In the context we are face to face with Moses and Christ. It is in the nature of a fallen curiosity and debased ingenuity to be making more wordy laws. Jesus Christ brought laws to a minimum. Any society that is rich in schedules and bye-laws and subtle arrangements and difficult interpretations of the law is in a bad way. We want to hear the sweet woman-voice of the Man who calls us away from all these things into fellowship with God, union with the Spirit, oneness with the eternal right.
Society is organised scepticism.
A fallen and depraved being. We must get back to that divine standard if we would set a right value upon any human creature that has debased humanity and brought discredit upon the very earth he treads. We have had enough. There is great difficulty in some quarters as to the immortality of the soul. This man hath a dream, and that man a prophecy, concerning altruism, and another man hath a proposition to make.
