most enjoyable, but Mr. Long states
that he has sent a large number of
logs to the mill, where they will be
converted into lumber and a perman

nore comforts than is possible in their

V. D. Jones, who is lying quite ill
ft his home in this city, is reported as
having spent a very poor night and
this morning his condition was not as

MRS. ED. KUNSMANN
DOING FAIRLY WELL
IN NEW MEXICO
Carl Kunsmann and wife have just
received a letter from their son, Ed,
who has just arrived at Alberquerque,
New Mexico, to spend a short time
there with his wife, whose health has
been such as to compel her to make
her home for several months in the
high altitude of that country. In his
letter Ed states that the weather there
is ideal and it is no uncommon sight
to see persons running around on the
streets in their shirt sleeves as though
it was in the summer season. Mrs.
Kunsmann, so her husband states, is
getting along fairly well, although not
as well, perhaps, as it had been
hoped for, but her condition is im
proved over what it was when she
arrived there. Ed will spend a short
me there with his wife and the fam
ily, and friends here are anxiously
awaiting word that she is showing
seme improvement. "

Denying the Son of Cod.
Billy Sunday has joined other evan
gelists and preachers in the slanderous
misstatements that Pastor Bussed de
nies that Jesus is the Son of God. By
such false statements, said the Pastor.
they seek to prevent ieople froru ccmin?
to hear me and from reading ir.y Bibre
expositions. Yet how foohVh it is for
them to make such deliberate misstate
ments; for eventually their falsehoods
will lie found out! People who learn
of the gross ' misrepresentation realize
that only desperation, attempting tc
support a weak cause, could lead men
professing to le ministers of the Truth
to thus do it violence.
Really, it is I who believe that Jesus
Is the Son of God, while the great ma
jority of preachers and evangelists do
not clearly so teach. They confuse
their argument and bewilder their
hearers by telling in oue breath that
Jesus is the Son of God,, and in the
next breath that He Is His own Father.
According to them, lie is Jehovab
God. who sent His Son into the world
to die. cud He is the Son who sent
Himself, as God. When He prayed to
the Father it was a mockery; for He
was the Father "one in person
When he said. "The Father is greater
than I." He misrepresented the facts,
according to these preachers, evan
gelists and creed-makers. He spoke of
the Cup which the Father had poured
for Him, and said He could do nothing
of Himself, and that He would return
to the Father. He prayed. "My God
Mv God! Y7hy hast Thou forsaken
MeV" and said to Mary. "I have not
yet ascended to My Father and your
Father, to :My God and your God.
But these viser-tuan-thc-Bible teacli
ers contradict Him, aud feel like say
ing. "Jesus must have been a Milieu
nial Dawncr! But ire- know better!
Such teachers make void the Word
of God through their traditions. In
claiming thatJesus is Jehovah God,
they really deny that He is the Son of
God: for common sense tells everybody
that a son receives his life from the fa
ther. This is exactly what the Bible
tells us respecting Jesus.
Truthful Criticisms Invited.
I invite truthful criticisms of my
teachings: but my opponents Know
that to treat me fairly, justly, would
be to turn all thinking people to my
Bide the Bible side the reasonable
fide. For. thirty years they ignored
mv presentations, lest people should
find out: but as my sermons now reach
millions, they are alarmed for tho safe
ty of their musty creeds, and resort to
rank falsehoods, misrepresentations auu
slanders the weapons of moral cow
ards, who realize their own weakness.
If they would charge me with UisDe-
lievlng the doctrine of tho Trinity
that three ones are one I would cheer-
fullv admit it. and point them to the
fact that the word Trinity 13 not found
