 Theme

We are pleased to find in the last issue oi the NEWS an earnest response to our recen article on "Canaan's Morals." It is stil mora gratifying to note that Mir. Warren agrees with us essentially as to the mean. necessary to remedy the evil.
 In order however to render this harmony complete, and to remove some seeming nisapprehsnsions on the part of MT. War rta. ws would state why our article ws: written. lst, Because of our conviction that not '.Any man, or set of men; or any ssct, either eur church, your church, or tht church." eff be 90 pleases to have lt). could accomplish alone the end sought. 2d, Be causs we knew that ''preiudice, ''phsr. isaism." ''conceit" and every other obstacle must bs overcome and removed. 3d, BscAuss we were aware that ''aH the neral elsmsnts" must be enlisted and united to in sure success.
 Now observe that we did SO enlist ~aL the moral clements" They comprise lst. The united moral sentiment of the commu- nity. In republic the people not osly make the laws. but can compel the enforce msnt sf ths same. The body polite choos- e it's own ofiicers, and ought to dismiss de linquents. Therefore this united sentiment cuts like . two edged sword. It frowns down the immoral practice whatever it be, aad it compels the public officer te rrose- cute the lAw-breaker. 2d. We advocate the enforcement of the civil law itself. This prevents any basty or arbitrary aetios growing out of popular excitement. yet in- sures such good results as flow from . healthy public sentiment, morally and hence lawfully exercised. 3rd, We de- aired to have the preceding means used to pars tAs isay for the effectual working of religious forces. And among these latter ws include whatever is good. whatever is Christian, whatever would have been em- pleyed in like case by the Master Him elf.
 Here then is . noble union-Public Ssn- 1imsnt Civil Law; the Christian Religion. EAa mnral fierce of sentiment brings into asfien civil law, and this in turn opens a way for the higher work of religious prin- ciple.
 Sureiy Mr. Warrea cannot feel that we gre sprejudiced, pharisaical or conceitsd, :" but rather willing. nay anxious to "Upite with all the moral elements which can be enlisted"
 h conclusion let us suggest to another correspondent, ''Mountainser." that St. Psnl declares the Mosaic Law to have been ssOur scho0lmaster to bring us unto Chrlst. !" If that were true of the Galatians perhaps the civil law. based as 1t is on the Mosaic, may serve the like purpose for Canasnites. He might also read with profit Romans xiii te inclusive. If his friend the mission arv has departed. we are surs "Mouutsin- eer,, will await bis return eagerly In erder to huut up the reference in the missionary's R;h,e.
