Studies in e f t Church THE doctrine of the last judg-

ment has for two reasons, almost completely dropped out of promi- nence in men's minds to-day. Firstly, the generally prevaiiing indifference and godlessness de- prives men of nearly all God- consciousness in this life and therefore the world to come does not concern them. Secondly, when the Christian churches embraced evolutionary theology they inevi- tab'y weakened the Bible teaching that, one day relatively soon, God and every man must meet in a final reckoning. You cannot teach mechanistic evolution and have men living in daily preparation to meet their Creator.

Another, though less widespread, reason for disbelief in ultimate judgment, is the abhorrent nature of much erroneous teaching about the eternal torments of the lost. Doctrine which is dis- tasteful to the modern mind, is not, however, on that account alone necessarily wrong.

Negatively, if there is no such thing as the judgment, then much of the Bible has no meaning. There could, for example, hardlv be more explicit language than in these texts:

"He [God] hath appointed a day, in the which Me will judge -the world." Acts 17 : 30, 3 1.

"For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil." Eccles 1 2 : 14.

"For the Son of man shall come in the glory of His Father with

Advent Message : c. The Judgment

By H. W. LUWE

His angels; and then He shall re- ward every man according to his works." Matt. 16 : 27.

Like every dominant doctrinal thought in the Bible, the teaching on the judgment does not stand alone. I t is inseparably bound up with the divinity of Christ, the second advent, restoration to perfection through Christ's redemp- tion, the resurrection, etc.

The first and greatest thing to remember and teach about the judgment is that the believer has nothing to Iear in that great day. It is the long-awaited day of liberation from the limitations and sufferings of this mortal ex- istence. The shout of the righteous at that day is, "Lo, this is our God; we have waited for Xim, . . . we wiil be glad and re- joice in His salvation." Isa. 25 : 9.

When our Lord comes in the day of judgment it is clear that some sort of predetermined ex- amination has &ken place, because the '"sheep" are divided from the "goats" (Matt. 25 : 32), the righteous living and dead (John 5 : 28) are caught up to Christ but the wicked are smitten by His pres- ence (1 Thess. 4 : 16, 17; Luke

17 : 20-30). This is a judgment of investigation held in heaven belore the King of kings appears to men. By then that great Book of Life (Rev. 20: 12) kept by the Record- ing Angel has received its last entry. Every name not found therein is that of an impeniient sinner who is destined for that annihilation which is a merciful God's ultimate remedy for the scourge or' sin. ( h a . 37: 20; 2 Peter 2 : 12.) Adventists believe that the great prophecy of the 2,300 days or years (Dan. 8 : 14) began 457 B.C. (cf. Dan. 9 : 25; Ezra 7 : 11-26) and extended to A.D. 1844. At this time the cleansing of the heaven!y sanctuary took place. The "cleansing" in the earthly sanctuary took place when the high priest entered the most holy place with the sacrificial blood, afterward removing guilt from the people and symbo1ica:ly from the sanctuary (See Lev. l 6 : 16, 20, 21) by placing it upon the scapegoat. When Jesus our great High Priest finishes His work in the most holy place of the heavenly sanctuary, all human destiny wi!l be skaled (Rev. 22: 1 l), grace will cease because proba- tion is ended, and the kingdom of glory becomes a reality at last.

Immediate y there transpires the transcendental events of the second advent. During the mll- lennial reign, which sounds long to our present finite minds but which to immortal beings will be but a fleeting day, Christ and the saints will review God's plans for the last judgment of wickedness:

"Do you not know that the saints shall judge the, world?" 1 Cor. 6 : 1-3. "And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given unto them: . . . and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years." Rev. 20:4. 66 . . . . the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the Most High." Dan. 7:21, 22.

At the close of the millennia1 reign (which subject requires separate consideration), the un- righteous who were slain at the Lord's second advent, are raised to life. (''The rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished." Rev. 20: 5). A careful reading of Revelation 20 : 7-9 shows that the wicked, under their leader Satan, make a des- perate last rebellion against God, and are destroyed utterly and eter- nally in the attempt. What are the degrees of punishment for evil at this time, we know not, and they can be safely left in God's hands.

