Rev. D. M. Ogilvie, at the Congrega-
tional church on Sunday, took for his
text these words of Jesus: "sThink not
| am come to destroy the law or the
prophets | am not come to destroy,
but to fulfill. The speaker said there
must have been those who feared or
perhaps charged that Jesus intended to
| abrogate the ten commandments given
from Sinai amidst thunders and, light
nings. Jesus assured them he had not
come to do that, but to- fulfill
them more perfectly. The precepts he
gave were all in the line of the law, but
were higher and more exacting, as they
not only governed the outer conduct,
but reached the very springs of thought
and feeling. The law Of Sinai said,
Thou shalt do no murder" Jesus said
|" Love your enemies" The claw" is
not only fulfilled but is infinitely broad
ened in his precepts.
