Show GODS LAW VERSUS MANMADE MAN MADE TADE LAW having given expression to our opinion concerning national defense and in ye regard ard to the burke wadsworth bill it is also well to consider the analysis we present on the opposite page which outlines a series of events that have transpired in foreign countries since last september the map and chart may be of interest to our readers who are following the war news and the military and naval facts and figures truly indicate that america is is unprepared to enter into conflict with other nations now on the other hand we are told throughout the scriptures that we as nations must suffer for our iniquities that there are debts to be paid because of them ang and that as we sow so shall we reap we also know that god has promised the israel nations that their punishment will cease when they forsake their evil ways and turn to him repentant and willing to obey his law today tany many advanced souls are awake to the need to make more definite study of gods law and to practice it rather than to yield to the powerful leaders who think only on man made law and who practice it to their own profit above all else while we must face facts as they are presented in regard to our for war think what it would mean if the same amount of effort and preparation was made to accept and to practice gods law and the teaching of jesus the christ think what it would mean to god to have millions of people serve and the many billions of dollars now bein being spent for anticipated defense protection used to promote that teaching and to practice it in all fullness thereof and above all what it would mean to us who have disobeyed his law to devote our time and energy and wealth if we have anything to give to his service now by the same token let us face the truth as it is written in all biblical records throughout the ages and which plainly states that until we will have reverence for and love god and love our neighbor as we dare not hope normay nor may we ask for that promised protection and the peace to follow when wars are no more and an d when the great brotherhood of man will be established to replace the dissension and the sordidness of living in practice today if f only our president would pass such laws as would give support to those who are in accord with these ideas and high ideals and to such leaders who are trying to promote goodwill good will and brotherly love we know that god would then take a hand to dissolve the present dangers which threaten us and which are becoming more pronounced with each passing day Arai america rica is not without her burden of guilt and responsibility lity for the conditions which now exist in the world and unless her leaders will revise their laws the people I 1 themselves will soon take a hand we believe there are millions of people who would rather work under the christ banner than to shoulder arms or prepare for any such defense measures as are outlined in the burke wadsworth bill or through any other demand which would enlist men of any age for military service with jesus christ as the captain of our ship and at the head of an army of workers coworkers co in his name and service we would have nothing to fear on land or sea and while such talk may seem as idle chatter to some and impossible to consider now we know that in the end we can only hope to win through submission to gods law and the practice thereof let those who think otherwise take issue with us although in the end they will learn that we are speak ing truth the man who foolishly does me wrong I 1 will vill return to him the protection of my most ungrudging love and the more evil comes from him the more good shall go from me author unknown there are two freedoms the false where one is free to do what he likes and the true where he is free to do what he ought charles kingsley |
