Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some Facts and More Facts About the Self-Styled "Pastor" Charles T. Russell (of Millennial Dawn Fame) Languages, and yet he is successful in making his disciples believe that the most difficult passages in the Old Testament and the book of Revelation are as simple as a sunbeam to him. Pastor Russell was never ordained and has no church amliation. He would not be given a place in the pulpit of any evangelical church on the American continent or any other country where he and his religious views are known. By thousands he is believed to be a religious fakir of the worst type, who goes about like the Magus of Samaria enriching him self at the expense of the ignorant. Years ago he gave himself the title of Pastor and from this many have inferred that he was a properly ap proved minister of the gospel. In 1879, he mar ried Miss Marie F. Ackley, who divorced him a few years ago on the ground of cruelty and of hav ing wrong relations with other women. In court, she proved improprieties between her husband and one Rose Ball. Mrs. Russell is now living at Ava lon, Pa. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
