UNSCRIPTURAL VIEWS OF GOD'S KINGDOM

The Jews in Christ's Time Were Looking for a Temporal Kingdom in This World—Christ Did Not Meet Their Views, and Was Crucified by Them—Men Making a Similar Mistake To-Day

THE Jewish church at the time of Christ's first advent stumbled and went headlong to its ruin. Nothing contributed more to this than the Jews' incorrect views concerning the kingdom of Christ. They were expecting a Messiah to come and establish a temporal dominion, and deliver them from the Roman yoke. And because Christ did not appear in harmony with their false and unscriptural views, they rejected Him. The time when He will establish His kingdom is at His second coming. This is clearly presented in Scripture. There is great danger that many living in this time will make a mistake over this question of the kingdom, that will be as fatal as was the error of the Jews anciently.
In both this week's paper and next, Mr. Porter will address himself to this subject of the time when the kingdom is to be established. This week's paper mentions some of the organizations that are working with such great enthusiasm under the inspiration of the same kind of false hopes as those anciently held by the Jews. In next week's paper, some of the scriptures will be more fully considered in which the Bible teaching in regard to the kingdom of God will be presented. EDITOR.
SINCE his apostasy, Satan has been at war with the kingdom of God. He has sought to subvert it by inducing its subjects to accept false conceptions regarding it. He effected the ruin of the world in the beginning of the erroneous view that it was better for subjects of the kingdom of God that they have a knowledge of evil instead of a knowledge of good only, as God originally planned.
Satan wrecked ancient Israel by diverting them from the plan for the old-covenant kingdom, which was salvation by means of pardon through "the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world," to salvation by works.

HOW SATAN DID IT

He sought to subvert the apostolic church by leading it into the mistaken idea that the kingdom of glory would be restored at Christ's first advent. He so far succeeded in ensnaring the early disciples with that notion that when the Master was "speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God," just before His ascension, "they asked of Him, saying, Lord, wilt Thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?" Acts 1:3, 6. He had before declared that "My kingdom is not of this world." He now answered their question by His ascension to heaven. As He ascended, two shining angels from His kingdom of glory said: "Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen Him go into heaven." Verse 11.

BLINDER THAN THEY OF OLD

One who fails to see the import of this angelic announcement, is blinder than the disciples of old. It was Christ's answer to their question about establishing again an earthly kingdom. He would never establish an earthly kingdom until they should see Him "so come in like manner" as He was then seen ascending.
They had cried lustily, "Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest," when Christ, riding upon a beast, had made His triumphal entry into Jerusalem just before His crucifixion. They thought He was then taking the throne of earthly dominion. His rebuke to their wrong views at that time was His crucifixion.
How Satan rejoices when he sees the professed church of Christ seduced, by his deceptions, into false ideas of the establishment of the kingdom of Christ!

NATIONAL RELIGIOUS REFORM ATTEMPTED

In 1863 a council of eleven churches convened at the town of Xenia, Ohio, for a prayer-meeting, with the purpose of bettering the state of religion. This was certainly a very laudable means of accomplishing a most lofty object. But before the council concluded, Satan, ever alert to divert every good movement from its legitimate sphere of influence, side-tracked this very worthy council, making it a movement to force Christian conduct and the enthronement of Christ as ruler of nations.

