Dear Sir: have read your article in The
Semi-Weesly Journal in regard 10 the
elder brother and the prOdigal son. ad-
dressed 70 Mrs. ". II. FELTON,. OF Car
lersvilie. Ca. asking her for revision OF
the elder brother. AS I have net seen
your request answered through The Semi
Weekly Journal desire to give you some
scripture in regard to the. same. Cain is
a figure OF the elder brother. and Abel
Is a hgure OF the younger brother ana
Ishmael is a figure OF the elder brother.
and Isaac is 3 figure Of the younger
brother. The sons above mentioned are a
figure OF the inner and outer man. Paul
said the outer man persisted. but the inner
man Is renewed day by day. the carnal
mind is enmity against God, for II Is
not subject 10 the law OF God, neither IN
deed can be. 1t is written that Abraham
had two sons. the one by a bondmaid' the
other by a free woman. but he who was
Of the bondwoman was born after the
flesh. but he OF the free woman was by
promise. Jerusalem which is above Is
free. which is the mother Of us all Paul
said. now we. brethren. az Isaac was. are
the children OF promise. but as then he
that was born after the flesh prosecuted
him that was born after abe Spirit. even
90 IL is now.
The above scripture IS an alegory. which
has a spiritual meaning. or a fgurattve
discourse. or representation. IN which the
words signify something beyond their
literal meaning So is the parable Of
Christ. written by St Luke. 18th chapter.
While the younger son was at his fathers
house he represents a child before IL
knows good from evil When he left
his fathers house. he represents a soul,
that is dead in trespasses and in sins. His
return 70 his fathers house represents a
soul that Is born OF the Spirit. His father

NEW YORK, Jan. 90 Hundreds of Ia
borers employed north of the city on the

Atlanta and the President-Elect

cherished because she could say that she
danced with the prince of Wales (now

pretty trinkets.

In the whirligig OF time fortune fed
