A very important fact, as shown by the apostle John (Rev. 14:12), is that a people will be developed under the sound of the “everlasting Gospel” in the last days, who will “keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.” The point to note in particular is the co-ordinate relation of the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. This is not an incidental mention. The statement of this condition of things among the people of God at this time is especially significant in view of so much present-day teaching, in the name of the Gospel, that puts Jesus Christ at variance with the law which was given, amid such grandeur on Mount Sinai, as the rule of life for man.
Very much of the so-called Gospel teaching of this time ostensibly exalts and lauds faith in Jesus Christ, while it not only evades the obligation of the Christian to obey the law of God, but absolutely disparages that holy code of precepts, and heaps contempt and stigma upon it. Such teaching as this is diametrically contrary to the Gospel of Christ; for man can not preach the true Gospel while he stands in antagonistic relation to the law of God, the Ten Commandments. Concerning the proper relation of Christ to the commandments proclaimed at Sinai, in the great Gospel plan, let it be remembered that it was Christ Himself, who proclaimed these “ten words” amid thunder and lightning and in terrible grandeur upon the mountain. A comparison of two texts of scripture will make this plain: In 1 Cor. 10:1–4, it is plainly stated that Christ went through the Red Sea with the people of God, and led them in their journey toward Canaan. With this fact in mind, read Neh. 9:11–14. The same One who led them through the sea was He who came down upon Mount Sinai and “spakest with them from heaven, and gavest them right judgments, true laws, good statutes and commandments; and madest known unto them Thy [His] holy Sabbath.” Verses 13, 14.
With this fact so clearly before us it must follow inevitably that any teaching which puts Jesus at variance with that holy law, the law which He Himself spoke with the voice of Deity upon the mount, is inconsistent with the Word of God.
Christ Promised.
Attention is now called to a very important incident in connection with the speaking of the11law: When the law was spoken in thunder tones, and the mountain smoked and quaked, the people were terrified, and made an urgent request that God no longer speak with them, but that Moses, a man, should speak, lest they die. Ex. 20:18, 19.
Concerning this request that the words be spoken by the voice of man rather than of the Deity, the Lord said it was “well spoken.” He said, “I will [in harmony with their request] raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, . . . and will put My words in His mouth; and He shall speak unto them all that I shall command Him.” Deut. 18:15–18. All will agree that this promised Prophet, or Teacher for God, is the Man Jesus Christ, who was acknowledged by men to be a “Teacher sent from God,” and “who spake as never man spake.”
Then the Man Christ fulfilled the request which the people made at the Mount, that a man speak the words which were being uttered by the voice of Deity; which voice caused them to fear and tremble. Therefore He came to teach as a man the same precepts which He had uttered in awful tones upon the holy mountain, and not to abrogate them, as is so often affirmed by men who purport to teach the Gospel.
In the fore part of the wonderful Sermon on the Mount the great Teacher, evidently anticipating this anti-law as well as anti-Gospel teaching, uttered these plain and forceful words of caution: “Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets; I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven; but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.” Matt. 5:17–19.
And, in harmony with this instruction, He exemplified the law in His life, and also by His teaching expanded and applied it to a more far-reaching degree than it ever had been before. As the prophet said: “He magnified the law and made it honorable.” Isa. 42:21. He said, “My meat is to do the will of Him that sent Me, and to finish His work.” John 4:34. Thus His life was one of obedience to the law of God; in which He is the example of those who claim to be His disciples. See John 15:10; Phil. 2:5–7; Heb. 5:7–9; 1 John 2:6.
And in the “Revelation of Jesus Christ,” given to us through His beloved disciple John, He says, “Blessed are they that do His commandments that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.” Rev. 22:14.

SPLENDOR FROM WITHIN.
By William C. Gannet
It is the only thing which makes the real and lasting splendor without. Be beautiful and you will, by and by, seem so. Carve the face from within, not dress it from without. Within lies the robing-room, the sculptor’s workshop. For whoever would be fairer, illumination must begin in the soul—the face catches the glow only from that side.
It is the Spirit’s beauty that makes the best face, even for the evening company; and the Spirit’s beauty is the only beauty that outlasts the work and wear and pain of life.
—William C. Gannet.
