lev questions have been. more
Il important in history Ihbn the
relation of man to law.
Back in the very beginning of
Christianity when the apostles
were admonished by the authorities
to do certain things, their reply
was. 1--WE ought to obey God rather
than men,. In much the same
: spirit John Bunyan at a later day
spent II years in Bedford jail be-
cause his conscience would not per-
nit him to obey the law of the land
which forbade freedom in prayer
and worship.
In Our Own Land
The fact that we are face to face
with serious problems of lawless-
ness and law enforcement in our
own land has led many people,
especially many good Christians,
in recent years to face the whole
question in a way that has OBJ
scured the reality of this principle
= that the law of conscience in its
ultimate expression is above every
other law.
The obvious retort is that if this
is so. what becomes of the state
and of legal authority? If a man
is free to disobserve any law that
he does not like, or any law in
which he does moi believe, what
are going to be the limits of this
disregard of law, and how will any
law retain its power and its sane
tity?
The reply is that when men are
moved by highmindedness, intelh-
gence, and conscience, unless the
laws of the land are almost hope
+, lessly wrong, there would be little
disposition to disobey them. The
great mass of disobedience to law
today is not upon high conscien-
tious ground. 1t is rather upon
the ground of self-indulSence and
personal preference.
The fact of the matter is that
there can be no great Citizenship
where the element of conscience is
neglected or weakened, and where
the vast mass of citizens of a state
, are moved by that conscientious
conviction that would lead them to
disobey a law that they believed
to be morally or spiritually wrong
there will be no danger of the law
and life of that state being
weakened.

through individual men daring, in
behalf of vision and conscience, to
! disregard convention and custom,
religiously and socially, where they
| believe that these things are life
less and wrong. When the state
| passes, as it once did in England,
laws that would make an ordinary
| prayer meeting in a home illegal,
what can good Christians who love
their independence and their re-
| ligious freedom do other than per-
sist In worshiping God according
to the dictates Of their own ON
science?
The principle that a higher law
runs through all OF life is danger
Gus only for those who seek to
pervert a great truth and wrest it
to wrong purposes and results. A
God-fearing nation will be a law
abiding nation because such a ma
ton will have, on the whole, laws
that ought to be observed.
1t is a profound mistake to set
the Lord Jesus, however, upon the
side of mere Journalism and COM
placency. He manifested in His
earthly life the vigor and indie
pendence of the man who rebels
against conventions and customs
that have. lost their vigor through
losing their meaning and their
reality. 1t is life that is the SUI.
preme thing, and law is great and
noble only as it ministers to life.
as 1t enlarges for man and society
the sphere of noble living and the
highest welfare.J :
