The theocrat. [volume] (Zion City [i.e. Zion], Ill.) 1914-1949, 1915-06-05

The address throughout was replete
with wholesome ideas calculated to slim
ulate in the young people of the audience,
particularly, the principle that if they
would be useful and would succeed in
the highest purpose of life they must
first get in touch with the Infinite Mind
and direct their efforts in His service;
and he particularly reminded all that IT
God was not put first in the life that any
amount of intellectual training or of
physical development would avail moth
ing.
The speaker expressed his great desire
that the young people might be educated
to the highest degree of efficiency, and he
further expressed the hope that arrange
ments might be made so that the Zion
City Schools could be maintained for at
least nine months of each year.
Following the address by the General
Overseer, Hon. w. Hurd Clendinen,
President of the Board of Education,
addressed the graduates with well-timed
remarks, and presented to them their
diplomas, and to the graduates of the
Eighth grade he presented certificates of
promotion to the Zion City High School.
The entire program was of great
interest. The motto of the Class was
I'm Limimie Vitae," meaning, CAT THE
THRESHOLD OF LIFE" motto well
chosen considering the address of the
evening by the General Overseer.

MORALITY AND .RELIGION.-Al-
Ian Stevens thinks Illinois has legis-
lated against the laws of nature and
natures God in prohibiting marriage
for one year after divorce.
If men were a little more modest
in their estimate of the magnitude
of human intelligence they would
avoid many mistakes in legislation
and in action. 1t is safe to assume
that there is a Supreme Intelligence,
the source of all things, but it is dan
gerous to assume that we know alb
solutely what Gods intentions and
Gods laws are. The emperor of Ger
many, backed by his people, is as
Stunning that God wills the German
empire to be the ruling power of the
world and in Gods name is commit
ting such crimes as have hardly a
parallel in history.
We can only learn Gods law and
natural law by our own experience
and by the record of the experience
of humanity in the past. Leaving
out the question of the existence of
a Creator. the experience of human
ity shows that the ten command
ments promulgated by Moses are
solid foundation for human action
and for human laws. Supplemented
by the teachings of Jesus, we can
draw from them the law of equal
freedom for every human and raise
a standard Of action which will guide
us in the right way.
Apply this law to marriage and d.
vorce. The best information obtain
able indicates a substantial equality
of numbers in the sexes. This indi-
Gates the law of one man for one
woman, monogamy and the founding
of the family for the rearing of chill

dren. Any other relation of the sexes
is shown by experience to lead to all
sorts of evils, including murder, the
instinct for the purpose of propagat-
ing and continuing the race. He has
brains that if used will enable him to
put one instinct to its proper use, and
if her does this he will discover the
moral law of the commandment and
obey it. The only business of the
state with this relation is to regulate
it as far as possible to protect the
offspring of the relation.
If grass widowers are dangerous
and unfit to be at large they should
be restrained and treated medically
or surgicaly, so they might be made
harmless. If any other human be-
ings, male or female, gets in that
condition they should be treated the
same way. Lechery is as much
crime as murder and society should
be protected as far as possible.
The law prohibiting marriage after
divorce is foolish law. People'who
make mistakes in marriage should be
allowed to correct the mistakes I'M
der proper regulations for the care
and protection of the children. But
very large part of these troubles
come from the fact that people are
not free. Our laws and institutions
are crowded with special privileges
that deprive the mass of the people
of their equal rights and build up
Pharasaic notions of their caste and
race superiority, which corrupt seci-
ETY. throughout and breed extreme
poverty, extreme luxury and all sorts
of crimes.
The greatest and most prolific of
crime breeders among these special
privileges is the institution of tenure
and wrongful taxation that disinher-
it's the mass of mankind and robs
them of their earnings, denying at
the same time the right to live upon
