Words of Warning for Judge Arthur

Early 1906

Previously unpublished.

A new year has opened before us—1906. 21LtMs, Ms 150, 1906, par. 1

I have words to speak to Lawyer Arthur. You have been influenced by the course of Dr. Kellogg. You have exacted fees that were unjust in the sight of a holy God, and I am charged to show him that lawyers are to be governed by the laws God has given us. 21LtMs, Ms 150, 1906, par. 2

What is Christ's commission to His disciples? Matthew 28; read this whole chapter. Read chapters 27 and 28. Here you have the history of professedly pious Jews. I have had great interest in Lawyer Arthur. I am so sorry that the Lord is not pleased with your transactions in business that are not to your honor as a Christian. And if you continue to let other minds blind your judgment, you will soon lose your spiritual eyes of discernment. There have been many things transacted that cannot be in harmony with the law of God. Oh, my brother, stop just where you are. The Lord has not one set of commandments for the lawyer and another code for the church. This law is to judge all by the same rule. Will you think of this? 21LtMs, Ms 150, 1906, par. 3
