notice that last year and this both
FAR exceed ALI history for money IN the
treasures of churches that claim 10 DC
raised TO save souls and to chrlstlanlze
the world. And then in just the same
two years we learn that more crimes
have been committed amongst rulers
and all classes of people than ever pc
fore want TO ask Mr.. White to
please explain this. If 1.-THE paying
will help the cause of Goo ana save
souls for Jesus, why don't you advo-
Gates get to work and use the money
that is already in the treasury ana stop
hollering for more. 1t seems to me
that anyone wanting to seek for the
truth in Gods highly exalted Book
could see that with more money III Jhe
treasures and more crime OF all soIIs
that money don t save souls nor make
sheen for God, neither does it aid nor
helm the cause of God That alone
takes the spirit and work Of God HIM
self. Now, do you want Inc to put
YOU forth God revealed word to prove
this2 If you do have them IN album
dance.
Now, we learn from Divine truth
that all of God S children shall be
taught of the Lord. Also in Deuter-
onomy we read: "My doctrine shall
drop as the rain. My speech shall dis
till as the dew, as the small rain upon
the tender herb" Now, | believe IN a
supreme God and Savior, and when ne
said love one another he did not mean
for worldly emulations What FOR

Then please tell me about your tltht
paving to help to get all this int
effect. | want to tell you now that 1
seems to me that as an end towards
saving and outstanding the world
that part of the saving end is getting
smaller all the time. Can You tell IN,
why this is? 1t does seem to me tina
