ton. The apostle is here using SYM
bclic language. The earth here re-
referred to is the present social con-
dlt1ons, the heavens the ecclesiastical
conditions and the elements the wick
ed elements. If this scripture means
exactly what it says then heaven as
well as the earth will be burned up
which would be disastrous to all the
holy angels, Our Lord and all of HIS
Saints. That this is symbolic Ian
guage is proven by verse 1S which
says: eve according to his promise
look for a new heaven and a new earth
wherein dwelleth righteousness"
Which refers to the renovated earth
during the millennium.
Think of the time when the earth
will be clean of unrighteousness and
full of righteousness! Wont that be a

REASONS FOR OUR CONVENTIONS.
1Saluda, N. G.

Editor Democrat:
The great law writer Mr.. Blackstone.
tells us that law is a rule of action
prescribed by the Supreme power in a
state commanding that which is right
and prohibiting what is wrong. He
also says that low is reason and what
is not reason is not law. There are
certain forms and ceremonies in con-
nection with the administration of law
which are founded in reason, and yet
their nature, origin and purpose are
moi always known and appreciated by
the common citizens. The recitations
in the ordinary deed of conveyance OF
lands, it's proper and legal execution,
the acknowledgment by all the max
ers, the time, place and mode of taxi
ing the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS cere-
mony, judicial in it's character, which
must be gone through with by the
makers, the married woman's exam
iLation and acknowledgment and the
officer before whom the same is taken,
in order that the ceremony may be
considered judicial in character.
While the origin of all these formalf-
Western Carolina Democrat and French Broad hustler. [volume] (Hendersonville, N.C.) 1913-1915, 1914-03-26

ties extends back into the Feudal times
in Europe, yet they are founded In
wisdom and reason, not only protect
ing the immediate buyer, but follow
ing down the ages and vesting the title
il his offspring, for future genera
t.ols, as perfectly and completely as
the same vested in him.
Law in it's general sense is public
reason. Where there is no reason,
/ tnere is no law, and before a thing al
be truly pronounced reasonable it
must be susceptible of proof. Law in
it's contentious, is always reasonable,
ard while we have a great deal to say
about principles" yet it is a great
and undeniable truth, that when we
are without reason, We are likewise
not possessed of principles"
We distinguish truth from falsehood
by the power of reaso and going a
step further, in u contentious, we
think we may distinguish right from
wrong by the same means and yet
right and wrong are but relative
terms. 1t is often the case that what
one honest mind may reason out to be
wrong, another mind equally as hon.
est and intelligent may reason out ths
same, in the eyes of God and man, to
be right. The mistake so many good
people make is in coming to the con-
clusion that virtue and vice are arbi-
trary things, when in fact that are
rqere attitudes in the moral affairs of
men. To be sure we have a natural
reason for what we call virtue as we'll
AS for what we call vice. When we enter
the domestic arena there Is where one
reasoning contentious run amuck. I
say to my neighbor It is positively d
vice and sin for you to be so broad in
your views as to allow your chickens
to run at large and eat my Iawn-grass
and scratch my garden, while my
neighbor says in reply to me, 1t is
cruel and sinful for me to be SO mar
now minded as to keep my fowls shut
MP in close unhealthy quarters, when
God and nature bid us let them go
forth in the freedom which He gives
to all living things, while in the mean
time both he and l live in that give
and-take style. that would allow
chickens to scratch where they will.
OF course we will all understand that
there are certain wicked crimes, which
bv the law writer's are termed"malUm
! per sc" while other restrictions are
simply called offences and because of
the passage of statutes, they are call
ed "malum prOhibitum" not because
they are sins, or crimes at all, but be-
cause reason In the minds of men
! combines means for an end" having
learned by experience that certain re-

will consist of two floors and will
most likely contain Iounging or read
