QUESTIONS ANSWERED.

Any person may send any biblical Ques.
ton to DR.. Gilbert. 1903 r street. this
city, and receive answer in The Star.
39S What is the meaning of the term
in Rev. ILL, THE angel of the church OF
Ephesus?"
Answer. The pastor of the church. The
expression occurs several times. 1t was
expected that the message delivered to
the pastor in this way would be delivered
by him to his congregation
800 Is it true that the gospels were
written during the second century of this
era?
Answer. An assertion to that effect
was made by an infidel early in the
eighteenth century, a man destitute Of
character and scholarship. 1t has been
repeated occasionally by malicious people
who desire to weaken the faith. There
is absolutely no proof to support the
statement. On the contrary. 1t is dis
proved by the fact that eminent men. WHO
tlourished early in the second century or
late in the first century-(Clement so to
1907. the author of the epiStle to Diog-
netus tMathetes. 100 TO 300. disciple Of
John (Polycarp 100 to 1900, and his fell
low disciple Qgnatius, 30 to 1O7D-mention
the gospels well known literature in
their time. and they make frequent quo
tations that authenticate the books.
