The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1909-07-20

offence in the end, or IN WnaU -
ScripturaIly known as the hav-
asst of the Jewish Age.
So also Spiritual Israel are
now in the end of this Gospel
age stumbling over the Rock OF
Ages into higher criticism, evo-
luton, theosophy, spiritisln, etc.
Jesus, the Rock of Ages, said
unto her: II am the resurrec-
ton, and the life; he that believ-
eth in me, though he were dead,
vet shall he live. y (Jno. 1925.
Jesus said unto her.: Thy
brother shall rise again.
Martha said unto Him Il
know he shall rise again in the
resurrection at the last day. y
(Jno. II: 23-24.)
1t will be noticed Jesus did not
say, Thy brother is not ead;thy
brother is more alive than ever;
He did not say thy brother is in
heaven, nor in any torture cham
Der of purgatory Jesus simply
explained to Martha that the
power of resurrection was vest
ed in Him, and when at the
tomb, He said: Lazarus, come
forth" And we read, "he that
was dead came forth. "-(Jno. II:
43-44.
When addressing recently the
students of Yale University on
the subject of Human Immor-
; tally" from the text: THE dead
shall rise again, "the Rev Lyman
, Abbott is reported to have said !:
Il do not think the dead will
rise again l do not think good
people ever die. Their spirits, l
think, just drop off the body, as
clothing, and they go on to a
higher and larger life. / believe
: they are still with US, though we
. cannot see them, and that they
> are still very interested in what
we do" etc.
y DR.. Abbott is a great scholar
:. yet, his teachings from which
= have quoted is in line with spirit
> ism, which the Bible teaches is
= demonism.
1t is very frank statement Of
what DIR. Abbott thinks or CUES
~ SEES, and had the DR.. desired t.
prove that his text means thu
:" reverse of what it says, it woul'
Z have been necessary only TO
- him to quote (Gen. 4:3) Tho
- shalt not surely die"
= The Rev. DR.. Abbott on anoth
er occasion in a sermon to Harv
ard students, broke away frOr
" the theology which forms tn
~ basis of all orthodox Christians

Bible, but upon science o-calle
and the out-reachings of tn

My conception of the meant

no plainable sense all nature is C
