! over the first wife's portrait upon tn,
walls of the girls bedroom.
Whose wife is she?
Christ replied you do not know tn,
scriptures or the power of God" H.
went on to explain that sex is al
earthly matter and that marrying j.
a temporary matter, and that If
Heaven nothing of this sort ever en-.
tiers. There it is unknown.
| | once stood by dying man whose
wife watched his every breath. The
rider on the pale horse could now be
heard crossing the viaduct and sweep
ing in under the conduit The gentle
breeze in the leaves on the boxelders
near whispered the immediate ap-
proach of death. The wife looked
from the dying partner of her sorrows
and said, when that man dies am a
free woman" She had the eternal
question settled to her own salts
faction. If she were ever to live
again with that spirit it would be far
out away from God amid the doomed
and condemned. She was through so
tar as she was concerned. If there
were law of the eternals that would
bind her anew and again to the wretch
who had made the sorjourn here a
life OF lust and mental drudgery and
servile slavery to mans ignorance
and selfish animality. she was ready
then and there to register a good
strong remonstrance against having
it applied to herself. He died and
was buried, is about all that can be
said for him, but if that gladdened
woman has ever had desire to live
hereafter within three million miles
OF her destroyer, she has kept it
strictly to herself. -
Whose wife is She?
| am we'll acquainted with several
second-mated who are. apparently
happier now than before. Out of res
pect for their present lover they rarely
ever bring up the matter of their for
mer marriage. Every picture that
could we'll be molested has been re-
hung and adjusted so as to fit the
present surroundings. One of the
bravest and most necessary proffers
OF the new wife or the new husband
is to offer to go to the grave of the
former mate and there render some
loving service. Wait until you are
asked to do this and then 20 freely
and lovingly. You can proffer your
company to the grave of a former
mates child, and thus invite the most
heart-searching journey ever made.
Then allow no mistaken sentiment nor
erroneous idea of eternal things to
Illustrate you in your plain and earthly
privilege. Go and do the right thing.
Whose wife is she?
There is a natural body and there
is spiritual body. The spiritual body
is the resurrected body. This body
has no sex. 1t has a memory of its
former sex relations and sex fact.
Children in Heaven whose sex played
no part in their earthly life will have
10 memory on that score and will re-
,all none of those experiences that
parents here have had only to have
aiken away from them. The innocent ,
:hild who enters Heaven will have his
measure filled with joy, but he or she
Who has been ladened with sex and
IS incidental worries and foundations l
Who has successfully kept it within {
he bounds of bible discretion. will ,
lave far more exceeding weight of
,lory. 1t is dangerous thing to be
vell-sexed, for sex is a matter of the s
arth and the flesh, and never enters Ic
he portals of Heaven. The sex tt
bought brings up all the difficulties !;
n connection with second marriages :.
nd creates all the fears of family
roubles in Heaven. ..--"' t
Some persons of considerable brain c
'ower and thought force have err +
oneously supposed that there is no
esurrection and they base their con-
ention upon just the subject brought
p by these inqusitive Saducees. They n
opposed Heavenly joys would be 2
estroyed when ones first husband
act up with her second husband. or
ne third, as the extreme case might
e. The earthly side of the marriage
uestion was logically settled in their
Kinds, for the best people on earth O
'ere marrying after certain time re-
trictions had been thrown about the Il
olemnity incidental to the whole az
air from first to last. They would :,
ather destroy the resurrection than j
, eliminate the privileges of the S
resent life, not knowing the power c
God nor the teaching of God on j..
lis vital subject. In this they have :.
cen as all otter directors to the teach II
lgs OF the Christ on any subject; they II
ave sought to establish their own c.
ghteousness after having DESTROYED :,

No matter what may be the final n
,iation in Heaven, it remains a fact n
;cording to the scriptures, that we IL
