There are two classes OF slaves
who make little or no effort to be-
come free: I'D those who were born
into serfdom. who know no better
state and consequently accept their
lot as the natural and unchange-
able order; and CD those who,
though realizing their abject status.
are deferred through fear and cow
ardice. or are too lazy to try to bet
ter their condition
The FIRST class arouses pity. the
second, contempt
Then there are others, to whom
servitude is CALLING. but who bear
their chains in silent anguish be-
cause they know not how to rid
themselves. OF these seHe have

others have sold themselves into

enslavement. and to political. moral
and spiritual bondage.
We affirm that freedom and iudi-
viduaI agency are mans birthrighti
and consequently. THAI any attempt
to subvert or destroy the same Is
antagonistic To the Divine purpose
and law.
Right Is the result OF harmony
with the law OF God; wrong Is the
violation thereof and therefore the
fruitage OF sin.
Righteousness leads to freedom,
sin to bondage. This truth Is en-
bodied in the Masters comprehen-
sive precept: "wheso~v-r commit
t~th sin IL the servant OF sin.' John
$50.
The occasion of this profound ut
terance is memorable. Christ was
preaching to the people when a mot
ley crowd of Phartsecs and Others
challenged His words and ->sayed 10

and pictured its inevitable conse-
quences of suffering and Servitude
In mortality and beyond.

In their fanatical fury they had for

Jesus made II clear that lie had
not referred to freedom In its phys
ical or political sense alone, though
to this conception their false dis
ayowal had been directed. The lib
erty He specifically proclaimed was
spiritual liberty: the grievous bond
