showing that so long as the peo-
pie had mo other gods before me"
they prospered and became power
full, and when they became idola-
trous and worshipped false gods
and no longer loved the Lord,

often were captured and held as
slaves, aud dispersed among the
surrounding and more powerful
nations. Bringing his su biect
down to the Christian era, where
the Savior answered the lawyers

love the Lord, thy God, with all
thy heart, and with all thy soul,
and with all thy mind" And the
second is like unto it; Thou shalt

filled with love as to give all his
