strong sermon to large congregation !
last night on the subject Anarchy,
Its Cause and Cure" His text was:
Let every soul be subject unto the
higher powers. For there is no power
but of God. Whosoever. therefore, re-
sisteth the power reslsteth the ordi-
nance of God; and they that resist
shall receive TO themselves damnation.
For rulers are not terror to good
works, but to the evil. wilt thou then
not be afraid Of the power?' Romans
xiii. II.
In part Dr. Murray said: Govern
mone is ordained of God. It is ne
oossity It's roofs strike deep in human
nature. Extreme indiyiluallsm is alb
normal. It has ne place in society.
Man cannot live alone. His well being
demands association. There must be
% power above the individual. This is
tine Government. It's executive officers
ARE Gods servants. They protect life
and property. They stand for peace
and good order in the community
They cannot be resisted in the proper
discharge of their duty without guilt.
Anarchy that has lifted its red
hand among US. is condemned by the
word of God But what is anarchy? It
is want of government. A state of so
ciety where there is no law, no head
no chief Eerything is everybody's. 1t
denies God and the immortality Of the
soul. 1t denounces the holy bond of
matrimony and claims no man has a
right to bind another. II is hydra
headed. II breaches a Gospel of hate,

hand Inat all the sc1s could not wash,

Its cause IS net only found in the
Tyranny Of despots. the inequalities of
society. labor agitati0ns, strikes, pO-

lterialistic philosophy, but in the deep
