God says: "But il any man hate neigh
bour, and lie in wait for him, and rise
up against him, and smite him, and
smite him mortality that be die and tleetn
into one of the cities: Then the elders
of bis city shall send and fetch him
thence, and deliver him into. the hand
of the avenger OF blood, that he may die.
Thine eve sholl not pity him, but thou
shalt put away the gtaH of innocent
blood from Israel, that it may go we'll
with thee" (Deut. 10; IL, l3), that is,
so all Israel will not be partakers with
the murderer in his murder. II they so
pitied him as to let him escape the death
penalty they all would be equally guilty,
just exactly what Duke G. Bowers IS
trying to get US to do, and thus to be-
come murderers, too, in Gods sight,
and in sight of all OF Gods people, and
| won't do it.
5. The mouth of this same Most High
and Holy God said: "If false witness
rise up against any man to testify against
him that which is wrong" Then
shall We do unto him as he had thought
to have done unto his brother: so shalt
thou put the evil away from among
you" "And those which remain shall
hear and fear, and shall henceforth
you. And thine eye shall not pity; bHt
life DiaH go for life. eye for eye, tooth
for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, :"
(Deut. 1915 l..
This is a case of only perjury, and II
the perjured person tried to swear away
. mans life, his life was to be taken for
that false swearing, and all Israel who
did not assent to his death, were just as
guilty of the intentional death OF the
innocent man, by this false witness, as
was the perjured man, and therefore all
deserved death equally with him, in
Gods sight, and all Will so find in the
Judgement Day. The only way Israel
ties could clear themselves OF murder in
Gods sight was to put the false witness
to death, without any sort OF pity for
him. If they spared his life, and pitied
him, they thereby became equally guilty
with him, just exactly like our legisla-
tors will do, will become, OF every muir
der com tied in Tennessee, after Duke
Bowers bill abolishing capital punish
ment passes IF THEY VOTE FOR 1T. VI
this there can be no doubt.
6. The same Most High and Holy
God says: Moreover ye shall take no
satisfaction for the life OF murderer,
which is guilty of death, but he shall be
surely put to death. And We shall take
no satisfaction for him that 10 fled to the
city of refuge. that he should come
again to dwell in the land. until the
death of the priest.
$50 We shall not pollute the land
wherein we are: for blood it defileth the
land: and the land cannot be clesnsed OF
the blood that is shed therein, but by
the blood of him that shed it," mum.
IS; 81, 33) no! not even the blood OF
Christ will, or can, cleanse such polluted
land, no blood other than the murderer s
can cleanse it.
Any man of God can now see the ef
fects of the curse OF this pollu ton in our
Tenn essee soil, by too many judges and
juries and too many governors letting
too many murderers escape the death
penalty, already, in Tennessee, and IL
Duke Bowers bill passes, all OF the
DEVILS folks will soon see them, too, as
1t will increase them plainly.
T. Not long after the war Bob Ais
ton or Ralston became the Duke Q.
Bowers, in Georgia, by having the death
penalty comm ted to life prisonment,
and his own murderer:was the first per-
son to get the benefit of Bob's law,
thereby so plainly manifesting Gods
1isapproval of Bob's law, as that 1t
caused Georgia to repeal the law and 60
back to death penalty again.
