judgment, and so make them independent of the big interests, but it won't do Henry. You've got to go back to the basic trouble which is not salary. If your engine is missing: fix your engine, don't waste time playing with the horn (or mouthpiece), it won't get the flivver running. No Judge, I care not how able he is, can assure anyone Justice under the present system or lack of system of man-made law, "so scrap the lot," its the only remedy that will bring results, and take on those unchangeable eternal laws laid down for us, applicable both on earth and in Heaven, which can no more be changed than can the immutable laws of nature laid down by the same author.

What has it cost America for not taking on and obeying these immutable laws? Well I am certain that it is many billions of dollars each and every year that you are giving the go-by.

The principles of right action, as Mr. Goard points out are few: "They are all included in the Constitution, they cannot be changed, added to, or repealed: they are each one illustratively applied in the Constitution; thereforo, the Constitution is perfect in our age and is capable of full application under our complex life."

Constitutional legislation belongs to God only and whenever a man or nation claims the right to make laws, whether autocratic or demo

cratic, he or it is trespassing upon the divine prerogative, for God has not trusted men or nations to make laws for the government of their fellows."'*

Now you wise men of all our governments who are turning out the everlasting grist of Omrimade laws by the seventy-nine thousand per annum in one nation, which no one knows about, which not one in a hundred thousand would urderstand if they knew of them, and which no one obeys. Suppose you take a day off and study those simple laws laid down in the 50 pages of our Bible for we-us-and-company the AngloSaxon-Celtic nations and all others who will take them on.

If my friend Samuel Gompers and the American Federation of Labor, which he has guided so ably these many years, would put a little time in on this subject they would get the sure remedy for all poverty, for all sickness, for all discase, that now bears so hard on millions of the working people in America: because most of us work on this continent.

How many hundreds of millions of dollars do you spend in county, state and federal hospitals for the sick, for the blind, for the insane, etc., every year in the century? And how many billion of dollars have been permanently invested in the

buildings for these necessary [at present] public institutions?

What does it cost America, in hundreds of millions per annum for cattle diseases, for hog fever, for tubercular cattle, for ticks, for the boll weevil, for wheat rust, for the corn borer and the hundreds of other blights and things that afflict this present generation?

WHAT IS AFFLICTING AMERICA?

Listen you cool-headed business man and you more hot-headed leaders of labor and you chaps now being ground between the upper millstone of Capitalism and the lower millstone of Autocratic Unionized Labor.

The cure for all your ills has been awaiting your acceptance three thousand years-but ye would not. Look up Deut. 7: "Thou [Israel] shall therefore keep the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments which I command you this day to do them." Verse 15: "And the Lord will take from thee all sickness. . . . and will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt upon thee."

Then see, in chapter 28, the benefits that would accrue if we kept these laws and statutes and the troubles that would afflict us if we did not

keep them. Verse 1: "And it shall come to pass if thou shall harken diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy God to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day that the Lord thy God will see thee on high above all the nations of the earth."

Then are shewn all the blessings due lawkeeping Israel.

Well! We have not kept them but have been running along since Omri's time under man-made laws of several million sorts. No one knows how many! and one is entitled to ask if we have received the punishments promised and due us for our neglect along this line.

In verses 16-22 some of the curses or disabilities under which we shall labor are specified and it is due us to look into them and see if we are afflicted by them in America and Anglo-Saxondom, at this time; because, if we are, the remedy is so simple that the nation, were it so minded, could correct all sickness, all disease, both of man and beast; all influenza, all consumption and all poverty through-out the land in very short order.

In verse 22: "The Lord shall smite thee with a consumption, and with a fever, and with an inflamation, and with an extreme burning, and with the sword, and with blasting, and with a mildew; and they (or these) shall pursue thee until thou perish,"

Well gentlemen there they are! Consumption at the head of the list, the white man's plague. Have we got it? and got it bad? "With a fever.” Hay fever claims its victims by the million and our cities and farms are afflicted with scarlet, typhoid and other fevers like smallpox, diphtheria, etc. Over 50 per cent. of our population is afflicted with catarrah of various kinds, and so on down the line.

These and other diseases are pursuing us until we perish by the hundreds of thousands. Take the "Flue" alone, it killed more people than the Great War. As foretold, we have acquired all the penalties mentioned by Moses fourteen hundred and fifty years before Christ.

"It is well to note that these physical troubles are not associated with the system of worship but with the system of government, and also that the punishments are physical and not spiritual," and it would seem possible for the nation to accept the divine challenge and obtain freedom from all its physical ills.

To-day the whole world is upset by reason of the war debts and the dislocation of trade, and the consequences-exchange troubles. Well, Mr. Business Man, that was provided for in our statute on credits in Deut., chapter 51,
