THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
LEMOK TEXT_EL^® U"P".t i~_ ,w_
GOLDEN TEXT—"Thou shalt love th
Lord thy God. with all thy.heart. a«4
with all thy soul and with all thy
trength, and with all thy mind, and thy
neighbor as thyself."-Luke MJ7.
Every commandment contained in
this second table of tbe law Is condi-
tioned upon and rooted In that which
la commanded In the flnt table, and
all has been reiterated In the New-
Testament
V. The Fifth Commandment v 12.
The word "honor" while confined to
thia commandment—the relation of
child to parent—is predicated upon
man's relation to God on the one
hand and on the other It flashes its
light upon every aubsequent command.
Our duty to God is pre-eminent. If we
neglect or disregard God'a righta, the
rights of man will soon be lost sight
of. A due and proper regard for those
to whom we owe our being Is our first
obligation and is here placed before
those laws that deal with our rela-
tions to outsiders. Respect esteem,
obedience and support are all a part
of that honor which is commanded,
see Prov. 1:8; Eph. 6:1-3; Matt 15:4-6.
Notice also that woman's place is
here made equal to that of the man.
It is Paul who emphasises the fact
that this is the "first commandment
with promise," and also that to neg-
lect this duty is to invite punishment
(Eph. 6:2, 3). It is the business of the
child to honor the parent no matter
what may be hla character; he must
not sit In Judgment. On the other
hand, the parent has an obligation to
the child, Eph. 6:4.
Human Life Sacred.
VI. The Sixth Commandment, v. 13.
This Is a revelation of tbe sacredness
of human life. God alone has the right
to take away or command to take
away human life. One reason for this
is because we are made In his image.
Gen. 9:6.
VII. The Seventh Commandment, v.
14. Thia commandment deals with
the sanctity of the married relation
and indicates the sacredness of parent-
hood. There is no other sin that so
speedily undermines human character
and overthrows families, tribes and
nations. It Is the source of, or leads
to, every crime In the calendar. It de-
molishes the moral sense, wTecks the
body, brings a hell of remorse, misery
and despair, and effectually bars man
from heaven, I Cor. 6:10, 11; Heb.
13:4; Rev. 22:15.
VIII. The Eighth Commandment, v.
15. Here Is a statement which deals
with the sacred rights of possession.
To take that which rightfully belongs
to another Is to steal. It does not
matter If It be done "within the law
by withholding a just compensation
or by gambling, It is just the same,
Deut 24:14, 15. Thla works both ways.
The employe who steals his employ-
er's time, the buyer or the seller who
cheats, lotteries in the church or out
of it, these are forms of stealing In
that they take something without ren-
dering a Just equivalent of value.
IX. The Ninth Commandment, v. 1«-
This commandment recognises the
sacred rights of character and Insists
upon absolute truth as a standard of
judgment Reputation cannot be
passed on from father to son; It is
much harder to secure than money
and is far more valuable. Backbiting,
false slander are not compatible with
love for your neighbor. To give wings
to a bit of scandal you have received
Is to violate this law.
The Most Severe.
X. The Tenth Commandment, v. 17.
This is perhaps the moat severe re-
quirement of any in this second group
of laws. The man who keeps this will
readily and easily keep the four which
immediately preeede It. All desire for
those things that belong to another la
inconsistent with true love, and in th#
light of this law such a desire Is sin,
yea, more, It Is Idolatry, Col. 3:5.
Hard ls It Is there Is, however, a wsy
to observe It, viz., to "love your neigh-
bor as yourself." Such love will de-
sire thst he shall have the best things
and consequently makes It Impossible
for us to covet his possessions.
The effect (v. 18) upon the people of
this manifestation of God's glory and
the giving of the law was that they
were filled with fear and besought
Moses rather than God to speak with
them. This Is a commentary upon the
words of Paul jUBt referred to. and
an illustration of the need of the law
as a revelation of sin. Moaes reapond-
ed (v. 20) to their fear with words of
aasurance, and explained to them that
this fear was to prove them that they
ibould not als>
