"IF YE WILL INQUIRE, INQUIRE YE."
By Editor
This Inquirers' Department is conducted for the purpose of helping those who are studying the Bible. The answers are oftentimes only suggestive. They are never to be considered infallible, only as they agree with the infallible Word. The writer who may answer them does not consider that his opinion is infallible. He will simply give the best that he has, and plead with the inquirer to search the Word. Such questions only will be answered as, to the editors, seem to minister to the good of the readers and to the mission of the paper. We can not answer repeatedly in the same volume questions upon the same scripture. The name and address must accompany question, not for publication, but as an evidence of good faith, and that answer may be made by letter if deemed advisable. No letters are answered which do not contain the name of the writer. It is well always to enclose stamp for reply. Note.—It is impossible, in the nature of the case, to keep our questions up to date. We have always on hand from ten to fifty questions waiting; so we hope our inquirers will be patient. Sooner or later their questions will be answered by mail or in the "Question Corner." Sometimes questions are asked which have been answered for others. In such case it is impossible for us to answer them twice. We hope that all who ask questions will read the answers to others, and in these they may very frequently find their own questions answered. This is true also as regards articles. We have questions concerning the beast and his image and the mark; all these are answered in the articles on the Revelation.
