Ques. 10.-Dear Mr. Editor, will you please explain Romans 1 :20, "For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse."

Ans.-The invisible God has manifested Himself (that is, in part revealed Himself) in His works-as all workmanship manifests its maker. In every part of the world man has this testimony to the awful majesty, the power, the wisdom and goodness of the Creator stamped upon all His works. "The heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament showeth His handiwork" (Ps. 19).

Why then do not men everywhere worship Him, the only and true God, whose glorious works are clearly seen in the heavens above and in the earth all around? Why do they worship the miserable works of their own hands rather than the Creator? Verses 21 and 28 tell why. For, in turning away from God, the Holy One, man is deceived by the Devil. Not because of darkness, which he cannot help, will God judge man, but because of the light which he refuses. The heathen (having the light of creation) are inexcusable for dishonoring their Maker ; but Christendom, having the added light of Christ and revelation, the testimony of God's Word, has much greater guilt in turning away both from the light of creation and of revelation.

Ques. 11.-Please give us your thoughts on Matt. 6:22, 23, " The light of the body is the eye:if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness."

Ans.-What the eye is to the body, the heart's purpose is to the inward man. The Lord uses natural things as symbols of the spiritual. The eye, receiving the light of the sun, becomes the lamp to guide the body. In like manner, if the spiritual eye (the conscience) be "single" (pure), illuminated by the word of God, it will produce a consistent life to the glory of God. A man fixing his eyes on the point he desires to reach, makes a straight path to it; on the other hand, if the heart's motive is not pure with God, moral darkness is sure to result ; and how great then will that darkness become !
