Strong" argument of various brands of disbeev-
ers. It is really damnable rot without any basis
in nature. Besides if the reader will pardon
other depression which has just occurred by this
argument, men like Darwin and Spencer turn the
tables themselves. If child placed in infancy
among animals will be like to them and the first
races of men were anmalistic whence came civil
cation, even that of pagan Rome! Persons of medi-
OGRE intelligence know that savage tribe adj
vance one step IN progress, social or otherwise,
without higher race to teach it. The Indians of
North America never went a step higher until they
in contact with Europeans. That is all
will say that point What concerns us now is
Christianity
For 1000 years the whole world lived, battled
and prayed under the eyes of gods of stone except
ing. of course the Jewish people. and many of them
often followed the pagan worship. Now, according
to the history of Israel, all their ages expected
Redeemer Every great prophet that saw the light
of day among them told and sang of his glorious
advent. But during all this time the Jews
under the law of Moses Every violation of that
Decree every temporary alteration from Mosaical
Christianity to the savage gods entailed dreadful
Establishments upon the people in the nature Of
banishment captivity and death. Where, then,
the liberty of the Jews? There came spirit
ual human freedom on earth when the Messas es-
pired Calvary. What body of men would so
forth into strange nations and take upon them
selves the hercuean task of teaching and civilizing
complete strangers prior to the time of Christi The
Romans would not do it. They were solely occu-
pied with material grandeur But these proselyt-
ers felt themselves under q law which they dared
not disobey. And this stern law of inspiration and
conscience which told men in no uncertain tones
that they were their brothers keepers would brook
no denial. Herein is a marvellous phenomenon that
this law was not in the world in the hearts of
men until after Christ died. Previous to his birth
it never entered into the minds of men as it did af
ter his death that they should trouble themselves
concerning the destiny of alien races. But apart
from all this whence came the birth of divine law
on EARTH 1t came forth when God said to the
woman, Il will multiply thy sorrows and thy CON
ceptions in shalt thou bring forth children,
and thou shalt be under thy husbands power, and
he shall have dominion over thee" And to the man
he said: Because thou hast hearkened to the
voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, where
of [ commended thee that thou shoudst not eat,
cursed is the earth in thy work; with labor and toll
shalt thou eat all the days of thy life Thorns and
thistes shall it bring forth to thee. And thou
shalt eat the herbs of the earth. In the sweat of
thy face shalt thou eat bread till thou return to
the earth, out of which thou TAKEN for dust
thou art and into dust thou shall return"
At least if this was not the inception of divine
law it was the beginning of punishment for its
violation. The origin of the law began when God
commanded the first and woman not to eat of
the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. The
real and amplifed divine law, meant for whole
nation, was promulgated on Mount Sinai, when
God gave Moses the ten commandments. In fact
the complicated laws of the whole Jewish people
came direct from the Creator and from them to
the whole world for we can trace the civilized
Christian history of man through the Roman Cath
Ole church, the jewish synagogue to the tower of
Babel and from the tower of the confusion of
