144 THE K I N G ’ S B U S I N E S S of souls today, are the men and women who are not disturbed by a “ bogey,” but who are sad a t ’heart that men are willing to wear the title of Doctor of Divinity” when they deny the proper Deity of our Lord, and our Lord’s own words in the Book of Revelation (Chap. 1:10, 11, 17, 18) : ' “ I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s Day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last; and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are^ in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea. * * * “ And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. And He laid His right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not: I am the first and the last. “ I am he that liveth and was dead; and, behold, I am alive forever more, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.” . If Dr. Case would do as John did, perhaps the Lord would make him a teacher of Divimtyjf-T. C. H. T H E Bible Up T o Date The Bible is not only up-to-date, but always a little ahead of date. The December 6th issue of The Literary Digest has a remarkable article con cerning “ A Dead Sea Power Plant” : “ The Dead Sea is nearly 1400 feet below its neighbor, the Mediterranean, and a tunnel only 37 miles long will carry the water of the latter into the former. It is natural that, despite the enormous cost of such an engineering work, the possibility of using these conditions for great development of power should be dis cussed. Plenty of water and a good fall are the desiderata for any hydraulic enterprise of this nature. The ocean would seem to be a reasonably good storage reservoir in this case, and a fall of over a quarter of a mile vertically is not^ to be despised. More than half of this would be required to overcome the friction of the transit through the long tunnel; but enough would be left to develop great power, and the water added to the Dead Sea would be disposed of by evaporation after a comparatively slight increase in its area. A definite project to utilize this fall is described by a writer in the ’Evening Post’ (New York).” A splendid project and no doubt but that it is feasible and would be profitable, but the Lord has something bigger than that for the Dead Sea and for Jerusalem, and we are going to send to Mr. Albert H'jorth, the Norwegian civil engineer who has proposed the plan, a copy of this issue of The King’s Business so that he may have the satisfaction of knowing that the -Lord has decided on an engineering feat of greater dimensions, and pro poses to carry it out without expense to any corporation or government. The plan of the Lord is in connection with His return to the^ earth, which return a good many preachers who are short on Bible information are making light of. ; When the Lord left this earth for the glory, His feet had rested on the Mount of Olives (Acts 1:9-12), and the two witnesses in white testified that “ He should so come in like manner as ye have seen Him go into heaven.” And Zechariah gives a further detail, for He tells us in Zech, 14:4 and 8 that “ And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east, and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south. “ And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea; in summer and in winter it shall be.”
