cof legislativ 0 records failing to reveal
31in specific naming of that day.
Two theories are prevalent an to the
manner in which the present date was

”would not fall on Sunday in any leap

“ The second theory is based on the
Mates of the first constitutional con-
«nation where the delegates (under

. unanimously x x x that the first Wed-
- inc-day in January be the day {or ap-

FREE BIBLE - LECTURE COURSE
The Three Wop-5' Described by A. T.
' Hudapohi.
A '1‘. Hudapohi spoke on the nb0ve
topic in Red Men's Hall. South Nor-
walk, Sunday afternoon. He said in
part. "the Bible shows that the race
started on the “broad road to distruc-
tion" (death) when Adam sinned—in
the garden of Eden and that. that way
had grown so slippery with sin that.
in spite of all the knowledge and ad-
life was not over thirty five years.
God gave the law to the Jews pro-
mising'them life. it they would keep"
it. He knew and they discovered that
no imperfect man could keep a per-
fect law. thereby demonstrating the
need of one “holy and separate from
sinners to provide a ransom-price.
Our Lord Jesus kept this law winning
its’ reward the right to everlasting
life, this He gave in sacrifice. thereby
becoming man' s Redeemer He open-
ed up a new way to life bringing two
things to light, lite and immortality.
(2 Tim. 1:10.)
'fImmbrtaiity the reward of the
narrow way'Iesus said as recorded in
Mat. 7:14- would be found by few.
Those faithful in this way until death‘
will ' receive the Divine na1ure, the
same that Jesus received at His re-
correction: and viral be associated
im in His thousand year reign.
