Some Facts
About The Self -Styled
` Pas,er 4 Charles T. 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.

the .shifting of population since the

he has no equal: Beginning life as a
journalist on a few pennies or pounds,
he quickly distanced even the most

owns something like forty'publica-

t uses well, and a phenomenal power,
which, as a rule, it is admitted, he
wields with wisdom, Every journal
that he controls is a goo reptesenta-

The people wanted to preserve it as a
souvenir of the great International
Exhibition of '51' the first World's
Fair, and as a playgronnd for the peo-
ple. All sorts of projects were set
afoot, culminating in a Mansion
House fund, which failed, In despair,
as the fatal dav drew near, the Lord
Mayor appealed to the London T:me 1
to come to the fescue. The request
was complied with and in a few days
or Hours, as the result of a simple ap-
peal, the fund was complete. Nearly
five hundred thousand dollars was
wantodand it came.
A successful man in any walk of life
is apt to become and generally does be
come-on object of some envy and
jealousy. A successful journalist is
sure of calumny. Lord Northclffe
gets his share of spite and spleen but
as a sensible man he goes on his way
heedless of the poisoned shafts, trust-
ing to the common sense of the peep's
to attribute to his critics the right
motives. Canadian journalists recog-
nize in Lord Northcliffe a man of
wonderful initiative, inexhaustible
energy, a generous philanthropy, and
pure patriotism,
