l 1t should affect our conduct; and, no
only so, but it alone should affect ou
conduct 1t should control it. We ar
under obligation to obey nothing bu
what comes to US unmistakably as al
expression of the Lord; but what doe
come from that divine source should b,
ege1ything to US.
When, therefore, the Lord Himsel
says, "To me belongeth vengeance,
whose attention shall it arrest? who's,
conduct shall it afeot2 Who shall fen,
to take what belongs not to him? "Veu
geanoo is NINE; I will repay, saith tn,
Lord" Who will dare to take into hi,
own hands what belongs to the LORI
alone, and let down upon himself the
weight Of a responsibility which the Lord
alone is able to bear?
Evidently the language of the text has
some meaning. There is something which
/ We are not to do because 1t does not be-
long to US to do, but to the Lord. There
/ is some evil here alluded TO If we ners;st
in doing which, we shall thereby bring
degradation, unhappiEess and ruin upon
our souls. We are here forbidden to
cherish certain spirit, which, if We do
cherish and in1nI,,o will bo orr dost-uo
