The Broadest Mark In This Day and
Time, is Lawlessness.
From the above subject, Mr.
Chas. Nelson, one of the-pioneers
of this city, a man of rare intel
lectual attainments, and one of
the best informed historians and
logicians, on last Sunday before
the culture club, most eloquently
spoke. The house was crowded,
the speaker began at the earliest
stage of the historic world and
gave an out line, substantiating
his allegation. He dwelt for a
while in pre-historic times, then
came on down the line systemat
ically and semetrically. He
declared that his was a • broad
subject and were he not able to
subst natiate the charge^he would
convicted before the nation, a
slanderer—but he substnatiated
the chage made, and that explic
itly and uncortradictory. He de
clared that law was-handed down
by a divine power and that all
other laws a subservient to and
brances of the divine law; any vi.
olatorof the law of the land, the
law of nature, the law of society
he declared, violates the law of
God. It was masterly handled
and the most ra deal and pesk'r
mistic. in the language of Fred
Duoglass, ‘‘m ly dash themselves
against the net work of his ar
gument, a compact body, with
out breaking the least fibre of its
various parts.*'
