At a meeting of the striking mem-
bers of the Brotherhood of Railroad
Trainmen held Friday morning in the
Metropolitan hotel, the strike against
the Fort Worth Belt railway was
called off by a unanimous vote. The
men decided they would rather call
off the strike than to continue it
since it had resolved itself into a con-
test between themselves and the mem-
bers of another organization, the con-
testing union being the Switchmen’s
Union of North America.
As a result of his investigations S.
ognized the promise upon which this
hope is based?
God Foresaw the Present.
Tbs is the pitiable condition of
many of God’s true children; for they
are merely babes in Christ, using the
milk of the Word. They have need of
the strong meat of God’s promises, as
the Apostle speaks of it, that they may
be “strong in the Lord and the power
of his might;” that they might have on
the whole armour of God—helmet,
breastplate, sandals, sword and shield
—and be able to quench the fiery darts
of the Wicked One; able also to help
the weaker ones in this day when the
Adversary is assaulting the Word of
God, the citadel of the truth, with vari-
ous infidel arguments in the hands and
mouths of those who profess to be min-
isters of the Word.
Need I quote the promise, the one so
repeatedly referred to in the apostolic
writings, the one which is the basis or
anchorage for our souls?
The Apostle Paul referred to this
very promise, declaring that the Seed
of Abraham mentioned therein is
Christ. All Christians agree to this,
although they have not distinctively
and properly associated it with the
declarations of the promise. But the
Apostle makes clear to us that in say-
ing that Christ is the Seed of Abra-
ham, he had in mind not only the Lord
Jesus as the Head of the Body, the
Head of the Christ, but also the over-
coming saints of this Gospel Age as the
Body of Christ. This he distinctly
states in many places, for instance
Galatians iii, 16-29. Here he declares
the matter expressly, saying: “If ye be
Christ’s. then are ye Abraham’s Seed,
and heirs according to the promise.”
“The Seed of Abraham” is the Gos-
pel Church, with her Head, the Lord
Jesus; as the Apostle states again say-
ing: “We, brethren, as Isaac was
(typified by Isaac), are the children
of promise” (Galatians iv, 28). It fol-
lows that the Seed of Abraham men-
tioned in the promise is not complete
and will not be until the full close of
this Gospel Age—the harvest time of
which we believe we are now in.
But what a wonderful thought is in-
volved in this plain interpretation of
the Divine Word! It is big with hope
for Spiritual Israel, the Spiritual Seed,
and no less, it means a blessing for the
natural seed, fleshly Israel. and ulti-
mately the millennial bessings to all
the families of the earth. Let us ex-
amine these three hopes: The hopes for
these three classes center in this great
Oath-Bound Covenant. Let us thus
obtain what the Apostle tells us was the
Lord’s intention for us, namely, strong
consolation—strong encouragement.
All through the prophecies the Lord
foretold the sufferings of Christ and
the glories that should follow; never-
theless the glories to follow have been
granted much more space in the Di-
vine Revelation than the sufferings of
the present time. The implication sug-
gested by the Apostle is that when the
glories of the future shall be realized,
the trials and sufferings and difficul-
ties of the present time will be found
not worthy to be compared; but those
glories and blessings have been veiled
from our mental vision, and instead a
great pall hangs over the future in the
minds of many of the Lord’s people.
Distort Simple Language.
Many of us have learned to distort
the simple language of God’s Word in
such a manner as to cause us anguish
and distress. For instance, “destroy,”
“perish.” “die,” “second death.” “ever-
lasting destruction.” etc., terms used
by the Lord to represent the ultimate,
complete annihilation of those who
will not come into harmony with him
after a full opportunity is granted
them, are interpreted to mean the re-
verse of what they say—life, preserva-
tion in torture, etc.
It is high time, deal- friends, that
we should learn that God’s Book is
not the foundation of these horrible
nightmares which have afflicted us.
and which in the past hindered many
of us from a proper love and rever-
ence of our Creator. It is high time
that we should take the explanation
which the Apostle gives us of this
matter and of all the errors which as-
sail poor humanity respecting the fu-
ture. He says: “The god of this world
has blinded the minds of them that
believe not, lest the glorious light of
immediate successor, Caprivi, lasted
only four years—from 1890 to 1894;
while “Uncle Chlodvig" Hohenlohe
ran the imperial affairs after that till
1900, when he was succeeded by Bu-
low, who had come from Rome to the
foreign office in 1897, so that he had
already had a spell of 12 years’ hard
work in the Wilhelmstrasse.
For his services in connection with
the Spanish agreement about the Car-
Men’s
Watertown, N. Y., Aug. 29.—The is-
sues of life, death and a hereafter are
all in the hand or power of the Lord. He
took counsel of none of us, and holds
himself fully responsible, declaring
that all of his purposes shall be ac-
complished, and that his Word that
has gone forth shall not return to
him void, but shall accomplish that
which he pleases (Isaiah Iv, 10, 11).
He owed us nothing in the begin-
ning, and will be under no obligations
to us in the end. We are his debtors
for all that is profitable or enjoyable.
He is a rich King and Father and is
able and willing to do exceedingly
abundantly for us, his creatures—more
than we could have asked or thought.
But he has his own way for doing
this, which. in the end, will be seen
to be the best way. “His ways are
in clouds and darkness,” writes the
prophet; and the poet answers, yes,
“God moves in a mysterious way
His wonders to perform.”
The Gift of God.
Eternal life is “the gift of God” for
all of his creatures who will take it
on his terms; and for all others he
declares, “The wages of sin is death”
—the blotting out of life. And who
cannot see that this arrangement to
destroy all who will not use life in ac-
cord with the Divine will, is really a
mercy? To perpetuate life opposed to
his will and law of righteousness
would be a disgrace to God and an
injury to the holy as well as to the
unholy. God gave our race life in
Adam, but, as he had foreseen, they
lost it by disobedience and came under
the penalty—death. As he purposed
before the foundation of the world, he
in due time sent his Son to be “The
Lamb of God which taketh away the
sin of the world.” As such Jesus
died, “the just for the unjust,” “tast-
ing death for every man” (Hebrews
ii, 9). This glorious purpose God set
forth to Father Abraham in his oath-
bound covenant, of which the Apostle
writes in Hebrews vi, 13-20.
The context shows distinctly that
the Apostles and the early Church
drew comfort from the Oath-Bound
Covenant, and clearly implies that this
same comfort belongs to every true
Christian down to the end of this age
—to every member of the Body of
Christ. The Apostle’s words imply
that God’s promise and oath were in-
tended more for us than for Abraham
—more for our comfort than for his.
Note the Apostle’s words: “That by
two immutable things (two unalterable
things), in which it was impossible for
God to lie, we (the Gospel Church)
might have a strong consolation, (we)
who have fled for refuge (to Christ),
to lay hold upon the hope set before
us.”
Assurance of Almighty’s Oath.
Doubtless Abraham and all of his
family, Israel after the flesh, drew a
certain amount of blessing and en-
couragement from this Covenant or
promise and the oath of the Almighty,
which doubly sealed it, which gave
double assurance of its certainty of
accomplishment; but the Apostle in-
timates in the words quoted, that
God’s special design in giving that
Covenant and in binding it solemnly
with an oath, was to encourage Spirit-
ual Israel—to give us a firm founda-
tion for faith.
God well knew that, although 3.000
years from his own standpoint would
be but a brief space, “as a watch in
the night,” nevertheless to us the time
would appear long, and the strain upon
faith would be severe; hence the posi-
tive statement and the still more de-
liberate oath that bound it. We can-
not but wonder at such condescension
upon the part of the great Creator—
that he would stoop to his fallen crea-
tures and, above all, that he should
condescend to give his oath on the
subject.
Our Lord Jesus was the great heir
of the Abrahamic promise, and the
faithful of his consecrated people of
this Gospel Age are declared to be his
joint-heirs in that promise, which is
not yet fulfilled. For its fulfillment,
not only the Church is waiting, as the
Bride or fellow-members of the Body
of Christ, to be participants with the
Lord in the glories implied in the
promise, but additionally, the whole
creation (the entire human family) is
groaning and travailing in pain to-
gether waiting for the great fulfillment
of that oath-bound promise or cove-
nant (Romans viii, 19-23).
Those who follow the Apostle’s argu-
ment and realize that we as Christians
are still waiting for the fulfillment of
this promise, will be anxious to know
what are the terms, of this Covenant
which is the hope of the world, the
hope of the Church, and the object of
so much solicitude and care on the
part of God, in that he would promise
and then back his word with an oath.
We answer that every Christian
should know what this promise is.
since it lies at the very foundation of
every Christian hope.
How can this hope be an anchor to
pur soul in all the storms and trials
and difficulties of life, in all the op-
position of the world, the flesh and rhe
Adversary, if we do not know what
the hope is, if we have not even rec-
Millennial Kingdom which is to be
God’s agency or channel for bringing
about the promised blessings—the
blessings of all the families of the
earth.
The great blessing of forgiveness of
sins which are past, and even the
blessing of being awakened from the
sleep of death, would profit mankind
but little, if the arrangements of that
future time—the Millennial Age—were
not on such a scale as to permit a
thorough recovery from present men-
E. Heberling, first vice president of
the Switchmens Union of North
America, who was called to this city
and arrived Wednesday, made the fol-
towing statement.
“I found on my arrival that the
company had entered into a contract
with the Switchmen’s Union to cover
the working conditions of its termin
als, July 23rd, and that August 7th,
representatives of the Brotherhood of
Railway Trainmen on the Fort Worth
Belt railway tried to secure a con-
tract for their organization. I asked
Mr. King, the general manager, why
| he. gave a contract to the Switchmen’s
I Union in preference to the Brother-
I hood of Railway Trainmen, and his
reply was, that he did not employ
any brakemen or conductors, and that
he made the contract with the organ-
ization that represented the class of
his employes.
“Heretofore there had never been
any agreement or contract with this
company or any organization or body
of men covering this branch of the
service and my position is that a con-
tract made between this union and
the corporation shall be carried out
according to the provisions of the con-
tract. The Brotherhood of Railway
Trainmen asked me to repudiate our
contract and call the strike to give
the contract to them. The contract
provided for standard wages and bet-
tered the condition of the Switchmen
that existed prior to its enactment.
The Brotherhood of Railway Train-
men claimed that no contract had,
been made previous to their calling
the strike, but I have a copy of the
contract in my hands and know where-
of I speak.”
A. F. Whitney, vice president of the
Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen,
stated last night that the strike was
called off because they did not wish
to clash with their brother union men.
This will give members of the Train-
men an opportunity to go back to
work and it is understood that some
of them have already gone back to
their old positions.—Fort Worth Ga-
zette.

