- 0:00Speaker 1: Appendix General Notes, Page fifty titles. In a passage which
- 0:08Speaker 1: forms a part of the Roman canon Law, Pope Innocent
- 0:11Speaker 1: the third declares that the Roman pontiff is the vice
- 0:14Speaker 1: gerrant upon earth, not of a mere man, but of
- 0:17Speaker 1: very God, and in a gloss on the passage, it
- 0:20Speaker 1: is explained that this is because he is the vice
- 0:23Speaker 1: gerrant of Christ, who is very God and very man.

- 1:00Speaker 1: dated fifteen eighty four, the words dominum, deum nostrum papam Our,
- 1:04Speaker 1: Lord God the Pope occur in column one fifty three
- 1:09Speaker 1: in a Paris edition dated sixteen twelve. They occur in

- 1:23Speaker 1: Image worship. The worship of images was one of those
- 1:27Speaker 1: corruptions of Christianity which crept into the church stealthily and
- 1:31Speaker 1: almost without notice or observation. This corruption did not, like
- 1:36Speaker 1: other heresies, develop itself at once, for in that case
- 1:40Speaker 1: it would have met with decided censure and rebuke. But
- 1:43Speaker 1: making its commencement under a fair disguise, so gradually was
- 1:47Speaker 1: one practice after another introduced in connection with it, that
- 1:50Speaker 1: the Church had become deeply steeped in practical idolatry, not
- 1:54Speaker 1: only without any efficient opposition, but almost without any decided remonstrance.
- 2:00Speaker 1: And when at length an endeavour was made to root
- 2:02Speaker 1: it out, the evil was found too deeply fixed to
- 2:05Speaker 1: admit of removal. It must be traced to the idolatrous
- 2:09Speaker 1: tendency of the human heart and its propensity to serve
- 2:12Speaker 1: the creature more than the creator. Images and pictures were
- 2:17Speaker 1: first introduced into churches not to be worshiped, but either
- 2:20Speaker 1: in the place of books, to give instruction to those
- 2:23Speaker 1: who could not read, or to excite devotion in the
- 2:25Speaker 1: minds of others. How far they ever answered such a
- 2:29Speaker 1: purpose is doubtful, But even granting that this was the
- 2:32Speaker 1: case for a time, it soon ceased to be so,
- 2:35Speaker 1: and it was found that pictures and images brought into
- 2:38Speaker 1: churches darkened rather than enlightened, the minds of the ignorant,
- 2:41Speaker 1: degraded rather than exalted the devotion of the worshiper, so that,
- 2:46Speaker 1: however they might have been intended to direct men's minds
- 2:48Speaker 1: to God, they ended in turning them from Him to
- 2:51Speaker 1: the worship of creative things. J meant him. The Seventh

- 5:56Speaker 1: Among the documents that at the present time are generally
- 5:59Speaker 1: admitted to be forgeries, the donation of Constantine and the
- 6:02Speaker 1: pseudo Isidorean decretals are of primary importance in citing facts
- 6:08Speaker 1: concerning the question when and by whom was Constantine's donation forged.
- 6:13Speaker 1: Monsieur Goslain, director of the Seminary of Saint Sulpice, Paris, says,
- 6:18Speaker 1: though this document is unquestionably spurious. It would be difficult
- 6:22Speaker 1: to determine with precision the date of its fabrication. Monsieur
- 6:26Speaker 1: de Marca Moratory and other learned critics are of the
- 6:30Speaker 1: opinion that it was composed in the eighth century, before
- 6:32Speaker 1: the reign of Charlemagne. Moratory moreover thinks it probable that
- 6:37Speaker 1: it may have induced that monarch and papin to be
- 6:40Speaker 1: so generous to the Holy See. Gosslain the power of

- 7:08Speaker 1: Doctor Murdoch the translator points out in a footnote, the
- 7:11Speaker 1: learned Catholic historian Monsieur Labee Fleuri, in his Ecclesiastical History
- 7:17Speaker 1: Dissertation four, section one, says of these decretles that they
- 7:21Speaker 1: crept to light near the close of the eighth century. Fleury,
- 7:25Speaker 1: writing near the close of the seventeenth century, says further
- 7:28Speaker 1: that these false decretals were looked upon as authentic for
- 7:31Speaker 1: the space of eight hundred years, and it was with
- 7:34Speaker 1: much difficulty that they were given up in the last century.
- 7:37Speaker 1: It is true that at present there are hardly any,
- 7:39Speaker 1: though meanly instructed in these matters, who do not acknowledge
- 7:43Speaker 1: that these decretils are false. Florie Ecclesiastical History Book forty four,

