls­tlanlty, either as Roman Catholic, Greek Orthodox. or Protestant. All were, or had been, "State" churches. All WOTt)

associated with some form of militarist Caesarism.

clay and iron. They are seen at the ond. time-namely, In tho teet of the groat Image of Gentile monarchy, which Neb­uchadnezzar (the "head" of the Gentile body) saw In a dream.

One was able to study on the Contin­ent tho truo Jnwardnc8s at those two parties. Tbe first Is essentially Inlldel and Bible rejecting, the second an Im­l)6netrable nnd stodgy mass of formal-18m, sacerdotalJsm, and superstition. Be­twoon these was riSing an element more dangerous still to tho Gospel, namely

Tho Tolstoyan Utopia of world peace without the blood of HIs <)rooa (Col. 1: 20) . It was later on to belp brlng about the Illusory and InJur­ious Hague Peace Conference, under the 1)atronage of the Czar of R ussla as Prince of Peace. This scbem~amaz­i ng to Btate--met with the hopeful 'COuntenance and support of great num ... bers of Evangelicals In all lands. and of many ·'Protestant" denominations and organizations. One could clearly soo that In the tilsappolnted hopes which the coming great war would create there

·'Would be a violent reaction in the churches or all lands towards a militar­ism and navaHsm of a more extreme kind than ever, ond also tbat the old Toistoyan sontlment would remain as a sediment in the Social Democratic, or "clay," section of society, and produce -as it nOw does-the anti-BIble "pac­ifism" advocated by large sections of tbe Labor Parly In Great Brltaln and the United States or AmerIca.

This Is not to be confounded with a "'conscientious objection" to war based, eo to speak. on n. previous engngement -with Christ in n truly missionary. 0. truly 'Witnessing or martyr spirit. These two kinds of peace principles differ as do night and day. The one is entirely in­dividual, and based on solitary, person~ al union with Christ as a member of HIs very Body; the other Is-wherever as-1iOciated with poUtfcs and human hopes in any form-a corporate. semi-revolu­tIonary thing, and governments cannot help dealing with It as such. The true conscientious objector is the sort of OhrlsUan who Is gladly willing to go un­armed among savage heathen, tar be~ yond the "protecting" reach of a slx~ inch sbell. He Is equally ready to dls-1>6088 with 0.11 "protection" In "civil­ized" lands. ThIs may appear to be a dlgr~lon, but Its practlcal bearIng upon

the subject in hand will appear later on. The Challenge to Every CluistJan

to a final choice between Christ and the world awaits him In some hundred-per­cent. form, sooner or later, before the rapture; and the result will setUe his status in tbe coming kIngdom of our Lord.

Working In the foundations of so­ciety, so to speak, on tho ConUnent of Europe, while also much In contact with go\'ernmenta and all the questions of the day which centered upon man's hopes for the reformatton of his world and the final establishing of universal peace; one was brougbt into a position where it was supremely necessary to be able to "separate the precious from the worth. less," Jer. 16:19, and to get the mInd ot the Lord upon all such matters. There are definite promises that God's people shall not be left In the dark on thing. vital to them in their service to Him, in order that it may be maintained in Scriptural purity. WIthout this safe­guard. it could become mixed even wIth the most subtle and specious forms of worldliness, their attendant false hopes and

Bllnd-nlley Scheme.. and schemlngs. Daniel knew in his day. It was needful to him, and he was will­ing to pay the price. It was atso de~ clared, through him, that In "the time of the end,"-the crucial times in which we now live-lfthe wise" should under-

But it i8 also stated that nono or the wicked (tbe worldly) sball understand. How true or the present hour! Have not large portions of the Church of ChrIst on earth been Ih~ing in a. fool's Paradiso, at ease in Zion. and imagining that all was going along wonderfully in this "best of worlds." tOYIng with the philosophies of the day. the pet human­isms of the unregenerate, and lhelr sys­tems Of social reformation? But even In a circle within this circle--even a­mong consecrated belJevers-has there not been a state of semi-s1umber at a time when the Bridegroom of the true Church was soon to appear for the mar­riage feast? Thank God that now at last there are on all hands signs of an awakening. Tbere is being developed a vivid sense of tho tragedy on the one hand, and the glory on the other, soon to break forth upon the midnight hour of our world. To a few faithful shep­herds, keeping watch over their flocks in thIs ~e night of the age, there will be a breaking open of the skies, and a DIvine vIsItation.

umllllllUllllllUUlIumm Questions and Answers 1'1'1,11,11"",;,11"""1,,111 By E . N . Ben. 336 W. Pacific St., Springfield. Mo.

