IT MAKES ME LAUGH.
Dkab Editob : "The doctrine of
prayer, and healing by faith are
questions of Biblical interpretation."
But you deny this. 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.

prayer came as the Bible sayB it did

Brother, one of the curses of the world
today is the educated ministry, educated
with the view of interpretation of wordj

"Belief in modern healing by faith"
has a place in this discussion ; and be

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

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

today. Brother, these are the promises
made by the founder of the Christian
faith. There must be a burned out fuse

If the reputed miracles are true there
is no need of interpretation. If the
records are false Christianity is a delu.
sion and a fcnare ; but there are a mul
titude of men who want to hold both
ends of the rope on the "pull Baker,
pull Devil" order. These men make a
profession of interpreting the Bible. It
is the blind leading the blind" into the
muddy ditch and the slough of deepond
and the Christ is obscured by reason of
the mud in the preacher's and his con
gregation's eye.
