co nd u c t o d the
opening exhibition
in this city of the
Photo-Drama of
Oruntiou. This
Drama is acknowl-
edged by art crit-
ics to be by far the finest production
of moving-pictures rtnd slides ever pre-
sented, and i* to be shown, free to the
public, in all cities and lands through-
out the world, under the auspices of
the International Bible Students Asso-
ciation, of which Pastor Russell is
President. . .
In New York City, in his new $500,-
OOO Temple, two weeks ago; Pastor
Russell presented the Drama for the
first time to houses crowded from pit
to dome. Last Sunday in the famous
Muslc'Hall in Cincinnati he personally
conducted the opening Of the Photo-
Drama of Creation there.
The Photo-Drama of Creation Is pro-
duced In conjunction with remarkably
clear phonographic discourses, which
Lave behind them the forty years of
Bible study by New York's famous
Pastor. By some process never before
attained the phonographs used In this
production have been relieved of th*
metallic sound altogether, thus pro-
ducing the very finest oratorical ef-
fects. It is the wonder today of talk*
Jng-machine dealers in the metropolis.

muni, amr ,
as the voice of tbe talking machine.
Tbe exhibition in In three parts:
Part I traces the creation of the
earth and of man, its king—then his
—fall Into sin and its deafh-punisbment,
the first promises of complete deliver-
ance from tbe penalty, and tbe Deluge
and its causes on to Moses' time.
Tart II points us through tbe types
-to Messiah, the great Emancipator of
the death-stricken race, and the world-
wide blessings His soon-to-be estab-
lished Kingdom will bring. It intro-
duces us to the Heavenly Logos, who
became the man Christ Jesus. It also
shows and explains His sacrificial
work and Hia unwavering faithfulness
in fulfilling the prophecies concerning
Himself, and how His miracles pic-
ture the restoration of mankind during
His Second presence and reign.
. Part III. traces not only tbe suffer-
ings of Christ tbe Head, but also
those of the Church, His Body, prepar-
atory .to their exaltation and conse-
quent glorious work of blessing the
-non-elect for a thousand years—"who-

Pastor Russell yesterday forenoon
discussed that feature of the Produc-
tion ot tiiA
told by Urn rroptietUraleTaha also by'
our Lord-Daniel 12:1.
The great trouble of 1915 will suf-
fice for all time, as says tbe Prophet.
(Paulin 46:0.) There will be no more
war. Then the "princes" of UriuH will
have dictatorial powers, backed up by
tbe spiritual Kingdom—Just what tbe
world needs, but want It dare not
trust to any imperfect men under tbe
prevent reign of Sin and Death.

The time has therefore come for tbe
message of Isaiah -10:1. 2 to be .given to
God's ancient people. Tbe time has
come for the fulfilment of the highest wa
«*reported to have betn a rhampiou
and surely the kingdom has been well
described as "overturned, overturned";
and it Is still overturned, because the
foreordained time has not yet come—
it Is near.
^ 'Times of the Gentiles."
There were <ie«tlle kingdoms in the
world long before Israel became a
monarchy. Ye.t God recognized only Is-
rael tind entered into covenant rela-
tionship with no other nation. But as
soon as the verdict of our text was
given against Israel, to bold until Mes-
siah's Itelgn. then Divine providence
recognized Gentile governments, al-
though not in tbe~salne way In which
Israel hnd been recognized—not as
kingdoms of God. but us kingdoms of
the Gentiles. .. .
Nor were all Gentile nations recog-
nized, hut one great Hue of World-
Empires of several dynasties which, so
to speak, were given temporary or
leasehold privileges covering the pe-
riod of the overturning of Israel's
orown until the time far Messiah's-
ideals of Zionism! He that blessetb
Israel shall be blessed j>f God! ll«
that ccursetb Isruel shall be cursed of
God! Let us all encourage God's an*
tlent people to go up and possess their
bind, as Cyrus did In a figure long ago!
It is not our thought to encourage all
•lews to return to Palestine. Many of
them are. better off where they are at
pretieht wnly those who have faith in
the preci^re promises do we encourage
to go now. Gradually their numbers
will Increase, as faith In the promises
of God returns to tbe Jewish heart
But there is a work in which every
Jew should have a share. If favorably
situated, and unready to go personally,
they should go by proxy—they should
put plenty of money into the hands of
tbe Zionist Manager at Jerusalem. He
jBhould be enabled .to_jssist every
worthy son of Abraham fleeing from
Russian persecution. He should be
prepared to advance money to every
settler to.purchase every foot of land
in Palestine that is offered for sale. He
should be enabled to supply all with
tools, etc. He should have a free band
to do exploits In tbe name of God and
of His Chosen People.
Zionism will prowper, whether or not
Kingdom. Indeed, in portraying these
kingdoms and their lenses of power, It
is particularly shown that their domln-
Messlabs Kingdom will beset up. But
who will have the honor of having
manifested his faith by bis works and
that of Messiah will begin.
Furthermore, Moses prophesied the
chastisement of tsraelrnndirrsymbolic
numbers told that it would last Seven
Times. (Leviticus 20:18, 21, 24. 28.)
The lease of Gentile Times, or years,
is likewise Seven Times. Both began
to count at the same date. Hence both
will terminate simultaneously. When
the lease of Gentile domination ends,
Messiah's Kingdom will by right begin
its Reign: and Israel. "Jacob." will be
associated with' Messiah's Empire as
His earthly people—Abraham. Isaac,