THE MODERN MENDICANT
By Frances E. Bolton
BY FRANCES E. BOLTON
She comes as one that’s shorn of power,
She comes as one deprived of dower,
As one bereaved and desolate,
And wails beside grim Caesar’s gate,
Beseeching in long, dolorous chant
As one who begs,—a mendicant.
Alas! she has indeed lost dower,—
The Holy Spirit and its power;
For she hath turned from God above,
And seeketh to the state for love.
She is indeed in wo and want,—
A piteous, wailing mendicant.
Grim Caesar o’er the battlement
Laughed once to hear her sore lament.
His courtiers scoffed to hear her moan,
A bride abandoned by her own;
For well they knew the reason sore,
That made her moan and so implore.
Then came a fiend, a treacherous spy,
To urge and then to aid her cry.
His fault and hers had made her fate,
He needs her help to wrong the state,
And enters in with scheme and cant
To raise the fallen mendicant.
Alas! for Cæsar. By and by
He listens to her flattering cry.
He yields his strength to seek her charms,
And drunken lies within her arms,
As Sampson to Delilah sworn,
And knows not that his strength is shorn.
Now what a change has come. Behold!
The mendicant wears gem and gold,
Her wailing cry is heard no more;
She kneels no longer to implore;
But laughs assured of power by fate,
A Jezebel who rules the state.
Alas! this is the history
Of all the church named, “Mystery.”
Adulteress she is called by Heaven
To whom the power of state is given;
Yet heedless of the past, again
She strives to sit as queen ’mong men.
Exalted by the world again,
The church will bind the souls of men;
And, urged by her, the state will stand
Her evil mandates to command,
That Truth shall bow beneath a yoke,
And both the wrath of Heaven provoke.
Yea, it shall come in doom and ire,
And men shall see her burned with fire,
And wail to see her doom draw on,
Her dainties and her glory gone.
With her shall fall the ruined state,
And those who loved shall share her fate.
“Come out of her, My people, come,
Babylon is fallen, flee her doom.
Partake not of her sins, that so
Ye may not share her plagues of wo.
Around the banner rallying stand
For faith in Christ, for God’s command.”
A NOTE OF WARNING.
By J. S. Wightman
(J. S. Wightman, in New York Indicator.)
“Some shall depart from the faith.” The Spirit has spoken expressly on this subject, that in these last days “some shall depart from the faith.” Not from the countless isms of an age steeped in iniquity, but from “the faith once delivered to the saints” and the everlasting gospel of the kingdom; and they shall give heed “to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils.”
Wonderful metamorphosis! From truth to error, from Christianity to Spiritualism, from God to a lost and degenerate company of demons. What a picture for the remnant church to contemplate! And yet we must contemplate it, as we shall see some of those who have once rejoiced in the truth depart from the precious faith, “turn away their ears from the truth” unto fables, and embrace the doctrines of devils. For the Scriptures can not be broken. It was all foreseen.
Very early the great apostasy developed in the Christian Church; as early, indeed, as the life-work of Paul, when such men as Diotrephes loved to have the pre-eminence (3 John 9, 10), and essayed to expel the genuine brethren from the church, and make way for the “mystery of iniquity.” Soon came the mystical and misleading doctrines of those writers whom we call the “early fathers;” and finally, through the love of the pre-eminence, there arose the five metropolitans of Constantinople, Jerusalem, Antioch, Alexandria and Rome. The See of Rome gains the favor of the emperors, and the Papacy fully develops under the guiding hand of Justinian and his famous decree appointing the Bishop of Rome the “head over all the churches and the corrector of heretics.” They loved the pre-eminence. And this unholy love, this unchristian aspiration to rule the souls of men, the love of pre-eminence, paved the way for the acceptance of the multitudinous doctrines of Babylon.
Let the history of the past be a sufficient warning to us of these last days, these perilous times, that we may humble ourselves, not loving the pre-eminence; for the proud and all that do wickedly shall perish. “Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith.” In these times of subtle deceptions and fearful delusions, careful examination of ourselves is absolutely necessary, for not to be in the faith now, means special temptations to accept the “doctrines of demons.” Rev. 3:10; 12:12.
EVANGELIZATION OF THE WORLD.
