that new inventions are in progress
which. ere long. will make clothing
wonderfully cheap dirt cheap." sMln-

Ing. The supply is inexhaustible. The
Scriptures declare respecting the d.
vine provision for the human family
during the Messianic reign that "the
earth shall yield her increase" and
'the wilderness shall blossom as the
rose" etc.
From every direction information Is
coming Of new species Of wheat and
corn much more prolific than what We
have been using. Additionally. there is
recently an announcement Of meth
cd Of magnedzlng grains before they
are planted, which will permit the rails
ing Of at least three crops a year In
the temperate zones. Additionally,
nitrogen is being extracted from the
atmosphere and used to enrich the
worn.out soils.
Furthermore, we may >be sure that
He who provided Eden for our first
parents Is abundantly able. as he has
promised, to make Of eartha Paradise.
in which the blessing Of the Lord Will
be upon humanity; and the earth. as
the Divine footstool. shall be made glo.
rious. Moreover. be it remembered
that the Scriptures distinctly declare
that the propagation Of the species is
intended merely for the present time
/ and that those who will attain, in the
New Age. to the resurrection will mel.

The propagation Of the human racefis
intended to proceed only until the
earth shall be filed But over and
above all this. the great Creator,
Whose Plan is being worked out ID
mans creation, mans redemption and
mans restitution, knows the end from
the beginning and is fully able to dc

However, we have nothing to say to
those who mock" at the Divine prom
ise Of a resurrection Of the dead and
who, because Of lack Of faith IN the
Almighty. prefer the vain imagina'
tons of the human mind to the posi-
tive promises of the Creator. We have
merely thrown out some suggestions
helpful to the faith Of those who are
really seeking Divine wisdom and who
are In danger Of being side tracked BY
science falsely so-called." =

teachings we read that abraham

read OF kings, good and bad; and o.
Prophets. Apostles and others. Thus

he tells us that we may comfort our
selves and each other as respects GU
dead friends and nelghbors. that the!
all "sleep in Jesus" and are to b
brought from the dead by Him, TIL
whole world sleeps in Jesus, in tn
sense that their resurrection hope
their hope of awakening in the resuE
rection morning, is based upon th
work which Jesus accomplished as tn

No one will dispute that the Bib
declares that the dead are dSleep. !
