Last Thursday afternoon, Rev. A. E.
Patch spoke to us about the coolest
Law Book in the World" Up to five
years ago the book of Moses was con-
sldered the Oldest law book, but four
years ago the code of Hammu Rabi was
found. Hammu Rabi was the first
king of the united Babylonians, and
the code was written one thousand
years before the book of Moses. The
code is written in an ancient script on
black stone seven and one-half feet
high. The king describes himself and
praises his works. The code contains
about one hundred and eighty very odd
laws. These laws were made about the
year 1850 B. c., nevertheless they,
through the laws of Persia, Greece,
Rome and other countries, have
affected the English laws of today.
