was looking for Christ to come
FROM heaven back to the earth.
In 1st Corinthians 1T he
speaks of ''WAITING for the
coming of our Lord" How could
Paul go to Christ in heaven and
at the same time wait for Him
to come? Writing to the Col
ossian church, he says: when
Christ our life shall appear,
THEN shall We also appear with
him in glory" Which seems to-
be very plain evidence that Paul
didn't expect to be with Christ
in glory BEFORE that time. In
LIST Thessalonians 1:10 Paul uses
these words: "And to WAIT
for His Son from heaven" In
stead of telling the Thessalonian
saints to go to Christ in heaven,
he told them to WAIT here on
earth and Christ would come
back to them. In 1st Thessa-
lonians 4:16-17 he tells how the
dead in Christ shall rise and be
caught up to MEET the Lord
in the air. Now if those dead
people have already been with
Christ ever since they died, what
is the sense in saying they will
MEET him?
How much more evidence
would it take to convince you
that Paul never expected to go
to heaven at death?
And now few words about
your last point.
You say that Moses, although
he had died more than a thous-
and years before, was with
Christ at the TRANSPORTATION.
Why, my dear sir, you have evi-
IDENTIFY read the scriptures very
carelessly OF you would know
better than that. The truth is
that Moses was not there at all.
Neither the body, soul, spirit nor
any other part of Moses was
present there on that occasion,
and it surprises me that a man
of your sense would make such
a slip as that. Is it possible that
you have never read Matthew
17:9, in which Jesus pointedly
told his disciples as they came
down from the mount that they
had seen a VISION? You cer-
tainly know that a VISION of
a thing is NEVER the real
thing. That was just a little
fore-gleam of the Kingdom of
Christ as it will be in the future,
and it was not real at that time
at all. We have the plain state
ment from the lips of Jesus him.
self that it was only a vision.
j.. What about the vision that
John the Revelator had on the
Isle of Patmos, when he saw all
the wonderful things that are re-
corded in the book of Revela-
ton? Do you contend that all
those things were actually there
before Johns eyes in a LITER
AL sense? You have just as
much right to claim that all the
:: things recorded in Revelation
were LITERAL HAPPENINGS
, as you have to claim that the
! APPEARANCE of Moses at the
} TRANSPORTATION was literal.

order to obtain it, and his prom
ise that all foreign debts of the
Soveit government would be
paid, was never made public,
Bullitt said, because the Presi-
dent would not agree"
Stop and let that soak in.
The President would not agree
for Bullitt's report on the Boil
shevist situation to be made
public.
Why?
Simply because it was not as
unfavorable to the Bolshevist
government as Wilson and COM
pany wanted it to be.
If Bullitt had come back and
said that Lenine had horns four
feet long and could swaller young
babies as fast as they could be
fed to him on a pitchfork, that
report would have been on the
wires before you could say scat.
If he had told that Trotsky had
forked cast-iron hoofs and
steel tail with barbs on it and
eyes that looked like two red-hot
skillet-lids, that report would
have been all over the world in
about the tenth part of nine Sec
ends. If he had told that there
was nobody left alive in Russia
except the Bolshevist army and
three old witches, and that they
lived entirely on dried human
flesh, there amt steel vaults
enough in Paris to have kept
that report locked up.
But because Bullitt's report
showed that the Bolshevist lead
ers were not very different from
other men, that they had sue
ceeded in establishing good or
der, and that they were willing

A VERY CIVIL ANSWER
But a Long Keen Good I'm, Just
the Same.
Glennville, Ca,
Aug. 18th, 1919.


Boomer, N. c. =
Dear Brother:
l am perfectly honest in all
that I preach, but l know that
one may be honest and yet be
mistaken. I believe that the
body is one thing, and that the
soul, or spirit, is another. I base
my belief on the following
scriptures: -
''Then shall the dust return to
the earth as it was, and the
spirit shall return unto God who
gave it. "-Eccl. 1877.
''Fear Him which is able to de-
stroy both soul and body IN
hell. Matt. 1923.
What is your Interpretation
of these scriptures?
I believe that the soul, OF
spirit, lives after the body is
dead. I base this belief on the
following scriptures:
And fear not them which kill
the body, but are not able to kill
the soul" Matt. 1923.
'For [ am in a straight be-
twixt two, having a desire to de-
part and to be- with Christ,
which is far BETTER" (Christ
was in heaven, but Paul knew
that if he departed his body
would become dust. It was his
soul Or spirit that would be with
CHRISTI; nevertheless, to abide
in the flesh Ito have the soul re-
main in the body, and thus for
the body to live) is more needful
for you" Phil. 1924.
If my Interpretation of these
scriptures is not correct, what
is the correct Interpretation?
Moses died and was buried
considerably more than a
thousand years before Jesus was
born; yet he was with Jesus at
the TRANSPORTATION. How dc
you explain this? If you say
that Moses body had been resur-
rected, where is your proof? If
it was not his resurrected body,
how do you escape the conclu-
sion that it was his disembodied
spirit, which could be made Wis
ible, and was conscious, and
could talk?
I am in earnest and want to
know the truth. 1t is too serious
a matter to joke about, and !
shall be very much disappointed
if you give me an uncivil answer
Please don't ridicule me for be-
ing orthodox. Teach me, if [ am
wrong. I like your Millennia
teaching.
Very truly,
w. B. SCREWS.

