And endless pleasures bloom.

COMMAND—COMMANDMENT.

Moses went up unto mount Sinai, as the Lord had commanded him, and took in his hand the two tables of stone.

And he wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant, the ten commandments.—Exodus, xxxiv. 4, 28.

Jesus said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

This is the first and great commandment.

And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
