Q.-What Is meant by "Oivtne Kew
lIation"?
Answer.-It is Gods means of max
Ing known to man His great Plan. He
has been pleased to make this known
through His Word, the Bible Much
Of the Bible consists of IA record of
events that took place. The prophe-
cies were written by faithful men Of
God as His Spirit directed them. The
Apostle says. For the prophecy came
not in old time by the will of man;
but holy men of God spake as they
were moved by the Holy Spirit" I'll
Peter |, 2D. Again we read. "All
Scripture is given by inspiration OF
God. and is profitable for doctrine. for
reproof. for correction, for instruction
in righteousness" I'll Timothy iii lf,.
The human mind could not have con
ceived the Plan set forth in the Bible
When Columbus discovered the ORR
nOcO river. some one said to him he
had discovered an island. He replied:
"No such river as that flows from an
island That mighty torrent must
drain the waters of a continent" So
the depth of the wisdom, and the pow
er and scope of the Bibles testimony
convinces the reasonable mind that
not man. but the Almighty Ged. is the
author Of its wonderful revelations.
The Poet well expresses this truth
whence but from heaven could men. I'M

In various ages born and various parts.

Q.-There seems to be many contra
dictory statements in the Bible which
I cannot understand; for instance. we
read, "There is none righteous. no NOT
one" and, "Noah was a just man and
perfect in his generation" How can
these Scriptures be harmonized2
Answer. These Scriptures are in
perfect harmony There is none
righteous" because of the sin of father
Adam. which resulted in sorrow and
death. rendering unsound the minds
and bodies of all his offspring Some
are physically and mentally less sound
than others OF course Noah came natu
rally under death -condem nation, he
cause he was imperfect In N"ah'S time
all the human race. except Noah and
his family had become contaminated
with the stock of fallen angels. as We
read in Genesis vi. l-5 THE sons of
God took them wives from
the daughters of men" and came in
unto the daughters of men and they
|. bare children to them The offspring
Of this unlawful intercourse was
mixed race This was contrary to
Gods will (.Iudp vii Noah however
was obedient to God and refused Ia
mix his seed with that of the fallen
angels and therefore remained per
feet uncontaminated' in his generation
(family relationship. not perfect as Il
man, bu, entirely of the Adamic stock
not mixed seed The Hebrew word
here rendered generation is tdiedor
and signifies descent family.
Q,-When will the Times Of Re.
freshine come from the presence OF the
Lord. spoken by all the Prophets" as
we read in Acts iii. 1921?
Answer YoUl question is one of
deep interest to all peoples. kindreds
and nations Times of Refreshing
mean times Of blessing. and all sane
persons desire the blessings of life,
health, peace and happiness The ApoS
tie spoke these words ten days af er the
ne MT hos In no
same connection he said. He God, will
send Jesus. - whom the heaven must
retain until the times Of restitution of
all things. which clearly shows that
the times of refreshing and of rest
tuition" cannot come until the coming
reign of Messiah. whose reign is for
the very purpose of Judging the world
In righteousness (Acts xvii. 81 and for
the blessing Of all the families of the
EARTH all those who are obedient to
His righteous reign (See Genesis xii.
IA; Corinthians XIV. 252S: Matthew
XIV. 3l-4G, The time between the first

OF Christ. is being selected When
Christ comes for her US He promised
In John xiv. l-3,. then the Kingdom of