- 9:01Speaker 1: sins have been remitted as to the stain and guilt,
- 9:04Speaker 1: and as to the everlasting pain that was due to them,

- 20:15Speaker 1: Efforts to suppress and destroy the Bible. Referring to the
- 20:19Speaker 1: long continued efforts in France to suppress the Bible, particularly
- 20:23Speaker 1: versions in the language of the common people, Gossin says
- 20:26Speaker 1: the Decree of Toulouse twelve twenty nine, which established the
- 20:30Speaker 1: Tribunal of the Inquisition against all the readers of the
- 20:32Speaker 1: Bible in the vulgar tongue, was an edict of fire,
- 20:36Speaker 1: bloodshed and devastation. In its third fourth fifth and sixth chapters.
- 20:40Speaker 1: It ordained the entire destruction of the houses, the humblest
- 20:43Speaker 1: places of concealment, and even the subterranean retreats of men
- 20:47Speaker 1: convicted of possessing the scriptures, that they should be pursued
- 20:51Speaker 1: to the forests and caves of the earth, and that
- 20:54Speaker 1: even those who harboured them should be severely punished. As
- 20:57Speaker 1: a result, the Bible was everywhere prohibited. It vanished as
- 21:01Speaker 1: it were underground it descended into the tomb. These decrees
- 21:06Speaker 1: were followed for five hundred years by innumerable punishments in

- 21:39Speaker 1: interpret the slaying of the two witnesses in the eleventh

- 25:45Speaker 1: mister William Canton of the British and Foreign Bible Society,
- 25:49Speaker 1: all the Bibles extant in the world, in manuscript or
- 25:52Speaker 1: in print, counting every version in every land, were computed
- 25:55Speaker 1: at not many more than four millions. The various languages
- 25:59Speaker 1: in which the Thus those four millions were written, including
- 26:02Speaker 1: such bygone speech as the Meso Gothic of Ulphilas and
- 26:05Speaker 1: the Anglo Saxon of Bede, are set down as numbering
- 26:09Speaker 1: about fifty What is the Bible Society, Page twenty three,
- 26:12Speaker 1: Revised edition, nineteen o four. A hundred years later, at
- 26:17Speaker 1: the close of its first centenary, the British and Foreign
- 26:20Speaker 1: Bible Society was able to report a total distribution of
- 26:23Speaker 1: Bibles testaments or portions thereof by that society alone to
- 26:28Speaker 1: the number of one hundred eighty six million, six hundred
- 26:31Speaker 1: eighty thousand, one hundred one, a total that in nineteen
- 26:34Speaker 1: ten had grown to upwards of two hundred twenty million
- 26:37Speaker 1: copies in nearly four hundred distinct tongues. To these totals
- 26:43Speaker 1: must be added the millions of copies of the scriptures
- 26:45Speaker 1: or portions thereof in many languages, distributed by other Bible
- 26:49Speaker 1: Societies and by various commercial agencies. The American Bible Society,
- 26:55Speaker 1: the greatest of the daughters of the British Parent Society,
- 26:59Speaker 1: during the first nineth ty four years of its work,
- 27:01Speaker 1: reported a total distribution of eighty seven million, two hundred
- 27:04Speaker 1: ninety six thousand, one hundred eighty two copies see Bible
- 27:08Speaker 1: Society Record, June nineteen ten. According to conservative estimates, about
- 27:14Speaker 1: six million copies of the Bible are printed annually by
- 27:16Speaker 1: commercial houses, which, added to the combined output of the
- 27:20Speaker 1: Bible societies, gives a total yearly circulation of more than
- 27:24Speaker 1: fifteen million copies. The scriptures, in whole or in part,
- 27:29Speaker 1: have been printed in more than five hundred distinct tongues,
- 27:32Speaker 1: and the work of translation into new languages and dialects
- 27:35Speaker 1: is still carried forward with unflagging zeal page two eighty eight.
- 27:40Speaker 1: Foreign Missions. Doctor G. P. Fisher, in a chapter on
- 27:44Speaker 1: Christian missions in his History of the Christian Church, outlines
- 27:48Speaker 1: the beginnings of the missionary movement, which in the later
- 27:51Speaker 1: years of the eighteenth century ushered in a brilliant era
- 27:54Speaker 1: of missionary activity, an era which in the history of missions,
- 27:58Speaker 1: is only less remarkable than the first of the Christian ages.
- 28:03Speaker 1: In seventeen ninety two, the Baptist Society was founded, with
- 28:06Speaker 1: Kerry as one of its first missionaries. Kerry sailed for India,
- 28:10Speaker 1: and there, with the help of other members of the
- 28:12Speaker 1: same society, founded the Mission of Serampoort. In seventeen ninety five,
- 28:18Speaker 1: the London Missionary Society was founded. In seventeen ninety nine
- 28:22Speaker 1: there was formed the organization which in eighteen twelve became
- 28:25Speaker 1: the Church Missionary Society. Soon afterward, the Wesleyan Missionary Society
- 28:31Speaker 1: was founded. While the missionary activity was growing up in
- 28:34Speaker 1: Great Britain, the Christians of America were becoming animated with
- 28:38Speaker 1: a like zeal. In eighteen twelve they founded the American
- 28:42Speaker 1: Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, and in eighteen fourteen
- 28:46Speaker 1: the American Baptist Missionary Union at an Iram Judson, one
- 28:51Speaker 1: of the first missionaries to go out from America, sailed
- 28:53Speaker 1: for Calcutta in eighteen twelve and reached Burma in July
- 28:57Speaker 1: eighteen thirteen. In eighteen thirty seven, the Presbyterian Board was formed.