MISGUIDED EFFORTS

As the result of this church council, a society was organized January 27, 1864, at Allegheny, Pennsylvania, to be known as "The National Reform Association." Its object, as stated in its constitution, was: "To secure such an amendment to the Constitution of the United States as will declare the nation's allegiance to Jesus Christ, and its acceptance of the moral laws of the Christian religion, and so indicate that this is a Christian nation, and place all the Christian laws, institutions, and usages of our government on an undeniable legal basis in the fundamental law of the land."
From its inception, it labored untiringly to compel Sunday observance and to secure the recognition of the name of God in the Constitution of the United States. Later, the noble W. C. T. U. organization was seduced into supporting this most unchristian movement. The late Miss Frances Willard, when president of the W. C. T. U., thus stated the reason for their association's enlisting in the movement:
"The Woman's Christian Temperance Union, local, state, national, and world-wide, has one vital, organic thought, one all-absorbing purpose, one undying enthusiasm, and that is that Christ shall be this world's king,—yea, verily, THIS WORLD'S KING in its realm of cause and effect,—king of its courts, its camps, its commerce,—king of its colleges and cloisters,—king of its customs and its constitutions. . . . The kingdom of Christ must enter the realm of law through the gateway of politics. . . . We pray Heaven to give them [the political parties] no rest . . . until they shall . . . swear an oath of allegiance to Christ in politics, and march in one great army up to the polls to worship God."—President's annual address in convention, Nashville, 1887.
This was a repetition of the false conception that it was necessary to take Christ by force and make Him king of an earthly dominion. It is surprising how willing modern disciples of Christ are to accept that false view of the kingdom of God which was so summarily repudiated by Christ Himself, when He was here on earth.

A CONFEDERATION OF PROTESTANT CHURCHES

The most imposing fraud ever foisted upon any people has been reserved by Satan for the last generation before the second advent of Christ. Before Christ's first advent, Satan had deluded the Jews into believing that Christ was to come as this world's king. They therefore rejected Him because He did not come as they desired. Satan is now planning as sweeping a delusion for the Christian world just before the second advent. And the pity of it is, the Christian world to-day is falling into Satan's snare as readily as the Jews did prior to the first advent.
In November, 1905, there met in New York City the greatest and most significant church council ever convened in America. Its objects, as stated in its plan of federation, were "to bring the Christian bodies of America into harmonious service for Christ and the world"; "to secure a larger combined influence for the churches of Christ in all matters affecting the moral and social conditions of the people, so as to promote the application of the law of Christ in every relation of human life"; "to correct such social evils as gambling, the liquor traffic, and Sabbath desecration." Thirty-two Protestant denominations, representing twenty millions of people, joined in this federation movement.

THE CARDINAL FAVORED IT

Father McLane, representing Cardinal Gibbons, of the Catholic Church, said, speaking by invitation of the chairman: "All I can say is that Cardinal Gibbons is heartily in favor of any movement, or any combination, that will help toward the proper observance of the sabbath. . . . And certainly you will find that the Catholic clergy will be shoulder to shoulder in any rule or order in regard to the proper observance of the Lord's day."
Dr. Dickey said: "It is our province, in the name of our supreme King, and seeking the good of mankind, to ask rulers to respect the code of our kingdom. This confederation will compel an audience, and it will speak with power, if it will put aside its differences, and make its agreement its argument."

A SUPREME COURT JUSTICE FAVORED IT

Justice Brewer, of the United States Supreme Court, said: "A federation without creedal expression or denominational control will exert a mighty Christian power. It will make possible the throwing of the whole compact power of the united church solidly on the side of right and justice. Such a power, wielded in righteousness, would redeem New York, reform Philadelphia, and make Chicago clean. That power, exerted upon the nation, would lift it at once to a higher plane. I am sure that the influence of the federated churches upon the nation would make it that there should be no more war, nor preparation for war. The commission of Sir Walter Raleigh, the compact in the Mayflower and Colonial acts, prove that this is a Christian nation."

THE PHILADELPHIA CONFERENCE

The next meeting of this confederated council was held in Philadelphia, December 1-8, 1909. The Philadelphia council was regarded as the most representative gathering in the history of Protestant Christianity in America. Among those in attendance were "more than thirty bishops, many presidents of universities and colleges, some of the most noted collegians and preachers in the country, officers in mission boards and other departments of church work, and a large number of laymen of prominence." Among the laymen were prominent governors of states, who participated in the program.

'CIVIC RIGHTEOUSNESS' AND 'OVERLAPPING'

Among the themes considered and approved were such topics as "Civic Righteousness," "To Avoid the Two Great Faults of Protestantism, Overlapping and Overlooking," "To Effect an Organization That Will Prevent the Establishment and Maintenance of Too Many Protestant Churches in a Given Locality," and "To Perfect a System as Thorough and Exact as the Parish System of the Roman Catholic Church." The World's Mission Conference held in Edinburgh in 1910 followed the same trend in its work.

