Utterly unnecesssary. Tendency of evil. I stand on defensive. When we look over this past work & find the old paths. A Spirit comes of unrest. This view has stood the test 40 yrs.

Romans 1-6 a compact argument. In the rest of the Chap. it is amplified. Augustine says It is one thing to be in the Law, and another to be Under the Law. He who is In the Law acts according to Law. He who is Under the Law is acted upon according to Law. MMM 423.9

Romans 7:1-6 Romans 6:20, 21; 5:6. MMM 423.19
Fruit of 1st husband shows like he was. James 1:17, 18. Our own sinful nature. Our own carnal desires. MMM 423.20
We see Paul so alive to his condition of bondage, almost in despair. Next verse shows freedom in Christ. MMM 423.21
We are in love with our carnal natures. God wants us to hate it. The law shows the degradation of the union. Christ wants us to be united to Him. He proposes a union with himself. That which is real life would be union(??). In the figure the union is unlawful and the end is death. MMM 423.22

The Old man dies at 2nd death. The Wages of Sin is death, without exception. In Chap. 6.1—The Law Oct. 19, 1888 MMM 423.26
Acts 15:28, 29. To abstain from polutions of Idols in a way covers all the 10 Com. Sabbath with the rest as Sun worship was the essence of Idolatry. MMM 423.27
We have taught that the typical law was done away. Did the Apostles fasten on them things done away years before. MMM 424.1

I opposed bringing up the question, especially when it was said that Dr. W was misrepresented. I considered it an unfortunate matter to come up here. If W had been sick I would have opposed its coming up. MMM 424.15
It is cowardly. MMM 424.16
There has never been an opportunity as Dr. W. has had. MMM 424.17

I regret that I cannot come before a congregation without being nervous. We all need God’s blessing. I am imperfect & my imperfections will be manifest. MMM 424.23
Mingled feelings. Glad to defend the Truth. Sorry for the necessity of investigating this subject. MMM 424.24
I have investigated too freely. I opposed this coming up because no one is present who has given this subject special study. MMM 424.25
This question does not rest on MMM 424.26
59—eloquence. That cannot be put on paper. MMM 425.1
But few things said about the Moral Law, but what we agree to 2 Peter 3:16. Pauls hard to be understood. As in this epistle we find his reproof of Peter. It may be this that is hard to be understood. MMM 425.2

Pauls Salutations. A likeness. MMM 425.6
Does he state object of letter in the salutation. MMM 425.7
The Law in Galatians. Is it trusting in keeping a Law that is right to keep, or is it trusting in a law that it is not right to keep. v. 6 Christ called them. v. 7 not another, because it is a development of the former. MMM 425.8
61—A perverted gospel. MMM 425.9
Christ led them from one Gospel to another, which is not another. The Second reads “that called you by the grace of Christ” R.V. “that called you in” MMM 425.10
My position. The object of reproof no ordinary sin. Treason to Christ Stealing is not so bad as Treason. MMM 425.11
Galatians 1:6; 2:2; 3:1; 4:9-11; 5:7-11; MMM 425.12
It was a special sin. To make it an ordinary sin it does violation to B or G. Ex Mark of Beast Sin. MMM 425.13

Book Two (“AA”)
MMM 471.1
p. 1 EWF [Farnsworth] 7:30 p.m. Oct. 12, 1888 MMM 472.1
Parable of Importunate Widow and Unjust Judge MMM 472.2
When Christ comes shall He find faith on the earth? MMM 472.3
Are we not in a time of indifference? There is an influence that follows prosperity, peace and plenty that is harder to meet than persecution. MMM 472.4
Matthew 24:11-13. False prophets shall arise. The love of many shall wax cold. Will iniquity outside cool our love? Is it iniquity among us? MMM 472.5
This Gospel must be preached in all the world, and then shall the end come. Only one thing that can separate us from God and that is sin. Our people came up to C.M. to get warmed up, to get the blessing of God. Then they go home and cool off. Is it not a law with metals that every time they are heated and then cool, they grow harder? MMM 472.6
Experience at the C.M.’s. LW Lost Love, Iniquity abounds. MMM 472.7
p. 2 During the (two?) years 13 or 14 members have left us. They have not only left the truth but some have gone into iniquity and nastiness too horrible to be told. MMM 472.8
In the last days perilous times shall come etc. MMM 472.9
Held C.M. where 20 brethren drove 313 miles to the meeting. How would you feel to hold C.M. when in a radius of 50 miles there are 1,000 or 1,500 Sabbathkeepers and only 300 attend? MMM 472.10
Some are in darkness because of broken vows. Having a fear of Godliness but denying the power thereof. True of us. Is there not power in God’s grace to overcome pride, ambition, jealousy, and other sins. From such turn away. MMM 472.11
p. 3 What can bring about a different state of things? Any talent we neglect to use, we lose. So of the grace of God. We should bring before all the relation that a converted man should sustain to God. His whole life should be devoted to God. The Tract So[ciety] Camp where two-thirds ministers time when straightening out church trials. If all would work devotedly there would be less trials. Missionary element leaking out of our Tract Societies. MMM 472.12
