For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath mads me free from the law of sin and death. — Paul.
THE question that confronts the world to-day is much the same as that which confronted it in Jesus' time, and in fact since the first page of human history was indited. It is simply a question of whom we will serve as God, and what we will acknowledge and obey as law. Moreover, the conditions before us to-day, in making our choice, are very much the same as those uncovered by the Master in his answer to the question of the rich young man as to how he might find the life that is eternal: "Go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, . . . and come and follow me." We cannot surrender fully to the harmonious government of divine law so long as we cling to the material hypotheses and human reasonings which mortals name law.
The first command of God to man and the universe is revealed in the spiritual genesis of creation, and all later revelations of truth have but elaborated upon this great basis of divine law governing the universe and holding man forever perfect in the image of God. "And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: . . . And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion."
