curse you, do good to them that hate you,
and pay for them which despitefully use
you, and prosecute you" Math. v; A.
Let's look further intothe bill of fare and
see what next, yes, here it is, listen
Dare any of you having matter against
another go to law Statute law before the
unjust, and not before the SAINTS" First
Cor ~; l. Reader have yon ever eaten at
this table-the Lords? But here is an
other dish that all Christians hate to re-
fuse, publicly; therefore they don't all call
for it when they eat at the Lords
table, and would rather not have it offered
them, but as it is good, and the Lord pre-
pared it and said you must eat thereof if
you would live, we shall insist on offer
ing it, here it is: "Let all bitterness, and
wrath, and anger, and clamor, and evil
speaking, be put away from you, with all
malice. And be ye kind to one another,
tender-hearted, forgiving one another,
even as God for Christ's sake hath for
given you" Eph. vi; 81, 80.
Now we have the evidence that any
one that can partake of either of the above
named dishes can partake of them all,
and il he can do that he can partake of
anything found on the bill of fare from
Genesis to Revelation, and if he can do
that he is all right, so saieth the Lord,
and as the Lord has said for us to do so,
it is not impossible for us to obey il we
go at the matter in the right way, and
the right is the Lords way. Now per-
haps some one will say how are we going
prove that the divine law answers the
question truthfully telling the truth, the
whole truth and nothing but the truth.
We will prove it by every Christian from
the earliest history of Christianity to the
present, all agreeing; yes every one, not
a disturbing voice, "tolerably broad asser-
tion," some may say, but true; "well,
some one may say why is it true?" be-
cause there is no issue between Chris
tians, Gods children. "Well some one
says there is difference between Chri :
tians, some contending for one thing
some another" A grand mistake. You
see when it comes to &lpistian testimo-
ny, Christians only test md any cross
firing that may be don one by the
"devil." There is but D sides, the
Lords side and the DEVILS, and we say to
you, the devil has continually got his
nose into every revival, prayer-meeting
and secret prayer il we let him, and there
is where the world gets the idea that
Christians differ. There is and'C.. I be
any difference, and the very fact that
there is hypocrits in all churches is posi-
tive evidence if we had no other, that
there are genuine Christians, and when
we use the term Christians we dom have
any illusions to an agent of the devil un-
der the cloak of religion, and of course no
Christian will take offense at what we
have said, we know they will not. There
fore, dear reader, our honest conviction
is that the true answer is to be found,
and found only, in Gods word, therefore
If you would know "what is right be-
tween man and man." search Gods book
of books and there you will find the true
answer. We know it is the desire even
of the unconverted to live right between
man and man. but without God they can
not do SO, therefore seek Him and accept
Christ upon His terms and all will be
well. The command is just the same to-
day that it was in the Apostolic day. We
have TO get religion to-day just as they
did in the Apostolic day, our duty as
Christians is just the same to-day as it
was in the Apostolic day, the same God
presides over us to-day that presided over
the Apostles and his people during their
ministry, We change, fashion changes,
custom changes, the hand of man
changes the swamp into busy city;
cuts bitches, drains wet land, makes
beautiful unsightly places; these changes
come, but God never changes, nor his
laws, for He has said "For verify say
unto you, till heaven and earth pass, one
jot, or one title shall in no wise pass
from the law till all be fulfilled" Math.
Wis.
Blessed be the name of the Lord for
teaching us what is right between man
and man., and hoping his saving grace
may abide with us now and in our daily
walk, We can say in deed and in truth.
Il was glad when they said unto me, let
us go into the house of the Lord. Psalm
l22; |. And may we always be in the
house Of the Lord. Let us so live that
strangers who may come in contact with
us may not have to go to our Church
book" or inquire of our friends whether
or not we are Christians, for Christ has
said how you may know his children.
Let's watch and not let the devil change
our mark.
May God bless our homes and make us
happy and contented people.
