A. Campbeli's Testimony indicated
Against Ed. Scoles.
BY ]. b. Daisley.

ED. Press: In your last issue
the PRESS contains an article
from Mr.. Scoles as q reply, proper
ly to A. Campbell, and not to Ed
Daisley. Mr.. s. never replied to
the questions l wrote, and he never
will. The issue is between Scoles
and A. Campbell. Mr.. C's testi-
mony is against the improper and
unfair use Mr.. S. made of the
statement read In the tent. Scoles
claimed that CampbelPs language
proved the binding force of the old
covenant. Such statement cannot
be found in any of Campbelrs
published works. When s. was
,sked to allow G. to speak
for himself, he refused. there
fore G. through the Pass rebuked
md arraigned Mr.. S. as knowing
ly breaking the 1st commandment.
He now tries to "clear himself but
in his effort he still plunges furth-
er into the mire of historical ig-
norance. Candid reader please
read A C's. statement carefully and
see if his language even intimates
that the ten commandments are
now binding. The nearest it comes
to it ere in these words, $50
reads the fourth principle of the
everlasting ten." This / believe
and teach as well as Mr.. Camp
bell for the MORAL PRINCIPLES of
the 4th command is REST which
was from creation in Gods pur-
pose, and was enjoined upon the
sons of Jacob to be observed by
them only until the ful6llment in
Chritt, Col. 2. 16. Who cannot see
that the moral principle of the 4th
command is rest here, and ever
lasting hereafter. But the letter
the command to rest on the 7th
day has ceased, ''is done away"
ended ON the cross, but the prin
ciple which is proper rest is still
in force and is observed by all
Christians on the first day of the
week, the Lords day. The same
may be truly said with re-
spect to the whole ten commands.
fhe letter is done away, but the
spirit Or principle is still in force;
these great eternal principles, that
constitute the unchanging and per-
feet law of God, and not the COM
mands. The mistake Scoles and
his class makes is they are resting
in the letter, the commanded works
If law, instead of the spirit, which
llways was and is right without
any command. This Scoles can't
see that the spirit could exist
without the letter. | have this in
black and white at his own con.
sent. Now, let us see if he honestly
represents Mr.. G. in his alleged
quotations from his lectures. II,
ays: "He once believed and ac-
epted the ten commands as the
great moral law of God rs tht
-verlasti~g ten." Is this state
ment found in the Quotationf Oh
course not. He therefore willingly
represents his language. You see
he carefully omits the word, pRIN-
IPLE the word which gives point
and pith and sheds light on the
whole statement. $50 reads tn,
fourth principle of the everlasting
ten" quote him correctly and ali
is clear.
He further saws, A. C. called the
ten commands the great moral law
If God. See how unfair, and warped
and mistaken he is. Now, listen
to A. C,'s testimony. My objection
to denominating the ten precepts
the moral law represents itself to
the rejecting mind that all moral
ity is not contained in them. For
doctors in divinity tell us the first
table respects our duty to God, the
second our duty to man. Why, then
call the ten commands "the moral
law seeing but six Of them are
