The full text of Mr.. Shields talk last
evening follows:
The civil law, under which we hold
citizenship, changes from time 10
time, but every right-minded man and
! woman observes this law, If for no
other reason than the protection 1t
affords in the orderly conduct OF their
lives and the peaceful possession OF
property.
! The divine law, under which we
tclaim sonship, is 1.-The same yesterday,
TODAY and forever 1t declares that
"all men are created equal and en-
dows them with certain inalienaole
/ rights" such as 'life. liberty and the
pursuit of happiness" We have only
| to be law abiding to enjoy this herit-
age. H salth. strength, abundance
| 10y, are spiritual facts. Whoever WILL

within himself, not letting go the
angels the thought of God until he
can win the struggle. Then it was
that his name was changed from
Jacob to Israel, which means Soldier
of God"
Sometime everytime man will
wrestle with the error within himself
even to the point of overcoming every
thought at variance with God. Then
will he have earned the name "ls-

one Of the Children Of Israel He
will be of the chosen people be-
cause he has chosen God.
| By a6hering strictly to the original
divine law and turning away from
all fake Gods in matter, by going to
