CanadaAgreesToCall IrelandByProperName

AnannouncementintheCanadian HouseofCommonsbytheMinisterforExternalAffairs,Mr.LesterPearson,isof specialinteresttoAustraliaaswellastothis countryinviewofthediplomaticdisagreementbetweenIrelandandAustraliainaccreditinganAmbassadortoDublin.

Mr.R.H.Small.ProgressiveConservativememberforToronto,Danforth, saidthebillswereincorrect, becausetheycalledthe countryIreland.Theproper designation,heargued,was "TheRepublicofSouthern Ireland."

Mr.Pearsonsaiditwas truethatthe26Countiesof SouthernIrelandwere knownastheIrishFree Statefrom1921to1937,but undertheIrishConstitution of1937,thenameofthe Statewas"Eire,"or,inthe Englishtranslation,"Ireland."

In1949,Irelandsevered herlastremaininglinkwith theBritishCrownbya statutecalledtheRepublic ofIrelandAct.Italsowas truethattheActdeclared thedescriptionoftheState asthe"RepublicofIreland."

Mr.Pearsoncontinued: "However,Ibelievethat Actdoesnotchangethe

nameoftheStatewhich wasestablishedbytheConstitution,andwhichcould onlybechangedbyconstitutionalamendment.

"Itwouldbeextremely difficult,indeed,forusto negotiateagreementswitha countryinanamethat countrydoesnotacceptfor itself."

Q.:Matt.5:10saysofthe followersofChrist"theirs isthekingdomofheaven."

R.:Hedoesnotsay"the Kingdomoftheheavens," asJehovahWitnessestranslateit.

Q.:Rev.20:5-6saysthey shallreignwithChristfor athousandyears.

R.:St.Johnisspeaking symbolically.Aliteralinterpretationofthe"thousandyears"isentirelyat variancewiththemethod therestoftheApocalypse demands.

NumberNotLiteral

Thenumber,therefore,is nottobetakennumerically butasafigurativeexpressionmeaninganindefinitely longage.

TheProtestant"New CommentaryonHolyScrip- ture"rightlysays,therefore, thatthe"1,000years"symbolisethewholeperiodbetweenthecomingofChrist intheIncarnationandHis secondcoming,whenever thattakesplace,attheend oftheworldtojudgeall mankind.Theideaofa literal"Millennium,"as taughtbyJehovahWitnesses,isquitefalse.

Q.:Rev.14:1-3speaksof 144,000being"purchasedfromtheearth."

R.:Thatdescriptionoccursinanotherofthesym-bolicalvisionsgrantedto St.John.Thenumber 144,000,thesquareof12a thousandfold,isafigurative expressionforaperfected number,anditreferstothe

wholenumberoftheredeemed.Itdoesnotmean literally144,000. Theinterpretationsofthe BookofRevelationbyJehovahWitnessesbringout thetruthoftheremarkby theCongregationalistScripturescholar,Prof.C.H. Dodd,thatunqualifiedfreedomofbiblicalinterpretationhasledtolimitless aberrations, exemplified particularlyintheexploitationofthemoreobscure apocalypticwritingssuchas theBookofRevelation, whichbecame"thelicensed playgroundofeverycrank." ("TheBibleToday,"p.23.)

QuestionOfSize

Q.:DoesnotLk.12:32 speakofa"littleflock?"

R.:St.Lukerecordsthat Christspokeinsuchterms toHishandfulofdisciples whentellingthemnotto fearthattheymightlack temporalnecessities.They werea"littleflock"indeed whenHespoketothem.

Q.:WelearnfromActs2, andfromRev.21:9that sincePentecostGodhas beencallingandpreparing a"bride"fortheLamb,to sharethekingdomwith Him.

Q.:Since,inthesame way,alloursenseorgans areadaptedtomaterialexperiences,howdidPeter,JamesandJohnhearGod onthemountduringthe transfigurationofChrist?

ButGod,asapurely spiritualbeing,hasno organsofspeech.Whatthe apostlesheardwasnotthe voiceofGodasotherpeople canhearourvoices.To conveyanaudibleutterance totheapostles,therefore, Godmiraculouslycaused atmosphericvibrationssimilartothoseahumanvoice wouldcauseinspeakingthosesamewords;andthe apostlesheardthosemiraculouslycausedvibrations.

R.:InNumbers14:14. MosessaidtheEgyptians hadbeenmadetorealise that"thou,Lord,artamong thispeople(i.e.,theIsraelites),andthatthou,Lord, artseenfacetoface,and thatthycloudstandethover them,andthatthougoest beforethem inapillar offirebynight."