Hence we are rejoiced to learn that
in that time Satan will be bound,
every evil influence and every unfavor-
able condition will be brought under
restraint, and the favor of God through
the knowledge of God will be turned
upon the people—“The knowledge of
the Lord shall fill the whole earth as
the waters cover the great deep."
Blessing, aye, favor upon favor, bless-
ing upon blessing, is the Lord’s ar-
rangement and provision! All shall
know him from the least unto the
greatest, and none shall need to say
to bis neighbor or his brother, “Know
thou the Lord?” (Isaiah xi. 9; Jeremiah
xxxi. 34.)
The prophets spoke repeatedly of
these blessings due to the world in
the future. Mark how Joel tells that,
as during this Gospel Age, the Lord
pours out his spirit upon his servants
and hand-maidens, so after these days,
in the Millennial Age, he will pour out
his spirit upon all flesh. There will
be world-wide blessing through the
knowledge of the Truth. Mark how
Moses, the prophet, spoke of these
coming blessings, and told how God
would raise up a greater Lawgiver
than himself, a greater Teacher, a bet-
ter Mediator, and, under the better
Covenant of the Lord, would bring
blessings world-wide! Mark again
how he represents the atonement for
the sins of the whole world in the
Atonement Day sacrificial arrange-
ments! Mark how again he typifically
foretold the blessings of the Millennial
Age. representing it in Israel’s “Year
of Jubilee,” in which every man went
free and every possession was return-
ed to its original ownership, thus rep-
resenting the blessings of the future,
man’s release from the servitude of
sin and Satan, and the return to him
of all that was lost through Adam.
Isaiah, Jeremiah, Hosea, Micah, have
spoken of these coming times, so that
the Apostle Peter, pointing to the fu-
ture, could truthfully declare that the
coming times of restitution of all
things have been spoken by the mouth
of all the holy prophets since the
world began (Acts iii, 19-21).
Hype For Jews and Others.
The second class to be blessed under
this Abrahamic Covenant is fleshly Is-
rael. We are not forgetting that the
Jews were a stiff-necked and rebellious
people; that they slew the prophets
and stoned the Lord’s ministers and
caused the crucifixion of our Redeem-

