feature here to -day.
We report one of
his addresses from

day have superior

ble study—the gen-
eral ability to read.
convenient Bibles,
better lights. more comfortable quar-
ters, and more leisui Hence Bible
students to -day see new light in texts
long eogtstdeied obscure. His text
to -day was of this character. It gives
Jesus the title. "Everlasting Father,"
or the Father who gives everlasting
lite. At one time it seemed to con-
tradict other Scriptures; for instance,
the declaration, "The God and Father
Of our Lord Jeins Christ hath begot-
ten us"; "My Father and your
Father; My God and you: God," and
other texts. But now in the clearer
light the contradiction vanishes.
Jehovah God is the Father or Life-
i;ivcr to the Church; but that .leans,
is to be the Father or "Life -giver to
the world. "He shall be called the
Everlasting Father and tbe Prince of
Peace." Not until t'te end of this
Gospel Age will He begin His Mes-
sianic reign. as "King of kings and
Lord of lords." The earth is a re-
bellious province, under a reign of
sin and death. The early part of
Messiah's reign will be one, of con-
quering institutions contrary to the
Divine arrangement. Not until after
the battle of the great Day. "Armaged-
don," will He have the title Prince
of Peaoe"; and thereafter men shall
learn war no more.
