Mrs. Almon has our sincere thanks for bar splendid letter on flowers, it is so clear and concise that even those who have not succeeded may now take heart and begin again We have others in Our Household who have helped t:s in the past and I hope they will lay aside ' this paper only to lake up their pens and send us flower letters. If each ; ®ne will tell her plans and how she - treats some certain flower she will con fer a benefit cn many. Who makes a success of tuberoses, who of peonies, who of lilies of the val ley? Tell us how you keep the bugs off your roses and how you make your ll iacaa bloom. Among our 100,000 subscrib ers there are many who will thank you for your help. Don’t wait until the sea son has gone.

There should be a finer strain tn a woman than in a man for he Is made of the dust of the earth and she is made of one of his riba—consequently the dust that our heavenly Father’s * touch had made a little finer by the second handling; but she was made a help meet for man just as Erroina says, and not a toy or idol. „ 5 ’ Notice the history of the nations, just as high as the women get the nation atays. Hand In hand they must go, women perhaps a step tn advance; but never either taking a place the other considers Inferior. Much is said about woman suffrage, and some have writ ten me long letters against It. Had the letters shown one single evidence of log ic they would have been published, but It injures any cause to fail to show good reasons why you support It. and It helps the other side Persona I iy, 1 can get along without a vote; but it does seem absurd that I . must be taxed and the money voted to * all .’sorts of uses by men who haven’t had sense or Industry enough to ac- . cumulate anything to pay tpxes on. The great question of bonds is now before the people of Atlanta and there are hundreds of women who own property, and thousalnds who have children in the 111-yentilated places they call school houses who would vote for the bonds, yet they are denied the privilege, while every negro hack driver and Decatur street loafer can be sent to the polls and voted like sheep driven in a pas ture. ’ You can’t say that the question is al ways going to stay ak it is. Too many thinking men are now convinced of the injustice. I'll ventuure to say that 10.000 women who read this page know that if they had a say in the school question in stead of the “knot on the log.” they now call a school commissioner, things would be different. I may not see it. but I believe there are plenty who read this vho will one day look back on this splutter over wo man suffrage and smile at some of the prophecies, just as I can look back with •miles and see the stir, and remember the 111 natured things said twenty years ago about the business woman.

Fill them with the best life has. and work at the best life offers, but keep l i mind the great thought that the heart must never be In a condition that would unfit it for the King’s presence.

