naturally suppose that each one of them may have had a wife. I Corin thians 9:5 gives us a clue, “Have we not power to lead about a wife as a sister, as well as other apostles, and as the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas?” Q . Nampa, Idaho — “Why is Jesus called the Son of David?” A. Because there is a great deal of Scripture which does. See the Leviti- cal covenant promised to David in that a son of his would rule on his throne forever. For the family tree look at the opening verses of the New Testa ment. Here Jesus Christ is called the Son of David as well as the Son of Abraham. This is not an historical error or a chronological mistake men tioning David before Abraham. The purpose of Matthew, as a true his torian, is to show that God has not forgotten the promises to David. This is why He is called “the Son of David” first before the other.

Whatever is said on a subject like this is sure to make enemies. We must say, with our own conscience, that in many instances it is all right to do this. Many women, oft times those with little money, have a real com passion to help the church. They have the time but that is all. This is not to give the impression that such things as bazaars and other type sales should take the place of systematic giving. God forbid that this would ever hap pen. Where such is practiced, churches have fallen into spiritual decay. They go from this to raffles, carnivals, and all the rest. The matter needs to be carefully studied as to the motives which are involved. Q . Fresno, California — “In John 14:12 we read of ‘greater works.’ Will you please explain what that would mean?” A. This portion of Scripture quotes the words of the Lord Jesus, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that be- copy of this publication, please pass it along to a friend so that he may also enroll in the Plan and receive these helpful monthly features from the broadcasts.