God's Great Kingdom at Hand.
hasThe fault, of Christendom has been
piles us two pictures of the Seven the rejection at She Divine Plan and
Times of Gentile domination of the the acceptance instead of a human
world. One of these pictures was glv- plan of salvation. The^Churcb. It was
en by vision to King Nebucbadnermr, asserted, was to convert the
g_.jfisua_ajid present.ertarsw
to the overthrow of Israel's typical
kingdom and the foretold re-establish-
ment of it at the end (now due) ot the
"seven (symbolic) times" of chaitise^
ment at tho hands of Him whose right
Itis.
His text and discourse follow:
"Bemove tbe diadem, and take off
the crown: this shall not be the>same.
• • • I will overturn, ovsrtum, over-
turn It—until He come wboso right it
is; and I will give it unto Him." <E*e-
kiei 2136. 27.> He said:God established the Jewish nation as
-His representative nation, or kingdom,
in the world, with the understanding
that in some manner and at some time
that nation would be the channel of
Divine blessing.to all the families of
tbe earth, in harmony with the orig-
inal Oath-bound Promise made to
Abraham. After a precarious existence
or nearly mx centuries tbe star of Jew-
ish Empire set and has not risen
afnee. • .
Tbe particulardate at which the typ-
ical Kingdom passed away is clearly
k d b i
y
marked In tbe Scriptures. Tbe solidity
of the Empire in the bands of King
David, and bis son. King Solomon, was
lose in Its division In the days of King
-Jfolomon's successor. Nevertheless.- to
. tbe royal line continued In tbe tribe of
Judah; as it Is written. "The sceptre
shall not depart from Judah, nor a law-
giver front between bis feet until Shi-
lob come.w
-<Jenesls 49:10.
Tbe Lord's coveuanr with King Da-
vid was that Qne from bis seed should
be the great King over the more glori-
ous Kingdom of God. when If should
be established. In other words. Mes-
slab would be of David's lineage. The"
royal family of David's line bad a pro-

after King Solomon's death until Zede-

whole period was represented by a
glorious image, whose head was of
gold, his breast and bis arms of silver,
his belly and his.thighs of brass, his
legs of iron, his feet of iron and clay
mixed. Given tbe pointer that Nebu-
chadnexgar's kingdom represented the
head of gold, any school boy could
show that tbe next Universal Empire
was Medo-Eersia. the third Greece and
the fourth Rome—the feet represent-
ing Rome ecclesiastical, with her
daughters dominating Europe today.
We cannot here go Into details ex-
cept to note that-^in tbe days%t these

God of Heaven promised to set up His
Kingdom—Messiah's Kingdom. This is
symbollxed as a stone cat out of a

that "the'eyes of the blind snail be

Bible students are more and more
coming to see that the Gospel Age is
too time- in which Messiah la spigoting
from amongst men a saintly class, and
is proving and testing th'elr loyalty to
God and to righteousness. These are.

