The Natural Conscience.

In the matter of obeying conscience We
are to consider its standard as guide
for moral actions.
There is what is termed a natural con-
science, and right or well informad
conscience, and also probable. an ig-
norant, an erroneous, a doubling and an
evil conscience.
The natural conscience is that priE-
ciple which more or less controls the
actions Of men of all countries and all
beliefs in the common duties of existence
in relation to themselves and others.
This principle in some degree exists IN
the minds of all men. Among the most
ignorant tribes and the darkest regions
Of earth 1t appears that some regard
has always been given to what was just
and what was unjust. some distinction
between the right and wrong OF things.
The natural conscience not being en-
lightened by knowledge of the law OF
God, is very imperfect monitor Tor
right living; yet even In the savage
breast conscience is the browning rae
ulty, for whatever of good there is IN
him comes from its dictates.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1913-03-08

only rule Immediately binding the CON-
science OF men. Thus IL becomes q moral
sense or mental condition by which men
recognize or feel the difference between
right and wrong.
The legitimate Office Of the conscience
is to prescribe what man ought to be,
and what he ought to do. The only
authority over it is God, who implanted
it In our being.
In all things that are Indifferent to the
well being Of the state and the demands
of morality the rights of conscience
should not be invaded by human laws.

The Two Empires.
1t is related that when certain persons
attempted to persuade Stephen, King of
Poland to constrain some of his sub
jects, who were of a different religion.
to embrace his, 5he said to them: II am
king of men and rot Of consciences. The
dominion of conscience belongs exclusive
ly to God"
Napoleon Bonaparte uttered a similar
view of the freedom Of conscience In mat
tiers. of worship In these memorable words:
Il wish it to be understood that my
intention and firm determination are TO
maintain liberty Of. worship The empire
of the law ends where the empire of the
conscience begins. Neither the law nor

Commission Considers Conditions.


We have here one Of the first surveys
taken by q commission Of the civic life OF

many modern Investigations into city
corruption and social conditions or the
people. but none has been so dark as
the investigation of Sodom by the mes
sengers of God, who could not find ten
persons in the whole city that could be
classed as righteous Abraham stopped
his microscopy prayer. for the city with
the request that God, Who had told HIS
friend. of the plan to investigate the
moral and social conditions OF Sodom

Of It's corruption and crimes. save the

there and Jehovah had consented to
withhold punishment for the number

probably be found in Lots family. Abra-

A Probable Conscience.

a Probable Conscience.
A probable conscience, as designated by
some, writers. Is that which. in ceases
light contents itself with bare probable
tiles. There are many who have con-
sciences Of no higher character.
A weak conscience is better than. a
sinful one, and We may not say that a
man with such a conscience cannot be
saved, yet 1t is far from being as perfect
as it ought to be.
Ignorant and Erroneous Conscience.
An ignorant conscience is different from
and less reliable than a probable con-
science. 1t is ready to decide what is
right or wrong without guidance of
knowledge or light: 1t decides with great
confidence when it is entirely destitute
Of just grounds for action.
An erroneous conscience is still worse,
for it acts upon q false or mistaken
standard Of Judgment, and cannot pos
sibly fail to reach unfortunate results,
while the ignorant conscience might by
chance at least declare for the right.
X r. !.
The Evil Conscience.
An evil conscience is the worst OF all,
and Of which there are several kinds.
First q polluted or defiled conscience;
second, a scared or hardened conscience.
OF these kinds Paul speaks Il Tim,
4:1-2), Some shall depart from the faith,
giving heed to seducing spirits and doc
trines of devils speaking lies in hypoc-
risy. having their-conscfence scared with
a hot IRON
Again, it is an evil conscience that lies
dormant during the commission of sin.
or is not startled at the proposal of sim
full deeds or connives. at the commission
of them.
Before obedience to conscience is urged
it is important to have it instructed in
the law Of God.
When there is supreme love for God
and for our neighbOrs as for ourselves,
then the conscience will be enlightened,
and obedience to its dictates is in ac-
cordance with our highest well being.

but It never dies It is like every other
faculty Of the soul, undeveloped in the
infant imperfectly developed in the saw
age and the unregenerate man., yet, how
ever neglected or abused, it Is never de-

FoRNlA CITY.

The adventurous life Of Louis Dean,
says the Reno Journal, who died in
San Francisco at the age of 49, form
ed the subject of an interesting story
in the San Francisco Chronicle OF
last Sunday. Louis Dean built the
Dean building on Center street across
from the Golden hotel, and he at
one time owned large holdings of
real estate in the business section.
According to Mrs. Dean her hus-
band was the last of the pony ex-
press riders who furnished all the
transportation on the Overland trail
until the railroad went over the
Sierra He joined the express service
at the age of "a when it vas organ
lied in 1860 He had many thrilling
experiences with Indians. He was in
Reno May 10, 1868, when the Central
Pacific auctioned off the lots of the
town, and he bought then two par
GELS land on Virginia street, which
later sold for 500 front foot He
was friend of Samuel L. Clemens
and of Judge c. C. Goodwin. In 1884
he bought out the Ward brothers
cattle outfit which embraced thou
sands of acres from Pyramid lake
to the Oregon line
One of Mr.. Deans experiences was
the horsewhipping of a Piute Indian
chief who came to drive off cattle
at the old Stone and Gates crossing
four miles below the present loca-
ton of Reno---
Mr.. Dean moved to Petaluma sew
eral years ago and he died two weeks
ago of Brights disease in San Fran
cisco.
