R.sseD [of Millennial Dawn Farne] r^ ix BY REV. J. J. ROSS. Pastor of St. James Street Baptist Church Hamilton, Ont, In this leaflet I am to tell you something about the so called "Pastor" C. T. Russell, the founder and chief executive of "Millennial Dawnism," Though the name of Russel is quite 'familiar, very little is known about the man himself. Nothing is known of his parentage nor of his early boyhood. We first hear of him selling shirts in .Alleghany, Pa., having inherited this business nom his father. He lectured on religious subjects from time to time in various halls and churches, becoming known as the crank preacher. He got a considerable following of the baser sort and sold out the five men's furnishing stores which he owned, thenceforth devoting his time to teachingand preaching his peculiar religious doctrines and giviug out that he himself was some great one.He never attended thehigber schools of learning, knows comparativelynothing of philosophy, systema tic or historical theology, and is totally ignorant of thedead languages, and yet he is successful in making his disciples • believe that the most dif ilenit passages in the Old Testament_and the Book of the Revelation are as simple as a sunbeam to him. "Pastor" Russell was never ordained and has no church affiliation. He would not be given a place in the pulpit of any evangelical church on the American continent or any other country where h3 and his religious views are known.' By thousandshe is believed to be a religions fakir of the worst type, who goes about like the Magus of Samaria enriching himself at the expense of the ignorant. Years ago he gave himself the title of "Pastor" and from this many have inferred that be was a properlyapproved minister of the gospel. In 1870 he married Miss Marie F. Ackley, who divorced him a few years ago on the ground of cruelty and of having wrong relations with numerous other women. In court she proved improprieties between her husband and one Rose Ball. Mrs. Russell is now living at Avalan, Pa. "Pastor" Russell was in Toronto a few weeks ago and announced him self as the head and "President" of the so-called' "International Bible Students' Association," with head office in London, England. When he first began his propaganda his headquarters were in Alleghany, Pa. In course of time he was successful in building up an elaborate publishing establishment ib Pittsburg, which he called "Zion's Watch Tower." In a worldly way things went well with him for a time. Then he gave the name ''Millennial Dawn" to his publications. Then stories of the divorce proceedings got into circulation about him and his business suffered. Wishing to frustrate the verdict of the court iu giving his wife alimony, he changed the name of his publications to "Studies in the Scriptures" and transferred the head office to Brooklyn, N.Y., where it is at the Pres- ent time. Since taking this new location the institution is known as "The Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society," "The London and Brooklyn Tabernacles," "The People's Pulpit,'' and now the "International Bible Students' Association." It comes out that these names separately and together are appellations bestowed by Russell upon himself and his follow- ers. By the name "International Bible Students Association'-' the public is deceived into thinking thattheinstitution is international in extent, that the governments of the world are behind it, and that it is made up of accredited representatives off all the denominations and theological col- leges, when in fact the name stands only for the followers of one man, and not a scholar at that. That appellation is therefore a misnomer. Its purpose and use it to deceive the public,; The opinion of that organization (if it be an organization) is the opinion of one man. At the present time "The Brooklyn. Eagle" has its talents in Russell, and shows him to he a most undesirable citizen. Many other papers, both secular and sacred, on both sides of the line, are compelling him to stand forth in the limelight in his true colors. Ey 'The Brooklyn Eagle' he stands charged with defrauding his wife of her dower in trust, with having his 1 name sensationally connected with those of numerous other women, with giving himself out as an interdenominationlist, when in fact he is con- nected with none, but opposed to all, with publishing himself as giving addresses to, great crowds to important places where he has no± spoken at all, with seeking to dupe certain.:- ministers into supporting daring trans- ii actions, with beicg illegallyconnected with lead, asphalt and turpentineco bushel,iwithwith influencing theor esickandto bdying to make te sold "Miracle Wheat" eir a wills iat n60 a his favor, with engineering the sale of a property worth $35;000 for $50, for the purpose of defrauding another. These are sins no man would care to have charged against him, and yet they are publicly accredited to this "Pastor" Russell, the "President' of the so called 'International. Bible Students' Association," that worid•wide.society that spoke the