CHICAGO, Jan. 21.-Josus Christ, tho great
teacher, is accepted rs infallble authority IN al
mattors between God and man. His word ls
authority not cisputable. His teachings, there
fore, settle a}l controversies. II he taught that
the moral law waa abEogatea or superseded. OF
ia any way changed, that teaching. like Ill OF
His teachiog will be found in clear aud impress
sire language. "For he taught them a. one
having authority. and not IS tho so1lbes.' we
ask whore is it recorded th*t Jesus taught that
tie moral law ceased to exist az rule OF lie 1ot
the Christian,-for all men Where did he ea5
of the p1ecept, Thou shalt have no other
cods hefore me" that it was abollshed2 Where
did he release men from the lsw. "Inou shalt
mt take the p.me of the Lord thy God in vain"
Who're did He say the Sabbath lswis dons away
and my people aro not required to observe it
Where did He say Of any one Of the ten pre-
cen,s that it was abolished? The moral law IN
its codifed form was given under most impress
siyo circumstances. No other laws we're eEeE
thus given. God wrote each precept
on the rock with His own hand. He
suake them ali With Els own voice IN tho
presence OF tho multltudes, amid the thunder
and iig5taing. and this yoico Of the trumpot TX
