"THE NEW COMMANDMENT." ST. JOHN, 13c. 34v. (To the Editor.) • Sir, — The most recent" command is tho one most urgently needed we usually say. When he see the poor and most religious out of all churches departing to form a, combination of their own, wo begin to look out like Hamlet for -the 'cause. "There is something rotten in the state of Denmark," was his conclusion. All , these processions in uniform with trumpet and drum proclaim religion is off the line again. It has always been doing it— read Ist Samuel, 3c. At the Crucifixion we find the chief priest providing false witness, and so breaking the ninth commandment. We find the only who got immediate benefit was the dying thief. The poor must be the religious, who but them pan say 'and mean it, "Give its day by day our daily bread." Luke 16 tells of the rich glutton. Was it not said "It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of Heaven." 1 The rich people we read of every day giving their wealth to God when they can hold it no longer remind mo of the text, "80., not deceived ; God is not mocked." (Galatians 6c. .7v.) ... . The Adventists say we are the Church of Laodicea, which is to be surprised by the thief in the night. (Rev. 3c. 14v.) Laodicea means judgment. So instead of keeping up a national Church suited to the feudal ages we want a Church whose members are like the original disciples, who become fools for the kingdom of Heaven. (Ist Corinth, lc. 18v.). — I am. etc., MATTHEW 18c.
