Bible Questions
And Answers
ALBERT F. RANDOLPH

Questions: If married person
is divorced and then remarries
while the former companion is
still living, can this person be
saved?
Answer: Certainly that person
can be saved. God is indeed
merciful to every sinner and will
save all who come to Him. Any
person that will forsake sin and
come to the Lord can be saved.
Isa. 55:7 tells us, Let the wick
ed forsake his way, and the un-
righteous man his thoughts; and
let him return unto the Lord
and he will have mercy upon
him; and to our God for he will
abundantly pardon" This is in
deed the Lords plan of salvation.
There must be a forsaking of
sin and a return to the Lord. A
thief, a liar, murderer must
leave their sin. Why should it
be thought incredible that an
adulterer should leave his sin.
Rom. 7:2, 3 tells US, For the
woman which hath an husband
is bound by the law to her hus-
band so long as he liveth!; but if
the husband be dead, she is
loosed from the law of her hus-
band. So then if, while her hus-
band liveth, she be married to
another man, she shall be called
an adulteress: but if her husband
be dead, she is free from that law
so that she is no adulteress,
though she be married to anoth-
er man." Naturally this scrip
ture applies to either man or
woman. l know some do like
this kind of answer, but it is
the word Of God. We must abide
by il if we would have His bles-
sing. After the sin is forgiven,
the individual must go on to
sanctification or holiness.
Question: How can people

really get saved?
Answer; This is certainly an
important question. Since man
sinned and fell from God, the
most important thing in this life
is how to get back to God. Jesus
says in Luke 1873 and repeats if
in verse S, Il tell you, Nay: but
except ye repent, ye shall all
likewise perish" We must have
repentance toward God and faith
toward our Lord Jesus Christ.
This is the first step, the one in
which and through which we
receive forgiveness of sins. The
second step is the seeking of the
cleansing of the heart from in
bred sin, through a confession of
its presence and the full turning
from it and a definite consecra-
ton of our heart and life to God
for time and eternity. In the first
step we receive pardon and
stand justified in Gods sight,
but in the heart is still all the
seed of sin that ever has been
committed, and that must be
cleansed from the heart else the
devil will cause some of that seed
to sprout and bring forth anoth-
er crop of sins and we will find
ourselves backslidden, and many
then give up and quit saying
that it is no use to try to 60 on.
If we would be really saved we
must seek to be justified and
sanctified, that is forgiven and
cleansed. The Bible shows no
other way of getting to heaven,
but by this death route to sin
and sins. The Lord help you to
come thus to the Lord and by
faith receive the full salvation
that He has for you.

Circuit Rides Again
BY EVELYN WEAVER

Every now and then, l get a
tile kidding about my circuit
ding and how / dash from one
lace to another The circuit
.ders of yesteryears stayed a
title longer in one spot than /
10. Perhaps, l should be called
| pony express rider; at least, l
eel like it at times. And / felt
Ike it last Sunday and all this
week; and as | look at my
schedule these next three weeks,
It will be some of the same thing.
[ might bore you if / gave you
my day to day schedule for that
time. This week alone is a pretty
heavy one as most schedules are
for the preachers and the few
faithful laymen.
am wondering if any of you
have ever thought about where
we got the meaning of the word,
Easter, and why We refer it to
this particular day for our Risen
Lord. Eostre, the Teutonic god
dess of spring, symbolized the
coming of spring and immort-
ality. The word, of course, has
been Anglicized so that we get
Easter as a result. But no reli-
gion other than Christianity
makes the celebration of this
physical phenomena the chief
festival and central fact of its
religion. 1t is the spiritual spring
time which accompanies this
physical creation.
AS you know, there will be
Good Friday services for the
folks in the county and I hope
that several of you will take ad-
vantage of part of the Three
Hour Watch"
Yours truly will be speaking
at the Caldwell Sunrise Service;
then going to Berne at 9:3e for
its service and ll:0O at East
Union.
The following week, I will be
at McConnelsville, grange ban
quet, Achievement Day, Spring
Festival and Delaware. Some
times the week following Easter
is used as sort of a vacation for
preachers. Not so with me in this
week. However, Mabel and
are taking a semi-vacation and
business trip in May down into
the mountain regions of Tennes-
see visiting rural parish pro-
grams and the Tennessee Valley
Authority projects. Yours truly
was given a scholarship to at
tend a rural summer school and
because of camps, Bible Schools
and conferences in the summer,
| found no time to take a month
off. So in its stead, ! am using
this scholarship for educational
purposes of an informal nature.
Just a reminder once again TO
the youth and youth counselors
- May 3 for our Christian Out
reach or missionary banquet at

