VOLUME BOOMER; NPRTH CAROLINA, MAY, 1918. NUTtlBEE 10 JUST SOME COMMENTS. Well, folks, I am just going to talk some. I am going to fill this issue of Good News largely with running comments on the happen ings of the day, considered in their relation to Bible prophecy So many folks are cranky about prophecy. Some go to one extreme part of the people to stop in their mad rush and dc some thinking. They are, wondering what it all means? nyhow. Some of them are asking, 4 4 What if olpV man Russell was right, after all? What i f this is the end of Gentile times and; the beginning of a new dis pensation?" And to all such ques tions there is only one answer- will never see it. It will all be as different from what the orthodox folks are looking for as day is different from night And that's why they are so befuddled about the things that are happening now. The old-line preachers and A. LI . Jit L ' teaciiers: are au an sea concerning h' momentous events of The Prodigal Son. We are all familiar with the sto ry of the Prodigal Son in the New Testament,; but it has a meaning that very few people have thought of; We know the sense in which it isr usually imdersto and it means that. But rt; also means more. It is a perfect illustration of the Children of Israel and their days.
