Mr. W. S. McClurken has returned om an extended trip in Texas. In 9rt Worth he organized a City Mission ith one of the best-equipped rooms in e country. Marked blessings at- nded his work. He is now in Downey d is assisted by Mr. Geo. Trotter of ie Union Rescue Mission. SHARP ARROWS. A reviewer says, of a late book: "We hi ive in this book a fine example of th e young minister. His mission is not solely to prepare souls for heaven, but to become the guide and director of the m iw order of humanity, political and social. The new minister is to have g reat power in making democracy the fiiial form of the State, and in making Christianity the final form of democ- i acy.' | The Holy Spirit, through the Apostle tpi the Nations, wrote three treatises, I aiid I I Timothy and Titus, on the duties off the "Young minister." He says nothing of a "Christian S t a t e" or / ' d e - mocracy;" or of ministerial association with either; nor yet of "bring(ing) in the Kingdom of Heaven on earth.'' He mentions "perilous times" coming on; a> " f i g h t " till Jesus appears, but not a §§Christian State." He speaks of the '(appearing" of a Potentate, a King oft Kings and Lord of Lords, but not of democracy. j A new order of humanity, indeed, the y oung minister is the guide and director df, but it is one after the order of Welchisedec, a spiritual priesthood, par- taking of eternal life and separate from sSnners; not of the world. Let us be slhy of " t h e young minister" and " t h e ew ," and, also, "shun profane and ain babblings." The Independent says: " I t is not asy for the unitiated to understand 'hy Mrs. Eddy's religion should be ailed Christian Science, for there is othing of science in it, and it is a ueer kind of Christianity which gives i is followers a new Bible, provided at a i round price per copy to its believers, s well as a new prophet. In this -it luch resembles Mormonism, which in he Religious Census is not classed as branch of Christianity.'' Wordy nonsense of the Eddyites them- elves, it goes on to say: "They have
PROPHECY FULFILLING.
In an article on " The Jewish Out- look," and the offer of Mesopotamia to the Jews, the editor of Watchword and Truth says, in the June number: "How all this stirs the blood, appeals to the imagination, and thrills the ex- pectation that the coming of the Lord draweth nigh. 'When ye see all these things begin to come to pass, then lift up your heads: your redemption draw- eth nigh.' And it is nearer than we know. Everything will come with a rush towards the end. How many things the fulfillment of this scheme will make possible! No longer will the world wait for railroad communication from the Occident to the Orient—from Canstan- tlnople to the Persian Gulf. Turkey will build the railroad through its own territory by Jewish capital, developing a State under Jewish control, insuring protection of life and property, and the administration of equal justice to all, upon the unequalled basis of the Mosaic law. Babylon will be rebuilt, and the richest, most commercial and energetic race on earth, will restore commercial supremacy to its base—to the spot where it started—to a new Babylon, re- built with greater splendor than ever flashed out in the days of the kings who ruled the world. Gradually, from this point, Palestine will be recovered and restored to Jewish control—indeed, the Jewish people, even now, outnumber any other race covering these sacred hills and valleys. Jerusalem will be inhab- ited, its temple will be rebuilt, the Jewish sacrifices and worship will be re-established, and there will be two capital cities—Babylon and Jerusalem —the one controlling the commerce of the world, and the other—shall we tell it?—becoming the center of the actions of the Antichrist, first getting control of the Jewish race by flatteries, then by coercion, and then by a despotism, a tyranny, a persecution and a tribula- tion, never before equalled, and never again to be repeated. Behold, it cometh quickly!"
