When it was shown that the Methodist church authoritatively teaches that the ten commandments are the law of God, binding upon all men, Elder Morgan replied, "I'm not preaching Methodist doctrine now."

This terrible denunciation applies pointedly and unmistakably to Elder Morgan. He has cast away the law of the Lord of hosts, as far as it is possible for a man to do so. He says it is dead, done away, and made void. He despises the only word God ever spoke to man with His own voice, and wrote with His own divine finger on the tables of stone. This word so highly honored of God, he tramples in the dust, and calls it Jewish, death, bondage, etc. Thus he despises the word of the Holy One of Israel. I warn him as a friend, I exhort him, and those ministers who uphold him in this great wickedness, to repent, and do works meet for repentance, before it is too late. The law of God is all right, and will stand; but those who are found in opposition to its principles of righteousness will surely fall.

Only a few embraced the truth at Alma City. The majority were highly pleased with the idea that God's law is abolished, and with it the Lord's Sabbath. What a sad awakening there will be, when they discover that the law they despised and rejected will be the rule by which they will be judged! Eccl. 12: 13, 14; James 2: 10- 12.
