He Wouldn't Scare
People Into the Church

Evangelist Patterson preached fine
sermon last night from the text, IF
ye love me keep my commandments y
He said that for 1900 years the human
race was under compulsory law
which said Thou shalt and thou
shalt not and their obedience was
principally from fear Of punishment,
the same as persons now under olr
civil laws. The infiction of the penal
ty was neglected and as natural
consequence they ceased to fear, con
sequently refused to be obedient to the
law, and became very immoral and
corrupt. Solomon said, Fear God and
keep his commandments, for this is
the whole duty of man." When Jesus
Christ came, the worlds greatest
teacher, He changed the whole order
Of things and placed man on an indie
pendent basis when he said, Il you
love me keep my commandments.
The terrors of the law were done away
and mans nobler nature is appealed
