Blood" and redeemed by the
Blood" But we have never
heard anything about being
washed in the Flesh and Bones"
or redeemed by the Flesh and
Bones" 1t is always just the
Blood and nothing else.
This may be a new thought to
some of you, but it is a fact that
the resurrected body of Christ
did not have any blood in it, but
it did have flesh and bones, for
he says so himself. When he
came to the disciples in the clos
ed room they thought he was a
spirit, and to prove to them that
he did have a literal body, he
said, "Touch me and see, for a
spirit hath not flesh and bones
as We see me have"
He also asked for something to
eat, and actually ate it in their
presence. And all this was done
to prove to them that he DID
have a body. Of curse it was a
spiritual body Capable of ap-
pearing or disappearing at willy j,
but it was more than a mere
spirit. If it wasn't literal flesh
and bones, then Jesus certainly
did sorter stretch his blanket, as
the saying is. [ have great re-
spect for Pastor Russell's opin-
ion on most things, but somehow
it is easier for me to believe
Christ's own statement that he
DID have a body Of flesh and
bones than to believe Pastjr R IS
sells statement that he didn't.
He certainly left the impression
with those disciples that he had
a literal body of flesh and bones:

CONCERNING THE KINGDOM

Lear GlE. |
Many people believe that the time
is at hand for the setting up of
Christ's Kingdom on earth. Some of
the best Bible students in the world
believe with Pastor Russell that the
dawn of Christ's earthly reign began
'tthe organizing and construction work
ofthe same) in the year 1914, as pre-
dcted by Pastor Russell in 1890. There
is much evidence that Pastor Russell
was right. The Jews are returning
and organizing as a nation. The
Great War started in 1914, opening
the way for the fulfilling of prophecy
by the return and organizing of Israel
i n the land of their fathers. The
Times of the Gentiles" have evidently
expired. This is the day of restitu-
tion-the gathering and blessing of
of the whole house of Israel. Then,
If we are entering the reign of Christ,
the question comes to our minds, how
will he reign, what form of govern
n1ent, and how differed? Will he rule
as an Emperor with a great army by
force, or by common consent under
q Theocratic government, after hav-
ing established just and righteous
laws? Will he organize his kingdom
with the same officers, gifts, powers
and blessings that he put into his
Church or Kingdom in the beginning
of the Gospel Di~spensation? If so,
may we look for a government by the
power of the priesthood as in the day
when a lie to Gods High Priest would
cause instant death? The above is
written for information only. Will
the editor of The Fool-Killer please
give us an article on the above ques-
ton when convenient?

Dear Friend Eden:
Your questions are very reas.
enable and very interesting, but
I am, afraid there is not anybody
living who can answer them fol
certain just yet. AS is always
the case concerning any grea'
question, there are different
opinions about it, and perhaps
one is about as liable to be RICH
as another. Bible students have
Just lately begun to realize witt
any sort of clearness that there
is to be a Messianic Reign at all
and it is perhaps too early to ge
all the details yet. These thing'
come in their "due time" and w
will have to wait patiently unit

It is unfolding very rapidly thes'
days, and we shall soon see NOR

good man, and a very wise in