WORLD'S CHRISTIAN CITIZENSHIP CONFERENCE

The World's Christian Citizenship Conference held in Portland, Oregon, June 29 to July 6, 1913, followed the same program as the other great Protestant councils. R. M. Downie, of Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania, struck the key-note of the convention in the introduction to his address, in the statement: "The principal theme of this great conference that is meeting in this city is the kingdom of Christ. That is the center of our program. The central statement of this conference is to make that kingdom eminent and dominant in the affairs of men. In other words, to realize that prayer which Christ taught His disciples to pray, 'Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.' That is the principal purpose of this great conference. And every item of this magnificent program that has been provided for us relates in some way more nearly or more remotely to that one theme, that one purpose."

POLITICAL OBJECTS OF THE MOVEMENT

The program of the Christian Citizenship Convention officially states its object as follows: "The object and inspiration of all effort is the establishment of the kingdom of God. In the Christian's conception, this kingdom may mean much more than a divine human society on earth, but it can never mean anything less. This kingdom is inclusive of all life in all of its relations and activities. Nothing that concerns man can be alien to the kingdom of God.
"The complete program of the kingdom contemplates evangelism, missions, education, and social service. The advance of the kingdom among men is promoted in and through all the institutions of man's life: the family, the church, and the state. . . . The principles of Christian citizenship, we have stated, are not merely ideals for political thought, but are primarily principles of political action. . . . In the application and realization of these principles there are some definite lines of action which are vital. Our work in behalf of the Christianization of the political and social order must move along four lines: education, agitation, legislation, and law enforcement. . . . This conference should consider the various subjects that are vital to the welfare of the people and should adopt such measures as are to be promoted by education, agitation, legislation, and law enforcement."

TO NATIONALIZE CHRISTIANITY

In a leaflet written by J. S. Martin, D. D., secretary of the National Reform Association, entitled "National Reform," the following statement of what the movement really is and designs to accomplish is given. Since the leaflet is written by the secretary it is official: "National Reform. What is it? . . . As the name indicates, it is a reform that is nation-wide and has to do with the nation as such. . . . Thus regarding the nation, it seeks to have it recognize and acknowledge and reduce to practise these Christian or Bible truths so vital to its welfare. (These truths are that the nation is responsible to God as 'Creator and to Jesus Christ its divinely appointed ruler, and amenable to the law of God revealed through Christ.') This it would have the nation to do not only in its vital or unwritten constitution (that is, in its customs, usages, laws, and institutions), but also in its formal and written Constitution. And all this as a means to the end of thoroughly Christianizing the nation. The preservation, development, perfecting, and perpetuating of our national Christianity is what is meant by National Reform. . . . The United States is normally a Christian nation. National Reform would make it really so. . . . Moreover, National Reform would have the nation, the great moral person that it is, not only procure forgiveness for its sins, . . . but openly and publicly pledge henceforth obedience to Jesus Christ and His law."

THESE GREAT REFORM MOVEMENTS ANALYZED

These great reform movements are in fact but one great movement under different heads. And there might be added to them other movements which, though differing in some features, are the same in general trend. The objects of the movements named are plainly stated. First, to declare Christ this world's king; Second, to adopt the law of God as the state constitution; Third, to compel every skeptic and hypocrite to repent and pledge obedience to the law of Christ; Fourth, to ask Catholicism to join Protestantism in this "Christianity by force" movement; Fifth, to parcel out the parishes of the world, and have no overlapping in home or foreign lands; Sixth, that there shall be no more war.
To declare Christ this world's king was Satan's proposition in the wilderness of temptation, immediately after Christ entered upon His work as Messiah, after His baptism. All Satan required at that time was one act of worship. Now he demands, through these latter-day movements, a pledge of a life of enforced obedience. Christ repudiated the brazen effrontery of his satanic majesty then, and refused to accept any terms or proposals to become this world's king, before that kingdom is given Him of the Father at the second advent. That decision cost Him persecution, humiliation, and finally death upon Calvary. R. C. P.

