As soon as Jesus Of Nazareth made his Law
known, which vas, Of course. presented 70 the
world as Divine law, you will nnd that very soon
after the reign OF Tioerins Csesar there began tO

sumo . more equitable form, snd after the ps-
riod Of Justinian, everything Of moral char
acter in the Roman Law was shaped and moulded
BY the christian standard, and the authority oi

on the divinity Of the law. In tsat change ex-

the common Law Of Europe.
| Those who follow up the history will md that
up to the time when the monarchies OF Europe
began to prevail, the law and duty that man
| owed to God and the world, was believed Dy
them TO have divine origin. a
Now it ls : very easy matter to enforce law 70
that way. IL is very easy matter 70 convince
the conscience o! man. u you can cniy ma9s
him believe that something superior 10 hiHseifs
eternal omnscient, and omnipresent, has De
tefrnined him do that thing.

/ fectly certain that he would not nov oe I'D tne

That was his revelation.
/ You will find, therefore, nv fellow citizens.
that that TACT which is proclaimed 10 the system
Of modern law aud jurisprudencs, vas always
the opinion Of the world; that one man hao no
right, without the consent OF another. 20 give
law to him. That truth vas maintained tnfOugn
the superstition OF the then human m'nd 10 al
the Pagan world, and through the cnsistan
mind in the time OF later revelation.
THE GOAT THAT BUTTS At THE GATE POST.
When we come to modern Europe, we soon
meet with gentleman At Rome, 10 Italy, tnas
they cali - Biahop," and he looms up nightly,
and it has always appeared 70 me that there
could be no feasible Interpretation gwen by men
Of understanding. OF that goat spoken OF oy the
