GODS LAWS EQUALLY BINDING

GODS LAWS EQUALLY BINDING
When God called Moses into the
Sinai and gave him the ten com
mandments that were to be the
foundation for the governing of the
world, the foundation for all the laws
ever needed to secure justice and
right, He made no difference in the
commandments. One was equally as
binding as the other. God gave to
Moses for the governing of the peo-
pie this law in Lev. 1911: eye shall
not steal, neither deal falsely, neither
lie one to another" Had God intend
ed that only a part Of the command
ments should be obeyed He would
have given only that part. He did
not tell Moses that this command
ment is to be kept and that this one is
a joke" eye shall not steal, neither
deal falsely, neither lie on to another"
were intended by God to be as bind
ing as "Thou shalt not kill
In proverbs GIG the scriptures say,
"These six things doth the Lord hate:
6:19, " A false witness that speaketh
lies, and he that soweth discord
among brethren" A lie told by an
orator in order to make himself the
hero of his own story, even though
that story is an old chestnut, is Just
as much lie as one told by Gypsy
to close horse trade.
Bearing false witness against a
neighbor is just as wicked and Just
as much, violation of the ninth com
mandment in place of worship as in
a saloon or court of justice. These
laws apply equally to all men and to
all places. There is no "oratorical
license" that permits the breaking of
any of these laws at any place or
under any circumstances. In Rev.
21:8, we have the record of the pun
ishment for all liars, etc. "But the
fearful, and unbelieving, and the alb
and murderers, and whore
and sorcerers, and idolators,
and all liars, shall have their part in
the lake which burneth with fire and
birthstone: which is the second DEATH"

If the United States does not enter
the League of Nations the country
will have a freer hand in it's dealings
with Mexico and will not have to
submit its disagreements with that
republic to any arbitration
This may be we'll. Per-
haps, when we get change of ad-
we will have some one
in authority with enough ''back bone0
to defend the rights of American citi-
zens and put Mexico where she really
belongs. A man like Governor Cool |
ldge, of Massachusetts, or General |
Pershing in the presidential chair
would not permit Mexico to go on as |
she has been going and rest content
with writing notes to the alleged
ruler of that turbulent country. He
would act and, if necessary. write
notes later.