4311 — THE LAND VERY FAR OFF

Where in the Bible does it say, "They shall see the land that is very far off"? and when shall they see it?
This verse is found in Isa. 33:17. This prophecy applies after the redeemed have entered into their inheritance. Verse 16 is a promise of sustenance and refuge during the time of trouble; and then the exceedingly precious promise is held out as a beacon light to encourage them on, that if they remain steadfast during this time of severe testing, they shall see the King in all His beauty and splendor. Their eyes shall behold the "land that reacheth afar," as the Revised Version gives it; the "land of far distances," as it is given in the margin.
Rev. 22:4, 5 says: "They shall see His face; and His name shall be in their foreheads. And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign forever and ever." Eyes that have power to behold the face of the infinite God, which shines above the brightness of the sun (Rev. 21:23), will be able to see beyond anything within reach of our present powers of conception. Their vision will not be limited as now, but the power of their eyesight will be increased beyond the ability of any human instrument to strengthen it, so that they will be able to see to the remote limits of that "land that reacheth afar."

SCHEDULE FOR THE WEEK ENDING JUNE 6, 1914

HOW many weary souls, rendered disconsolate through the ravages of sin, have found comfort in the wonderful words: "Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before Mine eyes; cease to do evil; learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow. Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool." Isa. 1:16-18. This is only a small portion of the great storehouse of spiritual wealth that is contained in the book of Isaiah, upon which we enter in our reading this week. This book has been denominated the gospel prophecy. In many of its utterances it is a living expression of the experiences through which the world is passing at the present time. Every word should be studied as closely as our time will permit, as we are passing through this book, and we should earnestly pray that the wonderful utterances of God's word may be fastened upon our minds so that we can meditate upon them even when we do not have the privilege of the open book before us.

SCHEDULE FOR THE WEEK ENDING JUNE 6, 1914

Read one chapter in Deuteronomy each week-day and two on the Sabbath. Read one chapter in Isaiah each day. Read one chapter in Ephesians, Philippians, or Colossians each week-day and two on the Sabbath.

PUBLISHING, EDUCATIONAL, and HEALTH WORK

Progress in These Lines in South America — A Remarkable Work among the Indians of That Continent
By H. H. HALL
LAST week Mr. Hall gave us a general view of his trip through South America in the interests of our publishing work. He took us hurriedly from place to place, mentioning matters of interest, and concluded by giving a brief account of our union conference meeting that he attended at Montevideo, Uruguay. This week his article deals more specifically with some of the branches of our growing work there. It is remarkable when we consider the self-sacrifice and the earnestness of human effort that are causing schools, publishing houses, and sanitariums to spring up in every part of this world for the one purpose of promulgating the great message of Christ's soon coming. Nothing short of a marvel of divine power will inspire men to such deeds.
This article is really a continuation of the one last week, although it is independent of it, in that it treats a phase of the subject that may be readily understood without knowing anything that was in the article a week ago.
Next week Mr. Hall will have an article on his visit to the Panama Canal Zone, in connection with which he will tell something of what he saw in regard to the progress of our work in that field.
OUR Argentine publishing house is located at Florida, some thirty minutes' ride from Buenos Aires. It owns its own property. The building is quite roomy for their present necessities, and contains the offices of the union and local Argentine conferences.

CIRCULATION OF LITERATURE

They print three periodicals,—Salud y Vida, or Life and Health; El Atalaya, or Watchman; and La Revista Adventista, or the Advent Review,—all in Spanish. They also issue a number of tracts and pamphlets, but thus far find it more economical to purchase their books from our house in Mountain View, California, or from Barcelona, Spain.
Under the able field direction of Brother E. M. Trummer, who came here from Union College less than five years ago, this branch of the work has gone forward in a marvelous manner. Books and periodicals to the amount of about $100,000 have been sold during that time. To appreciate fully what this means, one must come in contact with the terrible indifference to everything religious, or the worse prejudice against everything evangelical, which everywhere exists.

