Frightened.

By Editor

A PERSON in Alton, Ill., to whom the REVIEW has been sent, orders it discontinued, saying, “I dare not countenance such doctrine. We are not under the law, but under grace.” We would like to ask this friend if he considers himself at liberty to violate any of the precepts of the decalogue! May a man when he is under grace, lie, cheat, steal, swear, kill, commit adultery, &c.? If not, he need not be afraid of us; for all we do is to advocate the observance of all these moral duties. It is astonishing how the devil has succeeded in blinding the eyes of men over that simple declaration of the apostle.