Ready?
All right.
Away back last winter when
the peace conference at Paris
was just beginning to warm up
and was able to shake one leg
a little, the main question was
what to do with Russia. Bolshe-
vism was in the saddle and
didn't show any disposition to
get down. And all them brave
parlor soldiers at the peace con-
ference were just about plum
scared out of their britches, as
Shakespeare says.
Well, there was a newspaper
guy by the name of William c.
Bullitt hanging around there
with nothing much to do, and
Mister Secretary Lansing sug-
gested to Mister President VIII
son that they send Mister Quill
Driver Bullitt to Petrograd, Rus
sia, to talk matters over with
Mister Bolshevist Lenine and
find out what he was trying ito
do, anyhow, and what terms he
would compromise on.
Well, Mr.. Bullitt very obedi-
entity ambled off to Petrograd on
his appointed mission, and in due
time returned to Paris.
Did he have any report to
make?
Yes, boy.
Did he make it?
He certainly did.
Was that report given out to
the world?
1t certainly was NOT.
A silence so heavy that it
would have taken forty locomo-
tives to move it fell over that re-
port, and that was the last any
body heard of it.
The curtain was down fol
shore-certain.
But, oh, boy!
Just looky!

That makes the spirits of the
WICKED dead go to God, too,
don't it? Then what becomes of
the old orthodox teaching that
the spirits of the WICKED
dead go to HE'LL at death? If
ALL the spirits return to God
at death, then it is a clear case
that none Of them go to the
devil at death.
But wait a minute.
Are we to understand, then,
that the spirits of the wicked
dead go to heaven and enjoy
bliss and happiness there along
with the spirits of the righteous.
Surely not.
Then how are you going to fix
it,
There is no distinction made
between the good spirits and the
bad spirits in the verse you
quote. They simply all return
to God alike.
So if the wicked spirits that
go to God are not enjoying a
conscious life of bliss, evidently
the righteous are not, either. If
there was so much difference in
condition between the two
classes of spirits that return to
God, surely there would have
been something said about it.
In order to make it fit the
modern orthodox teaching, that
verse should read this way:
''Then shall the dust return to
the earth as it was, and if the
man is good man his spirit
shall go to God, but if he is a
bad man his spirit shall go to the
devil"
But you see it don't read that
way.
It don't say a word about any
of the spirits going to the devil.
The plain inference is that
they all go to God just alike.
The spirit is just the breath
of life."
After God made Adams body
out OF the dust Of the ground
He did not add anything at all tc
it except the ''breath of life.
See Genesis 2::7.
Now that breath of life" that
God breathed into Adam was
just the common air that we ali
breathe. But the process OF
breathing common air started
up life and consciousness in
Adam and he BECAME A LlV.
ING SOUL.
| There were just two things te
start with-a lifeless body anc
the "breath of life."
Nothing else was added.
But the combination of those
two things made a living soul.
You notice that the spirit IRE
turns to God who gave it."
Then the spirit must be some
thing that God GAVE to Adam
What did God GIVE to Adam
except his body of dust?
Nothing at all except tn
breath of life.
l challenge the world to pro
duce a syllable of Bible evidenc
that God added anything else t.
Adam except those two things.
There we have absolute proc
that the spirit COULDN'T b
anything else except the breat
, of life.
Now as long as the breath Q
life is in man it belongs t
him, and it keeps him alive.
But when the breath of Iii
| leaves a mans body, where doe
that breath of life go?
: Does it pack up all the man
: conscious mental faculties an
| emotions in a little invislbl
7 suitcase and go Juggling them o
to heaven?
1t certainly does not.
} 1t simply goes out into tn
' common atmosphere. All tn
air belongs to God. 1t is all
part of His infinite estate, so
, speak. And that is the sense
E which it goes back to Him.
