WHEN REVILED, HE REVILED NOT AGAIN!

“Blessed are ye when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice and be exceeding glad; for great is your reward in heaven; for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.”—Matt. 5:11,12.

From various quarters come jibes and misrepresentations and bitter invectives against MILLENNIAL DAWN, the OLD THEOLOGY tracts, ZION’S WATCH TOWER and the Editor. We keep a file of these, and wonder how much shame and confusion of face will come to their authors when, very shortly, “every hidden thing shall be revealed,” and the Lord shall make manifest to the world the now secret motives which actuate men in their opposition to truth.

In sending these to us (and we are always glad to receive them), the brethren often express their confidence that we will “reply” on the subject. But, since the WATCH TOWER was started, we have carefully refrained from personalities relating to ourselves or others. Nothing has ever appeared except what we deemed necessary by way of explanation to keep the flock from being deceived,—nothing more; nothing as a defense or bombast of ourselves, nothing of an attack upon others. We attack false doctrines, and, in the event of their being promulgated by well known, public men, we give their names. (As in the case of Dr. Abbott, Bishop Foster, H. W. Beecher, Prof. Drummond, et al.) But we never discuss men, nor personal affairs, theirs or our own. We are—Set for the defence of the Truth, and the overthrow of Error, pertinent to the Gospel; not for self-defence, nor for attack upon others.

Our readers may rest assured, however, that if any criticism be made which in our judgment would need answer, it will be given. The so-called criticisms of MILLENNIAL DAWN so far are merely invectives apparently prompted by malice, which can command neither Scripture nor logic, and can use only epithets. They are worthy only of silent pity or benevolence, according to the standpoint of the writers. The best answer to anyone inquiring concerning such misrepresentations is to hand him a copy of the DAWN to read. That will be answer enough for people desirous of comprehending the subjects.

And we write thus for you, as well as for ourselves; for all associated with the truth bear some of its reproaches (Psa. 69:9), and will in due time share the rewards with our Lord and Head.

Let our watchword be, Onward! in the name and love and service of our King of kings. “Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart.”—Psa. 31:24.

MONEY IN THE MAILS is unsafe; and, besides, it puts too great a temptation before some people. Send by Draft or Money Order.
