RELIGIOUS Social and Spiritunl Philosophy of the Moral Law. Pilgrimage to the Shrine of 8t. Anne Du Nord, A Plcce of the Saint’s Wrist-Tone~The Seckers for Relief Two Historic Boston Churches. Moody and Sankey's Closing Meclings in Brooklyn. THE MORAL LAW, TS SOCIAL AND SPIRITCAL PHILOSOPRT. The divinion of tho moral Iaw iuto two parts Is indicated by tho two tables on which it way writ- ten, Tho firat tablo treata of man's rolation {o God, The second tablo treats of man's rolation to his follow-man. Theso two fuudamentat| riu- ciples thus codifieil In the moral Iaw covor tho ground of moral obligations. ‘fho wniverral tnoral aense of man acknowledges their fitnosy and authority in all their epeaifications. All Christeadam refors to them as an lufaliible rule of action. Tley aro taught in all pulpits, Acloser auniyeis of the moral law unfolds moro clearly its trua philosophy. Each tabls of the law has two forme of the law clontly marked, a8 may bo socn in tho terms used in cxpressing them, Theao may bo woll exprezsed by the torma afliruative and probibitory, In the fivet tablo of the law one ounly aflirms a duty, that requires both resolution aud action. This is the fourth item of that formuls, “Nemember tho Sabbath day to keep it holy." Tho other threa aro prohibitory, torbidding certain actions, as, ** Thou shalt bave no othor gods before Me," “Thou shalt not make unto thee auy graven image,” **Thou shalt not bow doswyn thyself to theun nor revere thom," * Thou shait not take ths name of the Lord thy God fa vain.” Tho eecond table of the law har the eamo character, Tho firia item of that tavle atfirms ** Honor thy futher sud mother.,” Tho others forbid actton & “*Thou rhals not Jal,” ¢Thou whalt not commut adul- terv," *+ Thon shalt not ateal,” “Thou shalt not bear fules wituers," * Thou shalt not covet. There Is, then, this cleaily marked difference in the character of the itewns makivg up thoe code of tho ten commandments. Ono ovlyin cach tavle aftirma a orinciplo that roquires action, All tho rest forbida cortain clarn of actiong, The uuthority requiring action in tho ono case and forbldding action in the other cancs is tho kame. Obedience by nction or non-action has the same mioral charactor, and requires the ramo amount and kind of ragard to tho law-giver. Obedionce, by action, fo the afirmative pre- eept, contemplates & remutt to bo wecured that bas s lrmln‘(lu of good in . Obedienco by non- action to the probibitory precopt, only leaves oue innacent, and contamplates vothing beyond that. T'wo things are lCl}I)irPll. elght thiugs are forbidden, While the obligation 1% the samo in eithor caso, tho aflirmative has a higher charac- ter than {be prohibitory, a8 thio porformance of & good thing {8 better than refraining from a wrong thiog. From thia nnalysis of the law weare led to ln:lulru Why do wo have there two_forms of luwy codified togother, with ouly ono alilrmative pro- cept on each tablo? An “explanation may be found in the fact that tho aflirmative procepts hed thoir origin with mau's origin, whilo Le was {nnocent, befors siu Lud corrupted him, The probibiting precopts had their origin in tho ne. ceegity to restisin mun afier he had become a sianer. Beforothishonevdod nosuch restrictious, ‘Tuoso two attirmative procepts met the wpiritnal aod socinl nocousitios of wen, Boyoud thesa Lie noeded no law. God mado man in Iis owvn imago. and after His own likeness, Ho gavoe him dominion over all ereated things. God breathed into his tios- trila tho breath of lifo, and man became b living. soul, this condition man became a com- panion” with God, The image of God, the breath of God, snd the dominion over God's works, gave him thin union with God. Whon God had completed His work Ho rested. It all snited Him, o contemplated It with ploasure, ‘This was His rest. God'a last work was to make man with the ‘Vroncr endow- monts for ruler uuder Mimself of all of God's parthly interesta. Aftor God had rested, le blesred the day of Him rest. After his own exampls Ho gave man six daya for iabor, and tho soventh doy for rest, conforming with exacte ness in time nand order with His own labor and rest, and in kind like God's rest. This 8 not rost from fatigue, but 8 soul rost, or n ecason of cessation from earth cares aud con- verse with God. Tho Sabbath, then, in its va- turs was the law of man's spiritus! uature, ea- sontial for his ligher communion with Gad, whilo it should stand as a perpotusl memorial that God mado all things in six dsys and rested oo the soventh. Noother law than this was needed in the beginuing as a guide to mau's spiritual nature. When the first man entored upon the condition assigned bim, and looked over and named all smimal life, ho found no companion for him- soit. God thon made lum a companion, bone of bis bono, and flesh of hin flesh. This com- pauion of man waa brought to Lim, nod thoy wero joined in one; aud the lawof man's sociel Dature was given, consisting of thie martiage or fumily relation, _This becama tho law of man's rocial uature. Notluog more than this was needed. Wo have thus found tho two afiirmative pre- cepts of the moral law in tho Inwa given ot the creation to govern man in bis epiritual and social natures. ‘Lho law of man’s upiritual life is very specitic, whon embracea in the moral codo, in thiat it fofern back to the davs of creation, sud tho day of rest, the six dava' labor, and tho wov- cnth day's rout, Ileroin hies tho philosopuy of tho law. God had so tabored, and o rested, and then bleesod the day of Hiu rost: there- 1ore He blessed aud wanctified tho day of iy rost. This rost-day was made for man as taught by Jesus Christ, who claimed to be its Lord, 1t was the law of iis upintual lifo, Bo, also, js the Jaw of man's soclal nature made very aacrod in the moral code, in the oxprassion, * that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God givoth thec,” nu if they wers unworthy of long life who dishonored tho source of that Iife, the tather and mother, the hesd of the family, ‘These two affirmative precepts have a bigher sacredness in thew when Lho fuct is keon that both of them bave their urigin in a divine ro- gard for the sources of life. ‘Kle law that colls for the spiritual rost of the Babbath lind refor- enco to God a4 the sourco of tho higner hta Ifo ave t0 mun. Tholaw that requires honor to ather and mother has reforence to thom as the sourco uf tho earth lite, Tho rest, then, of the Sabbath and the houor to parents having their origin in the sources of life, are assacrod as thoso sources of life. A departure therefrom 1a s dishonoriug of tha sources of lifo, brging only evil in their course. Those primary laws of life ara inwrought into Life itself. ‘I'he Babbath law is wotten by God's spirit 1n tho Christi hoart ns indelibly as it wea once written by God's hand on the rock, The family law is written 1n man's soclal uaturo just as cleatly. Both are the laws of lifo, and referto tho sources of life. While Uod ia tod, sud man is man, these laws of man's lifo must remain with their original character and suthori- ty, and minister to man's higheet good. From thelr fuudumental charactor, they ara not subject to modiBeation without dishonor to the relations o which they originated, and damago to those who do the wodifying. No woditication of tho law of wan's social Iifo cau miest tho hecassition and character of that life. No wmodi- fication of tho law of man's #piritual lifo can moot the couditions of that lifo, A couformity to the Vhilosopby of life, in its primary laws, {s mora in barmouy with that life than any woditications that can bo made, lumanity will take on jia highest type wheu it 1s truest to the lawa of its beiog, J.