- 29:11Speaker 1: an article published in the Missionary Review of the World
- 29:14Speaker 1: for January nineteen ten, declares a half century ago, China
- 29:19Speaker 1: and Manchuria, Japan and Korea, Turkey and Arabia, and even
- 29:23Speaker 1: the vast continent of Africa were sleeping hermit nations locked
- 29:27Speaker 1: in the cell of long seclusion and exclusion. Central Asia
- 29:31Speaker 1: was comparatively unexplored, as was Central Africa. In many lands,
- 29:35Speaker 1: Satan's long occupation was undisputed and his empire unmolested. Papal
- 29:40Speaker 1: countries were as intolerant as pagan Italy, and Spain imprisoned
- 29:44Speaker 1: a man for daring to sell a bible or preach
- 29:46Speaker 1: the Gospel. France was practically infidel, and Germany permeated with rationalism,
- 29:53Speaker 1: and over a large part of the mission field the
- 29:55Speaker 1: doors were shut and locked by a more or less
- 29:57Speaker 1: rigid exclusion and caste system. Now the changes on every
- 30:02Speaker 1: side are so remarkable and so radical, that to one
- 30:05Speaker 1: who should suddenly come out of this middle period of
- 30:07Speaker 1: the last century, the world would be unrecognizable. He who
- 30:11Speaker 1: holds the keys of the two leaved gates has been
- 30:14Speaker 1: unlocking them, opening up all lands to the messenger of
- 30:17Speaker 1: the Cross. Even in the Eternal City, where a half
- 30:20Speaker 1: century ago a visitor had to leave his Bible outside
- 30:23Speaker 1: the walls, there are Protestant chapels by the score, and
- 30:26Speaker 1: a free circulation of the scriptures. Page three, twenty seven

