Rioting

By Editor

"Rioting."—The noted writer, Ambrose Bierce, has the following to say in the Sunday Examiner: "Rioting in America, rioting in France, rioting in Belgium, rioting in Holland, rioting in China. Is no government strong enough to get the fundamental advantages of government—public order and security of life and property? Can none protect law-abiding persons from savage mobs?" It seems not. What a sinister commentary this is on so-called "Christian" civilization! But no Christian will engage in mob procedure. Whatever wrong may be inflicted, he will trust the words, "Vengeance is Mine; I will repay, saith the Lord."
