- A lion's Landmarks : Wilson, N. C. tians aieexiiorted to live asthose that shall l)e jnl^(‘d by the lav.- of liberty: So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be jad^ed by the law of liberty/’ James 2: 12. d'he law of liberty de livers aad releases from sin, bondage, and death, and makes free. Christ- iaiis are to live according to this power and shall be judged by it unto life everlastinir. I)oa.s a jirlga sit on his judgment seat to condemn an innocent man ? iNh), but to defend and protect him. Hence the Judge, that shall be a ter- ror to cvil-d(sers and shall condemn them at tnecml of the world, shall come without sin unto salvation to them that love Ids appearing, Chris tians in tlie Eible ai-e exhorted to live to and for tliis, and the chasten- ings, purgings and trials they have in time are that they might not be condemned with the world ; but in the ■end might be found unto j)raise, &c., when the righteous judge appears. ^Ce believe that every true Christian will be so found when Christ comes. 4tii. What becomes of Christians after their bodies die, and before this Jay of judgment? This earthly house or the body goes back to the dust whence it came. The spirit or soul goes to God who gaye it. (not to sleep.) I do not think the soul or a spirit ofa Christian is eternal life. I believe all men have souls before they are born of God. I do not r.nderstand tluit these .souls are in Christ while the Christian is living; on earth, in the sense that they are not in the body. When the soul leaves the body, the body dies; It is the soul or man that is. quickened, and bonce there tlie qneility or .spTrTTbf that man is good. Christ himself, not thesoul is the eternai life of the Christian, and when we haye the spirit of Christ bearing witness with our spirit, we have the evidence ofsonship. As Christ Inmself i.s oiir eternal life, onr life Islud with Christ. "While living ill the flesh though our souls or spirits (which are uoteteriial life— nor eternal cither, for they had a beginning, tliongh they will never Ii ive an ending) of course remain in the body, but, when they leave, the bodle.s die, and the spirits go to God who gave them, and rest there in life and peace, (not aslee|)) until the end of the world, when Christ shall come again. Tlie bodies are dead and hence tne dead are said to be asleep— in Jesus : “For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which .sleep in Jesus will God brine witli him. ATs, I understand the salvation of Christians will not be fully and cora- pletciy realized, in eternal glory, un til these vile bodies are fashioned like unto the glorious body of our Lord Jesus Christ or when we awake with his likeness. “Who shall chanw O ■ onr vile body, that it may be fash ioned like unto his glorious body,” Ac., Phil. 3:21. The sjiirits of de parted saints rest in ]>eace as it were under the altar, (see Itey. 6 : 9, 11) With yvdiite robes until the end come, or they are in Paradise, in peace and glory; but when the body is also raised from the dead (and if the same body that died does not arise how is it a re.- urrcction ? And why is the body baptised if it will notarise: just as it is the same man that was dead in sins is quickened and saved) incorruptible, and is fashioned like unto the glorious body ofChrist, then redemptioti in full glory .shall be re alized. There have been more ef forts to overturn the doctrine of the resurrection th.au many imagine. There are two extremes into which men are pr'one to run. One is to make created man—when saved in Christ a divine being, as having eternally existed in Christ: (If they are eternally in Christ why choose them in Christ, before the world be gan? For if they are already in Christ there is no need of putting them in him bv choosing; them. Where were they beheld before chosen? W^ere they not beheld as out ofChrist before they vvere chosen in him and as lost before saved ?) And hence a disposition to deny the resurrec tion of the body, or to hold that the something saved is not the Adamic man. The other extreme is Armlnianism, which regards man assavino’ himself, and as being nothing but an Adamic man after he is so saved, which is consistent only with itself. Our brethren are warned against receiving or encouraging a man who goes by the name of Elder James W. Chatham, as he is an impostor. What A Blujs^dhr !—I have just received the Lai^dharks forAng;. 15th in which I find a horrid mis- take on page 148 in my letter under the heading of “ Dreams.” I am there made to say “ In devils’ dreams there are devils’ vanities.” It should read “ In divers dreams, there are divers vanities.” Please read Eccl. 5: 7.
