WHEN 
THE 
NATIONS 
WILL 
SEEK 
GOD 
"That 
they 
should 
seek 
the 
Lord, 
if 
haply 
they 
might 
feel 
after 
him, 
and 
find 
him, 
though 
he 
be 
not 
far 
from 
everyone 
of 
us."-Acts 
17:27. 
New 
Testament 
eVIdences 
on 
this 
subject 
of 
seeking 
the 
Lord 
give 
the 
thought 
that 
not 
very 
many 
are 
in 
the 
condition 
of 
heart 
to 
seek 
him 
at 
the 
present 
time. 
"The 
god 
of 
this 
world 
hath 
blinded 
t.he 
minds 
of 
them 
that 
believe 
not. 
lest 
the 
glorious 
light 
of 
the 
Gospel 
of 
Christ" 
and 
the 
faith 
of 
Jesus 
should 
shine 
into 
their 
hearts. 
(2 
Cor. 
4:4) 
Neverthe­ 
less, 
as 
the- 
Apostle 
puts 
it, 
God 
is 
"not 
far 
from 
everyone 
of 
us," 
and 
everyone 
who 
will 
seek 
or 
feel 
after 
him, 
he 
will 
be 
pleased 
to 
bless 
by 
a 
manifestation 
of 
himself. 
In 
faet, 
this 
is 
the 
very 
object 
of 
this 
present 
Gospel 
age-to 
find, 
to 
enlighten, 
to 
bless 
and 
to 
gather 
into 
a 
special 
class 
tho~e 
who 
"hunger 
and 
thirst 
after 
righteousness." 
Those 
who 
tllUs 
seek 
after 
the 
Lord 
he 
guides, 
draws, 
influences. 
He 
leads 
them 
to 
the 
Lord 
Jesus 
Christ, 
pointing 
to 
him 
as 
the 
neces­ 
sary 
way 
by 
whiC\h 
they 
may 
approach 
himself 
and 
assuring 
them 
that 
there 
is 
no 
other 
name 
given 
whereby 
they 
can 
be 
saved 
(Ads 
-1: 
12), 
and 
that 
all 
who 
will 
come 
unto 
him 
through 
Christ 
will 
he 
arcepted. 
Hueh 
as 
do 
eome 
in 
this 
way, 
we 
have 
proven 
from 
our 
own 
pxperienecs 
and 
the 
experienc'es 
of 
others, 
as 
well 
as 
from 
the 
'YOI'd, 
arl' 
met 
half 
way 
by 
the 
Lord. 
"Draw 
nigh 
unto 
me, 
and 
I 
will 
draw 
nigh 
unto 
you." 
(.Tas. 
4:8) 
And 
as 
they 
draw 
nigh 
and 
eontinue 
to 
approaeh 
doser 
by 
God's 
grace, 
they 
are 
hrought 
by 
and 
by 
to 
a 
full 
realization 
that 
God 
is 
will­ 
lIlg 
to 
a('('ept 
them 
as 
saerificers, 
as 
"members 
of 
the 
body 
of 
Christ." 
If 
they 
fall 
into 
line 
with 
the 
divine 
provision 
and 
present 
thpir 
bOllies 
a 
livlllg 
saerifiee, 
they 
will 
be 
looked 
upon 
as 
holy. 
acepptable 
to 
God 
(Rom. 
12: 
1); 
they 
will 
recognize 
thp 
"hi[!h 
ealling" 
to 
"glory 
and 
honor 
and 
immortality" 
with 
Christ. 
But 
if 
they 
fail 
to 
go 
on, 
tllPy 
will 
thus 
reepive 
the 
gra('p 
of 
God 
in

hut 
also 
in 
his 
Epistle 
to 
Timothy 
(1 
Tim. 
2:4), 
that 
nod 
wills 
that 
all 
men 
shall 
be 
savl'd; 
wills 
it 
in 
the 
sense 
that

