they come? 1t is spiritual, a spirit,
has not body and parts. How will it
look? Impossible TO imagine. Now
are we the sons of God, and it doth
not yet appear what we shall be.
Many physical changes will take
place. Meats for the belly. and the
belly for meats; but God will de-
stroy both it and them. We shall
neither marry nor be given in mar
riage. but be as the angels of God.
Two words studied and used by the
scholars will help US here: 1st, an
thropology, science of the human
body. science of man; End. anthropo-
morphism: 1st, representation o. De-
ity in human form or with human
attributes; End, ascription of human
attributes to things not human. We
read of Gods hand, feet, eye, etc,
while He is a Spirit, without body
or parts. We speak of His repent
ance, yet He declares He cannot re-
pent. Wrath, repentance and all
such as refer to passion and human
form, speaking after the manner of
man, are considered motions in the
mind of God which in man would
imply a change, but He is the same
yesterday, today and forever, of one
mind, and none can turn Him. He
declares that fury is not in Him, yet
He is angry with the wicked. He
cannot grieve, but how are we to
understand this in His word: "Oh,
that there were such a heart in
them!"? oh" is an interjection used
to express grief. All expressions
seeming to refer to changes In our
God are properly understood when
we remember that His supposed
changes are based on the actions of
His creatures.
Read Ezekiel, Chapter 1S. See
Jonah: Yet forty days and Nineveh
shall be destroyed" See Sd Chapter,
10th verse: "And God saw their
works, that they turned from their
evil way; and God repented Him of
the evil that He said He woul1 do
unto them: and He did it not" He
will visit the iniquity of the fathers
upon the children upon them that
hate Him, provided the children COM
nit the same sins their fathers did,
(see first part of 18th chapter of
Ezekiel) to the fourth generation,
showing mercy unto thousands of
them that love Him and keep His
commandments. The soul that sim
neth,it shall die. A just God is He.
Now, just how we shall move
about without feet or wings or do
without hands or see without eyes
or eat without mouths or hear with
out ears or sing without a tongue,
etc, l can't conceive. 1t seems we
shall move as quickly as thought.
Well, let this satisfy US: we shall be
like our Christ and see Him as He
is. That is just as good as l want it;
satisfied with His likeness.
Oh, glorious hope! Oh, blest abodeI
, / shall be near and like my God.
And fiesh and sin no more control
The sacred pleasures of the soul.
Hallelujah! What Saviour!

Henry, August 25. ,,4
PS. Was it chance, or did we do
wrong? Last November my bride
was going to surprise our faithful
editor with a gobbler for Thanksgiv-
ing. | showed our label put US on
piece and a gobbler would put us
ahead to '15 or '16. and while we
were waiting to decide what we
would do, the gobbler sickened and
died. l am undecided what to con-
clude. 1t would have been very
wrong to send a sick turkey, if we
had known it, and it might have
made you sick if you had eaten it
without knowing it was diseased.
The question is this: Did God kill
the turkey because we did not send
it? Are we guilty Of keeping back
a part of what we could do. or was
it chance that happened to US, or
did l do wrong in stopping ship
ment? We are sorry you did not get
the turkey and still more sorry to
know that we had put off a sick one on
you. How can we decide? / will try
and do this-I will club The Record
and State for another year if my
foot doesn't slip. | guess that's
about as good as | can do for the
present. Best wishes. T EJ.
