CRIMINAL AND
 DIVINE LAWS
 ARE COMP AIRED
Father 0'ReiIIy Takes Issues With People
 on Religious
 Conceptions
PUNISHMENT FOR VILLA

Last evening Father O'Reilly, S. ] J., lectured 10 crowded church on
 the Sanction of the Divine Law" ard the address was listened to with
 close attention. Father OReiiiy said:
 There is no law without some sane ton. Our civil laws have their sane.
 ton in the puuishment that is meted out to criminals convicted for the crimes committed against them The moment the law has no sanction for its observance, then 1t loses it's binding force and becomes Q mere dead letter upon the Statute Books. The State eXpenis millions for the erection of the State Capitol and
 the Halls where justice is admins. tered. but it spends vast sums like wise for the State penitentiaries and federal prisons; the latter are just as necessary as the former for with out them human life would not be worth the living
 Since every law must have a sane tion in civil life, the question natur- ally arises what sanction has the Creator fixed for the observance and violation of His Divine Law? The Ten Commandments are an epi. tome Of the Divine Law, God has made them observance the condition for eternal happiness: If thou wilt enter into life gays Christ, keep the commanlments.' Putting aside for the time the authority of Holy Writ, we can by the aid of the req son that is in us see the justice of eternal punishment after death for those who depart this life with grievous sin unrepented. Sin is a turning away from the Creator to the satisfaction found in some crea- ture, making use of said created thing against the will of the Great or; and in this consists the two-fold disorder of sin--withdrawal from God and revolt against right.
 Now, if this withdrawal and re. volt should last indefinitely, say un- til death. What follows? Then, God is obliged to punish the sinner eter- nally, for the will of the sinner in death was fixed in sin, he has de. fled God unto the end; and alter death repentance is out of question, for then, the human wllI is no long

Puget Sound Capitalist Will Carry Out Long Planned Tour of

1 SEATTLE Ja2. i.--iBy maiD. - ! F. A. Sims, of Port Townsend, foul times a member of the House and for three sessions one of the Republi can floor leaders, will leave Thurs day for an extended tour of South America. Mrs. Sims, who will aC company him, probably will join MT Sims at the Butler Hotel today, says the Seattle Times
 For several months a deal has been pending between Mir. Sims and Chicago capitalists for the sale ot the Sims fishing interests in Alaska Another deal for the disposal of hir Puget Sound interests also has been hanging fire and finally the Alaskan deal was satisfactorily made. Mir Sims will leave this week for San Francisco, cross the continent to New Orleans, Key West fit across to Havana and then head for the south,
 To Spend Winter in South
 It is Mr. Sims purpose to spend the winter in South America He will return in1time to make a cruise of Alaskan waters next summer prob. ably on his own yatcht. He will spend about three, months of the summer in visiting out-of-the-way places in Alaska.
 Unless there is some change in the Sims plans the following winter will be spent in Australia The two parts of the globe that Mr. Sims, as an old sailor aud extensive trav- eler, has wanted to visit are South America and Australia and he pur- poses seeing them at once. It might have been possible to drag him off to Europe but for the fact that all the interesting points in Europe are now occupied by hostile armies. So Mir. Sims will not even go to Liver pool to take boat for South Ameri- ca-the shortest route. He will keep as far out of the war zone as possible taking chances on making steamship connection in the Bermuias or some other Southeastern point
 "When went into politics" said Mir. Sims at the Alaska Building offices today q promised that when I retired I would spend some time in travel. I always have wanted to see South America and Australia and those two countries are on my  visiting list.

CT free; and since death cannot change the unrepentant will, the will must continue forever unreDentant, and consequently in a state of per petual enmity with God. How this truth is all the more evident when we reflect that it rests upon the fundamental order of Divine PrOyi- dence, viz; This life is the tria. time, the next life is the state Of finality where the soul reaches its last end, it's uttermost term Of ex- istence Life here is the seed.time, eternity is the fruit. As O man sows, so shall he reap. As the tree leans, so shall it fall Sin is the result of the souls own choice, that choice in death is fixed and final.
 Tt is true indeed that God prom. ises pardon to those who repent of their sins whenever they beg for. giveness, but this promise is evil dently limited to the present life, for we read in St. Paul: Behold now is the acceptable time; behold now is the day of salvation and hence, the Apostle concludes Therefore, whilst we have time, let us do good to all men,. Hence We find no injustice on the part of God in meeting out eternal punishment to those who die in the state of sin wilful and uure- pentant, for the punishment must last as long as long as the guilt and we have already shown that the guilt of unrepentant mortal sin is perpetual, therefore the punishment must be commensurate to the guilt, and hence the eternity of hell.
 '"The doctrine of eternal punish. ment is one of those hard sayings in the Gospel, but here on earth, there are many hard sayings we are obliged toaccept; when a criminal, for instance, takes human life, the civil court sentences him to capital punishment or Imprisonment for life; and thus, the State goes as far as possible to make the punishment of the crime eternal for once the criminals life is taken the State can never restore it. The act of moment in discharging a pistol is punished with death, it is death for. ever as far as the power of the State can go. Our government has now spent over $7O.OOO,OOO trying to punish a Mexican bandit he is still at large; he has violated every law, human and divine; if there were no. hell for such monsters, our sense of justice would have us create one.
 Tt is related of Voltaire that on one occasion, a youthful skeptic called to see him and said in the course of his conversation: At last I have convinced myself that hell does not exist An! replied Vol- taire, you are a lucky man, for that is more than have been able to be sure of after many years of laboriOus study"
