Two Sides to the Question
Somewhere in the bible is written this
threat, to-wit: "God will send the peo
ple strong delusions that they may be
lieve a lie, etc.'' As I see it, this means
that reason will be perverted and that
chaos and old night will reign again.
This being true, does it not become us to
"watch and be sober? .The first consider
ation is that all law, divine or human,
must, be obeyed. Divine law is perfect;
human law is not. Must we obey an un
just <>r oppressive law? Yes, lest those
in authority be held in contempt, and it
would naturally follow that all law would
be so regarded and the weak become a
prey to the strong. It is not niy purpose
to write of laws under which we live, but
that part of divine law usually called
natural law, nnd will still further restrict
myself to that part of it known as moral
law, and it being of divine origin Is of
higher order than the other two kinds
referred to and which are written in bonks,
but the moral law ft written in in the
hearts and minds of munkind by the Great
Creator and the golden rule directs its
application. The state executes its laws
through officers chosen for this purpose, |
but as to the moral law each individual |
is his or her own executive. Much of!
the old Jewish law was founded upon re
venge, and I thought we had traveled
away from it. I find this writer is ca
pable of making mistakes but he hopes
he will not become an expert in that
direction. Is there a penalty for the
violation of the moral law? Yes;
morse, and when this Is followed by re
pentance reparation is possible. When
conscience is deadened by repented viola
tions of the moral law Its victim is ready ,
for any deviltry that suggests itself.
Does this assertion need proof? If so,
just recall the history of the central pow- J
ers in the late war; think of Belgium and :
Northern France! The marauders cannot J
even plead "lex talionis" (the law of re- J
taliation); no harm had been done them. ^
Now this law is based upon revenge which
is an ignoble passion and reacts upon
those who apply It. Ought the peace con
ference to invoke this law that depends
upon whether the friendship or enmity
of our late enemies 13 wanted, also,
whether we wish to be like them or wot? I
Surely there are enough righteous people j
in Sodom to save it from distruction. |
Now, Mr. Blank, suppose an enemy had ■
you down and wholly in his power ohd ,
Instead of killing or robbing you, helped ]
you on your feet and bade you Godspeed,
would you want to despoil him? Solomon
said, "answer not a fool according to his
folly lest you be like him." In a crude
way I have tried to sot forth tho moral
side of the peace question. Now let us
take a sordid view. If the central powers
are emasculated to helplessness, how ace
they to pay an idemnity, and Ivhat reason
would there be for a league of nations,
The incentive .would be gone. A common
danger is necessary to keep intact the
league and if this is wanting the door is
opened to strife among its members.
There are already weatherings that
prosage a otorm. Reconstruction of the
ruined nations is an appalling task and
the help of our late too ia noeded. With
each one "sulking in Lis tent" and dream
ing of revenge their help would neither
be hearty or efficient. President Wiloon's
altruism is lofty, but I cm afraid the
world is not ready for it. Democracy
means government by tho people, and the
president's ploa that the world be made
safe for It should be hdld In abeyance
until democracy is made safe for the
world.
