indignant with US as long 8 we lived and
the laws of the next world would not Sc
cure us favorably knowing we had done
our darndest to destroy them. Should we
not therefore be persuaded by what the
laws advise us rather than by the coun-
selors who strive to corrupt them?
1t is not a case of "Let your conscience
be your guide;" this is something which
most of us shouldn't trust to that peculiar
faculty we possess. For some of US, it is
too much of free agent-elastic, as it
were, but Philosophy teaches us we have
reasoning faculty and we must believe
it as hard, as it may be and Strive to
use of the other fellows argument just be-
cause it is easily assimilated The human
body and mind is complex device, a
machine. capable of performing operations
seen and unseen and in the latter case it is
interesting to ascertain what it can do We
should occasionally start the works a-going
and get out from behind the wheel and
look it over, see what it's doing and drop
little oil here and there where the parts
are rusty and every so often overhaul it
and clean out the carbon. ~
The stand taken, regarding laws, in
this discussion is by no means new. Socra-
tes, the Greek philosopher took it when un-
der sentence he was given the opportunity
by his friends to escape from Athens to a
his friends to escape from Athens to a
neighboring province. He chose to remain
and see the sentence carried out rather
than go against his convictions. He was
what most of us would term "a game guy"

REGARDING LAWS

our discussion may be based on something
we all know and understand, let us 20 to
Philosophy before the time of Christ and
choose for its exponent, one Plato, as our
basis of argument.
If we are to be just to ourselves and
others we must appreciate the fact that it
behooves US always to do good and that to
return evil for evil or evil for good, tends,
to reflect upon ourselves in such a man
ner as to cause us to appear unjust In
order to justify ourselves we must be wise
therefore just and good. 1t is my con-
tention we are not unjustly treated by the
Laws but by men and in ranting against
the Laws we are in error.
Consider the laws pertaining to mar
riage; we will admit they are fair, just

HIS petition will be full
" filled, if earnestly presented
in the name of our Redeemer;
and surely the object of the
petition is unspeakably impor-
tant. Blessed are the pure in

Matt 5:8.) In regard to
justification, this is completed
by Christ's obedience unto
death; but in regard to santif-
cation, our hearts, though the
subjects of it, are, in their best
state, such that we have con-
tinual need to pray, Create in

from all my sins! Amen.

Washington, Aug. 4.-President
Coolidge today issued the follow
ing proclamation:
'By the President of the United
States of America, proclamation.
"To the people of the United
States:
"In the inscrutable wisdom of
Divine Providence, Warren Gam

has lost a wise and enlightened
statesman and the American peo-
pie true friend and counsellor

the best interests of the United
States and the welfare of all its
citizens. His private life was
marked by gentleness and brother
ly sympathy, and by the charm of
his personality he made friends of
all who came in contact with him.
"It is meet that the deep grief
which fills the hearts of the Amer
ican people should find fitting ex-
preston.
"Now, therefore, I, Calvin
Coolidge, President of the United
States Of America, do appoint Fri
day, next, August 10, the day on
which the body of the dead Presi-
dent will be laid in it's last earthly
resting place, as a day of mourn
ing and prayer throughout the
United States. l earnestly recon-
mend the people to assemble on
that day in their respective places
of divine worship, there to bow
down in submission to the will of
Almighty God, and to pay out of
full heart the homage and love
and reverence to the memory of
the great and good President,
whose death has so sorely smitten
the nation.
"In witness have hereunto set
my hand and caused the seal of
the United States to be affixed.
Done at the City of Washing
ton, the fourth day of August, in
the year of our Lord, 1923, and
of the independence of the United
States 14S.
"By the President.
