MEDITATION ON THE LAW.

By Mary Evelyn White

MARY EVELYN WHITE. (Birmingham, Ala.)
Seek first Jehovah's will to do, the rest shall be added be; But if earth's pleasures first are sought, they must suffice for thee. God's name is Jealous, and His laws unchanged and perfect now As when they first were thundered forth from Sinai's flaming brow.
The ten commands were written there, and then to mankind given, By Him who saith: “I'll alter not the words I spake from heaven;” The same to-day and yesterday, our God, the same for aye; With Him a day a thousand years—a thousand years a day.
Fear Him, and keep His perfect law,—add not, take not away,— Add not unto, lest unto thee He adds the plagues that day When Christ shall come to gather home all those His word who do; Take not away, lest from life's book thy name be taken too.
“Unto no idol bend thy knee.” Obey no king nor priest Who teaches thee to break God's laws, e'en though one of the least. Our Saviour came not to destroy or change, but to fulfill; He said: “I've kept my Father's laws, and done my Father's will.”
As Christ hath done, so must we do; and then we shall abide In Jesus' love. What care we then though sinners may deride? He that hath Christ the Father hath—Father and Son are one; They perfect are, and without change—the Father and the Son.
