"iolinnie's Difficulties" Reviewed. Questions ia Question Box-,ncEc- ment Weather Had No Effect on Attendance at Christian Church.

In spite of 1he indictment wealth CT, the Christian church was well filled Tuesday evening to hear the continuation of Johnnie''s Diff culties.
 Mr. Haddock gave a few minutes to the question found in the ques- tion box and then turned the meeting over to the Old Farmer and allowed him to explain the situation to the young man. 1t seems that on Monday night he had commenced reading the New Testa- ment and had discovered that they were still offering sacrifices and that the priesthood was recognized here, although the Farmer had as- sured him that all those things had been done away with. So he be- came more anu more confused. He also found the Savior washing his disciples feet, but found that the churches were not practicing if, so he begs the old man to explain these problems if it be possible to do sO
 Then the Farmer says that the first four books of the New Testa- ment are really one book; in other words, they are the life of Christ written by four different authors, and it is owing to what man means by New Testament as to whether, or not these books are a part of it, or whether they are the last will and testament of the Lord Jesus Christ The book of Matthew cannot be considered entirely new, because Jesus said, CT came not to do away with the law, but to fulfill it." He came not to destroy the law, but to live under the law, and so the law was still in vogue in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. The priesthood was still in force because the new law had not yet been given.
 The Farmer said that the New Testament really begins with Acts of Apostles. He explained that in the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John we find a record of the life of Christ and that during His life and ministry He was preparing His will that He selected twelve men to be- His eXecutors; and that to one of them, Peter, was given the privilege of opening the will at the proper time. He said when man makes a will today and turns it over to his lawyers, it is not opened, nor are the terms of that document carried out until after the mans death
 And so the first sermon that was ever preached in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ was preached on the day of Pentacost, an account of which is found in the second chapter of Acts of Apostles. But Johnnie was not yet satisfied, because he said if the Gospels did not belong to the New Testament or will, that would cut out the Lords Supper.
 The Farmer, however. pointed out that Jesus when instructing his disciples said:
 Whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth, shall be bound in heaven; and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth, shall be loosed in heaven. meaning by this that when the new covenant took the place of the old; when the church was built. (for Christ said, Upon this rock, Cor confession) l will build my church."D whatsoever these disci- ples found necessary to bind upon the church, would be recognized in heaven; and whatsoever they should see fit to leave loose, would also be sanctioned in heaven. Therefore we find, for example, the church everywhere keeping the or dinance of the Lords Supper, but not practicing the washing of each others feet.
 The old man then explained that the Bible was library containing 66 books, and it depended upon what a man wanted to know as to which of these books he should read. If he desired to learn abo"f the creation of the world, read Genesis: but if he wanted to know how to become a Christian it would
