ASTONISHING STUPIDITY.

By R. F. Cottrell

In conversation with an aged minister of very good repute, I mentioned a person who admitted that the 2300 days of Dan. 8:14 had ended. He replied substantially, “Well, what if they have ended?”
If the days are ended, the promised event is taking place; and the definite time was appointed that we, on earth, might know when this work is being done.
“What is the cleansing of the sanctuary?”
It is the closing work of our High Priest in Heaven, the blotting out of the sins of all his people.
“Do you think Heaven needs cleansing?”
How astonishing that the teachers of the people, and those too who have had ample opportunity to be informed on a subject of such thrilling interest, should manifest such stupidity as to re-iterate the silly objections that have been fully answered a hundred times! R. F. COTTRELL.
