COVENANTS CONFUSED
With COMMANDMENTS.
Evangelist Froom Shows Distinction
Between The Two Covenants and
The Ten Commandments.

| The subject of Evangelist L. E
Froom's discourse Wednesday ev
ening was the Two Covenants.
He said in part:
Many confuse the old covenan
with the Ten Commandments. The.
suppose the two are identical and
| therefore, in the passing away o
| the old covenant, the law of Coo
| was also abolished. They hold tina
a new law, annulling the Ten Com
mandments, composes the new cove
nant. Now there is only one thing
the matter with that view land tha
is that it is not true.
1.-The old covenant, that passed
away, was not the Ten Command
ment law. 1t Was only an agree
ment or cHItract made beoween
God and the people concerning the
keeping of the len Commandments.
The children of Israel agreed to do
what the Lord should speak to
them. They were to be obedient
and He was to be their God. This
old covenant was made at the
exodus between God and the Jewish
nation.
Then Moses wrote the words
in a book and again read it in the
hearing Of the people. Again they
said, al. that tie Lord Hath
spoken we will do In Elk. "a, As.
the whole story is told. The old
covenant was confirmed or ratified
with blood. It became in force.
But all this was before the law =
God was given in its written form.
Consequently the two tables of
stone, on which were afterwards
written the Ten Commandments,
could not possibly be the old CO. e.
nant.
The old covenant was faulty.
Heb. 8 z. But there can be 40
better law than the Ten Command
ments for the law of the Lord is
perfect Ps. 10, Z The old cove
nant was established On poor promi-
ses, Heb. s, 6, but the Ten Com
mandmentS were LGt established on
any promises. The old covenant
was ready to Walsh away, Heb. 8,
Is, but it is easier for heaven and
earth to pass than for the Jaw
to fail Tx. 16, II. The dissin"-
ton is clear and D'a:n.
What is the new covenant? The
new covenant is the law in the
heart by the spirit. Read Heb.S,
7-13. The new covenant brings in
Christ. He makes all the promises.
No wonder they are better. He
agrees to write the Fathers law in
the heart and put it in our minds.
He becomes the mediator, or helper,
of the new covenant. Those who
enter into the new covenant rela-
tionship are those who, by the
help of Christ, are keeping the
law of God and are freed from
sin, which is its transgression.
1.-THE new covenant was ratified
or confirmed by Christ's death on
I Fri id7y, the SIKH day of tthr-ss19
No alterations can be made in the
new covenant, NO obligations set
aside, nor new requirements intro
duced after the death of Christ,
Heb. 8, 1917, Gal. 3, Is. 1t is
claimed that Sunday, or first day,
observance was instituted after
Christ's crucifiction. Therefore, DIT
Is evident that if Sunday observance
began at the resurrection,
It was just two days too late to
get into the new covenant. The
seventh day is the Sabbath under

Famous For Her
Hair
Actress Tells How She Grew 1t.

Madame Rose, the well-known
actress who played on one of the
leading vaudeville circuits the past
winter and who is especially noted
for her long, beautiful hair, in a
recent interview in Chicago made
the following statement: ANY
lady or gentleman can promote the
growth of their hair and make it
soft and glossy with this simple
recipe which they can mix at
home: To a half pint of water
add l OF. of bay rum, a small box
of Barbo Compound and ga or Of
glycerine. Apply to the scalp two
or three times week with the
finger tips. This is not only the
finest hair grower l have ever
known. but it prevents the hair
from falling out, removes dan
druff and scalp humors, darkens
streaked, faded gray hair, and
makes it soft and glossy The in
gradients can be purchased at any
drug store at very little cost"
