In one Of your answers some time
ago you said that the Bible nowhere
claimed to be inspired.
Surely you must have some time
read st. Paul's declaration that "All
Scripture Is given by inspiration of
God" II not, you will find It in II
Timothy, iii.16.
Answer-What 1 said in the answer
to which you refer runs as follows:
Nor does the Bible as q whole speak
of itself as the Word of GOD. This,
of course, is by no means equivalent
to saying that the Bible nowhere
claims to be inspired of God. Such a
claim is frequently made In the
Prophets and the Gospels. The title:
Word of God" belongs by scriptural
authority to Christ alone.
The correct rendering of II Tim
othy, ILLS. is not "All Scripture is
given by inspiration of God" etc, but
Every Scripture inspired, of God,
etc.--a very different translation, ana
one which is widely explanatory or
the Bible.

In reading the New Testament l

St. Marks Gospel Xiv.25: Il will not

Please tell me what our Lord meant
by these words.
Answer-The Greeks had two words
to convey the idea Of neWnesS. BY
the one they Indicated what was new
from the standpoint OF time; by the
other they expressed the idea of now
ness in quality or character. The sec
ond word is used IN This solemn say IilS
of our Lord.
The passage in which it occurs
shows that He was C1nSC lOi.S of thC
nearness of His death. His tender
and illuminating friendship with o1e
disciples was approaching it's consllin-
nation in fellowship which was 10

fellowship and indicated the kingdom

neWnesS and of their newn9sS of

had it in their power to prevent the

matters, and that that arrangement
has existed for. many years. For in
stance. when DR.. White was being
investigated in 1906, 20 years ago
Fenning came to his relief.
1t is shown that they are partners
and have been for many years in
buying second-trust notes and keeping
u joint account, which they still have,
at the Washington Loan & Trust
Co. 1t Is shown that, though DR..
White, Fenning has access to all the
secret files of st. EliZabeth's Hospital,
and thereby obtained the information
which enabled him to prosecute his
guardianship practices and to get in
touch with relatives of insane people
IN order to practice barratry and what
is known as "capping the business

who was compelled by the auditor to

ward F. Hoff. in 1915 commissions
that he had abstracted on the author