The seemingly endless night of wickedness, which brings the world to final separation from God, and the righteous well-nigh to distraction, is at last terminated. On the ruins of a world destroyed by sinfulness, the Creator will "make all things new," and it must be that, like Satan and his wilful followers, even the memory of all that the word sin connotes will be eradicated from a righteous world. In its place, there will doubtless come an overwhehing and lasting sense of loyalty to, and love for, a holy God and a re- deeming Christ.

Some questions may be an- swered if we attempt a brief sum- mary of what we mean by "The Judgment."

1. The term "judgment" has many meanings, especially in Greek. It often means separation followed by a decision and execu- tion, sometimes by man, but primarily by God. (Compare Ro- mans 2:s; 2 Thess. 1 3 ; John 16: 8, 11; Luke 24:20.)

2. Sometimes, speaking in general and vague terms, there is such a thing as judgment in this life, but it is wrong to limit "the judgment" to rewards of actions in this life, since God works His ways mysteriously with eternity a

rather than time in mind. The present war illustrates temporary judgments and punishments, but all as part of God's plan to draw men to Himself as the only safe reiuge from the final enactment of &vine wrath against sin.

3. The events included in a broad sense of God's last judgments are : (a) The close of Christ's mediation in heaven. :'b) ' b e sealing Iorever of both righteous and wicked, the latter havmg hardened their hearts beyond the point where even a second pro- bation could save them (See Great Controversy, page 662, end of paragraph 2). (c) 'The final world- wide struggle oi the nations in the great conllict called Armageddon. (d) The second advent or Christ. (e) The saints with Christ in heaven apprised of God S plans for the bnal judgment of evil. (f) The third advent of Christ with His redeemed in the Holy City. (g) The last despairing struggles of the Evil One (Rev. 20: /-10), with his final over- throw. (h) The establishment of the new world of lasting righteousness.

While it is not possible to ex- plain adequately the problem of sin and its judgment, we must bear in mind the ultimate triumph of righteousness in the light of such statements as this:

"With all the facts of the great controversy in view, the whole universe, both loyal and rebellious, with one accord declare, 'Just and true are Thy ways, thou King of saints.' " " Great Controversy," page 671.

N o t e s from #he Union Presiden~

GOOD NEWS FROM MANILA

MRS. ESSERY, of Newport, has received her firs1 personal message from Manila, signed by her daughter, Mrs. A. G. Rodgers, her son-in-law, and little grandson, Marcus. Apparently the Rodgers family are all well and living in a cottage on our College com- pound. They say there is nothing to worry about as they are able to live on native produce, and to work among our people.

ADVENTIST SOLDIERS AND THE SECOND FRONT

SHORTLY, some of the Allied Adventist soldiers among us may be moving to new theatres of war; for this reason it is necessary that we obtain names, serial numbers, units, and A.P.O. numbers of all American and Canadian Adventists, and similar information about other Allied Adventist soldiers. There are still many of ' these among the wor- shippers in our churches, and our officers and members have not troubled to obtain this information which will enab!e us to keep them supplied with literature and letters from time to time.

EQUIPMENT NEEDED OUR College and Secondary

School are finding it almost impossible to obtain certain articles of equipment, and we are asked to state that anyone having such things as hockey sticks, micro- scopes and slides, etc., for disposal should please communicate with us before making arrangements elsewhere.

WORD FROM INDIA

PASTOR A. F. TARR, the secre- tary-treasurer of the Southern Asia Division, reports a number of interesting items in a personal letter. After telling of the sad sights of dying people in the streets in the Bengal famine, he goes on to say how much they have appreciated having Brother George Anniss, one of our Eng- lish soldiers, stationed in India with them. There are one or two others in similar capacity of whom Brother Tarr says : "Cer- tainly our churchmembers have been deeply impressed by ?.heir faithfyl Christian lives, and it may be that they in turn will carry back with them an experience made richer by their con- tact with our work in India." Brother Tarr also adds : "Perhaps Brother Anniss has told you that he travels about 4,000 miles a year to attend Sabbath-school and church service each week.."

