Answer ia Mr. j. n. 4 oberts .
Creation and n oqnation''
Or
Prove your Foundation.

Thh irst thing Athat we SHAH
notice in Bro. Robert 3 article IN
this, that he complains about his
being limited in education ana ii
poor to subscribe for the C.sGs
SET. But iuorder to get IL, te
will walk two miles on the sab
bath, Aud that he would !i..r IL
come out and see as, but II x
poor to come.
| We thank God that poverty is
no hlndering cause Of receiving
| the Gospel Of the Lord and cav.
1 ionr Jesus Christ ~ Its without
money and without price-So the
poor, as well as tie rich, can
have The Gospel preached u
thAm-s,o Bro. II you lack wis
dom, ask Of God, He is The Great
Educator, he will grant you lib.
lcrally and will not upbiaid. So
DO not think any advantage will
DO taken, on that point, OF you
And as Iol the price of tile sub
scription Of the CREssET you
shall have the CRESSET with your
own name on 1t without money
or price We will give the CEEs-
Set to any one too poor to pay for
it, for il contains in its columns
the Gospel OF Christ SO you see
while we are poor, vet God bless
es US, in such q way that all poor
may read the CRESsET, that
wants to.
And again, il you really want
to come out and see US and
hear the Gospel preached, and
YOU appoint time, we will send
after YOU and you and your fam.
NY can come, if you have a fami-
| ly-So your poverty, ON this
point, shall be nohindering cause
of you not comingott to see US
| would like very much for Won
10 come We will treat v5pe 90
kind that you can { help but 7iiie
us II we are POOR.
The next point that we shall
notice is, u portion of the Head.
ing, which reads: "or Prove
your Foundation And we an.
swer, Our Foundation is God;
Jesus Christ being the Chief
Corner Stone. Please read;
I Aud are built upon the foundation
OK the apostles aud prophets. Jesus
Christ himself being The chief corner
stone;" Eph a--20.
And God S Word the testamo.
ny--As you can read.
=" Search the Scriptures. for in
them ye think ye have eternal life and
they are DIZZY which testify of me, ST.
John SO
And for a portion of His tes.
tamonies on this point, please 90
with us to Gen ~. and let rs
read.
> In the beginning God created the
heaven and The earth
And The earth was without form. and
void ant darknu4a was upon Inc iacc Of
The deep. ,Ani The Spirit of God mov.
ed upon the face OF the waters, tGea. |
l-2)
Now here is orr foundation, or
in other words, the beginning of
the testimonies Of our founda-
ton; on it we stand, For it was
God that said that He created the
earth. and after He had it created
He said that it was without form;
And the reason for us believing
ito be without form after He
had created it, is. just because
God said so.
Now Bro. Roberts seams to
think that it is all right for us to
say that the first chapter of Gen.
and first and second verses teach
us that CREATION ana FoRMA-
TON is not the same, But the
rest OF our arguments, he claims
are all assumptions Those air
the castles, which the Bro. has
/ spoken Of, concerning eur argu-
ments-They are up for inspecs
ton to pubic gaze.--and for the
inspection 81 skepticism at all
