Trimming off the rest of this post is unnecessary.
I will guarantee anonymity except in cases of blatant abuse.
I will achieve anonymity by tallying the results in
uncorrelated tabulations and then deleting the emails.
(I know this loses interesting correlation data, but if
resondents want anonymity it's hard to avoid.)
I know that this anonymity promise depends on trust and that
you have no particular reason to trust me. Someday, I hope.
I will post results Saturday.

any time." "What a
pity," I thought, "that I have to scrap all this, that I cannot
continue."
I went back to my cabin and tidied up, folding the
blankets and putting them aside. Packing my books, dress-
ing in civilian clothes, and placing my gear in the two
suitcases. With a last look round I went out and shut the
door behind me.
"Will ye no' change yer mind?" said Chief Mac. "Yer
a guid shipmate, and I'd be glad t' put ye in fer Second
after this round trip."
"No, Chief," I answered, "I want to move around a bit
and get more experience."
"Experience is a wunnerful thing. Guid luck t' ye!"
I walked down the gangplank carrying my two cases.
Off by the side of the moored ships. Another life before me;
how I hated all this moving round, all this uncertainty, with
no one to call "friend".
"Where ya born?" said the Customs man.
"Pasadena," I replied, thinking of the papers in my hand.
"What ya got?" he demanded.
"Nothing," I told him. He looked at me sharply, "Okay,
open up," he snarled. Placing my cases before him I opened
them. He rummaged and rummaged, then tipped every-
thing out and examined the linings. "Pack 'em up," he
said as he walked away and left me.
I packed my cases again, and walked out of the gates.
Outside, in the mad roar of traffic, I stopped a moment to
get my bearings and my breath. "Wa

etc. Outward sacrifice is not the essential point--11:13, Secundum
numerum,134 etc. A multitude of doctrines.
Is. 44:20-24; 54:8; 63:12-17; 66:17. Jer. 2:35; 4:22-24; 5:4, 29-31; 6:16;
22:15-17.
683. Types.--The letter kills. All happened in types. Here is the cipher
which Saint Paul gives us. Christ must suffer. An humiliated God.
Circumcision of the heart, true fasting, true sacrifice, a true temple. The
prophets have shown that all these must be spiritual.
Not the meat which perishes, but that which does not perish.
"Ye shall be free indeed." Then the other freedom was only a type of
freedom.
"I am the true bread from Heaven."
684. Contradiction.--We can only describe a good character by reconciling
all contrary qualities, and it is not enough to keep up a series of
harmonious qualities, without reconciling contradictory ones. To understand
the meaning of an author, we must make all the contrary passages agree.
Thus, to understand Scripture, we must have a meaning in which all the
contrary passages are reconciled. It is not enough to have one which suits
many concurring passages; but it is necessary to have one which reconciles
even contradictory passages.
Every author has a meaning in which all the contradictory passages agree, or
he has no meaning at all. We cannot affirm the latter of Scripture and the
prophets; they undoubtedly are full of good sense. We must, then, seek for a
meaning which reconciles all discrepancies.
The true meaning, then, is not that of the Jews; but in Jesus Christ all the
contradictions are reconciled.
The Jews could not reconcile the cessation of the royalty and principality,
foretold by Hosea, with the prophecy of Jacob.
If we take the law, the sacrifices, and the kingdom as realities, we cannot
reconcile all the passages. They must then necessarily be only types. We
cannot even reconcile the passages of the same author, nor of
