For centuries it has been the teaching of“orthodoxy,”of all shades, that God, before creating man, had created a great abyss of fire and terrors, capable of containing all the billions of the human family which He purposed to bring into being; that this abyss He had named“hell;”and that all of the promises and threatenings of the Bible were designed to deter as many as possible (a“little flock”) from such wrongdoing as would make this awful place their perpetual home.While glad to see superstitions fall, and truer ideas of the great, and wise, and just, and loving Creator prevail, we are alarmed to notice that the tendency with all who abandon this long revered doctrine is toward doubt, scepticism, infidelity. Why should this be the case, when the mind is merely being delivered from an error?—do you ask? Because Christian people have so long been taught that the foundation for this awful blasphemy against God's character and government is deeplaid and firmly fixed in the Word of God—the Bible—and consequently, to whatever degree their belief in“hell”is shaken, to that extent their faith in the Bible, as the revelation of the true God, is shaken also;—so that those who have dropped their belief in a“hell,”of some kind of endless torment, are often open infidels, and scoffers at God's Word.Guided by the Lord's providence to a realization that the Bible has been slandered, as well as its Divine Author, and that, rightly understood, it teaches nothing on this subject derogatory to God's character nor to an intelligent reason, we have attempted in this booklet to lay bare the Scripture teaching on this subject that thereby faith in God and His Word may be reëstablished, on a better, a reasonable foundation. Indeed, it is our opinion that whoever shall hereby find that his false view rested upon human misconceptions and misinterpretations will, at the same time, learn to trust hereafter less to his own and other men's imaginings, and, by faith, to grasp more firmly the Word of God, which is able to make wise unto salvation; and on this mission, under God's providence, it is sent forth.Price 10 Cents (5d.)

For centuries it has been the teaching of“orthodoxy,”of all shades, that God, before creating man, had created a great abyss of fire and terrors, capable of containing all the billions of the human family which He purposed to bring into being; that this abyss He had named“hell;”and that all of the promises and threatenings of the Bible were designed to deter as many as possible (a“little flock”) from such wrongdoing as would make this awful place their perpetual home.While glad to see superstitions fall, and truer ideas of the great, and wise, and just, and loving Creator prevail, we are alarmed to notice that the tendency with all who abandon this long revered doctrine is toward doubt, scepticism, infidelity.

What Say The Scriptures About Hell?An Examination Of Every Text Of Scripture In Which The Word“Hell”Is FoundA Correct understanding of the subject of this booklet is almost a necessity to Christian steadfastness. For centuries it has been the teaching of“orthodoxy,”of all shades, that God, before creating man, had created a great abyss of fire and terrors, capable of containing all the billions of the human family which He purposed to bring into being; that this abyss He had named“hell;”and that all of the promises and threatenings of the Bible were designed to deter as many as possible (a“little flock”) from such wrongdoing as would make this awful place their perpetual home.While glad to see superstitions fall, and truer ideas of the great, and wise, and just, and loving Creator prevail, we are alarmed to notice that the tendency with all who abandon this long revered doctrine is toward doubt, scepticism, infidelity. Why should this be the case, when the mind is merely being delivered from an error?—do you ask? Because Christian people have so long been taught that the foundation for this awful blasphemy against God's character and government is deeplaid and firmly fixed in the Word of God—the Bible—and consequently, to whatever degree their belief in“hell”is shaken, to that extent their faith in the Bible, as the revelation of the true God, is shaken also;—so that those who have dropped their belief in a“hell,”of some kind of endless torment, are often open infidels, and scoffers at God's Word.Guided by the Lord's providence to a realization that the Bible has been slandered, as well as its Divine Author, and that, rightly understood, it teaches nothing on this subject derogatory to God's character nor to an intelligent reason, we have attempted in this booklet to lay bare the Scripture teaching on this subject that thereby faith in God and His Word may be reëstablished, on a better, a reasonable foundation. Indeed, it is our opinion that whoever shall hereby find that his false view rested upon human misconceptions and misinterpretations will, at the same time, learn to trust hereafter less to his own and other men's imaginings, and, by faith, to grasp more firmly the Word of God, which is able to make wise unto salvation; and on this mission, under God's providence, it is sent forth.Price 10 Cents (5d.)

The Satisfactory Proofs That

The Bible is a Divine Revelation—reasonable and trustworthy, revealing a systematic Plan full of Justice, Wisdom and Love.“The Key of Knowledge”of the Scriptures, long lost is found, and gives God's faithful people access to the“Hidden Mystery.”—Luke 11:52, Col. 1:26.

