quotation was a mistake, for ii die
not show a contradiction the way il
was printed. ] will quote both pas
sages and give this Evangelist CD oi
the Lord all year to reconcile the
same.
This quotation was used in connee-
ton with several others which show.
ed direct contradiction in Christs
own teachings. Isn't ii strange that
my distinguished critic did not have
time to attempt to reconcile the other
passages, but found this little error
an error that will prove a boomerang
to his conception of inspiration. Here
is the contradiction.
Though I bear record of myeslf,
YET my record is true" John VIII,
IA. Il am one that beareth witness
of MYSELF, and the father that sent
me beareth witness Of me" John
VIII, Is.
Now, please notice that Christ says
he bears record OF himself and that
the record is true.
In the 31st Verse of tho Fifth Chap
ter of the same Book quoted above.
(John), this language occurs; IF !
bear witness Of myself. my witness is
not true Here you have the direct
contradiction of the Savior's own
teachings, and Brother Marcus, B. s..
can have all the time he needs TO get
these two passages TO harmonize.
will admit in advance of his further
constipation of iadeas on harmony of
the scriptures that it will be exceed
ingly difficult for persons that have
only been Born once" to see how
both these quotations could be true
want to thank Bro. Marcus again for
so kindly calling my attention 20 this
error and congratulate him on his pro
fciency in the holy scriptures.
Brother Marcus in the further con-
of my citations as to the
of the Savior's words,
has a good deal to say about the
Savior being tempted after his Bap-
tism by John in the River Jordan, but
as the readers of these articles will
observe, he has never taken time to-
tell us which place the Savior went
after this Baptism, to the Wilderness
to be tempted for forty days, or to-
the marriage feast in Cana of Gallilee.
The different writer's have him at
both places at the same time, but no
doubt Marcus with his wonderful in
sight and his gift of Clarivoyance, can
in some way clear up the matter. He
might possibly call up the witch of
Endor," as she seemed to be sue
cess in the case of Saul the first King
of Israel The readers of the Chief
tain will carefully observe, that out of
some 10 or 12 different contradictions
in the Lords own words, which |
quoted, that Marcus did not mention
a single one, but found one objection,
only, an error in copy. | want to pre-
sent to this Pious Parasite another
passage of scripture, and the cancella-
ton of the same and see if he has
time to "Rede the Riddle"
Go not into the way of the Gen
tiles, and into any city of the Samari-
tans enter ye not But go rather to the
lost sheep of the house of Israel" See

Matthew XIV, "a.
The story OF Pauls Concersion
might likewise be a fruitful field for
this Seer to devote his talents The
two accounts of Paul's conversion,
both given by inspired writer's, are
contradictory.

*, 7.