other day with such authority on the subject of eschatology, stating that there was no hell for the sinful. Does it not look es if the wish were parent to the thought in this case? These and other charges have been made against" this false teacher and shepherd, and remain unanswered. He is an eccen- tric individual and advertises on the billboards in a most grotesque fashion. Judging from his advertisements of himself, many do not think him normal, and some are persuaded that he is self -deceived. Russell has published a set of books, hound in six volumes, including about two thousand pages, which he now calls "Studies in the Scriptures." The title is misleading and is intended to deceive the Christian public. The teaching of these books subverts the faith ot Christians of all evan- gelical denominations and substitutes for the truth as it is in Christ the destructive doctrines of oneman, who is neither a`scholar nor a theologian. The whole- system ot Russellism is anti -rational, antiscientific, anti -Bibli- cal. ants Ohristian, and a deplorable perversion of the Gospel of God's dear Son. There is nothing in the English speaking world to compare with the system presented in the books for error, The great heretical leaders of the early centuries were not more daring, more-biasphmous or more des- tructive than is the author of these hooks. They contradict almost every fundamental, of evangelical Christian faith by a bold denial of the proper deity, incarnation, resurrection, ascension and high priestly intercession of Jesus Christ. Russell also denies the Second Advent of Christ in the -i Biblical senses of that event,' the; personality, work and deity ot the Moly Spirit,. the Trinity and the atonement made through the death and risen life of Christ, He teaches that the Second Advent of Christ took place in 1374, that those who sleep in Christ experienced their resurrection in 1875, and that the present order of things will terminate in October, 1914, He also makes hold: to affirm, the Bible to the contrary, that "eternal life" is mere existence; being exclusively a quantity, not a'quality of life; that it is not a present, possession on;faith, but a future inheritance conditioned upon good conduct and character here. Moreover, Russell teaches, and af- firms' in these books that there is no conscious future punishment for sin, and, though inconsistent, after death some time„ semeivhere, there will be a second chance area, ar--other offer of salvation. - Thus we see from a careful and unprejudiced analysis of the teachings of the Millennial Dawn Books, issued by the self-styled "Pastor" Russell, that the system of error which he represents is a combination of Uni- tarianism, Universalism, Restorationism,Second Probationism, Sweden- borgianism and Annihilationism, - Every reader is warned against this false teacher and his Leaching as: dangerous in. the extreme. It is safer to stand by •the Lord Jesus than by any human teacher. It is safer to take our `system of truth from the Bible than from the Watch Tower. It is safer to take the creeds of Christendom than the vagaries of one man, See Matt, 7:1 ; 1 John 4: 1. nessisesesessmseresnesimassamosesonsolustirleszeorn Ontario Cities to Gain by Redistribution Plan Bill Wilt Probably.be in- troduced When Pravin • dal lionise Mees, Mater- laity Altering Ridings Mall anrcLEmpire, Monday 1While the legislative sess'ioin ifs- several mouths away, membeits of the Ontario Goveijnanenk are, it is understood, giving tentative con- sidlepiatiolni to a redistribution( of the Tidings of thti province (with'a view to bring in in redistribution bill when) the: 'House m.eebs'.

A. vivid illustration of the power o mere words over human beings once brought to the attention es imam people by Francisque Sarver. After the wreck of the'Bourgognt many passengers were found doatinl aro' 0 with life preservers on. Ther life preservers were fatsened upon th bodies, but round the middle insteat of under the arms, and the greate weight of the upper part of the boa; had tipped the head under water an the person of course was inevitabl drowned. Now 1t appears that the greater n ber of the persons so drowned we French. The French term OCT life pr server is ceinture de sauvetage, or "1 1 saving belt." This word ceinture su gests to the mind in its moments disorder and unreadiness, such as great catastrophe brings, the idea putting on a belt, and as a belt is p round the waist and nowhere else frightened person instinctively adios the life preserver close about the hi The result is that as soon as t person so provided falls into the wat his body tips over, with the heavi' ,part downward, and the head is pdun ed beneath the surface. The word "belt," therefore, was t 'cause of the loss of many lives in tl !Bourgogne disaster. Sarcey aceordin y proposed to counteract the fatal feet of the 'Trench word by renami ;the article and calling It a brassie which is a kind of waist, and by brie ing the word bras, or arm, to mind:. teach people to put a life preserver just underneath the arms.—Chic',; Record -Herald.