1. What is God's desire concerning humanity?
“Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.” 1 Tim. 2:4.
2. How broad is this invitation?
“Look unto Me, and be ye saved, and all the ends of the earth.” Isa. 45:22. “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only-begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on Him should not perish, but have eternal life.” John 3:16. See, also, Rev. 22:17.
3. How extensively was the Gospel preached in the past?
The grace of God, as shown by His works according to the Nineteenth Psalm, had been world-wide. “Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world.” Ps. 19:1-4. See also 1 Chron 16:23-34, showing that the salvation of God was to be proclaimed to all the world in His works and by His Word.
4. How broad is the Gospel commission?
“And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto Me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost; teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you; and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world.” Matt. 28:18-20.
5. What is especially said of the closing work of that Gospel in the last days?
“And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting Gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people.” Rev. 14:6. “And this Gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.” Matt. 24:14.
6. Because of God's goodness in thus giving His truth to the world what will many people be led to say?
“And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; and He will teach us of His ways, and we will walk in His paths; for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. And He shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning-hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the Lord.” Isa. 2:3-5.
7. But what does the prophet say is the Lord's attitude toward those who raise this false call?
“For Thou hast forsaken Thy people the house of Jacob, because they are filled with customs from the East, and are soothsayers like the Philistines, and they strike hands with the children of foreigners. And their land is full of silver and gold, neither is there any end of their treasures; their land also is full of horses, neither is there any end of their chariots. Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made. And the mean man is bowed down, and the great man is brought low; therefore forgive them not.” Isa. 2:6-9, A. R. V. “When they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them; . . . and they shall not escape.” 1 Thess. 5:3.
8. What will be the condition instead of peace?
“Proclaim ye this among the Gentiles: Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come up; beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruning-hooks into spears; let the weak say, I am strong. Assemble yourselves, and come, all ye heathen, and gather yourselves together round about; thither cause thy mighty ones to come down, O Lord. Let the heathen be wakened, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat; for there will I sit to judge all the heathen round about.” Joel 3:9-12.
See also the context showing that this condition of things is right at the time when the harvest of the earth is ripe, when the great day of the Lord is near, and multitudes, multitudes are in the valley of decision. Chapters 16 and 19 of Revelation and 25 of Jeremiah teach the same awful state of universal war.
9. Yet what plea does the Lord make?
“As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live; turn ye, turn ye, from your evil ways, for why will ye die?” Eze. 33:11.
10. What will be the effect of this Gospel?
This is shown in Rev. 14:6-12. As the sun and rain of heaven ripens both weeds and grain in the field, so in the spiritual world the latter rain of God's Spirit and the sunlight of His Word will develop and ripen the tares as well as the wheat, will develop and work in men hardened by their resisting its truths, and will also bring forth such a purity and strength of character as has never been known in all the past, so that it can be truly said of them, “Here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.” Rev. 14:12.
TRUE GLADNESS.
Be glad when the flowers have faded?
Be glad when the trees are bare?
When the fog lies thick on the field and moor,
And the frost is in the air?
When all around is a desert,
And the clouds obscure the light,
When there are no songs for the darkest day,
No stars for the longest night?
Ah, yes, for the truest gladness
Is not in ease or mirth;
It has its home in the heart of God,
Not in the loves of the earth.
God's love is the same forever,
If the skies are bright or dim,
And the joy of the morning lasts all day
When the heart is glad in Him.
—Anon.
From a Native of India.
Our readers will be interested in a letter from a young lady, a native of India, who is also a student worker in the cause of truth. The letter was written to Sister Minnie Mabley, of Roseburg, Or., whose sister, Della Burroway, is a missionary at Karmatar, India. Brother Little and wife, mentioned in the letter, are graduates of Walla Walla (Wash.) College.
Training School,
Karmatar, E. I. R., India.
Mrs. Mabley—My Dear Friend: Your sister, Della Burroway, says she has so many letters to write this week that I volunteered to write one for her
A Group of Natives of India.
Our school is in a very nice place. We have a big compound (yard) and many kinds of trees are in it. There are eleven boys and ten girls here, besides the workers, which brings the number up to thirty-five. We are having school now. Mrs. Little is our teacher. I study in the school and work in the Watchman Press, of which Brother Little has charge. I like to work there.