G04. 'VUI those who live in their nat .. uraJ bodies during the l'tWlennium reign dle and be resurrected in the thull judg~ mcnt?

Ans. Yes, unless they are fortunate enough to be alive at the close of the Millennium. If so, they will, I believe, be changed just as such wHI be when the Lord comes. If they are alive and un­saved, at its cloS8, they will join the re­volt of Satan when he Is loosed, and be killed and resurrected unto judgment. Men will not be immortal during the MillennIum. but under those Ideal con­ditions Borne may live the whole thous­and years.

503. How could Paul, as said in Rom. 7: 25, with tlle mind servo the law of God, but with the nesh serTe the Jaw 01 sin?

Ans. Nc>te it is the "law" he is serv­ing, not grace, not the Spirit. ThIs was Paul's condition under the "law" be­fore be was made a complete Dew crea­ture under grace and filled wIth and led by the Spirit. In prinCiple It Is the condition of any enlightened person who with tbe mind assents to the will of GOd and is giving God such mental service, but who has not yet yielded the whole heart to God nnd 80 believed In tbe power ot the blood as to be delivered. The "law of sin" is so written in tbe members of such a one that the fleslt yields to It, until he sees and take. de­liverance through Christ.

506. Though one has obeyed nil tlle knolVn will 01 God ruul boon glor~ lously baptized with the SpIrit, It God shows him Inter somet.hlnl!:' not made right and tells him to make it right, shon1d he not obcy?

Ans. Surely he shou ld . But be sure it is the voice of God and not the voice of tbe accuser. A thing once settled with God ns God directs is never again brought up by the Lord. It it comes up after that, Satan brings it up.

507. 'Vas the .l\posUe Peter an un­learned man?

Ans. Yes, all tbe Twelve were un­educated in a worIdly sense, but were so taught by Jesus and then by the SpirIt that tbey became highly educated In the things of God. Paul was the only Apostle who was educated in the great schools of his day. Even Jesus was not trained in these schools. His Father in Heaven taugbt Him.

508. Did Job el'er sin in his affliction? Ans. Yes. See God's answer to Job in

40:1-2, and Job's answer in verse 3. Then after the. Lord revealed Himself to Job see Job's confession in 42:1-6. Yet Job's rriends were still more wrong than Job, and Job was not guilty of what they cbarged him with. Exter­nally Job was rIghteous and upright, but a vision of the Lord made him ahhor himself wIthin. God requIred hIs friend. all to repent and let Job pray tor them,. Job 42: 7-9.

His resurrection. If He bad, the gospe l might have boon confined to a few fiBber folks and others who lived round: about G"alilee. No, He wanted us to have the benefit of it. and so H e con~­

mtssioned His disciples to go into all the world and preach the gospel to el'CI'Y

C'reu.turc. and that is why we are enJoy­Ing this great salvation today. Those words "to every creature" are still there and He expects just as much, it not more, from His discip les today. Ours is the commission to get this great Pen­tecostal gospel, the gospel at the blood and the water. of the rushing, mighty wind and the tongue of fi re, to the last person on the earth. If we cannot go ourselves we can all pray the Lord at t he harvest to thrust forth laborers ard we can help su pport some that have gone. The Evangel readers have done nobJy in sending in nearly $30,000.00 fo r our Pentecostal missionaries during the past twelve months, but let us all stand togeth er In prayer and faith for $100,000.00 during the coming twelve.

The Spirit of God is the Director of all missionary operations. It was He who said to the church at Antiocll, "Sep­arate m.e Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have ('ailed them ," and cnused them to be sent forth of the church, li e it wa s who guided these early missionaries to exact Iy th e place where He wanted them to servo. Tn Ph illil)i there WOre some praying women . :--.J'o wonder that the ll oly Ghost forbade Puul and Sj)a~ to preach the \Vord in Asia and suffe red th~m not to go into Rithynia! That little company , hungry for what they knew not, that was wont to gathe r every abO'ath at the rivC'rside in that j\'l acedonian port. prayed th e gos­pel to Europe, and their own hea rts were the excellent so il in which the good seed of the gospel was first planted and there has been a mighty harvest of souls in Europe these past nineteen centuries. And as we a r e faith ful in our 1)fayer life thero is a record harvest to come from Europe's shores yet. Listen to the fol­low in g accou nt from one who has given his life to work amongst the soldier bors. "Yesterday. a real Pentecostal vis itation.

