TALI. RIGHTS RESERVED.] BIBLE STUDI # CONDUCTED BY PASTOR RUSSELL. MESSIAH'S KINGDOM TO BE I INVISIBLE I The Lesson: Luke xvii. 20-37. I The Text.—"The Kingdom of God is in I your midst."—Ver&e 21. I The Pharisees heard of the claim that Jesus was the long-promised King, who would set up hi.s Messianic kingdom; and they derided him. They considered Jesus a deceiver. and his followers dupes. Our lesson tells how they attempted to expose what they supposed was a deception, thus to turn away the delusion of Jesus' followers. Therefore they asked him in public, when will God's kingdom come? Jpfi-as answered thnt God's kingdom would not come with observation; that when it would be established, people would not see whether it was here or there; for the Kingdom of God would be the power of God exerted everywhere in their midst. Our translation is faulty, though evidently not intentionally so, when it reads, "For, be- hold, the kingdom of God is within you. The translators, had they noticed carefully, would have guarded, against saying that the Kingdom of Gcd was within those Pharisees whom Jesus had designated hypocrites, whited sepulchres, etc. A closer examina- tion shows that the text wotikl better be translated, "The kingdom of God is in your midst." A kingdom is always represented by its king. Jesus. a.- the King, was present in their midst, but they did not recognise him. Similarly, throughout the Gospel Age. the Church of Christ, his "Body," has been un- discerned by the world. "The world knoweth. us not, even as it knew him not." Christ and the Church in the flesh have been only the kingdom class, prepared for investiture of authority in God's due time, which we Ihelieve is near. During the Millennium, the kingdom authority and powor of God will be exer- cised amongst men yet they will see it merely with the eyes of their understanding. Every one will understand that he who suf- fered has entered iuto his glory, and that the Church, his bride, is with him in glory, and that the Millennial blessing proceeds from them. "DAYS OF THE SOX OF MAN." I Turning to his disciples, Jesus said: "The days will come when ye shall desire to see one of. the days of the Son of Man, and ye shall not see it." This was astound- ing news to the faithful. Yet they were accustomed to hearing from the Master things which they could not understand. They took all these things figuratively, and wondered how Jesus could be the great King. and yet they not see him and his days. jesus continued, saying: "They shall say unto you, See here or, See tb ere! Go not :'fter hem. nor follow them for as the lightning, that ligliteneth out of one part under heaven and shineth unto another part under heaven, ,o shall also the Son of Man he in his day." This statement is better understood when v. e translate the Greek word brit/hf Û¡ining, instead of Iu'jhtnhuj, for our Lord evidently referred to the sun. which rises in the east and sets in the west. The Day of Christ is a thousand-year day. the Millennium, and our Lord's statement was one of the dark sayings of which Jesus said. "I have many things to tell you. but ve cannot bear them now," and promised that in due time the Holy Spirit would grant them enlighten- ment. This portion is now becoming clear to those of spiritual discernment. Then, that they inight gradually learn that these things, belonged to a distant time, Jesus explained that first he mu-st Miffcr many things and be rejected of that nation. Coming back to the signs of his presence, he declared: "A; it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be also in the day-; of the Son of Man." Then mankind\ ate, drank, married, built, honght, sowed, planted, as usual. These things arc not sisn. of -wickedness, but are mentioned to show us that there would be no outward sign to indicate to the world the time of Christ's Second Presence, when he would begin to set up his kingdom. Hera we have something definite, concrete 1. THE DELUGE AND SODOM'S I DESTRUCTION. Why introduce these two pictures-The Deluge and the destruction of Sodom—in conjunction, while talking of the establish- ment of Messiah's kingdom," which is to bless the world? The answer is that the ,iiiswer is that tl)e Bible everyw here foretells that Messiah's kingdom is to be established upon the wreck of our present institutions. It is this wreck that Jesus illustrated by the Deluge and the destruction of Sodom. His own presence preceding this "time of trou ble is to be unknown to the world until the trouble is precipitated. Emphasising the suddenness of the cala- mity, Jesus reminded us that on the same day that Lot went out of Sodom fire and brimstone rained down from heaven, and declared that thus it will be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed. The Greek text shows a difference between the ],at-oit.,ia. or Presence, of Christ, before the Time of Trouble, and the later Epiphania, or revealing. The description of the re- vealing of Christ is given in the words, "He sdiall be revealed in flaming fire" (2 Thess. i. 7-8). Indeed, that time of troublr is fre- quently described symbolically as a burning of the world—so much so that all the creeds of Christendom express the thought that the earth is to be burned. They overlook the fact that the heavens are to be burned also. In the symbolical usage of the Bible, the earth represents the social order of human affairs; the sea. the restless, discontented masses; the