Church, 9th and p streets.
The greatest issue before the
churches and the friends OF law en-
forcement in Maryland is the enact
rnent of a Law enforcement code. All
but two states have responded 70
their duty under the federal Consti-
tuition. The, only way that law can
he enforced in Maryland is to secure
an enforceable law and honest otfi-
cials to enforce it.
Base of Christian Civilization.
Christian civilization is based upon
the theory that law must be enforced
through the regularly constituted
authorities. That is what Paul meant
when he said that the powers that
he are ordained of God Sometimes
