The Pational Baner The Fational Lanwey e B CAN AN AMERICAN CITIZEN BE HELD TO MILITARY DUTY IN THE GERL | MAN ARMY? - 1 - _Attorney-General Pierrepont has recently given an opinion in a case of naturalization that has;elicited much unfavorable -comment, and is calcu-. lated to revive some of the most im-. portant of those questions of naturalization, birthright and. citizenship which have, in the past, caused frequent international disputes. From the statement of the case by Attorney General Pierrepont it appears that a Prussian subject, named Steinkauler emigrated to the:United States in 1848, became naturalized in 1854, and } in 1855 had a son born in St. Louis, Mo. In 1859 Steinkauler returned to Germany with his son, ard made “Wiesbaden, in the duchy of Nassau, his residence.” After the war with “Austria, in 1866, wHich ended with the battlo of Koniggratz, Nassau became ‘a part of the North German confederation; and Steinkauler soon found “himself for a second’ time a Prussian subject. . This was Brought about by the operation of the treaty negotiated by Minister Bancrof;, in 1868, with North Germany, which concedes that naturalized ‘American citizens of Ger‘ma,ix birth may lose the rights of nat‘uralization’ after a residence of* more than two years in Germany.: The son of Steinkauler having now reached the age - of twenty years, was ordered by "the Geerman government, to report for militafy duty. He appealed tb the ‘American government for protection on the claim,of his birth which entitled him to all the rights of American citizenship. © If the father ‘had been brought within the provisions of this QB:mcroft treaty, young Steinkauler ‘had never voluntarily abandoned his right-of citizenship. Asa nativeborn American citizen he appealed for exemption from military conscription in Germany. - But the Attorney-Gen-eral, to- whom the case was submitted by tlie'State department, has givén. the opinion that no occasion ‘exists “for ‘interference on the part of the American government.” | Tt is evident-from this opinion that there is great need of a revision of the laws and treaties on ‘which rest the rights of citizenship. Prussian diplomacy has wrested from'an American minister a concession that is enJoyed by no other country. The celebrated case of Martin Koszta illustrateés the very different mode in'which ‘such’questions were settled by democratic . statesmen under democratic ‘ administrations.” "In the year 1850 Martin Koszta, a political fugitive J from Hungary to the United States, filed his papers declaring his intention_{ of- becoming an American citizen.— Tliree years after, in 1853, he visited Smyrna and was seized by a boat’s crew from the Austrian brig Huzzar. In obedience to instructions from:the ‘American consul .at Constantinb’ple; Capt. Ingraham of the American sloop St. Louis demanded his release; but learning that the prisener was to be clandestinely transferred to Trieste within the Austrian dominions he demanded his surrender within®a fixed time and prepared his guns to atfack the Austrian vessel in case of a refusal. Koszta was then delivered up. The 'Austrian government through Minister Hulseman strongly protested. But William L. Marey was the Amercan Secretary of Statein a democratic ‘administration and the principle was established that a declaration of intention to become -a citizen éntitles the person making it to the protection of the American government ‘Wherever he may be found. , These cases of Koszta and Steinkauler shbw how £ar the government of this cjount,ry has receded in twenty--five years. Young Steinkauler by no voluntary act of his'own has loststhe ‘protection of the American governi ment, to whom he vainly appeals, un‘der a. strained interpretation -of an % im'beqile treaty made by a republican administration. Martin Koszta’s claim ‘to protection was recognized by a ‘democratic adiinistration at the haz- { ard of a foreign war. Steinkauler, an - American by right of birth, vainly ‘urges his claims of citizenship, is | abangloned\ by his government, and i dragged off to military service under the conscription laws :of a foreign country. Koszta, a fugitive from ‘the ‘ military- service of Austria, who had .been proclaimed a deserter and a rebel, had not completed his titlef citizenship, but was rescued from his captors in a neutral port ahd restored to-the land of his'adoption. © Such is ‘the.dilemma in which Mr. Pierrepont’s ~opinion places the diplomacy of this ‘country that young Steinkauler loses the protection of his government and is abandoned to foreign military conseription without losing his cifizenship. Mr.~Attorney General Pierrepont says: ' “Young Steinkauler is a “native-born American citizen,” but he surrenders him to the COnscription laws of Germany. That is to say, Steinkauler retains his citizenship, but has lost all its right. Blessed boon! Ingenious diplomacy! “He can ‘return to :America,” says Pierrepont, “at the age of twenty-one and in due “time, if the people elect, can become “President of the United ‘States.’— With.this plesant sarcasm an American Minister of State turns a citizen over to the conscription officers of Prussia. There was a day in the history of this country when the rights -of citizenship could not thus be trifled ‘with by any administration. May ‘that day soon return, . .

