There is an unwritten law, with which we are all familiar that makes our welfare and happiness in this world, depend as much upon the doing of certain things as abstaining from the performance of certain other things. This law makes it as obligatory for us to be faithful in the discharge of certain duties as to avoid other acts which we know to be trangressions of the law. This is well understood by all. Every child knows that if it would avoid suffering from hunger it must partake of sufficient wholesome food to satisfy it.
These are mortal mind laws, but similar laws hold good in the spiritual realm. And yet, even though this truth is so generally accepted, there is perhaps no sin that is more common than the sin of omission. Men study well the "Thou shalt nots," but the "Thou shalts" do not seem to make as much impression upon them.
They are evidently not considered as important.