LIZZIE O. THOMAS. Recipe for Selecting and Cooking a Husband In selecting a husband, care should be taken to select one not fully matured and not too old. Tbe former is Hable to be soft and spongy and the latter to be tonsil and HI fla vored. Great eare should be taken in prepar ins. a* rough handling la Hable to spoil them. Some women go about it as though their hus bands were bicycle tires. afcd they were obliged to blow them up constantly. Moat of them will do with less wind. In selecting a hus band you should not be guided by tbe silvery appearance, as in buying a mackerel; nor whotlr bv tbe golden tint, as if wanting a salmon. It la always better to select hitn yourself, as servants or agents are not always to he trusted. Tbe best are not generally kept in the market but come ,to your door unsought. Taste* differ—some keep them constantly in hot water, others let them freer* by their care ’.e««neas and Indifference, while others by irri tating words and ways keep them constantly in a stew, or roast them, and some keep them in a pickle all of their lives. None of three methods result In making good and tender low bands, far better to have none unle’s you intend to be patient and prepare him with care. Tbe preserving kettle may he of the fin est porcelain or simply an earthen pipgin. and the cloth In which he Is wrapped linen or only cotton, but It shoe Id be nicely washed, ironed and well made and meneded with tbe required number of buttons and strings. Tie him Into the kettle with a strong silk cord, called ■•com fort.” as the one called “duty” is apt to t>c weak and be Is apt to fly out of tlw kettle and be burned and crusty on tbe edges Since, like crabs and oysters, you have to cook them while alive, make a clear, steady fire of love, neatness and cheerfulness. Then sit as near this ss seems to agree with him. If be sputters and flsass, do not he anxious; some husbands do this until they are quite well done. Add a little sugar In the form of what confection ers call kisses, but no vinegar or pepper on any account. A little spice improves them, but it must be used with judgment and con sideration. Do not stick any sharp instru ment tn him to see If he is becoming lender, stir him gently, watch all tbe while lest be He too flat and close to tbe kettle and so be come useless. You can not fall to know when he is done. If thus treated, you will find him digestible and agreeable, and he will keep as long as you want, unless you become care less end set In too cool a place. Some Good Resolutions Miss Thomas: I heartily agree with you In vour “Chat "of January 28. 1 know several who. like that mother, will let debts go un paid to satisfy childish desires, and will also go In debt so" deep they will never pay ont. to satisfy their own desires or their children, and juat as long as they can get anything they have no judgment, never think of pay day. Tbev do not want to sec another dross s little better or a neighbor's children have something their children have not. I am very often called “stingy and close fisted" because I live close and try to pay my debts. I haw denied myself and children a number of wants (not neceesltiesl in trying to make an honest liv ing. and if I can never have tbe luxury of my neighbor, without having them at the expense of my creditors I shall never have them. I have beard people say. “My creditors d>> not need it like I do, and I have got the money and am going to use it as I please.” But right here 1 want to say a word. It is true the one you owe may not need it as i<ad as yon do. but that same person no doubt is owing another person who is in as bad need or worse than you. and will suffer ft you dop't pay. Miss Thomas. I will give you and the House hold my resolutions, wblsb I adopted before I was married. I am resolved to work hard, live close and saving, practicing self-denial as far aa necesuity will demand, and try with tbe help of God to pay all just debts and then if there is anything left, use it to the best novnnKge. so help me God. And another one: I am resolved to never try ts get rich by cheating or swindling my fellowman or by not P«ylng debts, so ..eip me God. Well. Miss Thomas, thia is the first I have ever written to tbe paper, but when I read vour “Chat" on that subject. I could not keep "from writing and telling you how well I, liked what you wrote. I can tell you. If the House bold never knows It. I will close, but I want tn hear from some of tbe good writers on this subject. I am a subscriber to the Semi Weekly Jour nal and like It fine, and would not be without It for anything. 1 like all tbe departments of it. Your friend, HENRY ARP. To the Flower Lovers Dear Miss Thomas: Seeing Mrs. Harpers request for some of tbe Household readers to write their experience with flowers, I will be glad to chat swblle with tbe flower lovers. N-w. Mrs. Harper, if yon want to keep sweet never try to mix flowers and chickens. t have tries) that and it Is not a success. 1 would like to tell you what I have in my flower garden, and how I have them arranged, but f«r tear my letter will grow too long. *lll tell you how 1 grow some of my choice annual flowv-rs. There is nothing mysterious about growing Howers, bnt s few simple rules must be tot towed or tbe results will be a failure. 1 plan: my vegetables in rows, bnt| for flowers I pre fer beds and borders down walks and around fencing. For beds I would use such annual flowers ns poppies. i«hlcx, candy tuft, tall nasturtium, etc..

Some make the mistake of trying Io grow flowers that ere beet adapted to other climates. All the kinds I have mentioned are well adapted to the south.

Most of the other animals l THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA. GEORGIA, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 8, have mentioned seem to grow better for having been transplanted. Ti.in out such flowers as poppies. petunias, dianthue. etc., from 8 to 12 inches apart. Sweet peas should bo sown in drills about two inches deep end not thinned. I never use any time with such Howers a* zinnias, matlgolds and bachelor buttons. i haven’t room for them, although some people prefer then- to tlie silky poppy.

Appreciative Words Dear Mi*s Thomas: 1 have been a silent reader of this page for quite a while, and feel it would be selfish of me to not let my appre ciation In’ known to the many g<xsi writers. There have been some fine letters written for tlios page, but I especially enjoy those written about Sunday schools. Every communi ty ought to take pride In its Sunday school work.

It is a very sad sight to see a young life ruined by cigarette smoking. Mr. Bach, whore art thou?

Why don’t sonic of ye talented ones give us another letter on music? One of that kind always touches a responsive chord in my heart. I lake a great delight in music and to me there Isn’t anything more charming than music sung and plavcd well. I agne with the poet when l;e said: “Music hath charms to soothe rue savage breast."

