"Thou shalt have no other gods before me." "I believe in one God and no more," said Thomas Paine.
"Thou shalt worship no graven image." No worshiper of images was he.
"Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain." He abstained from profanity himself and rebuked it in others.
"Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy." He observed this law as faithfully as did his Christian neighbors.
"Honor thy father and thy mother." His parents were the objects of his reverence and love.
"Thou shalt not kill." He did not kill. He labored to abolish war and murder.
"Thout shalt not commit adultery." He was charged with adultery, and the foul beast who made the charge was forced to pay a heavy fine for his libelous assault.
"Thou shalt not steal." Were all mankind as honest as he was the locksmith's avocation would be gone.
"Thou shalt not bear false witness." From his truthful lips no one ever heard a falsehood fall.
"Thou shalt not covet." A man who consecrates his life to the cause of humanity, and who steadily refuses to be recompensed for his services, cannot be accused of covetousness.
