Question Corner

By Editor

"IF YE WILL INQUIRE, INQUIRE YE."

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 The name and address must accompany question, not for publication, but as an evidence of good faith, and that answer may be made by letter if deemed advisable.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.

To Our Querists.—We wish to say very clearly and strongly, as it is said in the note above, that we answer no anonymous questions. We must have the name of the writer in evidence of good faith. We do not wish the name for publication. We do not publish the name unless it is desired. We use only the initials, or any other proper designation the questioner may desire, such as "X Y Z," "Reader," a number, etc. We do not make the names of our correspondents public; but all correspondence not signed finds the quickest way to the waste-basket. This we do not desire, and our correspondents can easily prevent it.