The Lord Jesus and His faithful are to be not only priests but kings, and will reign over the earth.

This Kingdom is to come at Christ's Second Advent.

God's Plan is to select and save the Church in the Gospel Age, and to use this Church in blessing the world in the Millennium. A“ransom for all”implies anopportunityto all for restitution. The Day of Judgment is 1,000 years long—the world's trial day.

“The narrow way”of self-sacrifice will cease with this Age.

“The highway”of righteousness will be open to all the redeemed race in the Millennium.—Isa. 35:8, 9.

“The kingdoms of this world”are but for an ordained period and must give place to the“Kingdom of Heaven.”

God has permitted evil for six thousand years for a wise purpose.

Do You Know That

We are now living in“the Time of the End”of this Gospel Age?

Our Epoch is“the Day of God's Preparation”for the Millennial Age?

The“Days of Waiting”are ended and the“Cleansing of the Sanctuary”—the Church—the separating of its Wheat and Tares, is now in progress?

This the reason for the beginning of the Return of Divine Favor to Fleshly Israel—blinded for centuries—to permit the gathering of an Elect Class from among the Gentiles?

This favor now taking shape is known as Zionism?

Immanuel's Kingdom is now being established?

The Great Pyramid in Egypt is a Witness to all these events of the past and present—testifying in symbols? The Pyramid's Downward Passage under“A Draconis”symbolizes the course of Sin?

“None Of The Wicked Will Understand”

But“The Wise Shall Understand”That

This Gospel Age is closing with a“Day of Vengeance.”It will affect the whole world, specially Christendom. All Political, Social, Financial and Religious systems will fail.

These Judgments, beginning with the House of God, must extend to all.

Our day is noted by the Prophets as“the Day of Jehovah.”

It is symbolically styled“a Dark Day,”a“Day of clouds,”etc.

Its trouble is symbolically likened to a Hurricane, to a Flood, to a Fire, etc., these strong figures being used to give an appreciation, yet to hide the real nature, of that“Time of Trouble such as Never Has been since there was a Nation.”—Dan. 13:1.

Preparations for this symbolic“Fire”and“Tempest”are now well under way and shortly will rage furiously throughout the world.

It will be a contest between Masses and Classes.

Many see it upon us and trust to various schemes to avert it.

But all worldly Schemes and Panaceas will fail utterly. God's Kingdom, the only hope for Church and world, is sure.

Man's extremity will prove to be God's opportunity—in the establishment of God's Kingdom—Christ's Millennial Kingdom which will establish righteousness by force.—Rev. 2:26, 27; Dan. 2:34, 35, 44, 45.

The At-One-Ment Is Believed In By All

Christian Bible Students

Nevertheless, but few could explain its philosophy

All Should Know

About the great Mediator of the At-one-ment, our Lord Jesus Christ.

Respecting the necessity for the At-one-ment

And the necessity that the“Only Begotten”must be“made flesh,”and then die, and then rise from the dead in order to effect the At-one-ment.

Respecting the office and work of the Holy Spirit in connection with the At-one-ment.

And the important part of the At-one-ment not yet finished—which awaits the Second Coming of our Lord in His Kingdom glory.

Respecting the central doctrine of At-one-ment, namely, theRansom—what is was—why it was and is the center or“hub”around which and into which all Bible doctrines fit.

How this doctrine is the test of the truth or falsity of all doctrines; so that once understood clearly it is a guard against error in every form.

Respecting man, the subject of the great At-one-ment, his nature; his sin; his penalty; his deliverance through Christ; his future possibilities through acceptance of the At-one-ment.

All these interesting and very important themes are lucidly discussed in simple language, and corroborated by fourteen hundred Scripture citations, in

The Creative Week of Genesis—its actual length—scientifically corroborated.

The true Church of Christ, begotten of the Spirit as the New Creation; the steps of Grace Divine—Justification, Sanctification, and Deliverance in the First Resurrection.

The duties and obligations of the New Creation—toward the Lord, toward each other, toward earthly friends and neighbors, toward parents, children, husbands, wives, etc.

The Lord's Memorial Supper or Sacrament: what it is and what it is not should be clearly discerned by all of God's people.

True Baptism—what it is. The many mistakes of nearly all denominations are pointed out in kindly spirit, and then the true Baptism is set forth in convincing style—indisputable, incontrovertible.

The foes and besetments of the New Creation, and the Scriptural method of overcoming them; also the present and the future inheritance of the saints.
