unto me both in Heaven and in Earth"
 Jh. 2s:ls.
 Having thus noted the oneness and
 likeness of the doctrine of Christ and his apostles, and in the sending of them We will proceed to note the vital
 ness, principles and unchangeability
 of this doctrine. To Titus the apostle
 Paul writes, Speak thou the things which become sound doctrine" Titus
 2:l. and 10 Timothy he whites, Take heed unto myself and unto the doct. rine, continue in them. for in so do- ing this thus shalt both save myself and those that hear thee" Titus 4:l6.
 Paul wanted these young men, preach. CTS. to thouToughly understand that
 close adherance to the doctrine of Christ was the means of salvation, both to themselves and to those whom they might teach. They must take ! heed to the doctrine of Christ.
 Turning To the sixth chapter Of He brews We find that Paul has set forth the principles Of this doctrine in the first two verses. They are six in mum. Der: ] Faith; Repentance; Bap- tisms; 1 Laying on Of Hands: Res urection of the Dead; Eternal Judg-
 ment. These are called the "prin- ciples of the doctrine of Christ" by Paul and each one is vital, and essen 1 tial to the whole To remove one principle would ruin the entire doe Urine. This Is emphasized by Paul in | Gal. l:6-9. when he calls down an i athena upon man or angle who seeks
 10 peryert the gospel or doctrine of Christ. and by John who shuts out all the substitutes or tinkerlng of this doctrine by saying, "Whosoever trans. | gresseth. and abldeth not in the doe trine Of Christ hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ. he ] hath both the Father and the son If there come any unto you and bring
 not this doctrine, receive him not in 10 your house neither bid him God speed Jh. 1911. Hence no one may
 need err in the doctrine of Christ. To
 abide in 1t Is 10 have and know God
 and Christ. and that is to have eter-
 nal life as shown by Jh. l7:3 and IT,
 5:l2. And Christ says we can know of the doctrine by doing his will;
 abiding in his doctrine. Read Jh
 7:17. To attempt to be saved by @ per. yerted doctrine or by another doctrine would put one with the thieves and the robbers Jh. 1G:1.
 h complying with the doctrine of Christ one comes first to the principle Of faith. and to show how necessary We quote. without faith it is impos- sible to please him. for he that con- eth to God must believe that he is, c rewarder of them that diligently seek him" Heb. 1l:6. And in seeking him diligently, after exercising faith, one must comply with the principle of repentance. In regard to it this is among that which is written, Jesus
 began to preach and 10 say repent, for the kingdom Of Heaven is at
 hand Matt. AIT. To fully comply
 with the principle of baptisms one must note that 1t Is plural. Two bap- tisms, one of water and one of the spirit In support of this Peter says:
 Repent and be baptised every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins and ye shall receive the gift Of the Holy Ghost" Acts. 3;3S as also Jh. l:33. In re- ceiying the gift of the Holy Ghost one must comply with the principle of the Laying on Of the Hands. In connec- AtNlIOu NlAU tAlS bLdltultHl NG bud4l notice this scripture, Who, when they were come down. prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost Then laid they their hands upon them and they received the Holy Ghost" Acts. S:15-l7. simon, an obser- yer of this ceremony, saw that thru
 the laying of the apostles hands the Holy Ghost was given. Acts SIS. This is also shown in Acts 1916. So by the obedience of the first four Drin- ciples of the doctrine of Christ, one receives the gift of the Holy Ghost" which Is to testify Of Christ, to guide the possessor into all truth, the right way. To reveal the things Of God to him. It is comforter, a guide, as