Are you meet ing your pleasures and difficulties as n good brave soldier taking every little thing as it cotnes? If so you are fine soldiers. 1 rood J. C. Weeks’ letter In regard to a true teacher. Yes. indeed, every word tie says in their defense is true. I know a lot of good tee'-hers ami I will say something of one man I have been in company with in vacation. He says going from city to city teaching, he is expected to attend every denomination some ‘time, and not only that, but when tbe hat ts passed to chip In of his cash, and as I am well acquainted with this man I am sure he does every opportunity. Then- he is to look after everything concerning the school and If a good sister’s child happens to be corrected a little often he is worried no little by having to an swer telephone calls, which consumes bls time and do neither party any good. Os course there are classes of teachers. I pre sume some would not care, but this man seemed to want everything to be smooth and peaceful, and from his honest talk I gathered that ot wa* not all a bed of roses for a good teacher. Now as Mr. Weeks has said a word for our teachers. 1 want to raise my voice and say c kind work for the good mothers that most al ways strive and deprive themselves of neces sary things a lot of times for their careless children. How often do we see mothers call on children to do just a , very small duty, and the child refuse or go at it with a reluctant step or slighting wotfl? Now I want each girl and bny t<> respect mother; If she ts tired take up her work as far as you can and never let her think she has a thankless child. The de mands on most mothers are heavy any way. Well, some or.e has taken the name Tube rose. and it is so near Rosa the name that 1 call your attention to tbe difference, and again sign myself. ROSA. Concerning War Times i Dear Mias Thomas: ' I am a subscriber to The Semi-Weekly Jour nal and see so many good letters from the Household member*. It makes me very proud indeed to read them and especially those writ ten by the old soldiers telling of the times away back in the sixties. I am not a soldier i but my father was. I can remember very well back in old Troup county. Ga., going with my father and brother to hear Ben Hill and Ben Bigham anti many other old war heroes make their war sj>eeche«. Methinks I can bear them now as they would stand and tell the young men to lease their fathers and mothers and sweethearts aud go and fight for their country. I I can see them with their caps and uniform 1 as they would march, beating the drums and blowing the fife. It would make the blood boil almost in even a boy's veins to bear what ' they would tell ' was going to happen. I had eight cousins all young men, who volunteered • mid went to the front. Four of them were the Williams brothers and four were the Phillips brothers Two of the Phillips boys were killed, two came home and arc yet 'alive, one of the I Williams boys was killed and three came home I and are yet living. My father was a special ■ friend of Joseph E. Brown, then governor of • Georgia, whose photograph I have the pleasure ; of seeing In The ..ournal on January 28, 1910. My father was known as one of Brown's pets • for when Governor Frown called for hl* men my father left all that was dear to him and went to defend the grand old state of Georgia. ' Mv father s name was T. B. Barrh, we then I lived in a few miles of LaGrange, Gs. Mr. W. H. Chestnutt tell* the Household ’ something about his civil war bank notes. I have one In my possession that my father gave me when I was a small boy. It is ten dollar bill No. 70515. dated Richmond, February 1, 1884. It M F. Bell's name on It and it looks like it might bo O. K. now. It is ve«— sacred to me because it was given *o me by my father who has passed over the river and is now “resting under the shade of the trees.’* I I would like to hear some more from some i old soldier, as I love to read of the times that I tried the i-luek and nerve of men aud women. Good wishes to all the Household. Respectfully. J. H BARRH. Roanoke. Ala., Route 4, box 18.

How many of us are going to form good resolutions land more than that) carry them out and do all we can to make our fellowman happy? If we would be more considerate of each other's feelings there would be far less unhappiness: just an expression of the face has at deep meaning, so why go with a frown when a smile or a pleasant expression will bring to others the same thought and so 'tls we can pass on the good that others may taste the sweetness too. Some people do not seem to have any feeling for others, especially the ones to whom they owe good feelings. Life Is too short to spend even one moment of time thoughtlessly for we will never pass this way again. So. let's be np and doing all the good we can. Many of us may think If we can't do something great that they will not try to do anything. This, however, isn't the way.

