No amount of turning from sin
could give anyone eternal life. None
could so turn from sin as to be per-
feet. hence the necessity for the Saw
Tor When Ezekiel refers to the prov
erb that "the fathers have eaten a sour
grape and the children's teeth are set
on edge" he was stating the general
fact that all human sin and weakness
descends by heredity from parent to
child, and that the matter of recov-
cry is therefore a hopeless one ex-
cept as a Redeemer, separate and dis
tinct from the sinner race. would be
provided And this provision for re-
lease from the weaknesses inherited
from father Adam has been provided
by Jehovah through His Only Begot-
ten Son. the worlds Redeemer.
"Times of Restitution"
In the 10th chapter of Ezekels
prophecy tho declaration is clearly set
forth that In the Divine Plan, a great
restitution is sure to come which will
affect not only Israel and the living
nations of Ezekiel's time, but also the
dead Of all nations. From the 10th
verse onward the Prophet describes
the certainty of Gods promise to re-
cover Israel, to bring them back into
His favor. and that on better basis
than ever in the past Al the same
time the Lord declares, through the
Prophet, that the Samaritans will be
restored and blessed, and that the
Sodomites will be restored and bless

tirelv DESTROYED by fire from heaven.
as the Redeemer declared Il follows
that their restoration must be from the
tomb. from death, hades sheol.
Z The prophecy goes on to declare
that the Lord will not do this because
of any worthiness of the Israelites ol
others. but for His own Names sake
of His own good pleasure. In
other words, this Is the purpos,
which God purposed I'm Himself from
before the foundation Of the world
This is the purpose which He declared
to Enoch. saying that in due tins
Messiah would "come with mYraids oi
holy ones" to establish justice ani

the people. This is the same mes
sage which God declared TO Abraham
saying, "1n thy Seed shall all the
families Of the earth be blessed" This

penalty for sin presented 10 us In

declares that He will not give eternal
life 20 the wicked, but only TO those
who Will turn from sin to righteous
ness. Thus We read, Turn ye, turn
We. for why viii ye die?'. And again,
"He that hath the Son hath life. and
he that hath not the Son shall not

I God abideth on him"-the wrath or

Absorption Process

(From The Homo Makerl

Success has at last come to scien-

effectual method Of removing the
outer facial skin in cases Of unsigatly
complexious which would be both
painless and entirely uon-iuju ious
The new process is so simple The
means so ordinary. so Inexpensive,
the wonder is that no one had dis
covered the same long ago.
IL has been amply demonstrated
that common mercolized wax. to be
had at any drugstore, completely re-
moves, by gentle absorption, all the
withered. lifeless cuticle, showing the
youthful, roselike skin underneath.
The mercolized wax is applied at
night-like cold cream, but not rubbed
in-and washed off in the morning.
The absorption also cleanses clogged
pores, increasing the skins breathing
capacity and capillary circulation,
preserving the tone. color and natura
beauty Of the new skin.

Ezekiel iii-Oct.

~Hear the Word of MY mouth and
give them warning from Me-
Ezekiel iii, II.
Ezekiel ranks amongst the great
Prophets Most realistic were his
visions and powerfully described A
portion of his prophecy was written
before the final serious troubles upon
the kingdom of Judah, which result
ed in the overthrow of Zedekiah's king
dom. The remainder OF the book was
written after the complete overthrow
of the kingdom. The entire prophecy
was given in Babylon. Ezekiel him
self residing there and ministering as
a Prophet chiefly to the captiyes,
arousing their hearts to an apprecia-
tion of their situation and TO a hope
of return in Gods appointed time to
their own land.
II would be a mistake, however, to
suppose that Ezekiels mission was
entirely or even chiefly TO the Jews
of his time. Rather we are to under
stand. through st. Peters statement,
thai he. with other Prophets Of old,
spoke and wrote things which they
themselves and the people who heard
them did not things
which God did not wish to have un-
derstood until after the giving of the
Holy Spirit at Pentecost-things
which would be meat in due season"
for the spiritual lsraelites throughout
this Age.
For instance, when Ezekiel tells tho
people, "The soul that sinneth, it shall
die" he was delivering a truth ap-
plicable to the Gospel Church during
this Age, and a truth which will be
applicable to the whole world during
the Messianic reign, but which was
not applicable to the Jews at the time
of the utterance. Why? Because the
whole world at that time was lying
in the Wicked One; as St. Paul eN-
plains. they were all under sentence
of death already through Adams dis
obedience. Hence they could not be
put on trial for life, individually,
until first they should be redeemed
from the Adamic condemnation.
The blood of bulls and goats could
never take away sin from the Jews; 4;
the redemption could come only IN the
Divinely appointed way-through the
death of the Savior; and the Savior
had not yet come, had not yet brought
life and Immortality to light through
the Gospel. And as for israeis Law
Covenant. il was merely typical OF the
New Covenant Of the future.
