The Christian Secretary, by the following good words, shows that at the time they were written its creed was not polluted by the antinomianism of these lawless times. We say, at the time they were written; for many a person who has at first spoken as soundly on the subject, has suddenly taken his noble utterances all back, when reminded of the inevitable conclusion that if the law is still binding, the seventh day is still the Sabbath of the Lord. We trust the Secretary will maintain the integrity of its views on the law and the gospel, as set forth below:— “But does the gospel abolish or supersede the law? Not a bit of it. Nay, it establishes the law, by conceding all that it claims; by making provision in the atoning sacrifice of Christ for meeting all its claims; by implanting in those who believe, the spirit of true obedience. There is no antagonism between the law and the gospel; they are in perfect harmony. But what a glory there is in the gospel for a world of sinners! It offers mercy to the guilty, hope to the despairing, salvation to the lost, life to the dead! It proclaims amnesty and pardon to every soul that will believe in Jesus. How gloriously, in God's plan of recovering grace, the gospel supplements and fulfills the law, and becomes strong where the latter was weak. Smitten by the lightnings of Sinai, we die; bathed in the crimson stream of Calvary, we live. Salvation is not by the law, but ‘according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God.’”