- The debt of Washington City in proportien to population, is greater than any municipality in the .world. Remove the . governmernt property and the remainder would not sell for enough to pay the interest on the debt. And this has all been brought about by thieves of the Boss Shepherd type.

LIGONIER, NOBLE COUNTY, INDIANA, THURSDAY, JULY 22, 1875.

SABBATH OR SUNDAY? SHALL CHRISTIANS OBSERVE THE SEVENTH OR THE FIRST DAY? A Good-Natured * Joint Discusgioﬁ 2 _ Between Peter and Jacob. ‘ (Special Report for The National Banuer.) : PETER—And so, neighbor Jacob, you have concluded to turn over a new leaf by turning your back upon ‘the past and embracing the new-fan-gled doctrines to which you have listenéd in the Tent of the Seventh Day Adventists ? el JAcoß—Yes, neighbor Peter, my mind has undergone a change, though I do not quite like your appellation, “new-fangled doctrines.” There is nothing “new-fangled” about them, They are old—as old as the world itself. They have simply been presented tous in a new light by men who believe.in strictly obeying:the scripturées asoriginally promulgated.

PeTER—Y es, yes ; I understand that. They base their theories upon the four beasts, the red dragon, and the beast with seven heads and' ten horns, and the like. - A very fascinating picture, indeed, to be constantly held up before a christian audierice. I thought the time for such nonsense had passed—that it belonged to the dark ages whef superstition, witcheraft and the like reigned supreme. Really,'l am astonished that any iatelligent person in this enlightened age would gulp down such balderdash as has been let loose by these new-fangled revelators. Jaeoß—Go slow, brother Peter; don’t become animated.”. You know there are two sides tosevery question, and sometimes even more than two. In religious questions, 'éspecially, you, will find as many sides as there are peints of view from which they are examined. I must confess .that the beast monster and dragon part of the Adventists’ teachings is somewhat ancient and might, perhaps, as well bé discarded. . : :

- PETER—GIad to hear you speak.so candidly and philosophically. But, neighbor Jacob, how do you standson the Sunday question? Are you going back on the Lord’s Day and observe instead the day set apart for the Jews —the seventh day? - %

Jacos—Well, thatis a matter which hag puzzled me no little. I wasbrought up to regard the first day as the day which all followers of Christ should observe. I was sotaught by my mother, in Sunday School, and in Church. It seems hard, at m)?ge, tg renounce those teachings and confess that ‘I have labored under a 'de‘lusibr}__iforvsq many years. - : S

PeTErR— Well said, neighbor Jacob. 1 I see you mean to weigh matters carefully, and that you are not like some | of the new ‘converts to Adventism‘ who have not only. renounced their church but are bold to assert that the Adventists alone are right and faithful unto the teachings of God. ' JAcoß—No, that is not :my style. ‘But let us talk a little about the Sabbath question.; So much has been said pro and con that I almost despair of reaching a satisfactory comclusion. I ‘have read a good deal on this very subject, and have looked up many references, and I find a great variety of opinions. Some hold to the universal obligation of a Sabbath law, and affirm that it was given to thes first family of mankind for universal observance. Others quote the law given by Moses as of universal obligation, and contend for the seventh as: the Sabbath day. "Others, again, who believe in a universal law of Sabbath, and quote the Mosaic as that law, contend that, after the “resurreétion of Jesus, the day was changed from' the seventh to the first-day of the week. Upon one point, however, all agree, and that is: God rested 'on the seventh day and sanctified it—which is more than can be successfully shown 4n favor of the first-day.x s PeETER—I do not doubt your sincerity in this belief. Yet, you may possibly labor under. some misapprehension. Upon what do you base your opinionof faith? -~ . -+ - JAcoß—Upon the distinct declarations of holy scripture.” Let me read to you from the history of Creation in Gen. ii, 1,2, 3: “Thus’ the-heavens and the earth were finished, and all the hosts of thega. And on the sixth day ‘God ended his’ work .which he had ‘made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which lfe had made; and he rested on the seventh day, and 'scanctified it; because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.” How can you explain away so plain a s‘t'atement? e . S s

