The American branch Of the Universal
Peace Union, In session at Washington, have
resolved, "That all idea OF punishment, both
in the human and Divine government, should
be done away with, as at war with the law OF
iove,n and that the "present system OF disci-
pline in the family, the school and the prison,
founded on this idea, Is unworthy Of ciyiliza-
tion, to say nothing Of Christianity" This
sweeping effort at Reorganization has the merit
OF consistency. as II proposes to include the Di
vine rule as well as the human In Its opera
tion. We presume that the hrst step In the
proposed reform will be to abolish the law Of
gravitation, so that those who wish to amuse
Themselves by falling from house.tops shall
not be punished BY having their brains dashed
out. II should be decreed, at the same time,
that fire shall no longer burn or water drown;
that all the physical laws Of the universe,
henceforth be disobeyed without punishment.
The moral laws Of the Divine government
should be subjected to a similar reform. BY
thus striking at the root OF the Idea that the
disregard OF law necessitates punishment
these enthusiasts will prepare the way for the
millennium for which they sigh.-dimy and