to hold back, the sky was the limit
by the time the little train got near
the foot of the hill. 1t was thrilling
travel, especially when the hill was on
curve. Though the roads entire
trackage was through a real mining
country the little engine was wood
burner and passenger travel was fill
ed with sparks, ashes, smoke and
dirt. All along the line there were
small platforms where the train was
delayed while the engine crew took
on wood. The long sticks were cut
and sawed in lengths by the farmers
along the line and hauled to the plat
forms, all of which were hard to keep
from getting empty. The farm folk
derived a good income from keeping
the railroad supplied with fuel.
To hold the cars on the track in
making sharp curves the outer rail
had been laid three inches higher
than the inner one and the friction of
the wheels against it produced a
shrill squeaking that almost was UNI
bearable to the passengers.
Woodsfeld is on high ground in the
hills and after leaving there for Bel
laire the little train soon was zigzag-
ging, twisting and wobbling down
Sunfsh creeks rapidly widening
chasm. A little more than mile
further on the train crossed little
bridge about six rods long and stop
ped at cottage on the other side of
it. There woman got on, indicating
that depots had little place in the
picture--if you wanted to ride the
train would stop in front of your
home. The foregoing was related by
man who rode the train in the late
1880's. Despite the sparks, smoke
and ashes the woman shifted at his
cigar smoke and he had to throw the
"two-for" away.
So goes the story of the rickety,
wobbly, zigzag B. 2. & C.-the Poor
Mans Railroad that ran through the
hills rs years ago.

, self, managed to have the road fin
anced by the other poor people who
| lived along its wild and isolated
route.
Beginning at Bellaire, the railroad
was finished to Woodsfeld in 1877
forty-two miles of narrow gauge
track over whose steep grades and
sharp curves passenger trains ran at
Is miles per hour. The whole road
cost only 1880 per mile including
land, grading, bridges, tracks and
everything but rolling stock, of which
it had little.
With hopes of some day being built
into GAINESVILLE and of finally reach
ing the Ohio River at Cincinnati, the
road was named the Bellaire, Zanes-
vile & Cincinnati Railroad-the BZ&
G., which passengers pointed out
meant badly zigzag and crooked. Be
ginning on the river, nearing it again
at Woodsfeld and planned to end on
it at Cincinnati, the line apparently
was intended to compete with steam
boat traffic, something no railroad
ever has been able to do so far as
freight rates are concerned.
All in all the railroad was a god
send and well worth its cost to the
farmers in the Belmont and Monroe
counties in Ohio River hills. Wagon
roads there were few and cost an
enormous amount to build. The
country really was rough. The B. z.
& c. r. R. opened up the country to
development.
Much of the road was succession
of curves, bridges, high trestles and
steep grades. Some of the latter
were 130 feet to the mile, pretty
steep climb for any wheezy little
engine.
Some of the curves had radius of
only 400 feet and one of them was
reverse curve on a trestle.
Any rider who felt like jesting
about the little train jogging along
at snail's pace usually changed his
mind after whizzing around one of
the railroads abrupt curves at 16
miles an hour and on a long trestle
between hilltops at that. The road
had few wrecks. Maybe the rolling
efacIy ,xyag 100 Erb+
Old accounts relate that seldom
was the scheduled speed limit exceed
ed except when going down one of
the steep, mile-long grades. Unable
