physical health, and finds freedom in
health, happiness and efficiency.
Like a man purchasing superb
and along with the auto
mobile goes a book of instructions. The
instructions are not bondage prescribed
by the maker of the machine: they
show us the ways of getting the best
use out of the machine. One man says
Liberty is license, liberty is the absence
of law: l can do with my machine as
l please, and am free OF disobey every
suggestion. He discovers that his free
dom ends in bondage, and that it is a
long, long walk home. The same thing
is true of our physical natures. There
are certain physical laws, and freedom |
is found in service, in glad obedience |
TO them.
There are certain other laws wrought !
into the very constitution of our ma
lures, placed there by God himself |
There are certain fundamental moral |
laws. To think that ones free
dom spells license, to think that
one is free to disobey these
laws, which must be obeyed
II we are to attain peace, TO self-re-
spect and to happiness, is only to build
d prison for oneself-to come into
deeper bondage, bondage to ones con-
science.
Bondage to Conscience
II Shakespeare did one thing above
another, it was his vivid descriptions
of the bondage of conscience into which
such a man comes. Lady Macbeth
wrestling with the spot was wrestling,
after all, with the spot on her con
science; and Richard the Third, after
the murder OF the young princes, lying
awake on his bed ali the night long
was fettered through disobedience to
his conscience:
20 coward conscience. how thou cost
afflict me,
Aiy conscience hath a thousand several
tongues,
And every tongue brings in a several
tale,
And every tale condemns me for a VIII
lain
All my several sins
| Throng to the bar, crying, GUILTY.
GUILTY.
| Shall despair. There is TO creature
loves me
And # die no one shall pity me,
! Nay, wherefore should they. since that
l myself
Find in myself no pity for myself
! Is there no moral law here--disobc-
! dlence to which spells bondage 10
misery and suffering. We are free only
when from within We Gladly follow ~
moral law Of our beiYgs. Therefor we
! pray, For the light and neace which
comes through trust ana onslianca
and for the darkness and disUIinfIIIe
which befan us when we disobev Th,.
laws and follow our own lower desires
and selfish passions we praise Thee
: 0 Cod" There are certain moral 10 W.
written into our constitution 10 disobe,,
which is TO come into bondaoa rrba
| only freedom &c the freedom, of servia.'

But there is something else there
are certain other conditions certain
other factors and laws also written
into our very being. We are made for