THE FIELD WELL ORGANIZED

The union and local conferences recognize the value of this department, and each field has a man giving his whole time to its interests, as follows: E. M. Trummer in charge of the union, A. R. Sherman in Argentine, J. T. Thompson in Uruguay, J. D. Lorenz in Chile, A. G. Nelson in Strait of Magellan, R. B. Stauffer in Peru, O. H. Schulz in Bolivia, and Enrique Mangold in Ecuador. With this strong organization, and the continued blessings of the Lord, they will approach $50,000 in their 1914 sales.
Their publishing house has an investment of about $30,000 and is in fairly good financial condition, its present worth being $22,000.

EDUCATIONAL WORK

One of the beautiful trips in Argentine is by boat from Buenos Aires up to the port of Diamante, on the River Plata. Twelve miles inland is the academy, a view of the main building being here shown. There is also a series of rooms partially surrounding a quadrangle, where the kitchen, the dining-room, and the girls' dormitory are located at present.
These are among the first buildings erected; and as they, like most of the homes in this vicinity, are built of adobe, they are cracking badly, and some of them can not be used much longer. Thanks to the recent thirteenth Sabbath offerings by our Sabbath-schools in the states, a new two-story brick building is nearing completion, to which the girls, the dining-room, and the kitchen will be transferred. This will give some of the added space required in the main building, as the boys will remove from it to the rooms vacated by the girls.

WISHED HE HAD GIVEN ANOTHER DOLLAR

One can hardly look over their facilities and the work to be done without wishing he had given another dollar when the contribution envelope went around on that thirteenth Sabbath occasion. As the brick are made on the ground, it is hoped that the new building can be brought within $10,000. A central boiler house is being erected, but this is paid for by local subscriptions.
Prof. H. U. Stevens, of Union College, and his wife, formerly Miss Inez Hoiland, of Oakland, California, are in charge, assisted by Elder W. W. Wheeler, also of California, Otto Heyde, Camilio Gill, R. H. Habenicht, Miss Almeda Kerr, and one or two others whose names I do not remember.
The school was just opening when I was there in early March—they are on the other side of the equator, you see—and the enrolment was nearly one hundred, which is quite an increase over any previous opening. The investment in land, buildings, and furnishings is nearly $25,000, practically all of which is paid.
As the school at Pua, southern Chile, had not opened when I visited that field, I did not see it. That school also received a share of the thirteenth Sabbath offering mentioned, and is therefore securing some of the added facilities of which it stood in great need. Of the educational work among the Indians, I will speak under another heading.

HEALTH AND SANITARIUM WORK

Besides several nurses in different portions of the South American field, who are exerting an excellent influence, we have a good sanitarium just across from the school property, under the direction of Dr. R. H. Habenicht, assisted by Dr. G. B. Replogle and a corps of efficient nurses. This sanitarium, which began in the home of Brother and Sister Habenicht, has now grown into the institution shown in the accompanying cut, to which the people for many miles around flock for physical help.

THE STRENUOUS DOCTOR

Situated as it is, in the country, people come in wagons and on horseback, both for help themselves and to summon the doctor to their homes. He has a cot that he puts into the rear of a wagon when called out on a long night trip; and sometimes for a week about all the sleep he gets is that taken as he is bumped over the country roads on this cot. The corral near the sanitarium was well filled with wagons the day I was there, each one of them bringing its particular case needing the assistance the sanitarium could give.
The institution can care for thirty-five or forty patients; but as it is often filled, the building of an additional wing is considered. The total investment is a trifle over thirty-five thousand dollars, and the present worth a little above twenty-two thousand. Long may it continue to extend its kindly Christian help to the sick and suffering in Argentine.

