The law and the gospel are no,
not antagonistic. They are in per
feet harmony at every point. lii»
law is, and always was th eonditi >n
of life, and so far as we know it ai
wavs will be. It does not furnish
tlie condition ot salvation to sinners
it is true, but this does not afe t t.ie
proposition at all. Ihe law is mdis
pensible to the salvation ol a smnei.
without it we could not know sin. a
consciousness of sin is necessary to
repentance. No man can repent of
a crime unt'l he feels and knows ho
has committed the otb-nee. the law
gives this conviction and thus pre
pires the sinner to accept mercy
through the law of recovery. Re
pei tance toward God and faith in
our Lord Jesus Christ is the condi
tion of life under the law Ihe sin
ner fullv convinced that he has \ h>-
lated that law. the conditon ol
wis perfect obedience, :t r 1- • . *•'
