| short of the glory of God.--Romans

And others of the same kind that
might be given. You were interest
ed in giving the texts that supported
your view, but you didn't want any
thing said about the texts that op-
pose your view. That isn't the way
to do. We must learn to look at all
sides and balance the evidence and
see what is the most reasonable posi-
tion to take.
Now let me show you something
that you have evidently not noticed
The first scripture quotation you give
is Phil 2:5-8. Of course you
thought that was strong point, but
you didn't know what could do to
it. Now watch me:
You quote FROM the old King Jim
translation, which all Bible scholars
today admit is very faulty, and this
very passage you have quoted is one
Of the faultiest places in it. In fact,
it is so glaringly wrong that I don't
see how anybody with common sense
, can fail to notice it.
| (5) Let this mind be in you, which
was also in Christ Jesus:
/ (6) Who, being in the form of God,
thought it not robbery to be equal
with God.
(7( But made himself of no reputa-
ton, and took upon him the form of a
servant, and was made in the like
ness Of men;
(9) And being found in fashion
as man. he hunrbled himself, and
became obedient unto death, even the
death Of the cross.
Verse six is the bad one. Read
it over again and see what idea it
conveys. Then read verses seven
and eight and see what idea they
convey. How does the thought of
being "equal with God" harnonize
with the thought Of utter humility
and servitude expressed in the follow
ing verses? And how does it harmo-
nize with the third verse? "Let each
esteem others BETTER than them
selves"
Can't you see that something is
wrong? Well, the trouble is in the
, translation. The men who made the
King jim version were nothing but
mere men, and probably not very good
nor very wise men, either. Anyhow,
they simply fell down on that sixth
verse.
In recent years number of new
translations of the Scriptures have
been made by men who were in every
way better equipped than the King
Jim translators. It must be remem-
bered that all the most ancient and
valuable Greek manuscripts have
been discovered SINCE the Authoriz-
1 ed Version was made. They had only
4 a few manuscripts to work from, and
q none of them were more than 400
! years old. But no less than l.
] 500 Greek manuscripts have been dis.
$ covered since that, and some Of thcm
reach back to the third century A
T D.. and among these are the thsee
e oldest and most valuable Of all
the Codex Sinaiticus, now in Petro
- grad. Russia; the Codex Vaticanus
in Rome, and the Ccdex Alexandrinus

sin. Listen: If there is no man lives
without SHINING after he has been
converted to the Truth, then there
is no man going to inherit eternal
life, because Gods Word says, "He
that conl1nitteth sin is of the devil"
I John 3:8. He says the Son of
God was manifested that he might
destroy the works of the devil. Also
Paul says in Romans 6:1-2:
"What shall we say then? Shall
we continue in sin that grace may
abound? God forbid. How shall we
that are dead to sin live any longer
therein?"
He says in Romans $40:
"And if Christ be in you, the body
is dead because Of SIM"
And many other Scriptures could
quote on the same line showing it is
out of the question to be a Christian
and sin all at the same time
AS far as perfection is concerned,
we are commanded to be perfect as
Jesus himself. And if you don't know
what that command is, it is to put
On charity, which is the bond of per-
fection. Now you can't afford, sure
II, to kick against man who be-
lieves i'll living perfect Christian life.
You know Jesus says, "Be ye per-
feet, even as your Father which is
in heaven is perfect"
You spoke about Adam being per-
feet. Adam was perfect as far as
| committing sin was concerned, be-
cause he had no knowledge of sin until
he disobeyed God. He had the same
flesh and blood as you and | have
If he had not had, why then he
! wouldn't have been tempted to dis
| obey God So Adam was no more
| perfect than a little child is today,
! who has never come to the age of
accountability. We are all Adams
one time in cur lives; but we must
repent of our sins and forsake them,
else there will be no mercy for us.
| Now as to the purpose of Christ's
coming to this world, in the likeness
| of sinful flesh, you said few words
about that, but | must say that you
are sadly mistaken in your idea
| Christ died for us, and in what way
did he die? He died unto sin. He
lived sinless life in this world. Now
listen: He is our model. He came
to this world to point out a way fol
US to go, in order that we may be
saved if we would go that way. Now
| am going to prove to you that this
lis true:
"For even hereunto were ye called
| because Christ also suffered for us
Ileaving us an example that We siaoule
follow in his steps"
/ Jesus says:
"For I have given you a example
that ye should do as have done t.
you."
In the second chapter of First Jolr,
lit is said:
"He that sayeth he abideth in hin
ought himself also to walk as h
', walked"
Il Here is another, if we believe tn
!, precious promises of everlasting lif
In happiness, where there Is no pain
> | sickness, sorrow, death, OF anythin!
like that. He says:
4 "And every mann that hath thi
. hope in him pur;fieth himself even
: las he is pure"
/ Now what are you going to say
The fool-killer., 1922-05-01

