BIBLE AUTHORITY ON
PRESENT DAY LAWS
Reader Quotes Scripture to Show
That flosiac Law Cannot
Now be in Force
Editor Journal.—I want to say
a few words more in reply to Mr.
Greenhaw’s second letter on the
land and law question. He says I
evidently misunderstood him. I
am sure that I thoroughly under
stood him, for he says in his reply:
“It is contended that a Creator,
the Bible and Mosiac law is the
cornerstone on which we form
governments and make constitu
tions and laws.” Now this is my
first time to hear a man claim
that any nation has the law of
Moses for their constitution or
laws. That law has been taken
out of the way for more than 1800
years. See Col. 2:14, “Blotting
out the handwriting of ordinances
that was against us and took it
out of the way, nailing it to His
cross.” See Heb. 8:7-8, “For if
the first covenant had been fault
less then should no place be sought
for the second. But finding fault
with them, he saith, behold the
day is come, saith the Lord, when
I will make a new covenant with
the House of Isarel.” See Gal. 3:19,
“Wherefore serveth the law? It
was added because of transgres
sion till the seed should come to
whom the promise was made.
Now this is Bible enough to
show that the Law of Moses was
a Jewish institution and was done
away in Christ after it had served
its purpose, and wastaken away
and a new and better covenant
on better promises was made.
Now, about the 19th chapter
of Matthew, we learn that Christ
lived and died under the law of
Moses and fullfilled and took it
out of the way—all of it, not a
part of it—and made a new cove
nant, not an old patched-up thing,
which was already faulty. Of
course this talk with the young
man was under the law, and be
fore Christ was crucified. I have
too much love and respect for my
Savior to call Him a socialist.
Now about the Annanias busi
ness. After the law of Moses was
taken away, Annanias sold a par
cel of land and lied about the
price he got for the land. Peter
said to him: While it remained,
was it not thine own? And after
it was sold was it not in thine own
power? Why hast thou conceived
this thing?” That was to lie about
the price. Mr. Greenhaw says it
was for witholding the price, and
1 affirm that it was for lying about
the price. He was not compelled
to sell the land, and when it was
sold he was not compelled to place
the money at the Apostles’ feet.
But he kept back part and told
Peter that was all he got for the
land. It was no violation to sell
land then, neither is it now.

PREFERS SUICIDE TO
JOINING THE CHURCH
Henry Creacy Took Shot at Him
self but Bad Aim Gives nin
ister Another Chance
Henry Creacy, who lives on the
Madness farm in Wy cough town
ship, made an unsuccessful at
tempt to commit suicide Monday
afternoon.
Taking a shotgun, he went to
the bam where he sat down and
placed the trigger againt a nail in
a post in the building. With the
muzzle pointing toward his head
he gave the gun a quick jerk,
causing it to discharge. Howev
er, the rebound of the gun or the
bad aim or excitement of the
would-be suicide, caused the muz
zle of the gun to raise slightly and
the load passed just above his head
and lodged in the wall.
Hearing the report of the gun
his son went to the barn to ascer
tain the cause, and found the old
gentleman nervously whetting his
pocket knife, with which he said he
intended to make a sure job of the
attempt at self-destruction by cut
ting his throat. He was disarmed
and has made no further attempt
upon his life.
Creacy is about 50 years old and
he and his wife had had trouble
because she insisted on joining the
church against his wishes. He d< -
dared that he would never join
the church, and tried to keep his
wnfe from doing so, saying that he
would rather die and go to hell
than join any church or have any
of his family do so. So whc§ his
wife joined the church he attempt
ed to take passage to more “pleas
ant” surroundings.
