Do you believe that whatever is
is right / do not; | cannot believe
it. If right means accordance with
the viii Of God surely there is much
wrong in the world
But, it is argued, God is omnipotent,
and therefore has power TO direct all
things az He wills Granted. Never,
tneiess both scriptural and secular
history, as also the turbulent course
OF current events combine to show
that tranEgression OF Divine law is
as old as the race, and as persistent
God has given 20 man agency and
liberty OF action. 1t is the will OF
God that this btrthright Of human
freedom shall be inviolate; but ii is
contrary 10 the Divine intent that man
shall abuse his agency, and mis-,
construe his liberty as license for
wrong-doing. And as with the indi-
yidual, SO with communities and ma
tons.
In the course Of Israeis troubled
tourney from Egypt, where they had
dwelt az IN house Of bondage" TO
Canaan the land of their promised IN
heritanee, the Lord gave them many
laws and established ordinances. with
promise Of blessing for compliance,
and warning OF calamity If they proved
disobedient AS the sacred record
progresses, the fact is made plain that
Israel had chosen the evil alternative,
FORGETTING the blessings and reapin
the curses.
In the days of Samuel the Israelites
clamored for king. They were tired
of the theo-democracy under which
they had prospered, and wanted to be
like all nations" monarchy, with a
king wearing crown, swaying a
scepter, and sitting enthroned in
state Read l Samuel, chapter 8. This
condition had been fOreseen and fore
told; nevertheless the people erred in
their demand, and the Lord yielded
under protest. There is real pathos
in HIS words to the prophet: "They
have MOI rejected thee, but they have
re Iected me, that | should not reign
over them" They had their king, and
a long succession of monarchS, some
OF whom proved to be veritable ty.
rants, and the people groaned under
the oppression against which they had
been foreWarned.
Was it the will of God, think you
that Israel should sin? Can it be the
Divine will that any man or nation
shall come under the thrall of mi
guilty? Is it the will of God that man
shall make of himself drunken sot
with reason dethroned and naught
but his british passions alert? Or
that man shall Cypress his fellows by
unrighteous dominion, robbing them
of the rights upon which God Himself
refuses to infringe even though those
rights be grossly misused? Is it the
