The Y. B.'s are taking hold of the questions, and we have a good number of answers, also some new questions.

Q. 5.-Meaning of Isa. 42:19 :Who is blind but my servant ?

ans.-" I think it refers to Christ. As the Lord's servant, He exercised no will of His own; did not do that which seemed best, but did the will of the Father." But verses 17 and 18 seem to show the Lord is speaking of idolatrous Israel.

Q. 6.-Was King Saul a saved man?

ANS.-" Saul was a choice young man " (1 Sam. 9 :2); but God looketh upon the heart (see 1 Chron. 10 :13, 14; Lev. 20 :6; Deut. 18:10-12").

Q. 7.-What is the difference between apostles and disciples ?

ANS.-(l) "A disciple was a follower, one who believed in Him; an apostle was one sent forth. They
were specially chosen of the Lord. In Acts 1:21-26, they chose one who had companied with Him to be a witness of His resurrection (so also 1 Cor. 9:1).

(2) "Apostles were all eye-witnesses of Christ. Paul said he was born out of due time. Disciples were believers in Christ."

(3) "Disciples:Matt. 10:1; Jno.8:31. Apostles:Matt. 28 :18-20; Eph. 4 :12, 13, etc.

Q. 8.-As to Satan's power over saints.

ANS.-(1) "At present Satan is 'prince and god of this world,' Jno. 14 :30; 2 Cor. 4 :4 (see also Eph. 2 :2.) He has access before God as the accuser of the brethren, Rev. 12:7-10."

(2) "If saints are not walking with the Lord, and allow the flesh or Satan to rule them, it may result in death, 1 Cor. 11:30."

(3) "Satan has not power over saints to the extent of death, for Christ has destroyed him, Heb. 2 :14; 1 Jno. 3 :8."

This subject has been quite fully discussed by one of the young people's meetings, but I can give only the references they sent. Satan is a person, Jno. 8:44; he is a liar and a murderer, and a tempter, who can appear and talk, Lk. 4:1-13. He will be cast out of heaven, Rev. 11 :19; 12 :9. His present activities, using evil doctrine, etc. Has he power of death? Christ overruled Him at the cross, and can overrule him in our lives, Jno. 19 :10, 11. He had to obtain permission from God before he could touch Job.

Q. 9.-Heb. 9 ; 28.
ANS.-(1) " Doesn't this refer to the coming of Christ in judgment, and not to the rapture? "

(2) " He will appear to all who have been bought with His blood; not to put away sin, but for complete salvation, including that of the body."

While not directly referring to the rapture, the passage is in close connection with it. It would be a mistake to think of any who are His as left behind. They are in heart looking for Him, even if not intelligently.

Q. 10.-Difference between kingdom of God and kingdom of heaven?

ANS.-(1) " The kingdom of God is spiritual, Rom. 14:17. The kingdom of heaven is the outward authority of God upon earth, as contrasted with the power of men or Satan his master."

(2) " The kingdom of heaven takes in a larger circle, including profession."

In Luke you will notice that kingdom of God is used, where in Matthew we have kingdom of heaven, Lk. 8 :10. This shows that sometimes they refer to the same thing; but the answers give a right distinction in other passages.

On account of lack of space, we must defer a number of nice answers till our next month. I add a few more questions.

Q. 16.-Why are the names of Daniel and his three friends changed? (Dan. 1).

Q. 17.-In Dan. 5:23-28, why was the word changed in the interpretation from Upharsin to Peres?

Q. 18.-Are the Jews under law or under grace now?

Q. 19.-Is there such a thing as the Abrahamic covenant, and if so, what is it?

Q. 20.-What is the meaning of the latter part of Jno. 17:12; was Judas once saved, later lost?

Q. 21.-In Prov. 8:24, 25, how are we to understand, "I was brought fourth?"