in the Bible, and that the thought of a
trinltv Ls not there, except in one pas
sage, which all scholars of all denom
inations admit Is a forgery of the Sev-
entbCeutury 1 John 5:7. S. See Re
vised Version.
I believe in the Heavenly Father, Je-
novan tiuu. i oenere m nu son, our
Lord Jesus Christ, who left the Heav
enly nature, took the human nature,
died for our sins, and was afterward
highly exalted to the Divine nature. I
believe in the Holy Spirit, the Spirit
of the Truth, the Spirit of God, the
Spirit of Christ. My crime Is that I do
not believe that the Father, the Sou,
snd the Holy Spirit are "one in person,
eqiTil in power and glory," neither one
existing before the others, neither one
th Sun and neither one the Father,
really. The Bible says nothing of this
kind; and I am glad that my head Is
not so illogical as to lead me to deny
the Bible and common sense for the
sake of being in harmony with creeds
made in the Dark Ages.
"Who Art Thou, Lord?" "Jesus!"
The Bible makes no mystery of who
Jesus is; and we would not have been
in confusion had we relied soleij- upon
the testimony of Jesus, the Apostles
mill the Prophets. Our misleading
came during the twelve hundred years
when the Bible was ignored, because
It was believed that the Jiving bishops
were Apostolic end had the plenary
lowers cf the original Apostles. This
serious error Jesus emphatically warn
ed against in advance. Revelation
The Bible tells of Jesus' present glo
rious station, "far above angels," "par
taker of the Divine nature." But many
ignore this, and claim that Jesus is a
man in Heaven, completely out of
toiii-h with His .surroundings;
for a
man, according to tho Bib!?, is "a lit
tle lower tlinn :!i!gcl." where
Apostle declares that Jesus. j;t His res
t:rrectin. was exalted far above an
gels. This glorious One, although of a
diiTerent nature, is the fanu Ono who.
while on earth, was "tin? Man Chris;
Jesus," "a man of sorrows end i.c
rpiainto-.l with grief." St. Paul tells
r.s how Jesus k-ft the Heavenly glory,
how He humbled Iliusseif to take a
bond man's form to take the same n:t
ture as humnnitv. which h;t l come into
bondage to sin.
The Bible explains how Jesus could
be of our race, and yet be "holy, harm
less, r.ndcfilcd. separate from sinners."
It tells us plainly that Jesus had a hu
man mother, but that His life came
ii t from a human father; and that
therefore lie was perfect, and able to
be the Ilansomer of the race by giving
to God saerinVially a full correspond
ing price for Adam, whose life was
forfeited because cf sin. Thus the Bi
bio explains that Jesus' death is suffi
cicnt ior Adam s sin and tne sins c:
the whole work!; for the world was
not condemned Individually, but mere
ly pnrtook of Adam's condemnation to
death.
Whoever thinks of Jesus as bc-ingtht
Father and al.i the Holy Spirit al.
one in person must be confronted with
nonicr.sieal errors such as these: How
did tho Universe manage to progress
tiiiring the period leading up to Jesus'
birth and on to manhood? How did
the nSTairs of the Universe prosper dur
ing Jesus' ministry, when He was full.v
engaged with earthly affairs to the cx
tent of weariness? How did the Uni
verse get along when Jsus died, and
until lie arose from death?
Some even go to tins absurd length:
to wit, that Jesus raisvd Himself from
death; whereas the Apostle declares
positively that the Father raised Him
from the dead on th-3 third day. How
refreshing it is to get out e f the foj
into the dear statements of God's
Word, which declare el "To us there
is cue God. the Father." (2) "and one
Lord. Jesus Christ I"-1 Corinthians 80.
"Besinning of Gsd's Creation."
It seems r.stor.ii-lin if my opponents
have never road the plain Bible state
meets that onr glorious Redeemer was
"the First-born of all creation" (Colos
ians 1:15. "the beginning of the crema
tion of Geel" (Reveiut on 3:14). II

