This sin shallnot be remittedto you even untilye die."8 Also in Exodus : " And the peoplesatedown to eat and drink,and rose up to play."* Paul,in the firstto the Corinthians: " Meat commendeth us not to God ; neitherif we eatshallwe abound, nor if we eat not shallwe want."* And again: " When ye come togetherto eat,wait one for another. If any ishungry,lethim eatat home, thatye may not come togetherfor judgment."6 Also to the Romans : " The kingdom of God isnot meat and drink,but righteous ness,and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost."7 In the Gospel accordingto John : u I have meat which ye know not of. My meat is,thatI shoulddo His willwho sent me, and shouldfinishHis work."8 61. That the lustof possessing,and money, are not to be soughtfor.
