EVsI since the first falsehood of Sa'
tan in the Garden of Eden there has
been controversy over the nature Of
in the News of June LIST. delivered by
the Rev. e. B. Draper. Our brother
gives some fine illustrations, and takes
his text from Job 14:14; IF man
uie shall be live again." Now. we
don't want to go into a discussion but
Just want some information, and ]
think the brother is able to give it.
He says in part that no man can live
this life intelligently until he has TAX
en- into consideration that he is an inn
mortal being.
Now is man mortal or immortal1
''Shall mortal man be more just
i than Gody' 4:17 Lord, thou
art our Cod. Let not mortal man
/ tmargin) prevail against thee -
Chron. 14:11. Behold, l show you a
mystery: We shall not all sleep. but
we shall all be changed in a moment,
IN the twinkling of an eye, at the last
/ trump, for the trumpet shall sound and
the dead shall be raised incorruptible,
and we shall be changed, for the cor
ruptible must put on interruption,
and this mortal must put on immortal
ity. Then shall be brought to pass the
saying that is written: Death is swal-
| lowed up in victory. Oh, death, where
is thy stingS o grave, where is thy
victoryg"-I Cor. 15:5t55.
"Wbo is the great and only poten-
tate? The king of kings and Lord of
Lords, who only hath immortality. -
/ Tim 6:15-16. Mortal: Subject to
death. Webster Immortal: Exempt
ed from liability to die,-Webster.
We think all men are mortal. Our
brother says in his sermon that the
Bible teaches that all men, whether
good or bad, live beyond the grave.
Now, what means thosa passages of
Scripture?
By what figure does the Bible repre-
sent death?
"But / would not have you ignor-
u,
are asleep, that you sorrow not even
as others which have no hope. ~
Thess. 4:13; Cor. 10, 1920; John
II, 11:14.
Now, where do the dead sleep9
$50 man lieth down and riseth not:
till the heavens be no more they shall
not awake nor be raised out of their
sleep. job 14:12.
Where are the dead when Christ
calls them9
"Marvel not at this for the hour is
coming in which all that are in the
graves shall hear his voice and come
forth. John $3.50.
Peter declared in the day of Pente-
cost that David had not yet assembled
to Heaven, but was still dead and bur-
led. (Acts 2:3-4.) This was more
than a thousand years after David had
fell asleep.
What did David pray?
"Return, o Lord, deliver my soul.
O save me for thy mercy's sake, for in
death there is no remembrance of thee:
in the grave who shall give thee
thanks ''-Ps. 6:4-5.
If a man die shall be live again3
"All the days of my appointed time
will / wait till my change come =
Job. 14:14.
Where does he watt
''If wait the grave is mine house.
I have made my bed in the darkness
Job. 17:13.
Now, will our brother give us his
comment on these passages of Scrip
ture through the News, if convenient?
Crops look very fine in this part of
our state.