heavens, the ecclesiastical powers. St. Peter tells us that these will pass away with a great confusion, and that instead will come the new heavens and the new earth (2 Pet. iii. KM;}). The new heavens will be the new ecclesiastical society —the Church in glory, joint-heirs with Christ in his kingdom. The new ea.tth will be the new social order which Messiah's be the iiew-.? ill establish. kingdom will establish. SAINTS ON THE HOUSETOP. I Again recurring to his Second Coming, the Lord see-ms to assure us that all his faithful ones will die before the great trouble, the symbolic fire will consume pre- sent institutions. In figurative language he says that in that Day (of his Parulls;a, pre- sence, before his K/>i j>ha» in, or revealing) those on the housetop should not go down to take their goods out. We believe that the house represents the House of God, and those on the housetop represent the most saintly of God 's people. At that time such will realise the necessity for flight; and they are warned not to seek to save any of the stuff social privileges, hononr of men, some- times titles of small offices, such as deacon, vestryman, elder, minister, etc. Everything must be forsaken, else the test of that time will not be successfully passed. The field represents the world. Any of the Lord's people who have gone out into the world-who have left the church nomi- nal—are not to go back; but learning the true situation, they are to flee to the Lord from the field. In the flight from Sodom, Lot and his family were warned to make haste, and not even to look back. So the Lord's people now are not to look back at the things to be dissolved. Give them no thought. "Flee out of Babylon." "Deliver every man his own soul." "Lot's wife, disobeying, failed to escape. The Lord applies this illustra- tion to his people and urges that their flight be with a full renunciation of things pre- sent. Whoever shall seek to save his life must lose it. Whosoever will lose his life will thereby preserve it—gaining the ever- lasting life.

WILL IT LAST? LEDBURY CASE. I But will my cure last ? That is the anxious question of the unhappy kidney sufferer, the assuring word of this Ledbury resident, who has stayed cured for years, will be glad news indeed. On January 26th, 1902, Mr. T. Hill, of 16, Church Street, near the old Church, Ledbury, said :—" For eight years I was a martyr to kidney complaint. There used to be severe gnawing pains in the small of my back and after stooping I had to pull myself up again by catching hold of something. The water was irregular and I lost control. I had tried a great many medicines, but all to no purpose. Then I was advised to try Doan's backache kidney pills and I am pleased to say they acted on the kidneys at once. The pills have done me a wonderful amount of good the excretions are now natural, and the pain in my back has disappeared. (Signed) T. Hill SOn August 15th, 1913 —orcr eleven yeHr* ?<ter— Mr. Hill said:—"Although I wa? 8eventy-six years of age last June I enjoy good health, and am able to get about all right. I always recom- mend Doan's pills to any who complain of back- ache for they are a splendid medicine."

CRICKET CHAT. [By THE TYKE."] On Saturday last the weather was not over promising in the morning, as rain fell, but happily it cleared off, and local cricketers were able to proceed with their games. Ledbury second eleven were at home to West Malvern, and won by 139 runs. Col- wall were defeated, at home, by Worcester I Royal Grammar oSchool, and Eastnor easily defeated Forthampton. # Ledbury had a pretty useful second eleven out, and, winning the toss, Jim Smith and Hoult were the first pair of batsmen. Evans and Cooke being the bowlers. At 13 Hoult was sent back for eight, and at 21 Harry Smith was bowled by Cooke. Jim Smith helped Brown to carry the score to 42. when the left-hander was dismissed for 18, and with Howell and Brown associated, West Malvern had a bad time. The pair defied all the efforts of the bowlers to separate them until the total had reached 104. Brown subscribed 38, in which were five 4's, and Howell 31, including a like number of boundary strokes. Although Clarke and Sarlius were easily got rid of, the later batsmen caused some trouble, Kendrick making 16, and Corbett 15 (not out). With the score at 150 for 8 wickets the venture was declared closed. For West Malvern Cooke came out with the best bowling figures, with 4 for 39. Wil- son had 2 for 20, Evans 2 for 40, and Gardner (26), Simmons (16), and Price (3) did not meet with success. >< When West Malvern went in to bat they found Hoult and Jim Smith in form with the ball, and the innings, which was a mere procession, realised only 11. Four of the batsmen scored a couple each, two of them one each, and there was one bye. Hoult bad the remarkable figures of seven wickets for five runs, and Jim Smith had two for a like number of runs. West Mal vern bad a second knock, and made 22 for 7 wickets, Howell taking 3 wickets for 4 runs, Clarke 1 for 3, Drinkwater 2 for 0, Chadd 1 for 0, and Harry Smith 0 for 11. » The usual Wit-Mondav match between Eastnor and Mr W G Davis's XI, took place as usual on the Castle ground, and was productive of a good day's cricket, in which Eastnor were easily beaten. The scratch side was a prettey strong one, and ran up a big score of 271, Eastnor being weakened in attack by the absence of Court. In reply the homesters made 81, the margin