Note By H. A. I.

Having, through the courtesy of the Editor, had the reading of J. B. J.'s expression of opinion as to the sons of God, and Jude 6, I am thankful for it. It will cause searching. A reference to my own paper will show that I do not attempt to speak authoritatively as to this admittedly mysterious passage, while, after having carefully weighed what has been put forth by many on both sides, I find my judgment inclined toward the view that the sons of God were Nephilim and super-human. But as to this I am not greatly concerned. What I am concerned about, is that neither I nor others miss the solemn lesson the apostle is pressing in verses 5 to 7 ; that we ever remember there is no safety in outward privilege-but God desires truth in the inward parts. Interested persons might consult the writings of the grave and scholarly brethren to which I referred in my note. J. B. J. gives the other side, which also deserves to be as carefully weighed.
