MT. Editor: Can MT. Capell explain St. Pauls words in I Corinthians, If: S3 to 35? Now, understand by all Il read in the Bible. that the Lord did not elect women as apostles or as the sev- enty, and Jesus loved them too HeI loved Martha and Mary as we'll as their brother Lazarus. The Lord never ap- pointed the women as speakers in the church, and we have no authority to do differently. I, at least, always think the Lords plan is best, when I begin to doubt His ability to run the church here I would also doubt His ability to run Heaven. It is for. us to walk in His path. not to get a path of our own Gas many seem to do and have done) and ask the Lord to walk in our path Now if there are any women preach CTS or teachers who can answer or give any other light on this subject we would | be glad to hear what they have to say | for the paper isn't the church and we can speak outside of the church, but I think these verses are very plain and easy to understand. Here are the verses: Verse B, For God is not the Au- l thor of confusion. but of peace Gas in | all true churches). Verse 34, Let your women keer silence in the churches | (that is plain) for 1t Is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are com manded to be under obedience. as also saith the law. Verse 35, And if they will learn anything let them ask their husbands Cor brothers in the church) at home for it Is a shame for woman to speak in the church (that is plain isn't it?) 36: What? Come the word of God out from you? or came 1t unto you? 37, If any man think himself to be a prophet. or spiritual let him ack- nowledge that the things I write unto you are the Commandments of the Lord. 3s, But if any man be ignorant let him
 be ignorant.
 Now my idea Is that man is ignor- ant, according to his own will and in- clination. There are many who don't want to see the truth as set forth in
 Gods word. They prefer to be worldly wise; they think their own wisdom is above Gods. I believe this is meant by the verse last quoted. So God lets then continue in that way until they have in.
 clination to be taught of Him. Ths last verse of this chapter says Let al , things be done decently and in order , There has been so much disorder ant confusion in nominal Christendom that don't wonder the people are blinded tt the great truths of this great and mos
 interesting of all books Gods Scienc, . | or Truth book, the Bible). I believ, : when one consecrates his will hi ! strength. his all (God takes no less) {.
 God. and tries his best to walk in tn,
 Masters footsteps. then he is borl
 again. He Is born into Christ. afte
 this spirit has entered into him. W 5 also know that this same book says : There are none righteous (perfect), n not one, but those who have by sacri ? flee of their all entered into this cove nant with the Lord. are covered by HI , robes of righteousness (The imported Z. tions of the flesh which are not wiIfu n are so covered).
