Are the Commandments Abolished?

IN the editorial columns of the last number of Messiah's Herald, it is stated with great positiveness that “the commandments are abolished,” the writer not allowing of any exception. In an adjoining column another of the editorial staff speaks of “corrupt human hearts which are ‘enmity against God,’ and cannot be subject to his law.” Cannot be subject to what law? Is it possible that one of the editors of the Herald hasn't been told by his brethren that there is no law? How does he know that human hearts are corrupt? And how can anybody be an enemy of God when he has no law to define his will, or, in other words, has no will? We accept the second quotation as a slip of the pen, and an evidence that when truth is so plenty, men who have anything to do with the Bible cannot help giving expression to it once in a while, even against their will.
