serpents; TO love our enemies and
speak evil of no man, The act of
cleansing the Temple was stypical.
The. nominal spiritual temple is full
of money changers" who rob God,
and receive missionary money under
false pretences. 1t has become cage
of unclean birds, though there be ma
ny innocent doves in it. Revelations
1924.
As the 'chief priests and scribes"
were ''sore displeased" with the won
derful things he did, so now we find
some in the antitype who are sore dis
pleased, and are in fear of the message
of the Kingdom to come. My broth
er's complaint about this matter be-
ing forced on printers is unfounded.
Some may not like it, but there is now
over 300 of the leading journal and
magazine publishers who like it well
enough to pay for it and the number
is increasing.
AS for a public joint-discussion
limited at our friend can get it on
variety of subjects by making request
to The Peoples Pulpit, Brooklyn, N.
| Y.
It will be noticed by the close reader
that my opponent has ignored my
plain Scripture statements entirely. /
have not only made an argument, but
mot but the Grace of Cody have
explained his away.
There is one more point that / wish
to make against the dogma of natural
immortality, and that is, it favors the
evolution theory, viz, that man owes
his origin to the lower animals that
he has progressed from protoplasm to
maggot, and from maggot to fish, and
from fish to fowl, and from fowl to
monkey, and from monkey to what he
is, and from what he is he evolves
through death to the spirit plane, be-
comes an angel, or an arch-angel, OF
something, they don't know what.
This is all opposed to the Bible &C
count of the fall, the penalty, the re-
demption, and the deliverance to fol
! low.
As for our Christian attachments to-
, ward an approved character none .car
boast. But like Paul who had got {
glimpse of the divine character, ani
t the risen Lord, we must press tOecdrt
the mark, if by any means we may at
tain to the resurrection, the first res
) direction. And as the brother has ;
bad opinion of me and us, if he want
references I can give him some of tn
+, best in this city, as follows: Gen. W
P. Hall, War Department, Mr.. E. H

S 1 have given much proof on the sub
ject in hand and have plenty more
/ but unless this is explained away, o
S other necessity arises, l will in tn
Z future, Dec volente, write more an
: shorter articles about our hopes-th
t Church's hopes and the Worlds hopes
o 1t is we'll known that two great doc
r trines divide Chrisrendom. One the
q call Election" and the other Sire
J Grace" Those who contend for on

IT al. The election of the Church, til

n Gospel age, and free grace for I'll
re world during the millennial resurrec
m ion age to follow.
o In closing we ask our readers ar
70 our esteemed opponent to consider We
e. the facts shown, first that man has Il
Ii same kind of life principle as that
al all creatures. Second, That man iii
- all creatures has not soul but is
it soul. Third, That his superiority o
he or the lower animals is his better
is ganism, which enables him to thil
es on higher plane, and his hope of
If. resurrection. Fourth, That man
n. therefore mortal. having no preemi
he ence above beast. Fifth, That g
It. and Christ ONLY hath immortalit
We and sixth, 1t is promised to the fat
re full saints. With all due deferer
