The new dominion. [volume] (Morgantown, W. Va.) 1876-1904, 1881-11-19

died for what does die, that it might
live again by being raised from the
dead through belief of the doctrine
ofthe resurrection from the dead.
Think of Mr.. Ms magnetic entity
dying and being raised from the
dead and then you can understand
the scientific proposition of Mr.. Nj.
immortal soul entity dying and be-
ing raised from the dead; for he has
| placed them precisely on the same
plane. And it is an incontrovertible
fact, attcsted by the word of the
Eternal, that the soul can and does
die, and can and will be raised from
the dead, if it believe and obey the
truth, and, if not, Christ died in vain.
i Cor. XIV. 17-1S. Well might Paul
say the wisdom of this world is fool
ishness with God--1 Cor i. Is; and
its reasonings false philosophy and
vain deceit.
Mr.. nj. says, we will content our
selves by exposing this one of his
| (our) ridiculous errors, and to do so
puts words in our mouth to suit him
self, and then quotes q passage of
scripture that already hasprovcn an
elephant on his hands, and as to
which he has not answered our ques-
ton, but remains as silent as the
grave. Now suppose we had said
that all mortal souls are dead bodies,
all dead bodies are material, there
fore all mortal souls are material. Is
there anything illogical in the form
of the proposition? but # it were IL
logical, can any one not lunatic see
how the words of Jesus, "a spirit
hath not flesh and bones, nc, proves
the proposition illogical or untrue?
What has a spirit to do with dead
bodies? Mr.. NJ. will not deny that
dead bodies are flesh and blood and
material. But what commentary
on the teaching of the Devil, the doc
trinal father of all the genealogical
liars of Andover, Princeton, Bethany,
ct al, who say, "Ye shall not surely
die" but "shall be as gods knowing
good and evil" We term them snch
on the authority Of the Lord himself,
who said to the clcricals of his own
times, "Ye are Of your father the dew
il. He was murderer and liar
from the beginning" His lying the
DRY caused the death of Adam aud
Eve and the identical theory being
taught by the gentlemen licensed to
preach by the aforesaid institutions
are likewise carrying down to death
thousands and tens Of thousands Of
| Adams children.
Jesus raised from the dead was the
first tangible evidence of the truth
which he preached, that "as the Faith
er raiseth up the dead and quicken
eth them, even SO the Son quicken
eth whom he will."-John v. 81.
"And this is the Fathers will which
hath sent me, that of all which he
hath given me should loose moth
ing, but should raise it up again at
the last day."-John vi. 40. After
coming forth the mighty conqucror
over the grave, bringing life and i'm
mortality to light he presented him
self to his disciples as the impcrson-
alton of the truth he taught, but his
disciples not having been led into all
the truth, and having still linger-
ing idea of the. immaterial spirits
believed in them and now, "being
slow of heart to believe all that the
prophets had spoken" were terrified
and afrighted and supposed they
had seen spirit or apparition mot
an immortal soul); but Jesus said
unto them Behold my hands and
my feet that it is l myself, handle
me and see, for spirit hath not flesh
and bones as We see me have:' prov
ing that the subjects of salvation are
not magnetic entities or non entities
or immaterial spirits, as affirmed by
the aforesaid liars, but material bo-
dies of flesh and bones that may be
handled, Christ being the first fruits
Logic is logic Mr.. NJ.
Mr. Nj. next asks us, because we
gave Webster's definition of "as-
sumption whether we will hold on
to him and be consistent. That is
to say, because we accept q state
ment of a man because it is true, and
reject another statement made by
him because it is not true, we are
inconsistent. Well this is fair
specimen of Mr.. Ms. logic through
out, and if he takes any pride in it
let him rejoice.
Mr.. NJ. next informs us that we
make wide mistake in advising him
to return the money he had received
from his congregation; which like
most of his statements as to what
we say, is a downright perversion
AS to what we say, we refer to the
articles themselves, with some few
typographical corrections and words
added inadvertently left out by the
compositor. What we said was, "if
he was clergyman, &C." But either
way it makes little difference; for if
he does not take their cash directly
l understand he is engaged in in
structing others how to pull
the chestnuts out of the fire, by ma
king d. DIS. out of them, if not after
Isaiah's type. "Dumb Dogs that
cannot bark" Isaiah lvi:IO, of
the genealogical order, who doctor
