For the Voice of Freedom
Divine origin OF Bible preccpta.


Mn misunderstanding in your ed
i,oria!s some questions raised respecting
the Divine origin Of some Of The old tesla
ment precepls, | would suggest Inc follow
ing reply, which you are requested to pab-
fish.
The first is in the following reasoning;
III the example Of Solomon should not be
followed, why are his preeeph binding
any farther than they arc Inherent y right
To this it may be replied, that the exam
pie Of Solomon was never intended by the
great author of the Bible TO be q stand>
ard Of practice; but The precopts which
were given 10 man, as man without res
friction, claim 10 be divinely inspired for
the express benefit oflhe world. Now as
the example does no, claim 10 be binding,
and the prccepts do, it Gun not properly
be inferred TINT because one is not suita.
bic to follow the other is not to be regard,
ed. Indeed, examples both good and bad
are freely narrated for caution as well as
imitation, and The occasional !aiings, even
Of David did not prove his prophecies to
be false; for they were fuliIed 10 the let>
ter, hundreds Of years after, Now ifmen
whose examples were mol in every respect
to be initiated could be Inspired to prophc-
cy, why no. suppose they may also be
inspired TO write prccep,s? The second
objection appears TO exist in the supposed
contradiction between the teachings OF
Christ, and those Of Moses.
The case Of granting bills Of divorce is
cited to prove Noses teachings to be
wrong. Now it should be borne in mind
tina. the Pharisees came TO Chrisl lempt-
ing him with similar questions hoping ms
it would seem 10 make him contradict
Moses; for they already knew his senli'
mcn.s, he having spoken their freely 90
two former occasions. But if this was
their hope they must have been much
disappointed; for instead Of contradic,lng
Moses; he cites the very worls Of Moses
in reply. Thus, "have ye not read that
he which made them at the beginning,
made them male and female and said, Tor
this cause shall man leave father and
mother aud shall cleave 70 his wife and
they twain shall be nne flesh ?"
The phrase should be rendered male
aud female, only one pair, whom God
united in the bond OF marriage, and in so
doing exhibited standard Of that union
to all generations. TO the above refer
cnce Christ repeats" Wherefore they
are 10 more twain hut one flesh" and
:hen he draws the following conclusion
"lyhat therefore God hath Joined togeth-
er let no, man put asunder." Now as
Christ draws this conclusion from Moses
own writings, and did rot state it upon
his own authority, it Of course could not

SoUrH CAROLINA And MAssAcHUsErTs.
A case came before one of our courts
lately, in which one of the parties was Il
citizen OF South Carolina, and the counsel
on the other side alluded to that faet. in a
way that some thought was calculated to
have an influence on the jury; expressly
charged them net to take that circum-
stance into consideration at all. but 10 rem.
der their verdict according 10 the law and
the evidence, just oe if both parties were

law. But the fact that such charge was
deemed necessary, speaks volumes fox Ihe
future.-Emaneipator.

But rum is making sad havoc among
some Of the most influential families. /

The 203 drunkards 10 he following 6
towns, must expend eithe. in money or Ia
Dor, large sum for their liquors. II the
rum is paid for by liuIe jobs, (which lis a
common way among rumselIers) this

for rum, these poor wretches would be
digging more value out Of their own

The propIie;ors of the steamer Express
have, it is said, prohibited the sale of spr-
