ministry were called of Him they
would preach the pure Gospel and
the signs Of Mark. :15, 20, would
follow the believers, for he that Is
sent Of God will speak Gods word,
and will not preach for money and
divine for hire; but when the heaps
of homemade teachers would fill the
pulpits they would deny the gifts
of God as being any long for the
people and also tell the people that
God Himself had ceased to talk to
the human race, and thus by decep-
ton they would keep the people In
the dark until they would both fall
into the ditch. 4
Is. 1t not a potent fact that if the
college professors Of this country
we're as far from a unity today as
the religious prof essors they would
loss their seats tomorrow?
< Why do mot the laymen demand
that the professors come to unity
on what the Gospel really is or cease
to hire them any longer. +,
IL the laymen' Is convention were to
do that today there would be a; pub
lic notice sent broadcast tomorrow
Tor asclergynan,s convention. and IL
would continue in session until the
majority got up some kind of q creed
which they would at least agree to all
preach, but if that new creed were
the pure Gospel Of Christ would the
mass Of the people obey it? will
Just say right here that i have suf1i-
tcient faith In the honesty OF the lay
man today that II his leaders were
trying to lead him in the right d.
rection and he could see that they,
were more anxious for the salvatio
OF his soul than for the loosening
converting Of his purse strings, he
would cry out as of old: Men and
brethren, what, must I do to be
saved?" And then when the leaders
were allsspeaking the same thing the
old Jerusalem Gospel. the honest in
heart would all receive the truth;
Goods word u, andtthe ilayman would
then be far better acquainted with
|thesways Of God than he is today.
Why not then do as is advised in
,Jer. :16: Stand We in the ways,
and see, and ask for the old paths,
where is the good way. and walk
therein, and ye,. shell find rest for
your souls" But under the present
system Of ut does mot matter what
you believe as long as you are hon
est and sincere" they will continue
to say, relative to the above. COM

II God has not spoken to- the peo-
pie OF this earth since the last reve-
1ation In the Bible, Is it not surely
time He did speak and bring all this
terrible confusion to an 5endg
~ Il he did not speak to any person
and used him as prophet Ike unto,
men of old, would the present relig-
tous teacher turn the ears Of the peo-
pie toward him or from him?
lis It not true that the people
known as the Reorganized Church OF
Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints say;
that God really has set up his king
dom in this age as In former times
and that he does reveal himself as In:
former times and they invite all peo-
pie out to hear and Judge for them-,
selves, but instead Of being advised;
from the pulpits OF the world to 10.
and investigate, they are advised to
stay away2 Though q real servant
