The seven social clrcl< v Ington are those of the administration, of the diplomats, of the army and n Judiciary, of the scientists and of tt dents. So It Is that all through the s clal season Washington witnesses al doings which are separate one from t which are attended only by those whe or have been Inducted Into the parties ference.

You come 1 \ .o us with your line upon line, line * jpon line." They were not only unwilling to receive the message, but % ilred of the way in which It was delvered. Not being willing to receive he message, they complain of the nanner in which it is delivered. The loctrlne of salvation by blood alone s not a very popular one; the preach^ ng of the cross is foolishness to some [I Cor. 1:18-21; 2:14).

The prophet replies to these drunken (coffers that their very drunken ques- . ions should be answered by the Lord n judgment.