MILITANT’S SURRENDER TO THE CHURCH TRIUMPHANT. “Say ye not. a federation, to all them to whom this people shall say, A Federation; neith er fear.ve their fear, nor be afraid.’’ —Isaiah 8:12. BROOKLYN. Feb. s.—The fourth and tinal meeting for the consideration of doctrinal sur render necessary to church federation was n>ld today. Brooklyn's largest auditorium. the Academy of Music being crowded. Pastor C. T. Russell, of the Brooklyn Tabernacle, delivered the address as follows: Having viewed the past three Sundays that the leading denominations would need to sacri fice in the interest of federation, we come to day to the final discussion of this series—the Church Militant and Triumphant and her Inter est In the federation movement. Tzet ua endeaf or to take so broad a view of this subject that there will be no room for disagreement on the part of true Christiana of any denomination. 1 thank God that those who bear bls name as being bls people no longer consider it to be bls pleasure that they should burn one another at the stake or cut each others* tongues out by the roots, or even do these things in « figurative way by slanderously cutting and roasting each other with their tongues. I thank God that we all are coming to appreciate more than ever be fore the meaning of St. Paul’s words. “If any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of His.” Rom. 8:9. Snneceasary as It may be to explain to tills F and intelligent audience the significance of cur topic. The Church Militant and The Church Triumphant. I must think beyond tno thousands present of the millions who tomor row will receive reports of this discourse from that great channel of the world’s progress, the secular press. Hence I explain that the term Church Militant signifies the Chnrch In war fare, struggling with the powers of evil, while the Chnrch Triumphant signifies the Church victorious, gloriously joined with her Lord. Hie Henvenly Brldegr<oin. as his Bride and Queen In the great millennial kingdom soon to bless and uplift the world of mankind. 1 should further ndd that while in this discussion we have considered the various denominations of Christendom and their creeds, we must today Ignore all human system and creeds. We must take the broad, general view ground of the Scriptures find recognize only one church. Nor may we make the mistake of saying that the one church Is one sect. No sect, no de nomination. however groat nnd Influential r.n.l numerous and rich, either In sordid or historic wealth, can be conceded the right to appropri ate the name which our Lord gave to all truly His disciples. Surely none of us l« sectarian enough to dispute this promise. We must learn to recognize the Church of Christ from the same viewpoint as does the Head of the Chnrch. We must learn the force of St. Pe ter's words to Cornelius. “Os a truth I |>er celve that God is no respecter of persons; but in every nrtlon lie that feareth Him and work eth righteousness is accepted with Him.” (Acts 10:34.551. The very fact that we are discussing federation, or stlii better, the n - union of Christians, attests that we disagree with the extremes of our forefathers in re spect to treating as heretics and enemies those who differ from us in trlffling details, while they agree with us in the broad generalities of apostolic teaciting. Taking, therefore, the Scriptural view of the church, we recognize it as the “Body of Christ” nnd many members, over which Ho Is the Head. It Is composed of consecrated fol lowers of Christ irrespective of all denomina tional lines—those who, turning from sl6, ac cept Jesus as their Redeemer, through whom they have forgiveness of sins and reconciliation to the Father—those who have become disciples of Christ, taking up their cross to follow Him and who have received the begetting of the Holy Spirit. Who could dispute that these are the Church of Christ? Who shall say that th \v must belong to this communion or that, or lose their relationship to the Head. Christ Jesus? The apostles never referred to Baptist Chris tians. Methodist Christians. Catholic Christians. Presbvbterlan Christians, etc., but merely to J those whom we have described nnd whom they , styled saints—"the Chnrch of the living Go-1. ' whose names are written In heaven.” (Hob.. i 12:22; 1 Tim. 3:15). Let us keep strictly wit'i- ! in the lines of God's word and avoid the errors of the east. Let us today consider this Church i as the Church Militant and to be the Church ! Triumphant •ITIE CHURCH MILITANT. If w» all agree that we have before our minds j the real Church, the Church of the New Testi ment. let ns notice that there is a nominal ] Church nlso and that we are not competent to , fully determine which arc the rcnl nnd whti-n j are the nominal Christians except by the tests j which our lord has given—“by their fruits ye; shall know them.” While the real Church of fully .’onsecrnterl believers, faithful to the l.or-t I nnd His word and the principles of righteous- ( ne»s. f« represented by a very small number. | there is a nominal Church related thereto as is | a shell to the kernel of a nut. The nominal < Church, includes those whose manner or at- I tendance in worship Implies a relationship to - Christ without having fully turned from sin . even in their hearts, and without having made a full consecration to serve the Lord. This ; nominal class may bo sub-divided into - believ- I ers who are favorably disposed toward Christ nnd righteousness: others who regard the Church ns merely a moral club designed for «o- ■ rial and moral benefit or influence upon tne world, in counteracting sinful influences; still others bitter at heart, sinful anti selfish, hav- | ing no faith whatever in Jesus and no enre ( whatever for morality and who use the name , of Christ hypocritically, merely as a garment ; mortal every day women, women who have | their faults, or else they could not live in the ; same world with the men. I used to hold with I the popular opinion that women were a great . deal better than the men. but I have come to | the conclusion that they arc pretjty evenly matched. Woman was not made for ’a man to j set up on a pedestal to worship, but a« a help meet one who will stand by his side and share | hl* joy and sorrows, prosperity or adversity, t and always be his companion nnd friend.