INDIAN WORK

Unfortunately I failed to meet Brother and Sister F. A. Stahl while in Bolivia and Peru, and therefore can not give as much information as I otherwise could. But that there is a wonderful and seemingly unlimited field opening before us among the Indians of these countries is admitted even by our bitterest opponents. This is particularly true of the section around the shores of Lake Titicaca, near which is Cuzco, the old capital of the Inca empire, the descendants of which are now for the first time becoming interested in Protestantism.
MEDICAL MISSIONARY W. O. CLUFF ON TRIP AMONG THE INDIANS ON THE HIGHLANDS OF BOLIVIA
MEDICAL MISSIONARY W. O. CLUFF ON TRIP AMONG THE INDIANS ON THE HIGHLANDS OF BOLIVIA
Amidst bitter opposition and even persecution, Brother Comacho, an Indian who accepted the message we hold, some five years ago began a little school. The Indians were eager to learn, and flocked to it. Brother Stahl and others began work among them, and the interest in both the school and our message grew.

ATTACKED BY BISHOP AND ARMED MEN

A little over a year ago, Brother and Sister B. Rocas, of Argentine, were sent over to take charge of the school work. But some months later, the Catholic bishop, with two hundred armed men on horseback, fell upon them. Eight were finally arrested because they had been baptized and kept the seventh day, and were driven on foot twenty-two miles to Puno, where they were imprisoned for a week.
As there was no case against them, the jury released them; but Brother Comacho and seven or eight of his companions went to Lima, the capital, and presented their cases to the president and to other leading men as well. The result of their visit, so far as the repealing of the law forbidding Protestant service is concerned, has not yet fully materialized; but the president paid their fares home, and gave each of them a pound sterling.
A leading lawyer of the republic has taken the case up on his own responsibility, and is suing the bishop for imprisoning these Indians without cause. The affair has got into all the papers, and is bringing us and our work before the people throughout the republic.
Schools seem to be the medium through which we may reach these Indians. While the union conference has done what it could for them in the way of a schoolhouse and a mission building, and furnishing a teacher for this one school, more schools can be opened as soon as we find just what legal requirements are necessary in the way of teachers and facilities.
I met Brother and Sister Rocas at Arequipa, where he is finishing some normal work, the lack of which enabled our enemies to declare him incompetent and therefore close the school for a time. He has already completed his preliminary examination, and has every assurance that the finals will be as easily passed, and then the school will be opened once more.

SEVENTY-ONE IMMERSED

Brother Maxwell gave me a kodak view, which is here reproduced, of a recent baptismal scene, in which he and Elder Pohle baptized seventy-one of these people. Following this, a communion service was held on the shores of the lake, and one hundred sixty-eight took part.
A village near here Brother Stahl visited recently; and on his telling the people of the soon-coming Saviour, they pleaded for him to return and tell them more. This he could not promise; but the village chief pressed him until he said, "If I do not return, some one else will." The chief replied, "But how am I to know that some one else will teach us the same things?" Brother Stahl says: "I thought a moment, and then took up a small pebble and broke it in halves. I gave him one half, and told him that whoever would come to teach him and his people would have the other half. He took his half and put it away carefully, and said, 'It is well.'"
At La Paz we met Brother and Sister W. O. Cluff and Sister Wightman, recently from the States. Sisters Cluff and Wightman have been nursing among the Europeans of the city, but Brother Cluff has been doing medical missionary work among the Indians, and he is very enthusiastic over the possibilities before him. He says they seem wonderfully disposed to accept the message of a soon-coming Saviour, and are singularly faithful to it. He refers to those about the lake, as no special results have thus far been seen in the other sections of the country; but no doubt there will be, as soon as our force is sufficient to connect the teacher with the preacher and the medical evangelist. In the accompanying picture Brother Cluff is shown on one of his trips among the high Andes and table-lands of Bolivia.

THEY CAN NOT READ

As Brother Trummer and I rode for two days in almost continuous sight of this people, with their tiny ranches, many of them surrounded with stone walls, and saw their mud huts, with little wooden crosses stuck into the roofs, he said to me, "We can do nothing for these people with our literature, for they can not read."
And yet there are two and a half million of them in Bolivia and Peru alone. Shall we not send to the South American Union sufficient means to enable it to secure instantly the necessary facilities and teachers to give the bread of life to this waiting people, who for long centuries have been downtrodden and persecuted? Shall not these simple folks, who have been taught to trust in the symbol of the cross, be acquainted with its real significance and saving power?
