NOTES AND COMMENTS
ne two groups of five commands
each have been variously character
ized: those on the first table reli-
gIous, those on the second. ethical:
the first, the laws of picty, the Sec
ond OF probity: the first. duties to
God, the second duties TO men.
with every right there is n CORE
spending duty To respect that right
wherever il is found. We are apt
TO talk more about our rights than
our duties The Ten Words" per
haps recognizing this popularity of
human nature, emphasize the duty
SIDE Much of what was said i'm the
New Testament of the infcriority OF
the law TO the Gospel would probably
never have been said but for the i'm.
mcnsc Development of ceremonial
law that came later. In the Decn.
loguc is n real revelation of the In.
therhood OF God and the brotherhood
OF man. G. Thou shalt not kin"
Rctter, Thou shalt do no murder"
The word murder sends our thought
pack OF the outward act To the mo-
1--WE that prompted il. II is i'm the
motive that the blamcworthincss or
praIscworthincss of an act resides

OF this very command lie said: "Ye
have heard that IL was said to them
OF old time: Thou shalt not Kill; and
whosoever shall kill shall he in dan
ger OF the Judgment; but | say unto
You. that everyone who is angry with
his brother shall be i'm danger Of the
judgment The command does not
say whether or not il is ever iusti.
fable To kill, hut Moses. who would
he supposed To know the true inter.
probation of the command, believed
II was. Space forhids n discussion
OF the ethics of sclf-dcfcnse, of war
and OF capital punishment. but they
viii naturally come mp in the class.
4 Thou shalt not commit adultcrv:"
After the saCredncss of human life
comes the sacrcdness Of the home
No nation can he sound and strong
without that. Christ reminds ms hero
too that there is impuritv in thought
nS well as in act. "Man looketh on
the outward appearance. but Jcho.
yah iooketh ON the heart" Do we
not make a great mistake when we
treat only one sin as "unfaithful-
ness The traitorous heart NAV
show itself in many kinds Of unraith

| Thou shalt not steal" The RICH.

| tccted in the eighth commandment
| The command is not: Thou shall
not take the property Of another
| That may bc stealing or IL may mo-.
| The right OF property is essential t.

Of the respectable" ways Of stealing

| shalt not bear false Witness" The
right OF every man To his own repu-
tntion and the duty TO respect the
similar right of his neighbor is here
stated. The primary reference Is to
perjury. but the principle is the same
whether the lie Is told in court or
| elsewhere. TrIthfulness is essential
To the well-being OF any community
or nation. May not truthful words
in reality bear false witness" and
so is not this command like tho 9th.
crs in that the point Of it lies in the
purpose back Of the words? 10
'Thon shalt not covct." etc: This
may also he called n New Testament
| commandment II throws its Iipht
back over the others and mikes us
see that righteousness is not an ex-
ternal thing but matter Of the
heart Sin is forbidden. not simply
| crime.
