Obedience to the Law

to the outworking of higher law.
It is as certain as the universe itself
that certain effects follow certain
causes. Only in a spiritual survey
of life we must learn to take into
account all the causes as well as all
the effects.
The course Of Israel's life and in
fact one might say the course of the
life of every people, constitutes a
warning. Ways Of evil end in death
and ways Of righteousness end In
life. There is a way that seemeth
to be good but the end thereof is
destruction" and on the other hand,

ing light that shineth more and
more unto the-perfect day." )
.ssGod leads, men and blesses them
through affection. Many man has
learned in time that what seemed
great misfortune has really proved
great blessing.
We must remember the divine
uses Of trouble and adversely. But
remembering the deeper aspects and
lessons of Providence we may well
stress the great fact of our lesson
as well-that good courses of life
bring good results and that evil
courses bring evil. Verify say
unto you" said Jesus, they have
their reward"

This lesson is one from which we
are apt to derive very much the
wrong teaching -trnfess we consider
1t in the light of the whole teach
ing of the Bible and especially in
the light of deeper and truer.~con.
ceptions of Gods Providence that
were developed by the later prophets
of Israel and that found their Gull
mination in the life and teaching Of
Jesus himself.
Do people prosper in life and have
an easy time, freedom from i'll
health, accident and misfortune ac-
cording as they do right or do
wrong2 Much in this lesson
would seem to suggest that they
do, and broadly speaking 1t is true
that evil courses produce evil
consequences. and that good living
produces good consequences.
Spiritual Values
When we come, however. to look
at all deeply into life. and with any
sense of spiritual values, we very
quickly discover that there is no
such crude material relationship be
tween prosperity and goodness on
the one hand and misfortune and
evil on the other. 1t was in fact this
very problem that the sacred writer
struggled with in the book Of job
the problem of man-consciously
striving to serve God, who was
afflicted with every manner Of mis-
fortune.
The long line of martyrs in the
history of the church, the sufferings
that people have endured for cor
science sake in prisons, the great
privations and hardships they have
undergone rather than do wrong

Teddy Buck gave a quick. glad

he said, "for here comes Mott now"
The detective came in and was
politely greeted He sensed a slight
antaeonism, but at did not battle
him. for he was more or less accus-

pendently. We hope there will be
no friction or discord, but that, Mr.
Mott, is UP to you"
Tod's voice, though quiet, had a
serious ring, and Mott hesitated a
moment before he, replied:
"You are putting 1t badly, Mr.
Buck, and I'm not sure I can an

"Of course mot" said Truitt, him

must agree that whoever killed yrs

Mott looked little uncertain.
For, it seems to me- that by M
stretch of the imagination, can we
conceive of some one else thus treat

dead"
,"It amt likely. said Mott, speak

natural assumption hadn't occurred
to him.
eThen. as we have proved that tbs

Tod Buck looked at the girl IN
amazement.N What had come over
Bunny to change so suddenly from
nervous. hysterical state to this
calm. poised attitude.
Then, he remembered she'd had
nearly an hour alone with Truitt,
and he rightly concluded that Steve
had coached her.
Mott. too, was disturbed at Bun
ny's demeanor. He had meant to
browbeat her. to Brighten her, to
put her through a mild third degree.
but he had meant to fasten the crime
on her, or get from her some direct
evidence against another.
