Commandment-Keeping.

The following excellent remarks we clip from a torn leaf of the Earnest Christian. We commend them to all those who lightly esteem the fourth commandment:—

“If only partial obedience be required to evidence our discipleship, it ought to be distinctly specified what precepts we must obey, and what we may neglect with impunity. No man, however wicked he may be, disregards all of the commands of God. In some things he tries to do his duty. And if we assume to say that some commands of God are not important, we must not deny this right to others. If we make our selections of the precepts we will obey, we must not refuse to let others make their selections also. And then what becomes of the Bible?”
