G. T. SMITH, of Ind.: A perusal of the tract entitled, “The Two Laws,” will, we think, help you on the principal points introduced in your communication.
J. PHILO, of Mich.: The distinction between the moral and ceremonial laws, is well set forth in the tract entitled, “The Two Laws.” You will find a good argument on Sabbath in last week’s REVIEW. The opponents of the truth have “heaps of teachers,” while the truth itself has but few. It is impossible for them to meet personally all the attacks made upon us. Do the best you can with books; and perhaps the providence of God will so order that you may have help when most needed.
ANNA H. HALE: The only exposition of 2 Cor. 5: 8, to which we can now refer you, is that found in “Which? Mortal or Immortal?” pp. 61, 62.
F. HALL: We think Luke 9: 27, is spoken in reference to the transfiguration which is introduced in the next verse. In that scene was presented a miniature representation of the kingdom of God. Peter understood it so; for he speaks of it as a representation and pledge of the “power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ,” in his kingdom. 2 Pet. 1: 16–18.
J. SHIVELY: We believe there are sufficient physiological reasons for rejecting the use of pork, independent of any considerations which may be drawn from the Scriptures. These reasons are set forth in all the health works which treat particularly upon the subject of diet. Address Health Reformer, Battle Creek, Mich., for further information.
E. RATHBUN: The lines are good; but as poetical tributes to the memory of departed friends are of special interest only to their immediate relatives or associates, it is not thought best to take up space in the paper with them. Unless the person has occupied a public position, and is generally known, it is sufficient to put such lines into the hands of the bereaved, to whom they would be of interest, and by whom they would be highly prized.
