By ARTHUR MOODY
Blind Emil Jensen of Dubois,
Idaho, became a Mormon forty-
three years ago in Odense, Fyn,
Denmark, but now at 68 years of
age he has renounced that error
and was baptized into Christ’s
body by Brother Arthur Moody
of Pocatello, Idaho, on August 9,
1943.
Not being able to read, because
of his blindness, Bother Jensen
listens to his little radio to pass
away the last few days of his life.
It was by radio that he became
interested in the Church of Christ
after listening to Brother Otis
Gatewood of Salt Lake City,
Brother L. D. Webb and Arthur
Moody of Pocatello, Idaho, broad-
cast the gospel every Sunday
morning.
Sees a Difference
Before being baptized Brother
Jensen said, “I’ll not be worth
much to- the church in this life;
I’m poor and handicapped. But I
must prepare for eternity!” He
commented on the difference be-
tween the denominational and the
Church of Christ radio preachers,

Timmerman Goes to Pocatello
A. M. Timmerman of Port
Arthur, Texas, is now working
with Brother Arthur Moody in
the church at Pocatello, Idaho,. He
arrived at Pocatello on Sept 4.
Brother Timmerman is * a
graduate of Harding College,
Searcy, Arkansas. Giving up ideas
of being paid a salary he goes
to Pocatello to live with the -
Moodys on the same financial
support they have been receiving.
He and Brother Moody are now
able to contact more people and
do twice as much work as Brother
Moody could do alone.

O ‘Again it came to pass on the day
& when the sons of God came to
present themselves before JC-ho-vth,
that Satan came also among them to
present himself before Ji-h0-v4h. 2
And J4-h0-vAh said unto Satan, From
whence comest thou? And Satan an-
swered J4-hd-vAh. and said. From
going to and fro in the earth, and from
walking up and down in it. 3 And Ji-
hb-vih said unto Satan, Hast thou con-
sidered my servant J6b? 'for there is
none like him in the earth, a perfect
and an upright man, one that feanth
God, and tumeth away from evil: and
h« still bholdeth fast his integrity,
although thou movedst me against
him, ’to destroy him ‘without cause.
4 And Satan answered j4-hd-vAh, and
said. Skin for skin, yea, all that a man
hath win he give for his life. 5 dBut
put forth thy hand now, and touch his
bone and his flesh, and he will renounce
thee to thy face. 6 And J4-hd-v4h
said unto Satan, Behold, he la in thy
' hand; only spare his life.
7 So Satan went forth from the pres-
ence of J4-hO-v4h, and smote J Ob with
•sore boils from the sole of his foot
unto hiacrown. 8 And he took him a
potsherd to scrape himself therewith;
and /he sat among the ashes. 9 Then
said his wife unto him. Dost thou still
hold fast thine integrity? renounce
God, and die. 10 But he said unto her.
Thou speakest as one of the ’foolish
women speaketh. What? ‘'shall we
receive good at the hand of God. and
shall we not receive evil? *ln all this
did not! 0b sin with his lips. - ‘
11 Now when job's three friends
heard of all this evil that was come
upon him. they came every one from
his own place: Sl-I-phAz the »Tt-mAn-
ita, and Bil^dAd the IShu'-hlte, and
ZO-phMr the Nt-l-ml-thlte; and they
made an appointment together to come
to ibemoar him and to comfort him.
12 And when they lifted up their eyes
Afar off, and knew him not, they lifted
up their voice, and wept; and they
“rent every one his robe, and "sprin-
kled dust upon their heads toward
heaven. 13 So they sat down with
him upvn the ground ‘seven days and
■even nights, and none spake a word
unto Mm: for they saw that his ‘grief
> was very great.

The Bible is a book of facts,
not of opinions, theories, ab-
stract generalities, nor of verbal
definitions. It is a book of awful
facts, grand and sublime beyond
description. These facts reveal
God and man, and contain within
them the reasons of all piety and
righteousness, or what is com-
monly called religion and moral-
ity. The meaning of the Bible
facts is the true Biblical doc-
trine. History is therefore the
plan pursued in both Testa-
ments; for testimony has pri-
marily to do with faith, and
reasoning with the understand-
ing. History, has, we say, to do
with facts—and religion springs
from them. Hence, the history
of the past, and the anticipation
of the future, or what are usual-
ly called history and prophecy,
make up exactly four-fifths of
all the volumes of inspiration.—
A. Campbell.
saying, “You know, when some-
one tells you to keep the word
of wisdom and don’t tell you what
the word of wisdom is, well, how
are you going'to keep it! I don’t
understand what I must do, when
I hear these other radio preach-
ers, but the Church of Christ
preachers they tell me what to
do so I can prepare for eternity!”*
Brother and Sister Moody went
to Dubois, Idaho, to talk to Mr.
Jensen upon receiving his letter
requesting baptisin. Asked if he
wished to be baptized that same
day, he said, “You know the Bible
says ’today I must prepare, not
tomorrow; tomorrow may not
come and now is the time! So I
go with you to Pocatello and be
baptized into Christ’s church
today.”
Mormon doctrine does not fit In
with Brother Jensen’s way of
thinking anymore. He says that
he and his family lost much faith
iri Mormonism on arriving in
Salt Lake City and finding im-
morality among those professing
the doctrine. He says, “I remem-
ber when they quit polygamy.
Now if polygamy was right, they
shouldn’t have stopped it If it
was wrong, they shouldn't have
started it!”
Another baptism took place in
the Pocatello Church of Christ
on August 1. Jon Cross, son of
Brother end Sister John Cross
of Pocatello, took the noble step,
having been convinced of the
necessity after hearing Brother

