                   sanctuary  of  the  Bible,  must  have  some


               service  connected  with  it  which  is  called  its


               cleansing. There is no account in the Bible of


               any work so named as pertaining to this earth,

               controversy  is  not  with  this  work,  but  with


               Paul,  who  positively  affirms  this  fact.  But