Jesus Himself in IIi.- last Message
to His Church. iL-elared. "I am the AI
pha and the Omega, the beginning and
the ending, the first and the last." (Rev
elation 1:?, 11.) Thus lie clearly tlif
ferentiates between Himself and the
Father: for the Father had no begin
ning "From everlasting to everlasting
Thou art God."
Do our opponents claim that Jesus is
God? We agree most heartily, provid
ed the word God is understood In the
sense in which the Bible uses It.
Throughout the Old Testamejit the
word- for God Is clohim mighty oue.
It Is applied to Jehovah, the Almighty
One; it is also applied to angels and
to men whom He sent as His messen
gers. According to this view, our Lord
Jesus Christ is a God. The Bible clear
ly indicates that He ls above all oth
er gods except Jehovah.
In harmony with this we read re
specting Messiah and His Kingdom:
"Thy throne, O God, Is forever and
ever." The Apostle applies these words
distinctly to Jesus, but does not say
this proves that Jesus was His own
Father, nor does he ignore the Ai
mighty God. of whom are all things.
Ou the contrary, the context tells
us explicitly that tho Father, who
alwavs was above all, as a reward ex
alted His Son to this glorious King
ship and Godship. declaring that even
the nugels of Heaven should worship
Ilim. Hebrews 1:1-9.
One very simple statement confuses
some neeeilessly. It reads, "I and My
Father are one." It does not say one
person. It refers to the oneness of
spirit, or harmony, between the Father
and the Son: and this oneness is ex
plained by our Lord, assuring us that
Ho came not to do His own will, but
the will of the Father. Since He ac
cepted the Father's will in everything,
He and the Father were always one in
purpose. Jesus prayed for the Church,
saying, I pray fur them that Thou Last
given Me, that they all may be one iu
Us, eveu as Thou, Father, and I aie
one. (Jobu 17:9, -0-21.) Surely no oue
would claim that Jesus expected His
Church to become one person! And it
is cvpjal.ly absurd to think that He ui.d
the Father are one person.
Because Jesus va thus the Father's
Representative, in tin? only sense that
men coul 1 see the invisible Jehovah, Hi?
answered Philip on one occasion, "ile
that hath seen Me hath seen the Fa
ther." Thus the President's secretary
would sny to a caller, "I represent th
President."
"In the Beginning Was the Logcs."
As Matthew's and Luke's Gospels
make very plain how the glorious Sou
of God was made flesh, yet not a par
taker of human &in, so St. John's Gos
pel provides us with information still
further back, pointing out and explain
ing clearly the glorious prehuman na
ture of the Son of God. The transla
tion, however, is slightly defective, and
hides from the English reader the fi:!I
import of the opening verses wh': h.
literally translated, read:
"In the beginning was the Logos, and
the I-gos was with the God, and the
Logos was a god. The same was i:i
the beginning with the God. By liii i
wi re all things made, and without Hii:i
was not one thing made. And th
Logos was made tlesh and dwelt among
r ri.l vr l.riieM Ills "lorv. the L'lorv
the1 1 !-,.., ..,. ,1 i. ,.,.,.
of grace and truth." Johu i:l-3. 14.
The beautiful simplicity of this ac
count is wonderful. Tho beginning it
mentions was not that of Jehovah's
existence, which the Bible declares was
without beginning. The word refers
to the beginning of creation, ai.d im
mediately introduces us to the great
Igos, "the Beginning of the creation
of God." (Revelation V,:14.) While tho
name Logo; may be not Improperly
translated Word, it has a much fu!Ie
signirican e: namely, representative,
messenger, mout hpie -e.
Jehovah's entire Message has been,
and will be. fclven to angels and t J
men through the great Logos. He was
the Alpha, the first; the Father created
none Lefore Him. He is the Omega,
the last: the Father has directly cre
ated none since Him. This explains
simply, satisfactorily, that all subse
(luent creations, while executed by Je
hovah's Power, were worked out by
Ills great Son. the I-os. "By Him
were all things made that were made."
When the time came fr the out
working of the great Divine Plan for
human salvation, and. incidentally, the
showing forth of God's Justice, Wii
dom, Love and Power, the oiler pro,
crlj' came first to the Logos. The
proposition to be man's Redeemer car
ried with it a great blessing, as St.
Taul explains. (Hebrews 12:2; Colos
finns 1:1S.) This exaltation to CoJ's
right hand, far aLove all other crea
tures, was an advance step. Although
originally higher than all the others,
(he Logos was not so "far above"
the a.
It was God's purpose to have a New
Creation; and the Logos, through the
redemptive Plan, was to be the first
and chicfest ou that highest plane
the Divine nature. During this Gospel
Age, God has been calling and accept
ing the honest, the obedient, lovers of
righteousness, haters of iniquity, to be
associates with Jesus in the Kingdom
and participants with Him in the high
est nature of all the Divine. So. St.
Peter declares, "God hath given unto
us the truly consecrated, the Church 1
exceeding great and precious promises,
that by these we might become par
takers of the Divine nature." 2 IVter
1:1; Hebrews 2:10.
Is it right, is it Christian, is It true,
is it manly, to charge my teachngs
with denying that Jesus Ls the Son of
God? What object could there be iu
so doing except to keep the Lord's
hungry sheep away from the grccui
pastures of Divine Truth? Well do
my traducers know that they have
nothing Biblical, sane or sensible to
give instead! The very bitterness
manifested by ministers against me is
being used of the Lord to arouse in
vestigation amongst those who are tru
ly His people. If my reputation must
be thus assassinated in order that the
true sheep may - hear the Master's
voice, I shall acquiesce as joyfully as
possible, remembering that it will be
difficult for them to say bitterer or uu
truer things of me than they said of
my Master.
My crime is the same that incited
the Pharisees against Jesus and the
Apostles. "They were angry that they
taught the people." Preachers who do
not believe in eternal torment any
more than I do are angry that I am
Informing the people; for they fear
that the people will justly think that
their ministers deal dishonestly, re
teiving wages for keeping them in
darkness. The time has come when
all who are for the right, the Truth,
should manifest themselves. I have
many letters from ministers, marked
personal and private, assuring me of
their sympathy with my work, but
fearful to come out boldly. Iam sorry
for these. The Lord xfcwrr "Bo
thou very courageous." "He that hath
a dream an Imagination, let hi:n tell
