Causes.

From every quarter, as recorded in the daily press, comes the news of transgression of law, of criminal acts, many of which are deliberately planned and executed. What is the cause? It lies back of the infraction of civil law; it is irreverence for God; it is disregard of His law; it is lack of conscience which has God's law for its standard. Who are responsible? Whose duty is it to proclaim God's truth, to show the holiness of His law, His awful hatred of sin, the sure work of the judgment, and the only Saviour who saves from sin and sinning? Men do not hear the law, because it is not preached. Men do not preach it, because it condemns. O, if men but knew it in its beauty as revealed in Christ!
