      Ans.--Better wait till the fight is over, before you decide who whips.

      "If the Bible is true, it would be better not to have been created."

      "The witnesses of the resurrection were all interested witnesses."

      Ans.--Yes; they were interested to the extent of receiving imprisonment, scourging and death for testifying.