PETER—You have now cited the strongest point in favor of the seventh day argument. In fact, what you have thusiguoted is all that is said relative to tfis transaction, in a history of 2,513 years, according to the common chronology; and that, bear: in mind, by one to whom the Lord gaye a_ revelation of this whole affair, at least: twenty-five centuries after the transaction therein noticed. Whether - Adam or any of his posterity had been advised of these facts up to this time,, is not stated. But it is inferred that the first family of our race was fully informed in all these particular statements; namely, that God created all thingsin the heavens and in theearth in six days, and rested on the seventh, and i that he blessed the seventh and.sanctified it; and that he also commanded them, in all their generations, to keep the seventh day as a Sabbath,in com~memoration of the fact that on that ‘day he rested from all his works, All this is inferred from the quotation you have cited. e Tk i

~ JAcoß—That would certainly be an important point, if your version e well founded. I will look that madLter up. : . i)

PeTER— Do 80, by all means. 'You will find my representation fully sus-. tained. - And right here I want to call your attention, as well as that of all others who object to the observance. of the first day of the week becausethere is no command, for its observance, to the fact that there is no such record relative’ to the seventh day in these early times. As indicated before, it is a mere matter of inferénce. It is not stated that any one rested on that (the seventh) day but the great Architect of the heavens and tlie earth himself. I wish you to take particular notice of this fact: There is no mention that Adam, Abel, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, or Jacob ever kept that day,or that any one ever was guilty of breaking the-law of the Sabbath during their times. Indeed, ‘thie word “Sabbath” does not oceur in the history of mankind for twenty-five: hundred years after God rested from his work. - Tke seventh day advocates say that a positive institution can not rest on inference, but must be based on a plain command. This being so, ‘there was 10 Sakbath till the time of Moses, and they, mind .you, only for one nation; ‘forng other nation was placed under “the-law” that “came by Moses.” The alvantage of the Jews over all other people consisted mainly in the fact “tlrai to them were committed the Oracles of God.” ° ;

JAcoß—That presents the question in alight that is° not, by us common people, generally thought of. . But it seems very strange’ that God should have set apart a’day of rest for Jews only. oo o

PeETeEr—O yes; there are many things done by. God tlxafguppem- st_ran'ge | to.us mortals. Yet, there is nothihg bewildering in this statement. We are dealing with this Sabbath question from a biblical stand-point. T repeat, therefore, that there is no command given to the ancients to observe the seventh day as- a Sabbath, and that there is no example of its having been 80 observed by any individual among all the godly from Adam to Moses.— Where, then, upon the theory of the seventh. day adv"ocate_s, is there any authority for the seventh day(Sabbath). except in the laws given to the Israellites ?f—und‘er which, let me add, no Gentile was eer placed. On the other hand, it is recorded that the disciples of Jesus met on the first day of the week for religious services, and that, too, under apostolic sanction, whether they were Jews or Gentiles. : JAcoß—Stop . a moment, if you please. Did not God bless the séventh day, and did he not also sanctify or consecrate that day? . e PETER--To be sure he did; no one denies that. But it is not said that he enjoined it, my friend. The matter of enjoining is a matter of inference, and of inference only. And, understand me now, I do not here affirm that the inference is not legitimate; but I do say, and very emphatically at that, that if the inference s legitimate, then follows the inference that divine authority consecrated the first day of the week, and discontinued the observance of the seventh: because the primitive Christians observed the first day, and discontinued the observance of the seventh, while the persons converted by the converts of the apostles were yet living. That there may be ‘no misapprehension as to the-tenor of theSe remarks, I wish to say that they are made .with ' special reference to the amount of evidence contained in Genesis. : : :

