BIBLE
STUDIES
By
FRANK
SHEPHERD
There have never boon any
successors to the Twelve Apos-
tles, No one since the generation
contemporary with Christ lias
!x>en able to qualify as an apos-l
tie. No one can show signs of an,
apostle today. To Ik* an aitostle!
one hud to have companion with
the eleven all the time from the I
baptism of John until after the,
resurrection. (Acts 1:21).
The signs of a Apostle was the!
laying on of hands. See Acts 8:14-
17; 2 Corinthians 12:12. The
claim Is made by some men to-
day that they are possesed of
such |Hiwer. The falsity of this)
cuaint Is easily discerned when
we discover those sup|ioscd to
Ik* thus endowed are absolutely :
unable to exercise the power!
clearly manifested in the long i
ago.
Since the apostles were to be
Ridded into ALL trutli it is not
truth so far as Christianity is
concerned unless they s|Htke it
or endorsed it.
Nothing that does not have the
affirmative endorsement of the
aiiostles can lie Itelleved today.
In religious practice nothing
that diH-s not have the endorse-
ment of precedent approves! l»y
ihe apostles is authorized by
Jesus the Christ.
Worship with the CHURCH
OF CHRIST tomorrow evening
at 7:30 o'clock, Corner of Fourth
and Elm. (Bald Adv.)
Finish Hunt in Town
MT. CARMEL, III. (U.R) -Two '
sportsmen went hunting here in
the downtown business district.
Returning from a day in the
fields, they stopped in town
when a quail, which they
thought dead, got out of one of
the hunter’s pocket. They cor-
nered the bird, and this time
made sure it was dead.
Indians of the southwest made|
matting, how strings, -andals, I
rope and fabrics out of fiber of1
