WHAT WILL YOU DO WITH JESUS
BY Apostle 4. 9. Resell il,

1t is generally conceded that the
more highly people become educat-
ed the more nearly they come to a
unity on the various arts and sci
ences Of the present world; for ex-
ample, take one hundred men and
send them to one hundred OF our
most up-to-date colleges and when
they obtain the highest diplomas
grantable by the colleges they will
come to a unity ON the most difficult
problems of mathematics or any
other real science. The question
may then be consistently asked,
why so? The answer is quite appar-
ent. There is no standard book on
any Of these Of higher origin than
that produced by man himself.
Therefore. when men follow the true
rules of the science they are study
ing they are bound to come to a uni
ty, and there Is no birth today in the
minds Of seekers for scientific truth
that cannot be satisfied, when that
science pertains to the things Of this
world.
Why then are there said to be in
the science Of religion in the world
today sixteen hundred and forty
five ways to heaven, no two Of them
alike, yet all said to be right, and
many say that ut does not matter
which one Of these the seeker for
salvation travels on, he will get to
the unity with the rest of the human
race II he Is only earnest, honest and
sincere"
I ask, would that kind of logic (?)
go in the science Of mathematics?
Would it not be as consistent for one
public school of this city to teach
that the war OF 1912 was fought in
1812, while another taught the date
to be 1882 and the third taught It
1845? How long would the people
stand for that? yet we expect the
professors to teach US real logical
truths while we are young, but when
we get what is commonly called
religion. we are expected to throw
away al; logic and accept that which
lis causing Christianity to be the
laughing stock OF infidelity. White
Roman Catholicism says that PROT
Iestantism Is mass OF silly contra
dictions.
Who can solve this conundrum?
i. II 1t takes all the so-calIed
Christian churches unitedly to form
tbs real church Of Christ. can q per-
#scn be saved by uniting with any
thing less than the wncle number?
2. IL 1t does not matter what you
believe why ask. any person to
change his present belief, Sor why
are the churches changing their
creeds? \ (, h ,. 4
8. AT this moment have many
creeds upon my desk, no two being
alike. Several say that God has fore
ordained q certain number to be eter-
naly saved while He has foreor-
dained all the rest Of the church peo-
pie and heather as well as infdels
and Jews to be eternally burned in a
lake OF fire and birthstone, but Of
recent years they have revised the
Oldest Of them and put in the new
doctrine Of all who die in infancy
and all others beyond the reach OF
the outward means Of grace are re-
generated and saved by Christ
through the Spirit. :,
The old creed said all unbaptized
infants went to hell TO burn forever.
and their hymn book had In It there
are infants in hell not q span long
Now they have all gotten out, and SO
