LAW AN EDUCATOR.

By Vermont Witness

King David said, "The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul." When it was given, human tastes were not consulted to ascertain how good a law the people would bear. There was no delay to educate or improve the public sentiment, but the law was made just what it should be,—an inflexible standard of right, and the best means of educating public sentiment. That law has never been amended or repealed, and never will be; for it is founded on eternal right. It remains as a standard to instruct the world in righteousness, and to raise humanity to a higher life, instead of being let down to accommodate itself to the condition of society. If the people are not right, the law should be right as a means of making them so.—Vermont Witness.
