Mr. Ruesell’s @laim to the title “Pastor” is somewhat ferent from the ordinary claim; either it was a- - Russell himself, or given him by his followers; it w ¢ study or because he had received or- dination in any regular’ Ap-; 8 mp he was @ man of fair. educa- ty, He began his spécial religious work in Pittsburgh; later on he moy- ed to Brooklyn, and there completed the pile ig "that have brought him into notice. Through the columns of the “Watch Tower,” one o pub- lications, through his Studies ine the Scriptures, and through the I.B.S.A. which h® founded, and through the ie use of modern advertising thods, his teachings have become fairly well known. It is not our purpose to sketch any incidents in connection with his life. He passed away a few years ago while on a trip through Texas. It is with his teachings we are immediate- ly concerned. It is not our purpose either, with- t any reserve, to denounce his teachings. It is very probable that he has led many people to study the Bible more than they otherwise would. It also probable that through his writings, some have been led into a right relationship to God. If these results have in @ measure been realized we can all rejoice. here is no doubt’also that he has done»good in drawing attention to the prophetic element in the Bible. We have all too frequently passed over those remarkable prophesies of Daniel, Paul, John, and especially of our Lord Jesus Christ. No doubt this is because we h ve been more interested in the present than in the future. We have contended that if we lived right in the present there would be nothing to fear in the fut- ure. And yet we ought to be interest- ed in the future. It is because Pastor Russell has attempted to.explain in ° =] | thought tion and of more than ordinary abili-|. a comprehensive way the “Plan of the of that he has won the inter-! pall of many and the approval “of | so ‘Having said this, we believe we or of Russellism, If Pastor Russell is right, then a great dea! that has passed for Christian teaching and doctrine is wro If, on the other hand, orthodox Christianity is right, then Russellism is a deceptive sys- tem, holding out hopes that can ne- ver be realized. It is impossible to be- lieve that God would allow euch great saints as Lainie Luther, Baer, Wesley, Fin Spurgeon, oody, to mislead Saceenits by false doetriioe through the centuries, and then at this late date to correct them by this moderr teacher. Surely thq' life, labors and achievements of each | of these great men indicate that God! was with them. And what we say of these men can also be said of thous- ands of earnest Christian men and women today. Let it be said once for all-that no true minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ deserves for one moment to mislead those who listen to his teaching. His one aim is to study carefully and interpret eorrectly o great truths he finds in God's Word. Aftera carat study of Russellism I have comg to the conclusion that this system of doctrine, as a whole. cannot be accepted by pe who earnestly seek to ky the truth They are — great itticatties that stand in the way: 1. Russellism dishonors God. 2 Russellism discredits the life and en | of Jesus Christ. 3 sseliism ee valetatar grate the Bib and R lays ,. great rightly upon - love, . ing kindness bu to ‘ proper eerptianie ‘to othe err ‘or to His righteousness. r God's love is holy love. The th thought of the holiness of God underlies the whole Bibie. The entire Mosaic system ie built upon and around this central truth. God enanar look lightly upon sin, His very being Eeoniis at of sin. This is called the “wrath of God.” And the wrath o God is mentioned directly in the Bibs} . le far more frequently than His love: The fearful charac nature and man’s sin Is ierealan in the case of Jesus.

Let us never forget that God’s laws are etrengthened, like our national aws, by certain prescribed penalties. f it-were not for these penalties our laws would receive scant attention or respect. In a short time without them our country would become a hotbed of anarchy, vice and crim The same is true with the laws of God. If it were not for the penalties reine ad to these laws they would be broken with impunity. = thie were all God would seem to be v lax or very injust in the exheution of his laws.

According to Pastor Russell be- fore _— came into the world he ated angel, the arch-angel Michael: hile on earth he was only a perfect human person, nothing more. When he died on the cross he suffered absolute destruction or an- nihilation. His explanation as to how Christ lives now as a spirit be- ing is hard to understand. Not only does Russellism thus dis- honor the essential Diety of Jesus and bodily resurrection, it also dis- credits bewial plain rag of his teach- ing 8, was very ene ad definite in His sermons and parables. en hie parables needed explanation he gave it. He used lan- guage we all can understand and He used language correctly. Take, for instance, his teaching concerning hell. The word accurately — hell is found twelve times e New Testament, and in eleven of the twelve times it is used by our Lord Himself. And the word so used never mé@ans-the grave, nor does hades ever mean the grave, but the place of departed spirits. Not only did Jesus use the word hell, but he used words of awful import—weep- ing and wailing and gnashing of teeth. If Jesus did not say what He meant, why did He not say what He meant?

As « matter of fact he testified under oath that he knew nothing of either language, and yet with the aid of a Greek and Hebrew lexicon he at- tempts to correct our translation of the Bible. As you know the Testament was originally written in Greek and the Old Testament in.He- ew. Our revised version of the Bi- ble, completed a number of years a- go, is as accurate a translation as competent British and American} scholars could make. For Pastor Rus- sell, ignorant of elther Greek or He- brew, to attempt any translations of the Bible, would be as sensible for a high school student, ignorant of Latin, to attempt a translation of a selection of Latin proge. * To master Greek and Hebrew so as to translate correctly, with ail the helps availebdle, t a life time of earnest study in these languages.
