worth while to stop and think at the
very beginning of this topic of choosing

can be glorified. If not, IL is obvious that
a Christian should leave il out of the

city, and receive answer in The Star.
37I Why are you now discussing In
The Star about the resurrection of Jesus
when that event should have been treated
six weeks ago and He has now assembled
to heaven?
Answer. Our lessons are appointed by
the international committee. They do
not follow. the church year as laid down
by the Episcopal Church.
31S Why was Thomas allowed TO
touch Jesus John, Xx:l0 and Mary was
not?
Answer Jesus assigned a reason for
refusing Mary's touch-he had not as
cended; and a reason for allowing Thorn
as-to awaken the faith of the latter. In
the first instance Jesus would have been
detained too long. SO preventing the haste
that was demanded in executing Marys
mission. In the other case there was no
need of hurry. and time could be al
lowed TO reach a result.