ADVENTIST RED CROSS AMBULANCE

THE Union Committee recently decided, with the consent of the General Conference Committee, to forward to the British Red Cross the sum of £500 for the

BRITISH ADVENT MESSENGER

maintenance of an ambulance for one year. We also decided to send a cheque for £100 toward the establishment of the Princess Tsahai Memorial Hospital in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Princess Tsahai was a daughter of the Emperor, who trained in England as a nurse, and went back home to x a r t medical service among her !cople when, unfortunately, she &kd.

These funds will come partly from our Ingathering collection of 1944 and partly from our institu- tions, so that our members will be able to use these facts in indi- cating our interest in home as well as foreign work. H. W. LOWE.

Education and the Ten Commandments

PART 111 THE sixth commandment : Thou shalt not kill thy chil-

dren's confidence in the truth and in the Scriptures as the inspired Word of God.

When we send our children to schools where the truth is de- spised and the Word of God is looked upon as man's creation, we lay a foundation of unbelief. By ss d o i n g we jeopardize their whole spiritual experience, and make it almost impossible for the spiritual life to flourish. The f i s t impulses of the child toward spiritual things, are as tender as the first green shoots in spring time. Deliberately to expose those shoots to the frosts and icy blasts of a late winter would be folly. Just as surely is it folly to expect the spiritual life of our children to prosper and grow strong when in its early stages it is exposed to the frosts of scepticism and the biting blasts of higher criticism. Yet such is the experience which our children will almost inevitably encounter as they go into worldly schools where men and women do not believe in the divine inspiration of the Scriutures. If to kill the body is to fall foul of one of God's commandments, how much worse is it to kill the spirit, and how much greater the penalty of such an act will be!.

The seventh commandment : . Thou shalt not adulterate the

pure water of life with dregs from the broken cisterns of human tra- dition and philosophy.

In education it is important to put first things fist . If we really believe that a knowledge of God, of His commandments, and of His plans for man, is the most important thing for our children, surely we will see to it that the major part of the time spent at school is devoted to the acquisi- tion of such knowledge. The or- dinary school, even where it admits of the importance of religious training, relegates it to a comparatively small place in the daily programme, if indeed it re- ceives daily attention at all. More- over the tendency is to confine religious instruction to certain set periods under the direction of a single teacher, the remaining teachers feeling no obligation to endeavour to deepen the spiritual life and experience of their pupils. On the contrary they will constantly be emphasizing the importance of pagan, non-Christian, and infidel authors. The literature that they will encourage the boys and girls to read will not be of a nature to strengthen their love for the truth, and while it is true that it may contain certain gems of thought, these are as a rule so em- bedded in error, that the search for them leads the seeker into forbidden paths, and his mind is befouled by the base imaginations of the authors. Even when the Scriptures are studied, it is according to the interpretation of men who do not accept, their authenticity, so that the pure water of life is polluted by con- tact with human speculations. Surely it is important that our children should receive the Scrip- tures in their purity and freshness, so that they may perform their appointed purpose of washing them clean from every stain and making their lives pure and holy.

The eighth commandment : Thou shalt not steal from thy

children their divinely appointed right to a Christian education.

God was not indifferent as to the education of His children. He did not leave things to blind chance, to the whim or impulse of the moment. He did not rely upon man's groping after prin-

ciples and methods of education so that by the process of trial and error he should eventually find the most satisfactory way to bring up his children to be obedient in all things to God. Instead, He gave definite instructions to o w first parents as to the means they were to employ in order to bring their children to that perfection of character which would permit of their being restored to lost Eden.

