QUESTIONS ANSWERED.

northwest. this city, and receive answer
IN The Star.
1896 1t appears that Jesus after baptism
went up straightway out of the water.
Does not that prove that immersion Is
the true mode Of baptism?
Answer. 1t is not the purpose to discuss
in these columns matters in dispute
among evangelical Christians. for all Of
whom and their opinions there is great
respect There is abundance Of good
literature on both sides of the baptismal
question. which has been handled with
ability by many scholarly men. No one
will hastily reach a conclusion where such
opportunity is offered for an exhaustive
treatment Certainly. no one could
pect here any offhand answer that would
be of any value. The trouble is that few
believe anything. and a much smaller
number know what and why they believe.
397 Why is the last book in the Bible
called Revelations? Is not the whole Bible
a revelation from God?
Answer. The word revelation signifies
the disclosure to human apprehension OF
matters not otherwise movable 1t Is
applied to this particular book because IL
is so designated at the beginning (Rev.,
I'D, and because it's contents pertain to
matters beyond the ability of man to dis
cover by his own unaided powers. The
other books contain some things of this
nature and in 50 far they are revelations.
but they contain also much other matter
of an entirely different sort. There are
in the Bible historical, poetical, legal and
biographical matters, and these are not
reve. ations, although the amount of dis
closure of the unknown is sufficient to
make the book, as a whole, Revelation