- 34:26Speaker 1: Adventists made robes with which to ascend to meet the
- 34:28Speaker 1: Lord in the air was invented by those who wished
- 34:31Speaker 1: to reproach the cause. It was circulated so industriously that
- 34:35Speaker 1: many believed it, but careful inquiry proved its falsity. For
- 34:39Speaker 1: many years, a large reward has been offered for proof
- 34:42Speaker 1: that one such instance ever occurred, but the proof has
- 34:45Speaker 1: not been produced. None who loved the appearing of the
- 34:49Speaker 1: Savior were so ignorant of the teachings of the scriptures
- 34:52Speaker 1: as to suppose that robes which they could make would
- 34:54Speaker 1: be necessary for that occasion. The only robe which the
- 34:57Speaker 1: Saints will need to meet the Lord is the righteousness
- 35:00Speaker 1: of Christ. See Revelation nineteen eight, page three, seventy four.
- 35:05Speaker 1: The Chronology of Prophecy. Doctor George Bush, professor of Hebrew
- 35:10Speaker 1: and Oriental Literature in the New York City University, in
- 35:13Speaker 1: a letter addressed to mister Miller and published in The
- 35:16Speaker 1: advent Harold and Signs of the Times Reporter, Boston, March
- 35:19Speaker 1: six and thirteen, eighteen forty four, made some important admissions
- 35:23Speaker 1: relative to his calculation of the prophetic times mister Bush wrote,
- 35:28Speaker 1: neither is it to be objected as I conceive to
- 35:30Speaker 1: yourself or your friends, that you have devoted much time
- 35:33Speaker 1: and attention to the study of the chronology of Prophecy,
- 35:36Speaker 1: and have labored much to determine the commencing and closing
- 35:39Speaker 1: dates of its great periods. If these periods are actually
- 35:43Speaker 1: given by the Holy Ghost in the prophetic books, it
- 35:45Speaker 1: was doubtless with the design that they should be studied
- 35:48Speaker 1: and probably in the end fully understood. And no man
- 35:52Speaker 1: is to be charged with presumptuous folly who reverently makes
- 35:55Speaker 1: the attempt to do this. In taking a day as
- 35:58Speaker 1: the prophetical term for a year, I believe you are
- 36:00Speaker 1: sustained by the soundest exegesis, as well as fortified by
- 36:04Speaker 1: the high names of Mead, Sir Isaac Newton, Kirby, Scott, Keith,
- 36:08Speaker 1: and a host of others who have long since come
- 36:11Speaker 1: to substantially your conclusions on this head. They all do
- 36:15Speaker 1: agree that the leading periods mentioned by Daniel and John
- 36:18Speaker 1: do actually expire about this age of the world, and
- 36:21Speaker 1: it would be a strange logic that would convict you
- 36:24Speaker 1: of heresy for holding an effect the same views which
- 36:27Speaker 1: stand forth So prominently in the notices of these eminent divines.
- 36:31Speaker 1: Your results in this field of inquiry do not strike
- 36:34Speaker 1: me as so far out of the way as to
- 36:35Speaker 1: affect any of the great interests of truth and duty.
- 36:39Speaker 1: Your error, as I apprehend, lies in another direction than
- 36:42Speaker 1: your chronology. You have entirely mistaken the nature of the
- 36:45Speaker 1: events which are to occur when those periods have expired.
- 36:49Speaker 1: This is the head and front of your expository, offending
- 36:53Speaker 1: page three ninety nine prophetic dates. See note for page
- 36:57Speaker 1: three twenty nine, Page four ordive A threefold message. Revelation
- 37:03Speaker 1: fourteen six and seven foretells the proclamation of the first
- 37:06Speaker 1: angel's message. Then the prophet continues, there followed another angel,
- 37:11Speaker 1: saying Babylon has fallen is fallen, and the third angel
- 37:15Speaker 1: followed them. The word here rendered followed means in constructions
- 37:19Speaker 1: like that in this text to go with little and
- 37:23Speaker 1: Scott render the word thus to follow one, go after
- 37:26Speaker 1: or with him, Robinson says, to follow, to go with,
- 37:29Speaker 1: to accompany any one. It is the same word that
- 37:33Speaker 1: is used in Mark five twenty four Jesus went with him,
- 37:36Speaker 1: and much people followed him and thronged him. It is
- 37:39Speaker 1: also used of the Redeemed one hundred forty four thousand,
- 37:42Speaker 1: where it is said, these are they which follow the
- 37:45Speaker 1: Lamb whithersoever he goeth Revelation fourteen four. In both these
- 37:50Speaker 1: places it is evident that the idea intended to be
- 37:53Speaker 1: conveyed is that of going together in company with so
- 37:57Speaker 1: in Firs. Corinthians ten four, where we read of the
- 37:59Speaker 1: children of Israel, that they drank of that spiritual rock
- 38:02Speaker 1: that followed them, the word followed, as translated from the
- 38:05Speaker 1: same Greek word, and the margin has it went with them.
- 38:09Speaker 1: From this we learn that the idea in Revelation fourteen
- 38:12Speaker 1: eight and nine is not simply that the second and
- 38:15Speaker 1: third angels followed the first in point of time, but
- 38:18Speaker 1: that they went with him. The three messages are but
- 38:21Speaker 1: one threefold message. They are three only in the order
- 38:24Speaker 1: of their rise, but having risen, they go on together
- 38:27Speaker 1: and are inseparable. Page four forty seven. Supremacy of the
