coniiict, surely people's minds are "perversed and in~
versed." E. J. B-
Rogue River, Oregon. April 26, 1917.

reason for this is that our souls open to the truth more
and more as we open our hearts to YAHVEH Elohim. I
find as I live nearer to our dear Father that I can understand
more of YAHVEH'S will toward man. In this dark