We owe it to our children to provide the system of education best calculated to ensure their eternal salvation, the system which God Himself outlined. Surely to fail to do so is to rob them of that which is theirs by right. Such robbery is condemned in this eighth commandment. Un- doubtedly we shall be held ac- countable for depriving our children of spiritual benefits as we should be for taking from them material possessions.

God's way of education was illustrated in the life of His Son who was fitted for the great task entrusted to Him by an education which safeguarded Him from the subtle errors of His day, strengthened Him physically, in- tellectually, and spiritually, and taught Him by the exneriences of life to rely upon God. What Jesus needed in order to be suc- cessful in His work must doubtless be an essential also in the lives of our children, for to us and to them has been entrusted a work which in importance is in- ferior only to that of Jesus Him- self.

(Continued from page 3.) but by an almost wholesale evacu- ation from many districts. Now again the battle seems to have re- turned with some of its old-time fury, and South England is taking the blows, but is again taking them courageously.

Did you hear this statement over the radio recently?--or perhaps you read it in your news- paper : "Activity was widespread over London, parts of East Anglia, South East England, and the Home Counties." As you will realize, that leaves very little of our territory unaffected. I won- der if you thought what this means to our work, and workers, and to the majority of our members in South England? These conditions cannot be ignored even though they are borne with fortitude and gallantry.

When London has six alerts in five nights-two on Sunday-you can imagine what a devastating effect it has on meeting attendances. Theatre and cinema man- agers report that attendances even at "shows" have been greatly de- creased due to recent raiding. Such a state of affairs is distinctly disturbing, to say the least, so far as public evangelism is concerned, and our workers in the south are facing great difficulty on that account. The wear and strain of wakeful nights is also reflected in church attendance, though our members are showing a spirit of loyalty that is amazing. In recent raids several of our members have suffered Levere hardship and loss, but we are thankful to say their lives have been spared.

However, in spite of these things, the work goes on, and strong plans have been made for aggressive evangelism throughout the whole of our territory during 1944. Given liberty to work, we have in view the largest evangelistic programme ever planned for the conference. No less than twenty campaigns will be in pro- gress this spring and summer, eight of which will be in London and the Home Counties.

In view of present conditions, we want you to remember these campaigns especially in your prayers, and for this purpose the list of places and evangelists is here given. Associate workers are

omitted as some adjustments have yet to be made: A. J. Mustard and

R. A. Vince W. W. Armstrocg L. D. Vince- R. H. Ba~nhridge W. C. Nicholson G. Roper J. H. Bayliss C. R. Bonney

Stonehouse G. R. Bell Brighton 0. H. Rosier Lancmg F. J. Wil?lshurst Plymouth R. H. Smith Taunton and

Bridgwater

In addition to these public campaigns all other ministers will be engaged in aggressive pastoral evangelism wherever they are lo- cated.

Readers will realize that present plans .for the opening of a "Second Front" with all its at- tendant disturbances are having a marked effect in almost all parts of South England. Everyone, especially those in coastal areas, is "Invasion conscious." However, our evangelistic and associate workers are pressing forward with their own "invasion plans," realiz- ing that the greatest battle is the "Battle for Souls." Again we would sincerely seek an interest in your prayers for this "Battle Front Evangelism," that this Cen- tenary Year may be the best in our experience. We in the south are pledged to pray, plan, and work to that end.

G. D. KING.

News from South-East England

T H E MESSENGER f a m i 1 y throughout the British Union is by now well acquainted with the phrase "the South-East," as this corner of England has the honour of being mentioned so often in the daily news. Many other parts of the Union which became fam- iliar with the sound of enemy aeroplanes and crashing bombs are now free from such disturbances, while .this district is still in the battle area. I could give a grim story of recent scars in the various towns, and the narrow es- capes of some of our members, but this is not my object in wri-

ting I know that you are all more interested in the work of God, so I want to tell you a few details of His work in this district.

The scattered members in Gil- lingham, Folkestdne, Canterbury, Margate, Herne Bay, Sitting- bourne, and Maidstone have shown great faith and fortitude under trying conditions. It is al- ways an inspiration to visit them. There is no doubt that we feel our dependence upon God more in times of danger, and the Ad- vent message becomes more pre- cious to us.