will 
awaken 
them 
all 
from 
Adamic 
death 
and 
"bring

('overed 
I'ntirply 
from 
all 
imperfeetions 
that 
belong 
to 
Adam's 
f'ondemnation, 
and 
thus 
brought 
fully 
into 
harmony 
with 
him. 
Beeause 
this 
is 
his 
will.. 
he 
has 
made 
ample 
provisions-not 
onlv 
in 
the 
arrangl'ment

which 
our 
Lord 
died 
on

of 
'all 
mankind, 
that

Ransomer 
of

2 
:9. 
In 
this 
sermon 
on 
Mars 
Hill, 
the 
Apostle 
Paul 
pointed 
out 
to 
the 
men 
at 
Athens 
that 
this 
"unknown 
God," 
this 
God 
who 
was 
unknown 
to 
them, 
is 
the 
great 
God 
who 
has 
divided 
unto 
men 
their 
habitation 
and 
determined 
their 
bounds; 
that 
he 
is 
the 
supervisor 
of 
the 
nations; 
that 
he 
determineR 
how 
long 
and 
under 
\\ 
hat 
eonditious 
the 
nations 
may 
prosppr 
and 
what 
liberties 
and 
opportunities 
tllf'y 
may 
have. 
Then 
he 
proeeeds 
to 
point 
out 
that 
while 
God 
has 
for 
a 
long 
time 
Il'tt 
men 
in 
ignoranee 
ami 
winked 
at 
lIlany 
of 
their 
impl'rteetions 
and 
flagrant 
wrong-(Ioings. 
as 
though 
he 
did 
not 
notice 
them 
all, 
nevertheless 
another 
step 
has 
now 
been 
taken 
in 
his 
great 
plan: 
"Now 
he 
commands 
all 
nH'n 
everywhere 
to 
rpppnt." 
The 
Apostle 
further 
dpdares, 
I, 
Panl, 
have 
something 
to 
tell 
you 
about 
this 
great 
God 
amI 
ahout 
his 
message-that 
al] 
men 
everywhere 
should 
repent. 
Do 
yon 
ask 
me 
why 
they 
should 
repent? 
I 
answer. 
for 
the 
reason 
that 
Uo(1 
is 
pre­ 
pared 
to 
forgive 
them 
their 
sins. 
on 
this 
<'OIHlltion: 
He 
was 
not 
prepared 
to 
do 
this 
a 
short 
time 
ago; 
he 
was 
not 
pre­ 
pared 
to 
do 
this 
until 
Christ 
died; 
hut 
~inl'p 
Christ 
has 
dil'd 
and 
aseended 
up 
on 
high 
amI 
"app('arpd 
in 
the 
prpsen('e 
of 
God 
for 
us"-for 
believers-God 
is 
now 
Willing 
to 
accept 
any 
who 
('orne 
unto 
him 
through 
.J 
esus. 
It 
is 
proper, 
therefore, 
that 
I 
should 
tell 
yon 
that 
there 
is 
to 
be 
an 
opportunity 
of 
future 
life 
through 
him. 
And, 
furthermore, 
it 
is 
propl'r 
that 
I 
shonld 
tell 
you 
alw 
that 
"God 
has 
appointed 
a 
Day 
[the 
great 
~Iillennial 
period] 
in 
which 
he 
will 
judge 
[try] 
the 
world 
in 
righteousness." 
The 
whole 
world 
will 
then 
have 
a 
trial, 
a 
righteou'l 
trial. 
a 
fair, 
impartial 
tria 
I. 
a 
full 
opportunity 
"to 
eome 
unto 
the 
knowl­ 
pdge 
of 
the 
truth"; 
to 
eome 
to 
a 
knowledge 
of 
right 
and 
wrong, 
a 
full 
opportunity 
to 
f'ome 
to 
perfed.ion 
of 
human 
life 
and 
to 
attain 
all 
that 
was 
lost 
in 
the 
fall 
of 
man, 
(Luke 
19: 
10) 
This 
message 
should, 
as 
far 
as 
possible, 
he 
made 
known 
to 
all 
men 
everywhere. 
because 
every 
act 
of 
their 
lives 
will 
have 
a 
bearing 
upon 
the 
future; 
it 
will 
either 
uplift 
them 
to 
some 
extent 
out 
of 
the 
depths 
of 
degradation 
into 
whieh 
the 
world 
has 
been 
plunged 
through 
ignoranee 
and 
superstition 
and 
bring 
a 
development 
of 
character, 
or 
it 
will 
condemn 
them 
and 
bring 
a 
measure 
of 
retribution, 
and 
thus 
make 
the 
conditions 
of 
the 
future 
more 
diffieult 
than 
they 
would 
be 
if 
righteousness 
were 
sought.