our past sins by works, but by faith
in Jesus. Well, do we make the law
Of none effect if We believe? Just
believe and go on SHINING? Is that
It? No, by no means. He says we
establish the law. In what way do
We establish the law? BY following
IN the footsteps of Jesus and doing
what he tells us to do. If we do
what he tells us to do, we will not
sin at all.
Now just one more thing to discuss.
You wrote: "God is a reasonable God,
and when a man does the very best
| he can under the circumstances he will
not be condemned.'
That statement is all right, minus
the circumstances" as there is no
circumstances" mentioned in the
| Bible. Paul said:
! "In all these things We are more
than conquerors through him that
loved u.s."
In all what things? In all the
things which you included in your
| circumstances
You said that what a man sinned
| through the weakness of the flesh
it would not be set down against
him. Now let me tell you there is
no provision made in Gods word for
| the weakness of the flesh. Here is
some Scripture on that:
"What the law could not do in that
it was weak through the flesh, God,
sending His own Son in the likeness
Of sinful flesh, and for sin condemn
| ed sin in the flesh, that the right
eousness Of the law might be fulfilled
in US who walk not after the flesh
! but after the spirit
/ Now it says in one place (Gal. 81
| that the flesh lusteth again the spirit
, | and the spirit against the flesh, sc
you cannot do the things that ye
Wculd; but if We are led by the spirit
ye are not under the law. He says
: that the works Of the flesh are adult
, cry, fornication. uncleanness, idolatry
hatred, and the like. But the fruit
Of the spirit is love, joy, peace, long
) suffering, gentleness, kindness, faith
5 and such like, against which there
| is no law.
. Now when our fruits are such tha
there is no law against them, where
; is the sin? There is none, for "sil
: is the transgression of the law" {
: John 81. Consider these points care

Another Sermon
on Holiness

Some time during the shank end
Of the winter | received lengthy
communication on the subject of
Holiness from one Of my near neigh
bors, Mr. Claude Carlton, of Boom
eT, n. G. It was intended to be an
answer to my Sermon on Holiness
i'll the January issue of this paper.
The communication is Well-Written
and just about as strong and convinc-
ing as anything on that subject could
be. But still it is one-sided, as all
such arguments are apt to be- He
gives all the scripture verses he can
find that seem to support his belief
In Holiness, but ignores a great many
that clearly teach the exact opposite

Boomer, n. c.
Dear Sir:
| received several sample copies
Of The Fool Killer for January, and
looking over it to see if | could find
anything that would interest me, I
saw @ piece headed, GA Sermon on
Holiness" That did interest me very
much, and | read it carefully. Yes,
[ am interested in anything of that
kind-that is, anything on the subject
of eternal salvation of the soul.
Holiness is a thing we must have
if we see the Lord, because the Bible
says, "Without holiness no man shall
see the Lord"
You didn't say thing about what
true Holiness is, in the sermon, but
applied it to a certain class of people.
AS we differ On some things you
spoke about in your sermon, will
make a reply to it, and | want you
to print my letter in The Fool-Killer
this month.
Now [ don't believe in going around
and telling that I am a good man,
and that l am doing the Lords will,
specifying the good things that I do,
etc, and then live an ungodly, selfish
fife. Of course | believe there is
what you would call religious fools,
not having knowledge enough to know
what they are doing. But now let's
get down to business. You seem to
think that a man is not required to
live sinless life in this world. But
listen to me: the Bible teaches that
We must live a sinless life here in this
present world if we are to inherit the
precious promises which God has
given to them that believe.
You say that some people set them
selves up as equals Of Jesus. Here's
what I have got to say about that
1'll just put the scripture to you:

