Mosaic Law. In a general way, it may he said that the merit of tile laws of .Muses is attested by the fact that under them the Jewish nation lived and prospered lor many centuries, and' that they are today accepted Ly the1 Jewish people as authoritative, says David .!? Brewer, Associated Justice of the Supreme Court of the Hulled Stules, lu the Sunday-School Times. Surely a hotly or laws which holds a: people of their intellectual capacity,) and with such power of race pie oi ration as distingulshcra the Jews, must possess great wealth, a temple whoso magnificence was tfie object of the world's admiration, a civilisa? tion and personal culture attracting the attention of all. This was follow? ed by t'ae destruction of the nation, a dispersion of the people. For cen? turies wanderer^, objects of persecu? tion, under the bail of popular preju? dice, and only of late slowly rising into power through individual action, yet over maintaining, without a break, their separate racial life. During nil these changes of national life, these yarlod forms of individual experience, the laws of Moses have ever been ac? cepted as authoritative, their lawyers simply interpreters of these laws, and their law hooks but commentaries on them. In view of these outside his? toric facts, ami without any examina? tion of (he laws themselves, we should be justified hi ascribing to them a niarvcl?tis vitality and power, niuT to their author the highest place as a Inw-glvcr. ? ? ? ' Many of tin- laws of Moses have passed into and .become a pan of modern legislation. His contribution to present law is not limited to the Decalogue. Much of our common law can be traced hack to some provision or provisions of the Mosaic cede. He not only legislated for the Jews, Du I, In no Inconsiderable degree. for the world, ami the civilization of today stands Indebted to him for many of Its laws. Grand Circuit Races.