New Testament evidences on this subject of seeking the Lord give the thought that not very many are in the condition of heart to seek him at the present time. “The god of this world hath blinded the minds of them that believe not, lest the glorious light of the Gospel of Christ” and the faith of Jesus should shine into their hearts. (2 Cor. 4:4) Nevertheless, as the- Apostle puts it, God is “not far from every one of us,” and every one who will seek or feel after him, he will be pleased to bless by a manifestation of himself. In fact, this is the very object of this present Gospel age—to find, to enlighten, to bless and to gather into a special class thoxe who “hunger and thirst after righteousness.” Those who thus seek after the Lord he guides, draws, influences. He leads them to the Lord Jesus Christ, pointing to him as the necessary way by which they may approach himself and assuring them that there is no other name given whereby they can be saved (Acts 4:12), and that all who will come unto him through Christ will be accepted. Such as do come in this way, we have proven from our own experiences and the experiences of others, as well as from the Word, are met half way by the Lord. “Draw nigh unto me, and I will draw nigh unto you.” (Jas. 4:8) And as they draw nigh and continue to approach closer by God’s grace, they are brought by and by to a full realization that God is willing to aecept them as sacrificers, as “members of the body of Christ.” If they fall into line with the divine provision and present their bodies a living sacrifice, they will be looked upon as holy. acceptable to God (Rom, 12:1); they will recognize the “high calling” to “glory and honor and immortality” with Christ. But if they fail to go on, they will thus receive the grace of God in vain.—2 Cor. 6:1. The Apostle intimates, not only in the text under consideration. hut also in his Epistle to Timothy (1 Tim, 2:4), that God wills that all men shall be saved; wills it in the sense that he will awaken them all from Adamic death and “bring them to a knowledge of the truth”; that they may be recovered entirely from all imperfections that belong to Adam’s condemnation, and thus brought fully into harmony with him, Because this is his will. he has made ample provisions—not only in the arrangement by which our Lord died on behalf of all mankind, that he might be the Ransomer of all, but also in the provision that all shall have the opportunity of Vou. XXXI BROOKLYN, N. Y., JUNE 15, 1910 BROTHER RUSSELL’S EUROPEAN TOUR — coming to this knowledge and of benefiting thereby.—Heh. 2:9. In this sermon on Mars Hill, the Apostle Paul pointed out to the men at Athens that this “unknown God,” this God who was unknown to them, is the great God who hag divided unto men their habitation and determined their bounds; that he is the supervisor of the nations; that he determines how long and under what conditions the nations may prosper and what liberties and opportunities they may have. Then he proceeds to point out that while God has for a long time lett men in ignorance and winked at many of their impertections and flagrant wrong-doings, as though he did not notice them all, nevertheless another step has now been taken in his great plan: “Now he commands all men everywhere to repent.” The Apostle further declares, J, Paul, have something to tell you about this great God and about his message—that all men everywhere should repent. Do you ask me why they should repent? I answer, for the reason that God is prepared to forgive them their sins, on this condition: He was not prepared to do this a short time ago; he was not prepared to do this until Christ died; but sinve Christ has died and ascended up on high and “appeared in the presence of God for us’—for believers—God is now willing to accept any who come unto him through Jesus. It is proper, therefore, that I should tell you that there is to be an opportunity of future life through him. And, furthermore, it is proper that I should tell you also that “God has appointed a Day [the great Millennial period ] in which he will judge [try] the world in righteousness.” The whole world will then have a trial, a righteous trial, a fair, impartial trial, a full opportunity “to come unto the knowledge of the truth’; to come to a knowledge of right and wrong, a full opportunity to come to perfection of human life and to attain all that was lost in the fall of man. (Luke 19:10) This message should, as far as possible, be made known to all men everywhere. because every act of their lives will have a bearing upon the future; it will either uplift them to some extent out of the depths of degradation into which the world has been plunged through ignorance and superstition and bring a development cf character, or it will condemn them and bring a measure of retribution, and thus make the conditions of the future more difficult than they would be if righteousness were sought. No. 12 [SEC. II.