If our brother is correct, that ''fulfill'' means ''to abolish'' then Christ at His baptism fulfilled, or abolished, righteousness and there has been no righteousness since that time.

Again we are told to bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. Gal. 6: 2. We will now read the text with Brother Polly's definition of fulfill, and mark the result: ''Bear ye one another's burdens, and so abolish the law of Christ.'' The dear old brother, could not stand his own definition any better than he could first in his bosom. It is evident that to fulfill a law is to be obedient to its requirements. Of course, his effort against God's law was a failure. Since Christ declares that it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one tittle of the law to fail, would it not be a good idea for the opposers of God's law to do the easier thing first, abolish the heavens and the earth? It would save them much trouble trying to do the harder things,---proving that the law has failed or passed away.

On our return we met a lot of our Free Methodist brethren going to the circus. I am sure they did not like it at all that we should meet them going on such an excursion. They were great opposers of the divine command to remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy and made very high profession of holiness. They often got the power, shouted, and fell over in meeting, and had wonderful manifestations of what they called the power of God, and now to meet the Adventist minister while on their way to the circus, was humiliating to a degree, leaving the pure, sparkling water of Lebanon to slake their thirst at the muddy pool of worldly pleasure. Leaving the joys of the Holy Spirit to delight themselves in the antics of men and women in tights. How had the mighty fallen!

They were a people that depended much on their feelings. When they in their excitement had pleasurable emotions, their religion was at high tide. When their happy flight of feeling went so went their religion also.
