God is changing his mind all the
time about the world, because he is a
living God and the world is a changing
world. The original prombitiOnists
got their message from God and wrote
it into the very constitution Of some
states. But where are they now?
God left them and they are fighting q
losing battle. Yet, the original pro-
hibitiSnist was a brave man aud a
better Christian than the indifferent
priest and Levite who do not care
Rev. W. D. Hide.
The reign of law is universal.
Without law nature would be chaos,
society would be anarchy. Without
law organized life would cease. The
laws OF nature are definite and must
be obeyed. Their Infaction entails
inevitable penalty. The laws OF
society are usually good, sometimes
bad; for instance, tue laws OF Russia.
Lawmakers have been known to be
bribed, and the law does not rise
higher thar it's source, The law of
God is the highest law. 1t is the
expression of the divine mind and
will Rev r. s. Dawson.