JAcoß—-You are unusually talkative to-day; neighbor Peter, and you expound gospel doctrine as-readily as a preacher, and, I must add;a great deal more clearly. I infer from this that vou have posted yourself for an exhaustive argument and that you consider yourself amply fortified to resist all opposition to your views. ILet me further test the sourédness_. of your theory by inviting your attention to the passage of seripture in which the word “Sabbath” occurs for the first time in all the Oracles of God. 'When Moses -gave directions to the Israelites relative to the preparation of the manna; he said to them: *“This is that which the Lord hath said, Tomorrow is theé rest of the holy ‘Sabbath unto the Lord. 'Bake that which, ye - will bake to-day, and boil that which ye will boil, and that which remaineth over, lay up for you to be kept until the morning. And they laid it up till the morning, as Moses bade; and it did not smell offensive, neither ~was there any worms. therein. And Moses said, Eat that today, for to-day is a Sabbath unto the Lord: to-day ye shall not find it in the field. Six days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh day, which is the Sabbath, in it there shall be none.— And it came to pass that there went out some of the people on the seventh. day to gather, and they found none. And the Lord said to Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my commandments and my laws? See, because the Lord hath given you the Sabbath, therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread of two days. Abide ye every man in his place. Let no man go out of his place on the seventh day. So the people rested on the geventh day.” (Ex. xvi, 23-30,) Now, my dear sir, try your argumentative power in reconciling that which I have quoted with your position.

PrrER-—Very well. 'To begin: the expression, *“This is that which the Lord hath said,” is understood by some as referring to. what God commanded Adam. But this is mereyas-"l sumption, as the words furnish no evidence of the fact, and the context 'no ground for the inference.. It isas reasonable to infer from the words (verse 15), “This is the bread which’ the Lord hath given you to eat,” that it wwas the same bread that he gave Adam to eat, as that “This is that which the Lord hath said,” meant what;the Taord had aaid to Adam, und

repeated to the Israelites. According tosuch aruléof interpretation,we must infer from the same form of expressicn (verse 16)—“This is the thing which the Lord has ‘commanded: Gather of it every man according to his eating;=an omer for every man. according to the number of your persons, take ye.every man for them which are.in his. tents”—that God commanded Adam and his posterity to gather and pat manna by the omer; and that he here renewed the command to Israej! Moreover, in verse 22, the same \form of expression occuf's relative to the cooking of manna, with special reference tothe Sabbath: “This is that which the Lord hath said, To-morrow is the rest of the holy Shabbath unto_the ILord. Bake that wliich ye will bake to-day, and boil that which ye will boil; and that which remaineth over, lay up for you to be kept until the morning.” =~ Who would infer from these words that this direction was given to Adam? In verse 32 it is said: “This is the thing which- the Lord commandeth: Fill an omer of it to be kept for your generations.” . But he did not say this to Adam. Tliere is, indeed no ground of inference in any of the cases where the expression, “This is the thing which the Lord hath said,” or, “hath commanded,” in all this context, much less in the words themselves, that the Lord had said so to Adam twenty-five hundred years before. The words quoted are not'to be found in any record of any thing which the Lord said to the father “of mankind, as men of letters are wont to call Adam. This is the first record of a Sabbath as “mfa’ile for man;”’ the first: case in which any mention is made of a command to men, ot to any man, to keep a Sabbath. Now, mark you: in the beginning, “the Tiord blessed the seventh day and<sanctified it:;"béeau'se in it he had rested from all his works,” cand not because he had,-as yet, commanded man to obgerve the day. °

Jiacoß—=Well, you iave made quite a lengthy exposition, indicating both research. and ingenuity. While admitting the forpé of your analysis in several instancés, I am not prepdred to say that youfpave fully met the issue. I still hold in reserve a few points that may puzzle you to explain away. For instance, in Exodus xX, 8, the Lord said, “Remember the Sab-bath-day to keepsit holy.” . Having lately commanded them to observe a’ Sahbath, he now commands them to. “remember” it; and says to, them: “Six days shalt thou labor and do all thy work; but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God. In it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy .son, nor thy daughter, nor thy man-servant, nor thy maid-servant, nor thy.cattle, nor the stranger that is within thy gates. For in six days the

Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day: t;hei;gfc_)re, the Lord blessed the seventhsday and hallowed it (BEx. xx, 9—ll-.);'5%6'“7., can anything be clearer théﬁhis? Can any unprejudiced p.ers’_Gnli d}u{bt for a moment that the sevénth day Sabbath is directly instituted by Ged? You may theorize, analyze and .demonstrate as much as you please, yet this written evidence will always stand out in bold relief against you. = : i PETER-— We will see about that. The reason assigned in the quotation cited by you, for requiring men to ‘work six days, and;ti\j'abstain from labor themselves, amf{dause their children, and their setvants, and even their cattle and- the’stranger within their gates, to do so; was mot becanse he had before so commanded Adam, or any other person; but ‘because he. himself, had so done at the end of the labor which resulted in the solar system, with all it contained. Assigning the reason, here, and not before, for ‘x"equiring’_'abstinence;. from labor, and a holy regard for th%ip’eventh day, affords ground for the: belief that the institution was not appointed till it was given to the.J e§{.mll people.. If it had been an old institution, and had ‘been observed for two thousand and five hundred years: by the faithful, ‘there would have Héen no reason for giving any explanation of the cause of requiring its observance at that period. Shiee e + Jacoß—l am not prepared to accept your interpregatiogx’\; as conclusive on this point. - To me, the reasoning of Eld. Andrews is mmore convincing. The record informs us of what God did on the seventh day as distinctly as it relates what he did on the six days of creation which preceded the day of rest. God’s great work was wrought in six dgs, and on the seventh he rested froih that work. Now, it is not reasonable to suppose that he rested .on’ a’ccoﬁxt of weariness, for Tsajah assures ug that the Creator of the heavens émg&he earth cannot be wearied. It iga reasonable assumption, however, jhat' God made the seventh day his ré%t-'day in order that he “might set up an'everlasting memorial ‘of his creative \work. For‘when he had rested upogaﬂthe day, he bleésed it and sanctified ;or hallowed it. He‘ blessed the seVenth day because he had rested upon it, which shows that the day of God’s rest was passed when | he blessed the séventh day. He did not bless thf%a”y “because he was

about to rest uﬁn it, but because _he had rested upen:jt. It is apparent, ' then, that the bidssing was placed up“on the seventh day for time to come, in honor of what God had done upon that day. And ffms also with respect to the sanctification of the seventh day. God sanctified it because he had rested upon it. He did not sanctify the day because he prﬁosed to rest’ upon it, but because lié had rested upon it. The sanctification . cannot be placed _upon a day after it has ceased to exist. And hence God did not sanctify the frst sevonth. day of time because he had made it lﬁsrkt

had thus rested, the day had expired; but he sanctified the seventh day for time to come, in memory of his own rest on that day’ from the work .of creation. = e

' PETER—The passage quoted as the law .of the Sabbath is in fact rather the law of the week, for it says: “Six days shalt thoulabor;” and the reason is as clearly given for this part of the law as the other—namely, the Lord worked six days in making heaven and earth, &ec.,—and this is as good a reason for working siz days as is the rest of the Lord on the seventh day for abstaining from labor on that day. It is not only the law of the Sabbath, but also the law of the week:

* JAcoß—Do you mean to say that! he who refuses to work six days is as guilty of a breach of the law as he who works on the seventh day? PETER—I do. The penalty for a breach of the Sabbatic portion ‘of the law follows in Ex. xxxiii,” 12—17. This law was “a statute in Israél,” and its penalty was death. “Every one who defileth it shall surely be put to death; for whoever doeth any work - therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.” Again: “These are the words which the Lord hath commanded, that ye should do them.. ‘Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh there shall be a holy day; a Sabbath of rest to the Lord. Whoever doeth ‘work therein shall be put to death. Ye shall kindle no fire throughout your habitations on- the Sabbath-day.’ (Ex. xxxv,l—3) ~ Jacoß—l see what you are after. You aim to make it appear that:if this law be accepted as of univeréal; obligation, it must be accepted as a whole -penalty and all. S

PETER-—Most assuredly. Why is it that your seventh day chamapions entirely overlook this part of the law ? How can a church insist on the obligation to keep the Sabbath, and, at the same time, ‘neflect . the penalty in the discipline of its members? Is not the obligation to put the offender to death as binding on the people, as the obligation to rest on the Sabbath is on the individuals? What shall be done with the Sabbath breakers who kindle fires in their dwelling—who do not keep within their places, but go abroad on the Sabbath day for recreation ? ~ This'law was given to one nation,and one nation only.. It was given “as a sign” between them and the Lord their God. And though they were not allowed td go abroad on their own businéss, or merely for pleasure, yet they'were required to have a “ holy convocation,” or a religi(ms meeting. on that 'day. “Six days shall work be done; but the seventh is a day of rest, a holy convocation.” - (Ley. xxiii, 8.)