Thq work of evangelism, however, under such circumstances is made much more difficult. People are not at all inclined to come to advertised meetings after perhaps several consecutive nights when the siren has sounded and their rest has been broken. It has been very noticeable recently that the week-ends have been especially disturbed. As my seven-year- old boy remarked, "The Luftwaffe does not keep Sabbath!" The people in the Medway towns, where we are working, are notice- ably "raid-weary" over the week- ends. This fact was emphasized when, at the beginning of our campaign, 1 1,000 handbills were given out and we had only twenty-five non-members in a hall seating three hundred !

A few weeks ago a member came to my house on the Sun- day morning to inform me that the hall, where I had just com- menced a new series of meetings, had been destroyed by enemy action the previous night. On going to the place for investigation, imagine my relief to find that our hall was standing; it was the minor hall adjoining which had been demolished.

Another problem is faced in the matter of evening Bible studies. Miss A. Stewart-Jacks, our Bible instructor, and I, have had many a visit and Bible study cut short by the wailing of the siren.

In spite of these circumstances we are very grateful to God for those who have taken, and are taking, their stand for this blessed faith. We have been com- pelled to adjust our methods to personal evangelism rather than public evangelism, and as the re- sult, we are glad to say, we have every evidence of a good baptism

in the very near future. We are also planning to open up work in a nearby town.

NOW, when you hear of or read about the South-East in the news, will you offer up a little prayer for the protection of God's faith- ful people, and the success of His work in this district?

Notes from the President MORE good news! Brother P.

Stearman started his first campaign in Worcester last Sunday and had 100 present. He received fifteen names. We are particularly grateful to God for this splendid opening meeting, as it snowed heavily all day.

Two North England evangel~sts have been blessed with free halls. One has a large modern cinema for two nights, possibly more. The other has a large central hall for eight nights with the possi- bility of continuing longer.

There is a most encouraging wave of evangelism sweeping the conference.

THE FOUR SPECIAL CAMPAIGNS BELOW we list four special cam-

paigns. In these, twelve workers are

spending their full time in pio- neer work. This is the greatest forward step in evangelism ever taken in North England. It has stretched our resources in workers and finances to the limit. We are counting on you as members

rallying around the lay-preachers and faithfully attending Sabbath- school and other meetings. The success of this forward step- the liberation of a large propor- tion of our working force for full- time evangelism-all depends on you. As you think about this, call to mind Christ's words in Luke 4: 43 : "I must preach the kingdom of God to other cities also."

Here are some interesting figures from the Blackpool campaign :

Date Attendance Names Tan. 23 700 50

Averages : Attendance, 7 19 ; Names, 44; Collection, £9. 2s.

LAY-CAMPAIGNS THREE laymen have already

started their campaigns and more will follow in the near future. These brethren have very few facilities and are conducting the campaigns in their spare time. Their faith and courage in the Lord is setting a magnificent example.

OBSTACLE S BEFORE an evangelist can secure

lodgings in some towns he has to give written particulars to the town authorities as to reason for wanting to live in the district, date of arrival, and duration of stay, etc. This is one of his smallest difficulties. Remember the evangelists constantly in your prayers. R. S. JOYCE.

OVERY.-Brother Overy, Sen., passed to his rest on Sabbath, January 29, 1944, following a second operation from which he never really regained consciousness. He attended Pastor Howard's meetings a t Forest Gate, and was bap- tized by him in 1935. Our brother will be greatly missed a t the Forest Gate church, where he was an ardent worker. He was instrumental in bringing hls son, Leonard, to Christ an4 into the Advent family. Our sympathies go out to his loved ones left to mourn. Pas- tor R. Whiteside and the writer laid him to rest in the Manor Park Ceme- tery. He is only parted from us "till the day dawn and the shadows flee away." L. E. A. LANE.