Thus we find the nominal Church to con sist of: (1* Hypocrites; (2) Moralists: till Indifferent*; (4) Seekers lifter godliness; (J) The true Church. “the sanctified in Christ Jeans”—“The members of the Body ct Christ” —prospective members of the Church Triumphant. FIGHTING WITHOUT AND WITHIN. Every member of “the church of the first born” was called “to suffer with Christ” that be may be also later glorified with him in the millennial kingdom. Only those who will stand the test of faithfulness under sufferings, trials, crosses, self-sacrifices, have the promise of sharing with Christ the glories of the Church Triumphant. “If we be d-ad with him. we shall .also live with him; if wo suffer with him, I we shall also reign with him; if we deny him, he also will deny us.”—2 Tim. 2:11. 12. We are not to understand that God has glori fied sufferings, so that all sufferings will bring rewards of blessings and his favor. To suppose suffering In general a token of holiness nnd ;>erfectton would.be to assume that the world of mankind is mote holy than angels of heaven. So far ftom putting a premium upon suffering God assures us that the time is coming when “there shall be no more sighing, no more crying, no more dying.” when all the former things of pain and death shall be at an end. But that now th» suffering that Is appreciated of God and that will “work out for ns a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.” Is our participation in the sufferings of Christ—suffering for his sake, for the sake of the principles of righteousness, for the sake of and in the interest of the follower* of Christ. All of the true church whose names are writ ten in heaven should be so zealous, so loyal to the principles of righteousness that they would suffer, the just for the unjust, for well-doing and not for evil-doing, through misrepresenta tion and not justly. Those willing to thus take up their cross and follow In the footsteps of Jesus sre from all denominations of Christians —not many altogether. They constitute what the Lord calls his “little flock.” saying. “Fear not, little flock: it Is your Father's good pleas ure to give you the kingdom"—the millennial kingdom, under which all the families of the earth will be blessed and uplifted in due time. —Acts 3:19-21. But why should the church fight? I* she not commanded to live peaceably with all? Are not Christians exhorted to war not with carnal weapons and to be smitten on both cheeks, rather than to return evil for evil? Whers. then, comes in the Tight? Who are the foes? Surely none would assail a non-resistant! We reply that the facts do not bear out that suggestion. Our Lord and his apostles were peaceable and non-resistant, obedient to kings and laws, and yet they suffered violent death, as well as stripes and imprisonment. They had their names cast out as evil. And those who persecuted and maligned them verily thought that thev did God service. All who follow in the Lord's footsteps must expect similar treat ment. because, as Jesus said. "The servant Is not greater than his Lord.” "Marvel not. If the world hate you. ye know that it hated me the world would love his own; but liecause ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, there fore the world hateth you.”—(John 15:18, 19). The Master said. “The darkness hateth the light.” which explains why the chief relig ionists of his time, being of wrong condition of heart. Instigated his crucifixion. They were of the darkness, living outwardly holy, while in heart they were far from consecrated to God.