in favour of the scratch team being 190 runs. Batting first Hayes and Hoult opened the venture for the scratch side, and the latter soon got off the mark, scoring at such ia fast pace that when the first wicket fell the score had reached 54, Hayes being run out for 11. Masefield, on joining Hoult, proved to be in good form, and at 89 Hoult was run out when within two of half a century, his innings including seven 4's. Howell left at 101 for 8, and at 119 Masefield was bowled by Winter for 33, including seven 4's. With Brown and Clarke associated there was a long stand, 72 runs being added before Clarke was sent back for 28, which included a 6 and three 4's. Brown stayed till 205 runs were on the board, of which be had subscribed 58, when he was bowled by Winter. His hits included nine 4's, two 3's, and a like number of 2's. ♦ Jim Smith and Harry Smith were next in partnership and they carried the score to 242, when the left-hander was bowled for 16. Then Harry Smith hit merrily away, and was still undefeated at the close with 38 to his credit, which included two 6's, a 4, two 3's and five 2's. The venture realised the big score of 271. Winter secured 5 wickets for 109 runs. and sent down no less than 31 overs, bowling at one end all the time. Browning bad 1 for 35, and Sansome 1 for 5, while Phillips (49), Howells (27), and Maddox (25) did not meet with success. • Eastnor opened their venture with Maddox and Mullins to the bowling of Hoult and Jim Smith, and they made a bad start, Mullins being caught by Brown off the slow bowler at 8 for half that number, and Crookes was bowled by Hoult at 12 for a duck." Maddox and Phillips retrieved the bad start somewhat by taking the score to 43, before Maddox was caught at the wicket off Hoult for 25, including three 4's, a 3 and four 2's. Phillips left at 61 for 23, this being the first time for three innings that he had been dismissed. Browning (13), Sarluis and Howells all left at 65, and the end soon came afterwards, the total being 81. Hoult secured 5 wickets for 43 runs, and Jim Smith 4 for 37. Tea was provided by Mrs Rowden. ♦ Colwall were at home to Worcester Royal Grammar School on Satuiday, and suffered defeat by 83 runs. Colwall had first knock, but early lost Sanderson. Dagger (10) and Giles (27) improved matters, but only Meakin (13) of the remainder got any runs, and the venture stopped short at 60. The cause of this was the fast bowling of Baker, one of the masters, w ho took 7 wickets for 16 runs, while Humpherson had 2 for 17. Sadler and Hemus were the first pair of batsmen for the school, and they paved the way for an easy victory by scoring 21 and 32 respectively, the Colwall total being eventually passed with but one wicket down. When stumps were drawn the School bad made 143 for nine wickets. Dagger took 3 wickets for 25 runs and Moss 4 for 39. Eastnor were at home to Perrystone Court on Saturday, and batting first ran up a score of 163 for five wickets. Court and Maddox opened, but before a run bad been scored Thornley bowled the Ledbury man, and Crookes filled the vacancy. A useful stand was made, 46 being added before Court was dismissed for 13. Then Pbillips came in and the Perrystone men bad a warm time. rhe younger batsman proved in fine form, and it was not until the score had reached 13 that Snell bowled Crookes for 63, in which were one 4, four 3's, and twelve 2's. Browning left two runs later, and Winter (12) at 158. With Mullins in the venture was declared closed at 163 for 5 wickets. Phillips was undefeated with 62 to bis credit, and his innings included a G, four 4's, five 3's and eight 2's. Tea was provided for all by Mr F Butler, after which Perrystone Court entered upon their attempt to save the game. Winter and Court were the bowlers, and after Snell had been sent back, bowled by Winter at 10, the fast bowler secured the wickets of Bellamy and Thornley without any addition to the total. With only a single added Court secured another wicket, and although Wilmot (10) and Lyndon (11) made a stand, it was of no avail, and the total stopped short at 34. Winter bowled remarkably well for his 6 wickets for 15 runs, and Court had 4 for 19. There were no less than six ducks on the side.

I HEREFORD ELECTRICITY UNDER- TAKING. Proposed Extension of the Works. The Mayor (Mr G B Greenland1) presided on Tuesday at a meeting of Hereford Town Council. The Electric Light Committee presented n report showing a surplus on the year's working of £ 106, as against a deficit last year of 1453. It was stated by Alderman kvi,llls that the concern had now turned the corner. Mr Dymond, chairman of the committee, said he was optimistic as to the future, and added that the ectleulations made three or four years ago as to the amount of revenue to be derived now bad worked out to within about X5 of the estimate. There was a scheme for extending the machinery at a. cost of £ 530, building a new chimney at £ 500, and constructing new mains at a cost of C240. The income from the sale of electricity and from meter rents showed all increase of £7H:, and the net profit, after providing for interest, was C2,492, as compared with £ 1,894 in the previous year. In the debate an extension of the works was fore-shadowed, The Gas Committee recommended a reduction of 2d per 1,000 cubic feet to penny- in-the-slot meter holders, making a discount of lOd per 1,000 from the gross cljarge in lieu of 8d as hitherto.—This was agreed to.
