THE HIRED MAN

have received from Payette this
week the following batch OF ~ church
questions. 1 will answer them one by
one:
Why don't Christians wash each
others feet as Christ did," 1t is be-
cause the Christian world has depart
ed from the teaching of the early
church. Christ said we ought to keep
up that practice and the Hired Man
thinks we ought to be doing what
main reason that we do not do it is
80
rs it right to baptize infants7"
Read your Bible very carefully on
the subject and 60 by what you find
on the matter therein. might tell
you it is right, or might tell you it
is wrong, and that would only be
what man was saying about it.
Take your Bible with a concordance
in it and look up the words children,
babes. infants, baptism, baptize and
sin. and read it all up carefully and
you will be able to answer your own
question
If practicing spiritualism is
wrong, why did Samuel talk with
Saul after he had been dead over a
year? You should always remember
that what those old fellows did two
or three thousand years ago is no cri-
terion for us to 60 by now under this
present dispensation. Samuel knew
that he was doing what God told him
not to do. 1t is always safe to let
alone that which God says let alone.
l doubt not that spirits might COM
municate with our spirits while we
are yet in the body, but it will not
come through some old immoral lying
hog that charges so much per spirit.
WAS i right for Samuel to kill
AmeleckT think Ameleck had
come to his dying day and as no dis
ease had been sent to do the job, and
as God had told hip many times to
look a little out, | take it that Samuel
did the thing up brown. Old Ameleck
ought to have been put out of COM
mission few days before, as you re-
member. The day does come when it
is a bio Improvement for certain men
to face Gods wish, face to face.
Samuel understood that he had the
upper hand in that deal, and he did.
10
why was the serpent erected in
the wilderness" This is a long story
The lsraelites had gone bad. They
got to the place where God and
Gods wish were nothing to them.
God had to bring them to tow some
way. He Matched out millions of ser
penis and made them have a perfect
mania for biting those disobedient
folks. God then told Moses to put
up brazen serpent on pole and ev-
cry man bitten who would look upon
that brazen snake should get we'll of
the snake bite and all the other bitten
ones should die. 1t turned out just as
God says, and remind you that
things do always turn out as he says
they will
Moses for one sin was not permit
ted to enter the Promised Land. What
about US" There Is food for thought
in this question. One sin unforgiven
will always stand against US here and
hereafter, for just what it is worth. If
you get an eye knocked out here, il
will stay knocked out there. Any
thing that God does is done forever.
Moses bet that he could do that sin
and get by with it and he lost his
bet. Many man here and now bets
that he is cute enough and sly enough
to get by. but on his deathbed he has
visitor that others see not.
o.
What constitutes bishops" The
world is full of bishops that have no
Bible standing. The bishop of the
Bible is any man that God has ordain-
