L
of age, when dlsgusted at the presence OF
two warts, L took q red hot iron ana ana
burned them off and burned them OUT:
Since then my body has changed at least
a half dozen times, but those scars prove
it is the same body. We never lose our
identity. If God can, and does sometimes
rebuild a man five, six ten times IA ms ms
world, is it mysterious that he can repu!l1
him once more and that in the resurrection
do it eleven times. Then look at the seVen i
teen-year Iocusts. For seventeen years
gone. at the end of seventeen yG iG ti Ie,
reappear and by rubbing the hind ies
against the wing make that rattle at
which all the husbandmen ana the Vlne
dreSSers tremble as the lnSectal most ''t tfn
up the march of devastation. E.eSurIectl'h
everv seventeen years a wonderful fact!
