The Lawless Spirit

The frequent and shocking outbreaks of the spirit of lawlessness which have been so much in evidence of late, are causing some serious reflections, even on the part of those who are trying to believe that there is a general tendency toward better things. Commenting upon some recent occurrences of this character, the Outlook well says:—
The whole of the United States has no subtler foe than this lawless spirit, and it has no greater lesson to learn than that of respect for law.
The only permanent foundation for respect for human law is due regard for the divine law. That teaching which asserts freedom from the claims of the divine law is responsible in large degree for the lack of regard for human law.
