[All questions to this department will be answered which to the editors will seem to minister to the good of the readers and to the mission of the paper. The same question can not be answered repeatedly in the same volume. The name and address must accompany question, not for publication, but as an evidence of good faith, and that answer may be made by letter if deemed advisable. It is well always to enclose a stamp for reply.]
A Word to Our Inquirers.—Here is a sample of many inquiries which come to us: “Please explain the following scriptures: Gal. 3: 19; Eph. 4: 11; Rom. 5: 13, 14; 1 Cor. 12: 28.” Now these scriptures involve many questions. The fullest kind of explanation would carry us to other scriptures and other parts of God’s word. Brief explanations might not touch the point in the inquirer’s mind at all. Therefore we must insist that the particular points in the scriptures must be stated in the questions asked. This will make it very much better for the one who desires information, and very much better for the one answering the question.
