Proofs:
/. The angel Of God. rightly and
fully translated. told Zackar las, faith
er OF John the Baptist, that his SON
John, was: ITO make ready the Laos
people, not like the professed sover-
eign demos people. body polite, the
unorganized people. especially the
subjects of Prince people to the
Lord" Luke ~. upon which l light
" comment as follows:
1. OF all four different kinds of
people then in Palestine, the angel of
God knew that John was to make dis
oiples to the LORD Of only "the laos
people, not like the professed sover-
eign demos-people, body polite, but
only of the unorganized subjects Of a
prince, getting lately the morgan
lied meaning from Thayer's Lexicon,
anu he so told Zackarias, Johns faith
or, before John was born, because the
angel knew John was to make ready
these laos subjects of a Prince, I" to
Christ as their ''Prince and Savior, I"
Acts 1881, aud of course, If Christ
was to be their Prince. which. He was,
the angel we'll knew that they were to
be subjects of this Prince, and if sub
jects, there was no sort of sovereignty
about them of any degree, neither
limited nor unlimited-not even a
'scrimption' of it, not one whit"
Q. This, in the very nature of
things, is bound to be true, for a
right and free translation of Christ's
own Hebrew words of Himself in
Psalms $3.50, reads thus: "But am a
worm, and not all ish- champion,
mighty, powerful man, and all ish-
people protested to be sovereigns, and
If Christ. the Prince. had no mighty
sovereignty in Him as their Prince, it
necessarily, logically and scripturally
follows that there was no sovereignty
In His subjects under Him, no, not q
vestage nor sign of 1t in them.
3. II John was not allowed to make
ready for or to the Lord, the demos
professed sovereign people, and which
be was not, then it necessarily, logi-
cally and scripturally follows that mo
professed sovereign person .can posi-
bly, bs a subject of Christ so long as
he remains protested sovereign, nor
can be be, so long as he only believes
in that hellish doctrine of Satan.
4. All professed sovereigns. accord
ing to this, and many other Scrip
lures, have to repudiate and abandon
and torsake their sovereignty and join
those who denounce sovereignty be-
fore they can believe, for that is ex-
actly what Acts 17;34, means when it
says: "Howbe certain men cleave
unto him, Paul, and believed" a.
mong which was Dionysius, the Areo
pagite. and a woman named .Damsris,
and others with them," for the Ath-
eni&ns all were professed sovereigns.
including those who joined to Paul
bsfore.they believed, because they had
to in order to believe, as they had, as
a matter Of necessity, to first cleave to
Paul, a non sovereign subject of the
Prince Christ" ere they could believe
unto Christ, for He Himself was sub
ject to His parents when a child, Luke
3 81. which shows there was then no
sovereignty in him, and from the res
direction on throughout all eternity
will Christ, the Son, be subject unto
God, Ger. :ss, and I am sure these
Scripture proofs do clearly show that
there is absolutely no sovereignty
a bout Christ or any of His subjects
people.
s. That Christ Himself, never act
ed sovereignty single time In His
whole entire life is plainly taught by
him in these words: ''And he that
sent me is with me: the Father hath
not left ms alone for 1 do always those
things that please him." st. Jno. g..

subject to God,
q. About four or hve years aftef l
learned Greek there came into my
mind with great force one night after
/ had retired. this passage of Scrip
ture in King James Version: 81
heard another voice, saying, Come out

takers of her sins, and that 70 receive

then promised that next morning,
first thing after breakfastI would read
the Greek text of that passage in or

'people," was and what it meant, in
other words, what sort of people were

it, and so it came into my mind the
next night and then the third night.
