A Letter to All in His clean, narrow way and (Continued in Next Issue) I am sure that His statement. "Let the dead bury their dead" is not meant to teach us to disrespect our fathers, mothers or anyone else, but it is to show us that to follow Him, or to preach His e\'erla ting gospel is by far more important than to cumber oursel\'es with any of the cares of this life. It is very notMe'at>le in the teachings 0': .Ie ~ YBt He never wanted ~o rush ~e9{llr into following Him without considering the cost. On the other hand He always showed that eternal life would be cheap at any cost, for what has a man gained if he gets in pos ession of the whole worlet and then 10 es his oul, or if he had it, what would he gh'e for the salvation of his soul when he sees it is lost?