Notwithstanding the fact that heretic roasting has be**omc unpopular and intolerable i to the world, there are methods of privately J and symbolically roasting, slashing, wounding and killing practised by those estranged from God. though sometimes highly esteemed of men and wearing vestments only slightly, less glorious tbau those worn by Caiaphas and Pilate. “WHO SCOURGETH EVERY SON.” The Scriptures explain that there is a two- 1 fold reason why Jesus and all of His followera are required to suffer for righteousness’ sake 1. It is requisite to their own character de-; ’ velopment that they ahouid not only profess absolute loyalty to God and to truth, but that this loyalty should be put to the test. Thus we read of our Lord that though "holy, harmless, undefiled,” He was proved perfect In His loy alty by the things which He endured—by His otiedlence even unto death, even the igno minious death of the cross. The same princi ple. th- Scriptures assure us operate in connec tion with ail whom God is now calling to be Emmanuel's associates in the Millennial King dom. Thus must suf er with Him if they would reign with Him. They must walk in His steps. —Gal. 5:11; 6:12; T Thess. 1:5; 2 Tim. 1:12; i 2:9; 3:13. 2. These experiences are designed of God to qualify us to be judges of the world during the Millennial age—that ,ae Christ, Head and Body, may be merciful aud faithful towards the peo- i pie of earth. Likewise It Is proper that the ' world should know that its judges have thus been tempted in their weakness and in their endeavors for righteousness —and more wiling to help them up. up, up to human perfection than Io consign them to the second death. Although the conflict has lasted for more than IS centuries it has not been long for any . single individual. With the Master Himself the trial period was only three an da half years. On 1 the whole, as compared with eternity the entire gospel age of sacrifice, as the Master said, is but “a P*tlc while." And as for the af flictions an., testings themselves. St. Paul gives ■ the proper thought, saying, that at most they i ‘ are “light afflictions bnt for a moment and i not worthy to be compared with the glory that shall be revealed in us," the overeomers.— Rom., 8:18. | - THE CHURCH TRIUMPHANT. "bhe church in glory and in power will contain i no hypocrites and no merely nominal Christians . , —oniy the trne, the saintly, "the sanctified in ■ ’ Christ Jesus.” Nevertheless it will be composed ' of two classes, aa Illustrated by tbe priests and i the Levites in the type. Jesus glyorlfied, the , antitypical high priest, tonil his faithful foot- I step followers, the antitypical under priesthood . I —otherwise His "bride." Together these are • i styled a royal priesthood or a kingdom of , . priests. St. Paul tells us that Melchlzedek. who • was a priest upon his throne, merely typified ; the church triumphant— Head and Body—tbe • Christ, “a priest forever after the order of • Melchlzedek—a priest upon his throne. During ! tlie M.oennlal age taht glorlons priest. Head I ' and Members, will bless and uplift, role and judge, the work of mankind, with a view to ■ recovering as many as possible, as many as will i obey Him, from the ruin of sin and death. Dur- . ! Ing the thousand years of tbe Melchlzedek reign . i all the families of the earth will be blnessed with opjiortunltles of return to human perrec tion and to earthly Paradise. The willing and I obedient will be destroyed lu the second death. i lAt the close of the Millennium, Christ's media j torfal kingdom will terminate. As the Levites were much more numerous than their brethren, the priests, so there Is , another class In the Church corresponding, styled “a great company,” whose number no man knoweth," In that they were not specially , predestinated. These less earnest, less zcal ' ous than the faithful "little flock." will reach . • a plane of glory through tribulation also, lint I with less joy. These, we are told, will b« I with the Bride as her companion*. As I they will serve God in His temple, but not be members of the temple class, the priesthood I These will have palm branches and be before ■ tbe throue, while the Royal Priesthood will I have crowns and be in the thrones as members I' of the Bodv of Christ. THE CHURCH'S MILITANT SURRENDER. All the soldiers of tbe cross, experiencing ■ fightings without and within against the pow ers of sin and darkness and their own weak nesses. surely long for tbe time of their “change" In the "First Resurrection.” They long for the time when this mortal shall put on immortality; when this corruptible shall have • i put on incorruption; when we shall be like our j ’ i Redeemer and see Him as He is and share | His glory. Gladly, therefore, do all of God’s consecrated people wait for the blessed • change promis'd at our Ixird’s second coming. . when that which is sown iu weakness shall be raised in power; when that which Is sown in I dislionor shall be raised in glory; when that which is sown on animal laxly shall be raised | a spiritual body. <1 Cor. 15:42-44 ; 53.64). Sun iy i such having prayed Thy Kingdom come; Toy I n 111 be done on earth as in heaven,” are wait ing for the King and God's time for establisli- | lug His Kingdom for tbe blessing of the world. I No wonder tbe apostle wrote of these, “Our- i selves also, which have tbe first fruits of the i Spirit, even we ourselves groan witbin our \ selves, waiting for tbe adoption, to-wit. tael | redemption of our Body"—the Body of Christ, I I tlie Church, through the power of the "first 1 j resurrection” change. This will be our glad ' ’ surrender to the Church Triumphant, when we j I shall bear the Master's voice saying. “Well j done, goixl and faithful servants; enter ye into | ' the joys of your Lord. You have been faithful . I over a few things. I will make you ruler over . many things”—participants lu the Millennial I Kingdom glory and its dominion of earth for I tbe uplifting of mankind.—l Cor. 6:2; Rev. 2:36.
