| the Scriptures should be so tortured by
| cDnteudiug srctarians, each to build up his
nwn fhvorIte theory. Luke. 23sd chapter,
iard verse, in the common version, the
comma, after the word thee, makes Christ
! promise tine thief that they would be to

| Niisong said, was Impossible, us Christ
himself did not enter paradise that day
tie called attention to the thief'S petition;
it was hot that he should be received into
heaven OF paradise at once, but that h.
| should be remembered 10y Christ when he
came into HIS Kingdom. The passage
| reads. 42nd verse: And he said unto jesus
| Lord remember me when Thou CONTEST into
Thy kingdom; 43rd verse. Aud Jesus said
unto him, verify | say unto thee, this day.
shalt thou be with Ne in paradise Which
| is the proper punctuation, 1t becomes not
| me to say. 1t shows the Importance of
| correct punctuation. however. The above
| passage, read with the pause after the word
! thee, is promise that the thief should BE-
| In paradise on the day when it was spoken;
| if read with the pause after the word day.
It is a promise made that day that the thief
and Christ would be together in paradise at
some future time; which future time, the
speaker said, would be when Christ re
! turned to earth to Organize HIS kingdom
| He supported his view with !! vast array OF
| SclimuGaI texts from the Old aud New les
tamemts. Paradise he stated. would be on
earth after its renovation. which he alleges
| to be the third heaven mentioned by Paul
| The earth. after the creation. was the first
heaven, which was destroyed by water: the
second heaven continuing TIL the coming
| of Christ and HE establishment of his
| kingdom, which is the third heaven; which,
| If | got the right meaning of his words,
would be restored just as it WAS at the
creation of Adam. These views will hardly
pass as orthodox, but they ought To hold
together. for they were well "nailt wi
Scrinrure.'