—ROME AND HOMEWARD BOUND] Sunday, May Ist, was spent in Rome. We had a public service which indicated the deep interest of the comparatively few present. Possibly as many grains of wheat were found as though the meeting had been larger. “The Lord knoweth them that are his.” On the whole, however, the meeting was quite a disappointment and came far from fulfilling the prophesy made respecting the large attendance—based upon what were supposed to he very liberal arrangements for a large central auditorium and very liberal advertising. The dear brother who had the matter in charge no doubt used his best judgment, but his experience in such matters was limited. We spelled our disappointment with an “HH,” and trusted that the Lord could and would overrule the matter according to his own wisdom. We hope to hear of further interest on the part of some present on that oceasion. Our text was from Romans 1:16. We had no appointment at Venice or Vienna, and went on to Warsaw, Russia. There we had a very enjovable time with the class of about twenty. Brothers Rutherford and Koetitz accompanied us, and the latter served as interpreter. The very closest attention was given while we endeavored to show forth various features of present truth—especially did we emphasize the doctrine of the ransom. We especially endeavored to make clear how that Jesus gave himself sacrificially to the Father and what he laid down of earthly right was the ransom price, which, in due time. at the end of this age he will make over to justice on behalf of “the sins of all the people.” We showed that this has not vet been done. that the world still “lieth in the Wicked One,” and are children of wrath, and that only the church has escaped. We pointed out that the restitution blessings which are to go to the world verv shortly. are not the blessings which we seek who hope to be of the bride-class. and to attain the spirit nature, and joint-heirship with our Lord. We pointed out that the ransom-price, not vet paid over, is in the hands of justice, to our Redeemer’s credit, and that during this Gospel age [4629] he imputes the merit of his sacrifice to all who become his footstep followers. To these he imputes a sufficiency of merit to cover their blemishes that thus their sacrifices may he acceptable. On the basis of this imputation the sacrifices are acceptable with the Father, as saith the Apostle (Romans 12:1), “We beseech you, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ve present vour bodies a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.” We spoke to the dear friends for about four hours, had luncheon with them, and took the night train for Berlin. At Berlin we had a similarly interesting season of fellowship with the friends of the truth. We had a social dinner together—about two hundred. Suhsequently we addressed them for nearly two hours, the topic being the same as at Warsaw. Then came a social tea generally participated in, and later our evening meeting, which was well attended. Many of the friends accompanied us to the railway station, bidding us good bye as we departed for the German Branch office at Barmen. We had an enjovable season at Barmen for nearly two days. speaking to the dear friends for nearly seven hours in all. One service was for the public and was attended by nearly 800, many of whom manifested deep interest. The meetings of the chureh varied in number, as not all were able to attend all the mectings. on account of business and other obligations. Here again we emphasized the Atonement for sin, and showed the work of the Mediator between God and men during the Millennial age to be wholly based upon the meritorious sacrifice of our Redeemer, begun at Jordan and finished at Calvary We pointed out the gracious arrangement whereby the merit of that sacrifice is imputed to us who accept the divine invitation to become heirs of God and joint-heirs with Jesus Christ to the heavenly inheritance, and in the work of blessing all the families of the earth, as the Seed of Abraham. We endeavored to make very plain that the merit of the (190-195)
