Free from the Commandments

An Arran correspondent of a London journal writes of meeting a venerable Presbyterian who was well acquainted with Rowland Hill, and from whom he got this anecdote of the great preacher. One day a comparatively young preacher called on Mr. Hill, and said: "Mr. Hill, I've got some new views, and I am sure they are right." "What views?" said Mr. Hill. "Why," was the reply, "I have nothing to do with the commandments at all," and then he proceeded to unfold his system at length. With just a bit of a twinkle in his eye, after hearing him, Mr. Hill called his man-servant, and said, "John, show this man to the door, and keep your eyes on him, for he is free from all the commandments."—Morning Star.
