It is further shown to be universal in its operation and continuous in its manifestation. The apocalyptic conceptions of the three earlier Gospels dewive their spec- tacular features from the Jewish imageries of the period and portray their eschatological hopes. But I can- not regard them as the final revelation of God’s spirit on this great matter. As I have previously said here so I now repeat that St. Paul's splendid reasoning on the “natural” and the “spiritual” body is the foundation of my conviction concerning the resurrec- tion of the earthly frame of our flesh.

Coleridge in his “Letters on the In- spiration of the Scriptures,” says: “Need I say that I have met every- where in the Bible more or less copious sources of truth and power and puri- fying impulses; that I have found words for my inmost thoughts, songs for my joys, utterances of my hidden griefs and pleadings for my shame and my feebleness. In short, whatever finds me bears witness of itself that it has proceeded from a holy spirit, even from the same spirit, which, remaining concerning the nature of the “spiritual” body.

Hunter in itself, yet regenerates all other pow- ers and in all ages entering into the holy souls maketh them friends of God and prophetic.” (The Book of Wisdom, viil.27) I do not think that your last ques- tion can be dogmatically answered. Read the Bible for yourself and note the parts which impress you most deeply. You will find that your soul is deeply stirred within you as you take your journey through some of the psalms and the prophets. You will feel in studying the Gospels that you are in the holy of holies, while in much of the correspondence of St. Paul you will experience the most exalted emo- tions. These are sure indications of the inspiration of God and they abound in both Testaments. Q. How long an interval of time was there between the earliest writings of the New Testament and the reduc- tion to writing of the Old Testament? Is it true that in the interval be- tween the Old and New Testaments apocalyptic literature sprang up? The latest writing in the Old Maek, George F. Montgomery, Talbot ‘Walker, Joseph Berry, Dr. N.

The local soclety has just completed plans for the securing of the $60,000 unit of the larger building plan. This amount is needed for the suburban ex- tension and for the district missionary area. Of this $30,000 is sought from Presbyterian churches at large in the city'and the remainder from the board of national missions and the new suburban and missjonary” units. At New York ‘Testament is now dated by scholars about the year 165 B.C. St. Paul's letter to the Galatians or the Thes- salonians is the earliest New Testa- ment writing. These epistles are usual- ly dated about the year 50 A.D. Hence the roughly estimated interval would be about 200 years. Ezekiel is sometimes called the father of apocalptic prophecy and his book contains some notable examples of it. The prophecies of Isalah and Zacha- riah also are marked by apocalptic It was in the period between .C.. D, _that the apocalyptic seers flourished. Dr. Charles Canon of Westminster, in his interest- ing book, “Between the Testaments,” enumerates the following books as the principal examples of an extensive apocalyptic literature: “Ethiopic Book of Enoch” (200-64 B. C.), “Book of Jubilees” (40-10 B.C.), NEEFORNAY13 Woman Members of Potomac Presbytery Will Hold An- nual Session Here.

HOLLISTER Old North Church, OLIVER CROMWELL ruled England when the first church building on the site of the Old North was erected in Portsmouth in 1657. It was built on a hill for better protection against the Indians and it was not only the church but the town meeting house. For 12 years its first rector, the Rev. Mr. Moody, held regular services here until he was placed in jail by the gov- ernor of the colony, a stanch Episco- palian, who cited the act of eonformity of King Charles II as sufficient reason for his actlon. In 1708 a new church was built on the same site and it boasted a clock and bell a few years later when these were brought from England. These were objects of great pride to the vil- lagers as were also the interior fur- nishings of the church, most of them brought from the mother country at what must have been great expense. Portsmouth, N. H. Most of these furnishings, as well as the prized clock and bell, were removed to the new church, which was ready for occupancy in 1835. Twenty years later the church was extensively renovated, the alterations being so extensive as to make it practi- cally & néw building. The congrega- tion purchased a new clock and sent the old bell to.England for recasting, to the great regret of the congregation ever since, as the vessel with all of its cargo was lost at sea.

This theory is mnot only false, it is injurious to the Scrip- tures and greatly confusing to number- less devout minds.
