Ignoring Natural Laws-The Penalty


The history of civilization has been
the history of the discovery by man OF
the laws of his being and the laws of the
material world by which he is sur
rounded !; Il history full of failures and
mistakes, of attempts to override by
force and by fraud and latterly by sta
tnte, the laws which the God of nature
has decreed, and to which, if he would
make any advancement, or eve pre-
serve his " existence,sshe must adjust
himself. Fragments of laws primitive
man soon discovered, but even so OBJ
vIons a law as that of gravitation had to
wait for a Newton before it could be
seen in its fullness. The laws OF me-
chanlcs have been pretty we'll defined,
but the laws Of his W body man is on
ly now discovering. and the laws of his
relation to his fellow men he is barely
beginning to recognize.
How many weary centuries he gloried
in wal and rapine; how long he fol-
lowed the banner of upstart against des-
pot and despot against upstart before he
learned that the tendency of War was
towards harbarlsAl and poverty, and
that universal peace was the great civil
lzer! What ages he held his brother
man in bondage he learned that slavery
was bad botlld8 b master and serf!
$~3ature's law that mar shall be a

civilization moves forwards and popula-
ton becomes dense a certain value shall

winch attaches to the products of labor.
