Physical laws are of great impor tance, but ot even deeper siffoifl- cance arc the moral ai^ spiritual laws vdiich control the human life. There is in the world a moral law ^ distinction between right and irrongr-whicb man may ignore only to his own sorrow, and which he can* not abrogate or destroy. All laws of men which are true and right are founded on this underliring mor* al law, and they are in reality sim ply a development and interpreta tion of **God’8 Code of Morals”»the Ten Commandments. . niese fundamental laws were giv en to Israel at Mount Sinai, but ^ey speak to us with remarkable fresh ness and directness. They merit more extensive study than we can give them in this limited space, but we can note their lm>ad outlines and certain practical applications. There are two divisiont—one concerns man in his relation to God, and the other in his rdation to men. We have: L A RIgM VIeif ef GoA (w. Ml). The first and most important quoe- tion to be ad»d regarding ax^ law is, ‘*By whom sras it establiAsdt'.' Legislation by an unauthorized per son or organization has no power over others. Who gave the Ten Commandments? Verse 1 tidls **Ood Speke all these words.** Men may sneer at theology as be ing outnuktod, but the fact is t^ Christian doctrine is the onlb^ safe foundation for Christian character. 1. Whom to Worship (w. S-5). There can be but one true God, and He alone is to be worshiped. Be is a personal being, ready to enter into communkm wito each one of us. No image or likeness can take His place. Bowing down before idols/ no matter ediat they may be called, is expressly forbidden by God. 1 How to Worship (w. 6, 7). We are to love Him and to keep ^ com mandments. There is to be no sham about this, for no matter how sweet and pious may be the praise and prayer of man, he has taken the Lord’s name in vain unless he keepe the Lord’s commandments by hc^ living. 3. When to Worship (w. Ml). God has ordained that man, should not incessantly bear the burden of toil. He is to have a day of rest and a time for worship, undisturbed by the duties and responsibilities of daily labor. America needs a mighty stirring up about the desecratkm of the Lord’s day. The stalwarts of the last generation fought a valiant bat tle against a rising tide of secular ism and worldly pleasure. Now no one seems to care. Do you? **Six days Shalt thou labor.** Give God one day out of seven. A Bight View ef (w. 11- To be right with God means that we will also be right with our toQow- man. Conversely, the man uho is ma^sIStly wrong in hig rela tion to his fellowman is either not right with God at aU, or he is not living out his Christian life hi prac tice. This should show in: 1. Family Life (v. 12). The fifth conunandment has to do with the relation between chfld and parent. There is a plain and direct con»- mand that father and mother should be honored, i Only in respect and obedience to parents cat the child possibly find true and pn^er deyel- opment. Parents who Iwee parmittad diO- dren to go asti^ during the war ^ars will need to stress anew the God-required obadftttce to tiiatr a» .thority. X Physieal Uto (w. U, 14).
