Now notice : All Biblical doctrines, of necessity, rest upon the interpretation of those portions of Scripture which refer to them. The Bible must first be interpreted before Biblical doctrines can be formulated. This is true of atonement, regeneration, sanctincation, prayer, and miracle work ing, as Biblical doctrines. But this is not denying that miracles were wrought just as the Bible Bays they were. Belief in modern healing by faith may be an article in your religion, and not in mine, but we both base our belief up on our own interpretations of Scripture on that subject. It is not a question of honesty or holiness on your part, or mine ; it is only a matter of judgment. In connection with Jacob's statement, "I will not let thee go, except thou bless me," when he received the withered leg, you say, "with the injury came the blessing." That is what I hoped you would say. The blessing was spiritual. It suggests prayer as a means of obtain, ing spiritual blesangs. This is,, in .my judgment, the purpose of prayer. But it does not suggest prayer as a means of preserving health. "With the injury came, the blessing" to Jacob. Did it come to the four children in Wood burn at the cost of death? Perhaps so. They surely are now with Christ. But injury to Jacob, and death to the four children as consequence of prayer if they were does not recommend prayer to us as a remedy for injury, or a means of avert ing death. Your remark about the nigger (negro, you probably mean) and the linotype machine, in which you say, "when our linotype machine arrives, we will give him place to tell what he don't know about Christ is Spirit preaching to sin ners before the flood," remind me of the two urchins who. met in combat one day. They fought long and hard, when one was overpowered, but as they sepa rated, he shouted back: . "Just wait till my big brother catches you !" Cordially yours, Gkorge H. Bkxsett. both spiritual and temporal. You will doubtless know that at the time of his wrestling match he had thirteen sons, and those thirteen eons in about two hundred years' time counted up into the hundreds of thousands ; and if that leg had not been withered there would have been no place on earth today for the gentile nations. Regarding the four children at Wood burn who died without medicine, tho Reverend Brother says: "Surely they are now with Christ." Allah be praised. Why does not the Brother state that the other children who died having taken big pills, little pills, bone rubbing, and the scientific - interpretations - by the Woodburn divine aie in glory land also? With profound ignorance as regards the true meaning of the words "niggar" and "negro" we state: A negro is either a native of Africa or a pureblood of African stock. A "niggar" is a pro duction between the low whites and the negro race a curse upon the American citizenship and the cause of all the hatred and deviltry in the South. Such a being is not a white man nor is he a negro ; but he is of that brand that many men fold to their bosom and seud up a howl to heaven after some pure, good, noble Southern lady has been assaulted by the brute and he has as cended in smoke. The Editor is sincerely sorry that tne good brother has referred to our big brother, after the flesh, for if he was caught by the one who avenges the wrongs done to us he would be hung up to dry for about seven years in the place where there is no snow and this would be preparatory.'to the burning because he is so green.

I will direct answer by lnvmity to prayer are either true or false. The record of Christ healing the sick, giving sight to the blind, the raising of the dead,-the giving back to the servant his ear when cut off by Peter, the feeding of the mul titude ; and by the apostles as recorded in the Acts ; and in olden times the record ed miricles by Moses, Joshua, Elijah, Elisha, and a score of other cases as direct answer to prayer are either abeo lutely true or false. If the answer to prayer came as the Bible sayB it did and if miricles were "wrought just as the Bible says they v were" then there needs no interpretation for "he who runs msy read" and a fool could not misunderstand. Therefore there is no need of any man to interpret, and Brother, one of the curses of the world today is the educated ministry, educated with the view of interpretation of wordj but destitute of the Spirit of Christ. "Belief in modern healing by faith" has a place in this discussion ; and be lief in the healing performed by Christ and the Apostles has a place because if the accounts of miricles were true then ; if the power given to Christ and trans mitted to the Apostles, and by Christ's promise to be transmitted by the church through all ages was an absolute fact then that fact exists today. It may be latent ; but as truly as the glory of God rested between the wings of the Cheru bim in the holy of holies in the taberna cle, in the wilderness, during the time of the Judges and.afterwards in Solomon's temple in the Jewish church, so the glory of the Christian church "greater worke than these shall ye do because I go to my Father;" "and whatsoever ye shall ask in My name I will do it be cause I go to my Father," "and lo I am with you always even to the end of the world," exists among devout Christians today. Brother, these are the promises made by the founder of the Christian faith.
