arm amputated; he is buried today in Green

How is that possiblei"
You say that ''the human body changes |
every seven years, and By 20 years Of age
man has had 10 bodies. In the resurrection |
which will come up" You say: "A man |
will die and his body crumble into the dust, |

to ask! Come on and ask them. do not

cemetery. Silence in all the caves Of thu
earth. Silence on the side of the mountain
Silence down in the valleys and far out intt
the sea- Silence.
