Q.—Wh^' is meant b^ "make the cap-
tain of their salvation perfect through
sufferings ( Hebrews 2:10)?” Has this
reference to the character of our Lord?
In what respect was he ever imper-
fect? (A. T.)
Answer.—When JeSus divested Him
self of Ills former glory with His
Father, He was "made flesh” (John
1:14)—i. e„ it perfect human being,
and as such He grew in favor with
God and man (Luke 2:52) At thirty
. years of age He offered Himself for
sacrifice, that He might die in Adam’s
stead, nnd tlnft release Adam and all
the race which was in him (unborn)
when he was condemned Ilis willing-
ness to die was symbolized by His bap-
tism when the rather anointed Him
with the Holy Spirit (Acts 10:flS). This
.anointing was Ilis begettai to a new
plane of being—the Divine Before He
£ould receive life by being born as a
^new creature” it was the Father’s
will that Jle should prove His worth!
ness of that high exaltation (Philip
pians 2:9) by‘being obedient to' the I)i
v Vine will during three and tt half years
SG'm’e testing amidst adverse cir
cnmst&bees, even until death (Hebrew's
5:7, 8). His Character ns a '‘new even
ture” wn§ never imperfect, but from
Jffig anointing until HiR death it w’ns

raked Him ITom the dead and exulted
Him to the Divine nature, our Lord .Te-
s&s possessed a matured character,
which fitted Him to be the great King

down—who will then he willing, nil the

Christ’s soul have to die in order to
save man’s? And why did Christ say,

Q.—rWViat is the meaning of the par-
able of the Drag-net in Matthew 13:47-
50.? (D./F.)
Answer.—The Gospel net was first
cast into the spa (the world-, where no
distinction wras recognized between
Jew and Gentile) at Pentecost. From
the day of Pentecost to the present
harvest time it has beeu gathering in
all sorts of fish: and together they con
stitute (he great nominal church, or, as
it .is sometimes termed, the Christian
world, or Christendom. But all these
fish are not of the kind desired by the
Lord to constitute the true Christen-
dom—Christ’s kingdom- \\ bich is to be
set up in glory aud powei at the end of
the prespiit age and the dawu of the
new. Therefore, in the end of tlu* age
a separating w’ork is to be accomplish-
ed, nnd those of the kind desired are to
be carefully gathered out uml preserved,
while the remainder are cast away as
unworthy of the Kingdom honors to
which,ihey were culled. The catching
of (he fish In the Gospel nett tuid the
sorting of them at the end of the ago, *
are twm parts of the one great work of |
making ready a people prepared for the
Lord. Those who have ohsened the
Divinely appointed times and Seasons
will now' devote their energies to Hie
special work of gathering the good fish
into safety rather than to catching
more.

0*—Sit. John declares "Beloved, how
are we the Sons of God.”—John 3:2.
Are we ACTUAL'Sons of God now?
(E. S- M.)
Answer.—The Apostle seems to make
this statement very positive. "Now are
wo the Sous of God” Quite •evidently
it is his thought that, in some sense,
consecrated ones are now Sons of God
To make sure that we have a emmet
Understanding of this passage we

Q.—It is iuggested that there are
two creations according to the Genesis
account—the first, “in the image of
God,” who is a spirit, was spiritual,
and the second was material Con this
view be proven or disproven? (W
E. H.)
Answer.—There would smn to lie
little dlffieultv in proving that this
view is not eorreeL If this were the
intention of the aerount there would
be something to indiente It here m* in

nothing of t!u* kind, and. in fact, all