Temporary Pastures Thought
Best For Sheep
Specialists Give Valuable Pointers
On Care OF Flock

For health and for economical use
of the pasturage it is undesirable to
keep sheep on the same ground more
than from 10 to IA days, say special
lists Of animal husbandry, Division Of
Extension, in discussing the question
OF raising sheep on temporary past
ures. The most generally useful size
bt is / acre to 25 sheep. This area,
on the average, furnished In expert
ments IA days feed.
Arranging the size Of lots on the
basis OF acre TO IS sheep Is more sat
lsfactory than seeding larger areas and
using hurdles to permit advance fresh
feed each day. Less labor is neces-
sary, and by going to entirely new
ground after 10 or IL days the danger
of picking up parasite larvae on
ground grazed over earlier is prevent
ed. With a l acre lot for % ewes, or
CORRESPONDENCE larger ones for larger
flocks. it is an added advantage if
their length is two or three times the
breadth.
With a heavy crop of forage that
would last longer than was considered
safe to hold the flock ON the same
ground, Il short piece of cross fence
IAN readily be put down to divide the
pasture into two parts. The smaller
OTIS are also convenient with purebred
docks to provide for the separate
assuring of smaller lots of ram and
awe lambs.
Movable fehcing is not likely TO be
satisfactory for the outside-lot fences
unless the whole area to be used lies

Dnly two end pieces need to be in place

Preventive measures are best

CALL TUESDAY UNLUCKY DAY
Members of the Greek Church Have
Reasons to Look Upon 1t With
Misgivings.

To most persons Of western tradi.
ton Friday is more or less considered
to be an unlucky day. Many of them
prefer not to say this straight out,
but they are bit wary of starting
any large enterprise on Friday. The
Idea may come from the fact that for
so many people Friday Is held as a
fast day and great interest in purely
secular pursuits should be held some
what In allegiance The old Morse peas
antry give different explanation.
"To begin big thing on a Friday
leads to great temptation to break
the Sabbath" is the way one old grand
mother puts it.
To most members OF the Greek
church it Is not Friday, but Tuesday
that Is the most unlucky day. The
reason Is clearcut and historical, for
it was on this day that-a Tuesday, In
1453-Constantinople was lost to the
eastern empire and passed under the
control of the Turks.

MIGHTY RIVER is THE YUKON
Ranks as One of the Worlds Greatest,
Though 1t Was Long Compare
lively Unknown.

The Yukon is one of the great rivers
of the world. 1t is more than 2,3OO
miles long and Is both the longest and
the largest river flowing into Pacific
waters in the western hemisphere, sur
passing by considerable margin Its
nearest competitors, the Columbia and
the Colorado. Among all the rivers
Of North America the Yukon is sur
passed in length only by the Missis-
sippi system and the Mackenzie. 1t
Is longer than the st. Lawrence. as
well as ali the other rivers except the
Mississippi system which flows into
the Gulf of Mexico or the Atlantic.
The existence Of such a large river
as the Yukon in the Far North was
long unsuspected. A Russian lieu
tenant, Zagoskin, entered its mouth
by boat in 1912 and traversed 1t for
several hundred miles. The Hudson's
Bay company had discovered its head
waters in Canada; but the two bits
of information were not pieced to-
gether. The existence Of the river
as stream of great magnitude and
length first became really known
through the daring and romantic prof.
ect of installing land telegraph wires
between America and Europe across
Alaska Behring strait and the wastes
of Siberia. Robert KennicOtt In con-
nection with this enterprise blazed
the Yukon trail by descending the
river in 1865. The first trading
steamer ascended the stream in 1869.
The Yukon really came into its own
