The Spirit of Christ, Not Civil Law

If men but knew Jesus Christ, they would not be troubled about the necessity of law for this and law for that. There would never be a demand for a Sunday law. There would never be an English law to guide or guard in the ritual of the English church. There would be a power in the lives of His followers which would restrain evil without law, and compel respect for God and religion without statutory enactment. The church of Jesus Christ does not need more civil law, but more of the Spirit of Christ.
