Question for the preachers to
answer.
Why did GOO command the
people to offer burnt sacrifices
to him. Such as sheep and cat.
tie OF the very best, to what pur
pose was it to him, and what
good did it DO him to see the
smoke or to smell the flesh burn
ing, why not give the meat to the
starving children instead of
curnlng it up? If there was a
man in this country that had
plenty of corn and meat, and he
would pile up some rocks for an
alter and lay his meat and corn
on it and burn it up instead OF
giving it to the hungry, we
would say that he was no Chris.

principle.