- JAcoB-—lt is an indisputed fact that the book of Genesis' does not contaifi” the law of God. For this reason many hasty or careless readers of the Bible contend that the law was unknown during the patriarchal age—-‘hat is, from Adam to Moses. Now, to use the language of Bro, Andrews, “let us see. what will follow from such reasoning. There i 3 no precept in Genesis: which says ‘Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart. ' This precept, therefore, on which hangs all the law.relatin"g to our duty to God, was not obligatory upon the people’ who lived during the period embraced in the Book of Genesis. There is no command in that book which ‘says, “Thou shalt love thy;neighbor as thy-' \ self” .And so this second precept, on ‘which the other half of the entire law of God is suspended,-did not exist during that age of the world. Again, there is no law recorded in the book. of Genesis which forbids blasphemy, Sabbath-breaking, the neglect of parents, adultery, theft, false witness, or’ covetousness. And if the reagsoning of our opponents be good, then these precepts were not in force in the period from Adam to Moses.” =~ But the. book of Genesis plainly implies. that there was a moral law in existence, though it does not enter that law upon. its record. Thus murder was a great ,crime in the case of Cain--Gen.4; the violation of the fifth commandment

was a/ great gin on the part of Ham— Gen. 9; adultery would have been such inthe case of Joseph—Gen. 39; and so of other precepts. But while God’s law does not appear in Genesis, not even in the form of the two great | commandments, the existence of his law is expressly named. Thus Abraham is said to have obeyed God’s voice, and to have kept his charge, his commandments, his statutes, and his lJaws. - PETER—This law of the Sabbath became a part of the covenant which | was “written and engraved onjstone,” -and was “made glorious ” when it was: Jelivered as apart of the “Ten Commandments; " and, as Paul teaches, it 'was in his time “done away,” or “abolished,” and was succeeded by something “more glorious.” That which was “ written and engraved on stone,” of which the law of the Sabbath was a part, is called the “ministration of death,” by Paul, because of the capital punishment, death, which it en-’ joined, as in .the case uf the desecration of the Sabbath; and it is declared to be “done away,” so that even the Jews are not any longer under it: 2 | Cor. iii, 5-16: “Not that we are suffi-| cient of ourselves to think anything as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is' of God who also hath, made us able

ministers of the new testament; not of the letter but of the spirit: for the letter Kkills, but the spirit gives life, [The letter which kills is the ‘ministration 'of death’—that which was ‘written in stones,’ the Ten Command-’ ments.] But if the ministration of death, written and engraved in stones was glorious, so that the children of Israel [to' whom alone this law was given] could not steadily ‘behold the face of Moses [when he was reading these commandments to them] for the glory of his countenance; which lory was to bedone away: how shall

NO. 13.

not the ministration of the spirit [the. gospel of Christ] be’ rather glorious ¥ For if the ministration of condemna‘tion [that which was written and engraved on stones] be glory, much more. doth the ministration of righteousness [the gospel, or new -testament,] exceed in glory.: ‘For even that which was made glorious [thie ministration ‘of death—the Ten Commandments]. had no glory in this respect, by xeason of the glory that excels, For if that ‘which was done away was glorious, ‘much more that which remains" is: glorious. Seeing then “that we have l such hope, we use great plainness of ‘speech; and not-as Moses, who put a veil over his face that the children of Israel could notsteadily look tothe end of that which is abolished [that which was engraved in sfoues—the Ten Commandments]: but: their minds were blinded; for until this day remains. ‘the same- veil untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which veil is done away in Christ.

Nevertheless, when it Shan turn’ to the Lord- [Jesis], the wveil :vslvlafl-‘-be”takén away. Now the Lord [Jesus]is that spirit: and where the spirit of the Lord ig, there is liberty.”
