She handled her subject with great ability, and
sought to prove that inspiration came direct
fefsnse in The inspired laws as given IN the BID
and New Tcstaments; In the Old We read that
the law as given to the children OF Israel was
"eye for eye, tooth for TOOTH" etc, and in tho
| one cheek, turn him the other.n The reason of
| this difference was simply that tho people In the
| time OF Moses had not yet risen to so high =
point of comprehension and reason as in q later
period
| The doctrine Of tho Nov Testament was Ioyo,
| and we had nothing to do with tho Old II was
not adapted to the present time.
She secuted the idea Of a hell OF fire and brim-
stone and said that the churches and the minis
| tiers OF the churches were becoming more liberal
This liberalism was the rebuilt OF Inspiration.
Miss Baker will remain here and preach for
the spiritual society during the present month.
