TO notice these particularly, but 20
desire TO call your att .ntion TO anoth
er commandment given by Jesus 70
the same disciples to whom he gave
his first great commandment. with the
exception of Judas Iscariot, who be-
trayed him. After his crucifxion and
resurrection, and just before his as
cension, he gave TO those disciples a
final commandment which is record
ed at the close of the book of Mat
thew. | ask your attention to its
plainness "a well &c 10 its sweeping
character:
Go We, therefore, and teach all ma
tions, baptizing them in the name of
the Father, and of the Son, and of
the Holy Ghost.
Teaching them to observe all
things whatsoever have command
ed you: and 10, | am with you always
even unto the end of the world"
Language Is Plain.
This language is plain and unquaI-
fed. If we accept il for what it dis
tinctly SAYS we must conclude that it
embraces all of that first great com
mandment. as well as all of any com
mandment or instructions given by
Je us TO his disciples. Without wish
ing to criticise or condemn the views
of others. ! must frankly say that /
do not see how anyone can read
these plain words and give them a
moments thought and continue long

any part OF the first commandment,
or of any commandment ever given
by Jesus to ms disciples was TO be

words of the final commandment.
"Teaching them TO observe all things
whatsoever l have commanded you,
and 10, | am with you AWAY even IN
to the end of the world
In direct connection with Jesus
first great commandment and his fin
al commandment, desire TO call your
attention TO one more declaration
made by the founder of the Christian
religion, and this ought to be good au-
thority for all protesting Christians.
When we think of the great works
that Jesus did during His earthly
career, how He overcame and destroy
ed all kinds of sin, how He healed all
manner of sickness and disease, how
He raised the dead. how BE walked
the waves and stilled the tempest, and
how He did many other wonderful
works. say, when We think of this,
and view things from the standpoint
of our limited mortal senses, we may
we'll be astonished at the words which
| now quote as they are recorded in
the 18th chapter OF John, 18th verse:
"Nerily, verify, say unto you. He
that believeth on me, the works that
l do shall he do also Plain words,
| do not see how words could be plain
er. 1t seems TO be only a question
as to whether we shall accept them or
reject them. We might we'll suppose
that when Jesus had made so start
ling a declaration He would have ceas-
ed. We might well suppose that
when He had in terms of such sol
emnity ana plainness declared that
those who believe on Him should do
the great works that He did, He would
have reached the utmost limit OF
mankind : hopes and expectations
and possibilities. But He did not
stop there. He went further and ut
tered these YET more astonishing
words. And greater works than
these shall he do, because | 90 unto
