to his fellows; too many have
been so absorbed in the contem-
plation of the rewards and punish
ments which, as part of the
divine law, are enjoyed or suffer-
ed here.
Christ in reviewing the ten
commandments condensed the
six which refer to mans duties to
his fellows into one great COM
mandment, "Thou shalt love thy
neighbor as thyself"-a COM
mandment which, if fully lived
up to, would solve every problem,
economic, social, political and
religious. Is it not wise to give
more emphasis than we have to the
MAYNARD part of Christ's teach
ings? an inspiration to reformers,