An enormous crowd gathered at
Chester, England, a few months ago
<o witness the funerai of an electrical
nglneer, who was carried to the cera
tery In a coffin that had been labori-
ously constructed by himself out of
4,000 match boxes. These, with their
tops visible and advertising their re-
spective makers, were varfrtahed ever
and strengthened inside with wood-
On the coffin was placed an electric
battery.
Some years ago a maiden lady died
at Calemls-sur-Lys, In France, who
snulT taker. She enjoyed sTnguTafly
good health, retained all her-mental
faculties, and died at a ripe old age.
Her funeral was most extraordinary.
Her wish was that her coffin should
be filled with tobacco, the flour of the
motuary chamber carpeted with it. and
the heir to the property charged to
scatter tobacco before the hearse on
the way to the cemetery.
A lady who left Liverpool some
time ago by the Lucarin crossed the
Atlantic on a^unique mission. Aprom-
inent New York business man, who
died recently, directed in his will that
his remaina should be en mated and
the ashen scattered on the waters of
the Atlantic from a Cunard steamer.
The" Lucanla being the special fa-
vorite of the deceased gentleman, was
selected, and the lady. In ^quostlon, at
a time fixed, so that simultaneously
the family could attend a memorial
service in New York, cast the ashes
from an urn into the ocean. A cer-
tificate was given by the captain of
tbe Lucanla stating the latitude and
longitude in which the ashes were
committed to the deep, according to
the will. . . .
TEETH FILED FOR BEAUTY
Teeth filing as an aid to beauty is
practiced extensively among the adult
males of the semi-savage Bagobo tribe
of the Philippines. Efforts of Uncle
Sam's agents, in the educational and
administrative departments of the
Philippine government, to discourage
this practice have thus far met with
scant success. It is against the policy
pursued by tbe United SUtes in the
islands to interfere in tribal customs
and affairs where they do not conflict
with the laws. For this reason no
actual ban has been placed upon the
practice of teeth filing despite the
fact that not only are'the teeth them-
selves ruined but tbe health of their
owner is frequently Injured through
the liability of the incisors to* decay
immediately the enamel 4s broken.
The Bagobos are descended from the
Malay tribes which invaded the is-
lands at some period in the past and
overran a large part of the archipe-
lago. .

1/VIDE CHOICE >N BUTTONS
Odd Shapes and Colorings Have Been
Designed to 8uft the Costumes
Worn. - _
Th.e new buttons are in odd shapes
and colorings. Squares, hexagons,
pyramid effects, barrel, platter, olive,
bathtub and pear shapes are the nov-
elties. Besides these unusual shapes
there are still tbe ball and half ball
buttons.
Some very striking novelties are in
black glass or crystal with mosaic de-
slgn* In Chluosu colorings. These un-
usual effects* are accomplished by
means of carving, and by painting
the designs underneath the cryata.1.
D&inty__floral designs are_done the
sauiw way. TUMIB rtitmnnr
are even more strikingly emphasised
in the semlball buttons, some of which
are half one color and "naif another,
while others are divided Into as many
as four sections, each of which is In
a different color. Rich burnt orange
tones are frequently used.
Some handsome porcelain buttons
are painted In Persian and mosaic ef-
fects. Among the extremely new ef-
fecst in porcelain and crystal are the
fruit buttons in realistic shapes and
colorings. Apples, pears, cherries,
etc.. are so perfectly designed as to

MEDDLESOME OLDMAN
—By DOROTHEA TH0MP80N. '"'
The/ used to say, when, 1 was a
boy at home, that if I grew tip with-
out being jailed for forgery It would
apeak well for my home training.
However that is. I had a knack of
copying to a nicety any signatures or
addresses that I picked up. I used to
do It for the fun of the- thing, but
"never, even In school-boy crises when
a note, from home would have worked
wonders with a hard-hearted teacher,
did I use the gift to my own ends. Be-
yond, that is, making the boys' eyes
pop at the way I could reproduce their
crude boyish signatures or the more
flowing and flowery ones of the teach-
ers. I'm an old man now, an4< com-
fortably enough off, but what I have
has come to me honestly. I have won-
dered, sometimes, whether the accom-
plishment was still at my fingers'
ends, but—it still Is!
Next to my little four-room bache-
lor apartment Is its twin, a rear flat;
and not so many months ago it was
taken by two girls—gentle and well-
bred, or I'm no judge of character.
The older of the two I had no love
for—a quiet, dark girl, too sober by
far for her years. But, the young one!
I could hear her singing through the
paper-thin walls of the cheap flat,
and I grew to distinguish her voice in
the indistinct murmur when they
were talking. She was as full of
songs and thrills and sheer lightheart-
edness as a bird.
The first time I saw her I thought
to myself that she deserved better
than to be cooped up in a four-room
flui wjih a Sister who wouta i>roDably
be just as happy without her. But
there I was mistaken. Her sister
adored her. However, I discovered
before long that I was not alone in my
opinion of her deserts, and many is
the time I've heard her laughing voice
in the ball enBWurea" tJy~s7
one, and not always the same joe, at
that. . • __ .
But she had her favorite I could
hear the note of real welcome In h.er
voice for one of them—a fine lad, as
deserving of her as ever a man was
of a woman. Tall and strong and
well-born, her choice was easily my
choice, too. I used to pass them in
the hall often on their way to some
merry-making, and she had ever a
bright nod and a word for me. Aid
then, when they came back, mavy't
the time I've" caught the note of ten-
derness in her voice as she -said good-
night 'to him at the door. And he
adored her—one look at him when
they were together would have told

