IGNORANCE.

When one reads over the last ex-
ertion of DR.. Hammond, he will
coincide with the above heading.
There the DR.. gives me the lie. |
take it with good grace (that is upon
the right cheek, Dr.) Christ says:
"That we resist not evil: but whose
ever shall smite thee on thy right
cheek, turn to him the other also. "
Before you smite the ether cheek,
Dr., please go back the eight days
you spoke of, and read the article
over, thus learning who it was that
offered the $1,000. Not for my in
terest, but for your own, in the eyes
Of the public.
Why are you so anxious that |
should hunt dictionary, or lawyer?
No, Dr., no traditions of men for
me. 1t is enough for me to take
Gods word, and let Him (God) be
his own expositor.
DR.. Hammond says: 1.-The law
for Adam, Noah, and all those that
lived prior to Moses, was different
law than that given to the children
of Israel at Sinai, Christ did not
teach that such was the case. If he
had, it would have been denying
himself, for He (Christ) spoke the
law at Sinai, after he had led the
children of Israel two months.
Christ proclaimed the law to Moses
and Moses to the children of Israel
The law was craven on tables of
stone, not such material as one would
suppose would be used to nail to the
cross. Let US look for moment at
the Ten Commandments. The first
four point to God and the duty that
we owe to Him. The last six point
to our fellow-men, and the duty that
we owe to them. This no man can
gainsay. Did the apostles teach any
doctrine that led to any higher at
tainment? No, neither did Christ
hear the Great Teachers summary /:
"Let us hear the conclusion of the
whole matter: Fear God and keep
his commandments for this is the
whole duty of man. "-Eccl. u:

Christ fulfilled (fully preached
the seventh commandment, Whose

her hath committed adultery with
