AUNT BELLE" ANSWERED,

not concerned, and threw a sluf at me
about Greek, please permit me to an
swer her thus:
l. I always thought physical death
was simply cessation of life, as
Webster and Gods word define it, but
"Aunt Belle" writes of death as If it
was person or being, with feet, legs
and a grim face, for how else could 1t
be, "grim death seems to stand ever
ready to claim a victim, as ''she' SO
ignorantly, unthoughtedly and wrong
ly says This shows "she" is as ig-
norant of death as of Greek.
2. She again says: "Un0le Tom,
we like to read your letters, they seem
to be written in the right spirit to
which reply as follows: I. l am
sure such personal filings as "Uncle
Tom" in all seriousness made at
Representative" instead of debating
the questions at issue, was not the
right spirit, and which he long did be-
fore I put in. g Am sure it was not
the right spirit to slur the republican
party as "Uncle Tom" did ere put
in. 3. Am sure it was not the right
spirit to charge republican party with
present hard times as he did, when he
we'll knew the democrats had been in
power a year and half, as he did, eIe
put in. 4. Am doubly sure it was
not the right spirit to call Gods in
strumental music with singing, "Fol-
de-rol stuff" as "Uncle Tom SO ig-
norantly, blasphemously and wickedly
did. which brought me into the discus
sion. 5. And lastly, am sure it was
wicked spirit in "Uncle Tom" to so
slur me as he did, with egotism in me,
only because l appealed to Gods di-
vinely inspired, sacred, original Greek
text. Nothing but an ignorant, evil
spirit could or would have caused him
to view the right use of Greek by me,
as egotism in me.
3. "Aunt Belle" ignorantly says:
''It doesn't matter so much about our
understanding of Greek if our inten-
tions are good" to which l reply as
follows: 1. l have, with my concord
ance, gone over every passage of Scrip
ture in which the words intent, in
tend, intended, intendest, intending
and intents, occur, and not one sim
gle passage ever intimates that "good
intentions" will carry us to Heaven,
but on the contrary lots of people
who died with "good intentions"
will be in hell, sure 'tThere is a
way that seemeth right unto man,
{ Hebrew "Eesh. man, the kind Gun
Gle Tom" and "Aunt Belle" are), but
the end thereof are the ways of
DEATH Prov. xvi, 25.) Peter, by the
King James version, is made to apply
the word, intent" to Cornelius,
Acts K, 80, but this 'intent" of Cor
nelius wrought in him to fear God
and to work righteousness to be &C
cepted with God, (Acts x35) and l |
will guarantee that neither "Uncle |
Tom" nor "Aunt Belle,," can tell |
what the fear of the Lord is. If was |
a betting man, l would not be afraid |
to bet million of dollars that neither |
one of them can tell of what elements |
the fear of the Lord is composed, OF of |
what it consists, or what it is, yet &C.
cording to the Bible all sinners have
10 know what it is, and have to pos
sess it ere they can be saved. 3. We
know that neither "Uncle Tom,"
nor "Aunt Belle" will belong to the
hundred and forty four thousand, be-
cause all these harped with their harps
n singing their new song, REV. xiv.
-3) and "Uncle Tom and "Aunt
Belle" don't believe in that. 4. OF
course, ''Uncle Tom and Aunt
Belle" won't belong to the great
multitude which no man could num-
Der of all nations and kindreds
md people and tongues, REV.
10y because all these peoples prais-
ID God in Heaven in Greek, saying,
He soteria to Theo hemon to Kath-
memo cpl tou thronou, kai to arnio,"
% said Jesus to John and John wrote
t down that way, and as "Uncle
Tom" and "Aunt Belle don't, either
me, know Greek, and don't want to
NOW it, am sure they won't be in
bis crowd, and if not in it, am sure
hey will not be in Heaven at all, as
his crowd is the lowest order of be-
ngs in Heaven, and if "Uncle Tom"
nd "Aunt Belle" don't get in as two
( that crowd, they sure will miss it,
ecause this crowd worships God in
Ieaven in Greek, which "Uncle
'om" and "Aunt Belle" oppose and
lur.
4. "Uncle Tom"and "Aunt Belle"
10Th seem to attribute failures of re-
ivals to the use of musical instru-
tents in worship, but 1 find the great
st revival of all ages was when over
OUR HUNDRED THOUSAND Ju-
ahites found God in ONE day, in
onnection with the sound of their
and comets, e Chronicles
v. IA, 15) for it says: 'And they I
wore unto the Lord with loud voice,
nd with shouting and with trumpets
nd with comets. And all Judah re-
bleed at the oath, for they had sworn