As before .suggesleu. the key to our
problem lies hi tbe Seven Times—the
period of Israel's chastisement and that
of Oentlle lease of puuer. The nieas-
urement in both coses begins at the
time of King Zedekiah'a dethronement,
000 B. C.—A Time is our year; hence
the Seven Times are seven yearn-yet
not literal years, but symbolic; and, as
God declared through the Prophet, aud
fulfilled, each day is symbolic of n
year. (Esckiel 4.-6.) The year Is lunar
—300 days: hence each of the'Seveu
Times Is 300 years; and the Seven
Times equal 2520 years. Now note
that these Seven Times are almost ex-
pired: and hence Zionism Is the watch-
word of all Jews who are trusting still
in the Divine promisee. _

thronement of King Zedeklah. wa have

AUTO PULLS A LOCOMOTIVE
Probably no more remarkable fear
has been recently performed by an
automobile than when the local agent
of a well known car in Los Angeles.
Cal., gave a demonstration of the pull-
inc strength of his machine by attach-
ing it by means of a rope running
from the rear axle of th« car to the
pilot of a 110-ton locomotive, an*
drawing the locomotive along the
track. The start was saaov frosa a
dead standstill aad it waa first thought
impossible to move the groat mass of
iron and steel as the wheels of the
auto slipped badly and the locomotive
seemed to be glued to the track.
After weighing down the car with six
good-sized men. how ever, the tires
took a firmer hold and after a long,
steady strain the wheels of the loco-
motive began slowly to revolve.
The accomplishment of the task ts
testified to by a number of witnesses
who at first declared it Impossible
and 16o¥ed for the breaking "of the
rear axle or the pulling out of tho
entire end of the car.

KEEPING CLEAR OF STAINS
Water Into Which Peeled Potatoes
Have Been Cooksd Is One of the
' Most Effective Helps.
Isn't it annoying to find that a spot of
grease or a fruit stain has been drop-
ped on the front of a new blouse or
dress? On silks and delicate scarfs
these marks can generally be removed
by,this simple method, which I don't

of cold water, and at the end of half

when the sediment has quite settled

For one thing, there was real sympa-

youth. Another was that each of
them had not a little pride, which.

came. But this time I was
pointed. Instead. I heard the boy say
with feigned cheerfulness:
"Good night, Miss Judson," and her
answering "Good night Mr. Carter."
I didn't like that. It sounded seri-
ous beneath the banter. Then the*
boy said soberly,
"Be sure I'll come when you send
for me, Mercy."
And Mercy answered with gentle"
stubbornness. "I'll never write till I
hear from you. Bert" and the door
closed slowly.
Bert didn't know, as I did, that she
stood waiting at the door Instead of.
hurrying down the long passageway;
walled tUl the clatter ot Bert's feet
on the stairs and the slam of the door
proved to her that Bert had really
gone. Then I heard her go back down
the passage, and after a minute she.
began to play the piano. But in a mo*
ment more that stopped with a dis-
cord, and I guessed, though I could
not hear, that Mercy was cryin«.

In winter came a time when my lit-
tle Mercy was sick. A light ease of

through'the door. Really nothing at
all dangerous, only-too ooatafious to
allow her sister to go to aad from
her school-teaching, or even through
the hails. 8o 1 got intp the habit of
bringing up their mall to them, and
every morning there was a letter for
Miss Mercy Judson In tbe same hand-
writing'. I was rather interested in
that-hand-writing; if I had been un-

a mo-
ment of blank silence—then in a voice*
of awe and wonder:
"By jbve, It is! You're right"
"Let's keep It always, dear," Merer
said softly. "We cant quarrel again
after that"
Ah, well. Even meddlesome oldi
