"3. Do not take oaths.

"4. Do not resist evil by evil.

"Love God, and thy neighbour as thyself."

"Christ has said that he who shall have broken the least of these commandments will hold the lowest place in the kingdom of heaven."

"Strange as it may seem, I have been obliged, after eighteen centuries, to discover these rules as a novelty."
