ket What You Make" in the
September, 1852, Profitable
Hobbies magazine. Other ar
ticles in other issues of this
magazine give ways in which
lobbyists have brought their
goods to market, and she may
find many applicable tips. Mr..
Bollman states that one of his
best-Selling tricks is that of
"free samples; gifts of your
product will bring in orders. 1t
seems to me that the many
queries along this line would
show the need for a well-run
woman's exchange in the area.
Those inquiring about news
paper logs might also be inter-
ested in the article, Roll Your
Own Kindling - Nantucket
Style" in the October issue of
Woman's Day.
The November issue of To-
days Health has an excellent
article by Ida Bailey Allen en-
titled Can the High Cost of
Eating Be Solved?" Judging by
the many queries for econom-
1cal food tips, this article should
be of wide interest to RICH
readers.
Is there some pleasant way I
can get people to return books
they borrowed" three, six, yes
even II months ago? While l
am pleased to have my friends
borrow books and other reading
material which 1 have and they
might enjoy, I am not happy to
have these books out of my
library for more than a rea-
sonable period of time. After
all. the books I buy I have
usually read and want to re-
read, that's why I purchased
them. And how can 1 smile
gracefully when a book is re-
turned with, Sorry. it's little
messed up-the baby threw it
in the bathtub!"
I would like guidance in pur-
chasing classical records, espe-
cially for children. My kids love
the William Tell Overture,
Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No.
2, Nuntcracker Suite, Tchaikov-
sky's Sleeping Beauty. I prefer
the records without narrations,
but with accompanying descrip-
ton on the jacket. Can you
give me the names of other rec
ords. such as the above, which
would appeal to my youngsters,
aged 9, 8 and 4?
For a long time I have had
dreams OF trip abroad and if
I want to make that dream
come true it's time to be build

Can those of you who have
made such trip give me some
practical information? I would

EXPLANATION OFFERED.
(MrS. r. B. H., Takoma Park
l read your request in the
RICH for an explanation of the
following texts: And Jesus said
unto him. Verify say unto thee.
Today shalt thou be with me
In paradise" Luke 23:43. and:
Jesus saith unto her. Touch
me not; for I am not yet as
cended to my Father and to
my God, and your God" John
20:17.
First of all, Christ plainly says
IN the latter verse, Il am not yet
ascended to My Father" If we
presuppose that the translators
made an error in punctuation
In the first verse of which you
speak. we will find the Bible
reads harmoniously. For in
stance, And Jesus said unto
him. Verify I say unto thee
today. shalt thou be with Me in
paradise"
In other words, Jesus made
the promise "today"-the day
Of the crucifixion-to take the
thief to paradise. In comparing
these thoughts with other texts,
1t seems to be all that 1t could
mean.
Furthermore. the Bible truth
regarding the state of man after
death precludes the thief's
going Immediately to heaven
with Jesus. For example, read
Job IA, particularly the 18th
through the 21st verse, III which
Job speaks of sleeping in the
grave until the end of all things.
See also Ps. 1864 and Eccl. 9:5.
In Acts 2:34 We read, For
David is not assembled into the
heavens" And in PS. 1915,
David says, las for me. I will
behold Thy face in righteous
ness: I shall be satisfied, when
I awake. with Thy likeness" So
obviously, David did not 60 to
heaven at death. but is waiting
to be awakened.
This awakening" is promised
in I Thess. 4:160-"For the Lord.
Himself shall descend from
Heaven with a shout. with the
voice of the Archangel, and with
the trump of God, and the dead
in Christ shall rise first"
Doesn't it seem consistent that
the thief was promised eternal
life the day of the crucifixion.
but that he, like the rest Of
Gods children, should sleep
quietly in his grave, until Jesus
comes to call His own to their
Heavenly reward.
