We Disregard Divine Laws

There arc several questions that
may be asked First. is Seattle any
more corrupt than the same depart.
ment in other cities OF the United
States3 Second. is the city govern
ment Of Seattle any worse than that
OF other cities OF the Union? Third.
arc the people OF Seattle any worse
than the people OF other cities1
II wo are to take the reports Of
tho daily papers as n criterion. !
would answer these questions in the
negative.
The question thcn arisos. what is
the matter with this nation. and the
entire world. for that natter The
answer IL obvious. II Is the misuse
OF the divine or universal laws. We
cannot break, violate or disobey di-
vine law, but we can misuse them.
and all the crime. poverty and blood
shed are traceable to their misuse,
and each of us who misuses these
laws are directly responsible for this
condition
When our lawmakers national and
state, our ministers OF the gospel
and the press OF our nation learn to
rightly use, and do rightly use, the
divine laws. according to the teach
ing Of Jesus and tho 10 command
ments. we will hear no reports Of