A.\IOSGST THE SOJJDJER llOYS AT FT. STEVESS. OnE.

It seems 80 wonderful that the dear Lord should have choseD U8 to go out in this way and tell lhe sweet story to these poor "boys." Our hearts grow sick at Urnes for the hardness ot men's hearts. Surely the time is vcry shorl. Occasionally we find souls who are hun­gry for God, and accept 'Ch rist as thei!' Savior.

One Jewish soldier boy who accepted Christ had a good many hard lcsts. When he would steal away to go to meetings, his companions ("bunkies") would walch when he returned and would greet him with expressions such as these. "Hello. Deacon." "Have yOH

been to visit your friend Jesus Chrh;t again?" etc. God gave him grace to smile. TIle power of God was on him so strongly at times that he was prostrated under it. He is now on his way to France.

Another soldier came to our house onoSundayafternoon. He was a strang­er, and after Singing a few songs, we knelt in prayer. D.- went over to the young man and asked him if he wanted salvaUon and he said , "That is what I earne for." Praise God! ~ God bas opened up the way so we can go to the army hospital to sing for the sick soldiers. Yes, the harvest is great. Sometimes. when the forces of the on­flmy ba"e appeared to outnumber our strength, I have been discouraged, but B.- always reminds me of E lij ah's ser­vant who had to have the Lord open his eyes 80 that he could see the Hosts of Angels who were on our side. Praise be unto God which giveth us the victory through Jesus Christ our lJOrd.

I must tell you about one lUan who was a. laborer of about forty-five years of age. He came to the meetings and God convicted him of sin. He came many times before he could get courage to come to the altar-but he came. He rlld not gain strength to testify to the salvation of his soul, but we prayed earnestly for him. We learned that he was a tobacco fiend and thought he could not use tobacco and be a Christian. Again we called on God for delivera.nce tor this sou l. Recent1y he had a severe accident In which he almost had his back broken. He was placed in a plaster east, and in two weeks he was able to walk on crutcbes. I went to see him )Londay. and just as I was about to leave. he cal1ed me and said, "Do you know I'm 110t smoking any more?" I teld him I was not surprised, for we bad prayed earnestly for his del1verance from the habit. I asked him it he knew that he was delivered through the power of God, and be said, "It must be, for I know I could not do it of myself." This brother went on to say that he was out on the veranda and most of the boys were smoking around him and he had no desire for the thing. Praise God for­ever more.

PlefU3e pray tor this dear Bout that God wtll strengthen him. r know that He has spared his lite for His glory, as ordinarily It would have killed a man to have such an accident. He bad not

Oh, beloved, if you could see the earnestness and attention of these thous­ands. many of whom Illay soon meet God. a mighty cry would go up to the throne on their behalf.

Plea~e remember my dear husbnnd, children and grandchildren in the 1 -lands.

Assemblies of God waR dedicated to the Triune God, July 21sl. The morning looking like rain, the saints from a dis­tance could not be present, but the Lord gave us a good day any way, even made up for it in the week's meetings follow­ing, where He mightily manifested Ills power. From the first night the altar was fu1l of seekers, a number were re­claimed, four saved and five received the baplism of the Holy Ghost as in Acts 2: 4.

Perfect harmony, Christian lo\'e and peace prevails, and about every attendant is earnestly seek­ing the promise of the Father. 'Ve have flfleen baptized sain la, and roany pros­pecti.ves. A good feeling prevails to­wards Pentecost throughout the neigh· borhood (with ample persecution) so that we are looking for the Lord to do great things for His glory here.

In connection with this work, I am working an untouched field 80 miles square, west of hero. A worker and I just returned from a 500 mile auto trip, and in 12 days left one saved, and not less than twenty seeking their Pente­cost; scattering tracts, also organized one assembly with about thirty attend­ants.

Please let all who read this PRAY that God may suon pour out His Spirit upon that newly formed hungry body of believers.-Pastor E. G. Blook.