I feel so glad when the papers go out, because I know that many people will read them who do not know the truth.
One of my sisters and one of my brothers work in the Press. I teach the little children in the Sabbath-school. I have five boys in my class. I like to teach them. Last Sabbath I taught them about the centurion’s servant, and Mrs. Little asked them some questions about the creation, and about the first man and woman. They were so interested, and they answered almost all the questions.
I hope that you will pray for us, that we may bring them to see the true way. And I hope that when they grow to be young men, they will be able to bring some souls to Jesus.
Many souls are here who never heard about Jesus, nor about the truth. We are getting prepared to go out and tell the people about Jesus and His second coming. Miss Whiteis treats the sick people here. They come here from morning till evening to get treatments.
I have seen your photo and your children’s photos. Your sister showed them to me.
I hope that you will answer this letter, and tell me something about your country. We are having rain almost every day; the flowers and green grass look so pretty in the morning.
Now I must close my letter. With love to you and your little children, I remain your friend and sister.

CURSED LAZINESS.
[From a sermon by Rev. John Muir.]
“Cursed be he that doeth the work of the Lord negligently.” I venture to think it would have been better if, instead of this Latin word “negligently,” our revisers had used its Anglo-Saxon equivalent, “lazily,” for I am sure that the word laziness is more widely and more thoroughly understood than the word negligence. Here, then, we find God, through His servant the prophet, denouncing and cursing laziness. And small wonder that it should be so. What think you is the greatest of all the obstacles which impede the progress of the kingdom of Christ? I will tell you. It is the negligence or laziness of its members. Look around upon the churches, in any direction you please, and what do you find? You find that whatever of work is done through their agency is done by few individuals.
But we need not individualize. The words apply to Christian people everywhere, whether officially recognized by the church or not, and they distinctly teach that a curse—and the curse (O, awful thought!) is the curse of God—that a curse shall overtake each and all who fail to put heart and soul into “the work of the Lord.”
CHRIST IS COMING.
By Iva A. Clute
BY IVA A. CLUTE.
He is coming, Christ our Saviour!
Let His praises loudly ring,
He is coming, our Redeemer,
Christ, our great High Priest and King!
In the world's wild strife and turmoil,
In the city's noisy hum,
Is “perplexity of nations”
And the “fear of things to come.”
In the greed for gain and riches,
In the love of worldly praise,
Are the “treasures massed together
Waiting for the latter days?
Long ago the “sun was darkened,”
Long ago the “moon was red,”
And the generation liveth
Unto whom the Master said:
“Verily, this generation
Shall not pass until they see
Christ the Lord in all His glory,
Ruler of the world to be.”
Past the gold and past the silver,
Past the brass and iron, we say,
Till between us and the Saviour
Nothing intervenes but clay.
Ah! how soon will that be broken!
Tidings come from far and nigh;
Turkey's power is nearly ended,
Signs are thickening in the sky.
While the world cries, “Peace and safety,”
Then their course the Christians shape.
For He says “Destruction cometh,”
And no evil shall escape.
For, amid the preparations
For a world-wide peace in life,
Christians see the nations gathering,
Arming “for the last great strife.”
Even now the Judgment's sitting,
While the world in sin doth sleep,
Rushing to the awful crisis
When they then shall wail and weep.
But all those who wait His coming
Now may know the time draws nigh,
They may herald forth the tidings
Of His coming from on high.
Then the saints shall be translated,
Rouse, ye true, ring forth the cry;
Shout aloud in glad thanksgiving,
Our redemption draweth nigh!
The Crime of Doing Nothing.
Perhaps it may be objected that I am making too much of an isolated passage of Scripture. My reply is, I am not dealing with an isolated passage of Scripture. Away back in the days of the judges we hear this very curse uttered as a word of doom. “Curse ye Meroz, saith the angel of the Lord. Curse ye bitterly the inhabitants thereof.” Why was this ancient city thus cursed? What had her citizens done that they should be thus punished? Nothing! They had done nothing, and therein lay their crime. They were negligent, indifferent, and inactive when the call to work and duty was both loud and clear. Sisera’s hosts were in the land. On all sides cities and tribes were flocking together to meet the invader. But amongst them there was no Meroz. Indolent and irresponsive, she came not forth “to the help of the Lord against the mighty.” And when, without her aid, the battle had been fought and won, judgment went forth against her; henceforth she became an accursed city, till at last not one stone was left upon another concerning which men might say, “Here stood Meroz.”
