OF escape for. the millions OF humanl.

uselessly In UNRELIABLE anguish to all
eternity. However, the Lord willing.
il Is my Intention TO discuss this SUBJ
iect in general Mass Meeting to
Christian people of all denominations
on Sunday. March 6. So many Of you
as desire to attend will be welcomed
on that occasion. We will then seek
for the Scriptural Explanation of these
dOctrlnes-FurgatOry and He'll.
Summing up, then, we find that
Lutherans would have nothing to lose
by Federation nothing to surrender.
Except little pride. Episcopallans
likewise will find Federation to cost
them little. They can we'll afford to
join the Federation, especially on
terms upon which they insist-the rec
ognition Of the apostolic succession.
And this they can afford to concede in
its very mildest form. realizing that it
has never specially advantaged them
anyway and is impossible of demon
stration. In view of the fact that the
Scriptures declare that there are but
twelve apostles Of the Lamb and SYM
bollcaly show only q twelve-star
crown to the Church during this Age
and only twelve foundations to the
New JeruSalem-the Church in glory.
How then could bishops either possess
or give apostolic blessings? Revela-
ton XII, ]: xxi, I'D
Omitting the Catholic church, being
assured from the Scriptures that she
will not be member of the Fedora
ton, we conclude by advising the Prot
estant Christian Communions discuss
ed today not to be content with Fed
Grafton. but to so the entire length OF
housekeeping all their pet ideas and
acknowledging as fellow Christians
and fellow-members of the Body Of
Christ, the Church. all who acknOwl-
edge Jesus as their Savior, their Re-
deemer, and who turn from the ways
OF sin and to the best OF their ability
walk In the path OF righteousness, and
who make full conservation Of them
selves to the Lord. These are and
ever should be ONE in the most abso-
lutte sense possible, both now and be-
yond the veil.
