And since Jesus Christ. the son OF

the Father said unto me, so ! speak"
And as we are to be Judged in the
last day by that royal law written
and spoken by the Lord as commanded
by the Father, which shows our love
TO God and love to our neighbor. IL we
keep it Il John s: Q, 81. by turning to
Jas 2 sic we see where Christ did
teach his disciples to preach" the law,
for we find one of his disciples, nearly
thirty years after our Saviour's death
preaching the sacred character Oh tUht

which we are to be Judged. In the fol-

of Christ tells why he Is so particular

his disciples to pray, for nearly forty
years after his death. that they might
not have to fee UPON, in the following
words: 80 speak .@ye. and so do as

And this same disciple who said

mand to preach that law as found
in Matt. 5:17-1s, Listen to Christs
own words in telling his disciples no =
to preach that Law, which the writer
: who signs "A. r. c." calls law OF
bondage" and tells the world boldly
that it could not be universally obey

Here are our Saviour's words warn
ing us against those teachers that Pau
has warned US of. and the public can
choose between Christs words and the
thoughts OF the writer signing "a. T.
c., 902 Thirty fifth street;

law, or the prophets: ] am not come
to destroy. but to fuihl.

heaven and earth pass. one jot or ore
little shall In no wise pass from the

whatsoever therefore shall break
one Of these least commandments, and
shall teach men so, he shall be called
the least in the kingdom of heaven
but whatsoever shall do and teach them
the same shall be called great in the
; kingdom of heaven"
And verses 20-22 and 27. 28, show
how Christ fulfilled the prophets
words, written over seven hundred
, years before, telling US what effect the
death of Christ would have upon thu
