Ed. NORTHwEsT:-The seventh COM
mandment is "Thou shalt not steal" This
commandment like all the other nine has
three-fold Specification, the natuaral, the
spiritual and celestial. In the natural
sense this commandment signifies accord
ing to the letter not to steal or plumber in
time of peace and in general never to de-
prive another Of bis property under any
pretense whatever. In this sense it ex-
tends also to all impositions and unlaw-
full methods ofgain, usury and exactions,
likewise to all fraudulent practices In the
payment of duties and taxes. Workmen
offend against this commandment who do
their work in any august manner by prac-
ticing deceit. Traders offend against It who
in their trading endeavor to impose either
in regard to the quality Of their goods or
in weight, measure, or making out their
accounts. Judges offend against it who
are influenced in their judgments, by
friendship, bribes, relationship or any 9TH
or consideration to the perverting OF law
and equity, and depriving others of .their
just claims and possession. For instance,
II man sells possession and Ananias
like keeps back part of the price or agrees
to let q man occupy lot by his fencing 1t
in and occupy IL until it ID sold, and after
a time he gives it to another man without
consulting the occupant, think that I
am justified in saying that such proceed
ings comes under the above head. Be-
cause sentence against an evil work il not
executed speedily, therefore it is fully set
in the heart of man to do evil.