And the night which said. There is a
man-child conceived.
4 Let that day be darkness;
Let not God from above seek for it.
Neither let the light shine upon it
8 Let darkneee and *the tahadow of
death claim it for their own;
Let a cloud dwell upon it;
Let all that maketh black the day-
tanwy R.
6 As for that night, let ‘thick dark-
ness seize upon it:
Let it not rejoice among the days of
the year;
Let it not come into the number of
' the months.
7 Lo, let that night be ‘barren;
Let no joyful voice come therein.
8 Let them curse it that curse the

Who are ’ready to "rouse up M-vlt

9 Let the stars of the twilight thereof
be dark:
Let it look for light, but have none;
Neither let it behold the ‘evelide of
the morning:
10 Because it shut net up the doors of
my molher’a womb.
Nor hid trouble from mine eyes.
11 /Why died I not from the womb?
Why did I not give up the ghost
when my mother bare me?
12 Why did the ■'knees receive me?
Or why the breasts, that I should
suck?
13 For now ^should I have lain down
and been quiet;
I should have slept; then had I been
at rest,

earth.

themselves;

Who filled their houses with silver ’
16 Or as a hidden ‘untimely birth I
had not been,
As infants that never saw light.
17 There the wicked cease from trou-
bling;
And there the weary are at Prest.
18 There the orisoners are at ease to-
gether;
They hear not the voice of the task-
master. _______■ — . ——- ;______

semblance, and judge of the na-
ture of the trope, and its kind,
from the point of resemblance.
Rule 6. In the interpretation
of symbols, types, allegories and
parables, this rule is supreme:
Ascertain the point to be il-
lustrated; for comparison is
never to be extended beyond that
point—to all the attributes,
quantities, or circumstances of
the symbol, type, allegory, or
parable. „ ™ -7 .
Rule 7. For the salutary and
sanctifying intelligence of the
Oracles of God, the following
. rule is indispensable;
We must come within
understanding distance.
There is a distance which is
properly called the speaking dis-
tance, or the hearing distance;
beyond which the voice reaches
not, and the ear hears not. To
hear another, we must come
within that circle which the voice
audibly fills.
Now we may with propriety
say, that as it respects God,
there is an understanding dis-
tance. All beyond that distance
cannot understand God; all with-
in it can easily understand him
in all matters of piety and mor-
ality. God himself is the center
of that circle, and humility is
its circumfrence.
The wisdom of God is as evi-
dent in adapting the light of the
Sun of Righteousness to our
spiritual or moral vision, as in
adjusting the light of day to our
eyes. The light reaches us with-
out an effort of t>ur own, but we
must open our eyes, and if our
eyes be . sound we enjoy the
natural light of hepven. There
Is a sound eye in reference to
spiritual light, as well >as in
reference to material light Now,
while the philological principles
and rules of interpretation en-
able many men to be skillful in
Biblical criticism, and in the in-
terpretation of words, and
sentences, who neither perceive
nor admire the things represent-
ed by those words; the sound eye
contemplates the things them-
selves, and is ravished with the
moral scenes which the Bible
unfolds.
The moral soundness of vision
consists in having the eyes of the
understanding fixed solely on
God himself, his approbation
and complacent affection for us.
It is sometimes called a single
eye, because it looks for one
thing supremely. Every one,
then, who opens the Book of God,
with one aim, with one ardent
desire—intent only to know the
will of God,—to such a person
the knowledge of God is easy;
for the Bible is framed to il-
luminate such, and only such,
with the salutary knowledge of
, things celestial and divine.
Humanity of mind, or what is
in effect the same, contempt for
all earth-born pre-eminence, pre-
pares the mind for the reception
of this light; or, what is virtual-
ly the same, opens the ears to
hear the voice of God. Amidst
the din of all the arguments
from the flesh, the world, and
Satan, a person is so deaf that
he cannot hear the still small ,
voice of God’s philanthropy. But,
receding from pride, covetous-
ness, and false ambition; from
the love of the world;, and in
coming within that circle, the
circumference of which is un-
feigned humility, and the center
of which la God himself—the
voice of God is distinctly heard
and clearly understood. All
within this circle are jaught by
God; all without44 are under the
influence of the wicked one. “God.
resisteth the proudt but he
glveth grace to the humble'.”
He, then, that would interpret
the Oracles of God to the salva-
tion of his soul, must approach
this volume with the humility
and docility of a child, and medi-
tate upon it day and night. Like
Mary, he must sit at the Master’s
feet, and listen to the words .
which fall from his lipa.To
sach a one there to an assurance
of understanding, a certainty of
knowledfi, to which the man of
letters alone never attained, and
which the mere critic never felt.