er. Nevertheless, the Scriptures clear-
ly hold forth that after they have had
a period of chastisement, which they
have been undergoing as a nation since
our Lord’s crucifixion, and after Spirit-
ual Israel shall have been glorified in
the Kingdom, then a blessing from the
Lord will come upon natural Israel;
they shall be saved or recovered from
their blindness, and, as the Prophet
declares, they shall look upon him
whom they have pierced and shall
mourn for him—because the eyes of
their understanding shall be opened.
We rejoice, too, that the promise is
clear and distinct that the Lord will
pour upon them the “spirit of prayer
and of supplication” (Zechariah xii.
10). See also Romans xi, 25-23.
But if God is to have mercy upon
the natural Israelite, whom he de-
clares to have been stiff-necked and
hard-hearted and rebellious, would it
surprise us that the Divine, benevolent
intention should be to bless others
than the Jews—others who had not in
the past the favors and privileges of
this favored nation, and whose course,
therefore, was less in opposition to the
light? It should not surprise us. And
so we find in this great Oath-Bound
Covenant a blessing for all nations—
all peoples.
Poor, Imperfect Creatures.

Do not misapprehend us. We are

would be utterly out of harmony with
their surroundings and require to be

inconsistent view we leave to those
who are now claiming that the heathen
will be saved in their ignorance. We
stand by the Word of God that there
is no present salvation without faith
in Christ Jesus, and that the heathen
and the imbeciles have neither part
nor lot in the salvation of the present
time. We stand by the Scriptures
which say that salvation at the present
