are upon the face of the earth. The Lord did not set<br />

His love upon you, nor choose you, because ye<br />

were more in number than any people; for ye were<br />

the fewest of all people: but because the Lord loved<br />

you, <strong>and</strong> because He would keep the oath which<br />

He had sworn un<strong>to</strong> your fathers, hath the Lord<br />

brought you out with a mighty h<strong>and</strong>. . . . Thou shalt<br />

therefore keep the comm<strong>and</strong>ments, <strong>and</strong> the<br />

statutes, <strong>and</strong> the judgments, which I comm<strong>and</strong> thee<br />

this day, <strong>to</strong> do them." Please read carefully the<br />

whole of the seventh chapter of Deuteronomy, <strong>and</strong><br />

think upon the word of the Lord.<br />

Will you turn from a plain "Thus saith the<br />

Lord" after reading the his<strong>to</strong>ry of Adam's sin <strong>and</strong><br />

fall? He fell because he discarded the words of the<br />

Lord <strong>and</strong> heeded the words of Satan. Will it pay <strong>to</strong><br />

transgress? By transgression Adam lost Eden. By<br />

the transgression of God's comm<strong>and</strong>ments man<br />

will lose heaven, <strong>and</strong> an eternity of bliss. These are<br />

no idle tales, but truth. Again I ask, On which side<br />

are you st<strong>and</strong>ing? "If the Lord be God, follow Him:<br />

but if Baal, then follow him."<br />