We hear it again in the New Testament, and this time from the lips of the Master Himself. “Cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” Why this awful penalty? Wherein had the man transgressed? He was “slothful,” that was all; a servant that had neglected his duty; a lazy, and therefore an idle, man. Yet once again the curse falls upon our ears from amidst the wondrous scenes of the Apocalypse, when he who walks in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks is heard declaring, “Because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.” O, brethren, instead of being confined to an isolated passage, the truth of my text is taught in every part of Scripture.
God’s Work.
I dare say that to some of you these words seem very severe. Let such remember that the work which is being neglected is the Lord’s work. We often hear and speak of “church work,” but if we would speak correctly that phrase must be discarded. There is no such thing as “church work.” The work in question is God’s work, and as such—if for no other reason—it claims our best energies.
O, brethren, it is high time to awake out of sleep! We have been negligent and half-hearted all too long. Remember the working period is strictly limited. The time is fixed in which we must accomplish our task; and when the end of that time shall come, nothing more can be done, not another stone can be laid by the builder, nor another touch be given to any of its parts. We must work the works of Him that sent us while it is day, because the night cometh when no man can work. Solemn thought for all of us! “The night cometh.” The years are speeding quickly past. The day is far spent, and the night—the night whose gloom will blot the field of labor from our vision, the night when the hand that now trifles with its task shall lie palsied and chill, the night beyond whose shadows our wasted opportunities will meet us again, the night is at hand, the night in which no man can work.
Yes, and the solemnity of the thought is increased by the fact that no man knoweth the hour of its coming. Not always is its approach preceded by the dip of the sun towards the west. Not always are we warned that the night is near by the withering of our powers. Sometimes it comes while the sun is still climbing to its zenith, and before our growing faculties have reached their highest development. We know not how, we know not when, but yet it comes.
What Is Needed.
Away then with lethargy and half-heartedness! Let us arise and curse our laziness ourselves, forswearing it forever. Let us judge ourselves, that we be not judged of God. What is wanted—what God wants, and what the importance of the work demands—is a burning and consuming earnestness. The zeal of the Lord must eat us up. The baptism we are baptized with must be distinctly and manifestly a baptism of fire. It must kindle our energies to a white heat, and fill us with a glowing enthusiasm which will burn through every false barrier, and make itself felt in every direction.
Look around you and see how active and earnest are the forces arrayed against us. From center to circumference the kingdom of darkness thrills and throbs with earnestness. Every subject is a soldier, and being a soldier, he fights. Every subject is a servant, and being a servant, he serves. There is no dilly-dallying or make-believe in the enemy’s camp. Then why should there be any in ours? Has the cross no longer its power? Has the sacred passion exhausted its inspirations? Does the love of Christ no longer constrain and the Holy Ghost no longer energize? Ten thousand times no! It is our dull, supine, and senseless hearts that have lost the power to respond to these divine realities. We are touched by stimulating influences at every turn in life, but alas! we are dead to them all.
O, brothers, we must get nearer to Christ. We must tarry at the cross till its very memory becomes a life-giving power. We must open our hearts to the Spirit till He fills us with all the fulness of God. Then shall we no longer be idlers under a curse, but Christ-like workers. Servants to whom the Master will say, when He cometh, “Well done, good and faithful servant, enter thou into the joy of thy Lord.”
THE OPENING OF KEENE ACADEMY.
By C. B. Hughes
Keene Academy opened October 18 with twenty-five more students than last year. We have just 100 students enrolled above the sixth grade at the beginning of the third week. There are several more students in the home than at any time last year.
Our faculty has been increased and our course of study lengthened one year. Several advanced classes have been organized. It is the plan of our managers to give our young people that efficient preparation that is demanded by the Third Angel's Message.
As has been previously announced our academy is out of debt, and our board is planning for several important improvements. Plans are just about perfected for heating the Home with steam, and money is in sight for these improvements.
We seem to have a very devoted class of young people. The outlook for our school is very good, and we bless God and take courage.
