wages of sin would be death-the ex-
tinction of life. Satan contradicted
this and falsifed to Mother Eve, assur
ing her that there would be no death
penalty. Satan and his fallen angels
have insidiously sought to perpetuate
his lie by telling US that when ouI
friends appear to die they really be

cepting their testimony we have been
doing what the Apostle cautioned Us
against giving heed to seducing spir

Blind and Deaf We Were.
Even when we had in our hands the
Word of the Lord we made it of none
effect by believing Satan's lie When
we read in the Scriptures that the
wicked shall perish. that all the wick

by the seducing spirits into interpret
ing perish and destroy to mean ever
lasting life in torment. 1t is wonder
that Christian hope could be held at
all under such an avalanche of error.
Those who triumphed down through
the Age. we may be sure. were upheld
by the precious promises of Gods
Word. which negatived their fears and
led them often to say. Alas. we do
not understand it; but we trust the
Lord, that He will do right.
Now. as the dawning light of the
New Dispensation increases. we per
ceive more clearly where our mistake
was. Bible students the world over
are beginning a fresh study of Cod
Word in it's own light. and are receiv-
ing the oil of joy instead of the spirit
of heaviness. Now they see the Res
direction Hope. and perceive that it is
based upon the fact that Christ died
for all; that the First Resurrection will
be for the sanity few who have fol
lowed the Masters footsteps: that il
will be to Il higher than human nature
to the Divine nature: and that these
glorified ones will be Sharers in Mes

assures us that He will make all things

The Masters declaration that He
would ultimately make all things new

US by st. Peter. He declared thai
