Q.-kfndly explain how we are to
! understand Matthew xii, 40, where we
| read-"For as Jonah was three days
and three nights in the whales belly,
| so shall the Son of man be three days
and three nights in the heart Of the
EARTH" yet His body was laid in the
sepueher on Friday, and He arose
Sunday morning, according to st. Luke
xiii. So, 50, which make only two
nights ard three days. 20. ~
Answer.-The Scriptural evidence is
clear and strong that our Lord was
not three full twenty-four-hour days
in the tomb, but only parts of the
three days and nights; that He was
crucifed on the day corresponding to
our Friday afternoon, and arose on
what corresponded TO our Sunday
morning. The showing of the type
that the Paschal Lamb was to be kill
ed sometime during the 14th of Nisan,
and the wave Offering of the sheaf OF
the frst-fruits was to occur on the
10th Neviticus xiii, 8. 6, TO- ID
should settle the matter Tor all. II
agrees with the repeated statements
Il 1OLlnllldllo \ Il A@AtA| ->~AA'f ~
that our Lord rose on "the third daV'
according TO the Scriptures" This
Scripture concerning the flrst-fruits is
The only one which we recall as in any
way pointing out the time of our lords
resurrection. Then, too, the fact that
history. as represented in the tradi-
tions and customs, points out Good
Friday and Easter Sunday as celesra-
tions of our Lords death and resur-
rectlon. should have some weight on
so trivial a matter, unless some motive
or reason for mlsstating the dates can
he assigned. The only Scripture seem
ing 10 oppose all these facts Is the
that our Lord would be
three days and three nights In the
earth: and the only explanation that
can be offered TO this is, that the eT-
preston is used In a general manner.

Q.-What did the inspired writer
mean when he said, Ecclesastes iii, 81,
"Who knoweth the spirit of man that
eoeth upward, and the spirit of the
beast that qoeth downward to the
earth?" If there is any difference be-
tween the spirits of man and beast
would you kindly let me know7 Also
how does one 90 up and the other
DOWN. IN. E.)
Answcr.--In the days Of King Solo
mon. about 1000 r. c., when these
words were written, the heafhen phi
losophers were speculating aud theoriz-
Ing as to the nature Of man. Some sur
missed that man was half human and
half divine and conbended that when
death took place, the divine or spiritual
half ascended up on high and had its
abode with the gods 1t was supposed
by these heather wise men that the
spirit OF man was the intellectual or
reasoning essence OF the being. and
that it lived on when the body died
They also contended that the beasts
were different from men, in that when
they died they went down into the
earth, and that there was nothing that
went up as with man. The sacred
writer. King Solomon himself. was re
futing these theories when he said
"Who knoweth the spirit Of man that it
goeth upward, or the spirit Of the beast
that it goeth downward to the earthT
This was the summing up Of his argu-
ment Of the preceding verses, wherein
he declares that there is no difference
In the death Of men and beasts-"as
the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea,
they have all one breath; so that q man
hath no pre-eminence above a beast"
1t should be noted that the word
breath ana the word spirit in these
verses are from the same Hebrew word
raach which in this connection signi-
fes life. The principle Of life is always
the same whether it is manifested in
man or in animals.
