THE LAW OF GOD.

By A. S. Hutchins

“No man may put off the law of God.” This sentence I used to read when a small child, from my school book. I remember no declaration read in the days of my childhood which made a deeper impression upon my mind.
After considering the claims of God’s holy law upon men more than a quarter of a century, I am fully persuaded that the sentiment above expressed is in strict harmony with the teaching of Inspiration.
David says, “The law of the Lord is perfect.” Paul asks, “Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.” And James carrying the mind forward to the Judgment, exhorts, “So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.” Oh that men would learn to love and obey God’s law rather than to oppose it. A. S. HUTCHINS.
