have passed to the laws which deal
entirely with man’s duty to his fel

killing or to kill, means the unin-

Capital Punishment
There has .been much said for and
against capital punishment or the
taking of life for murder. Lets try
what the scriptures
Fitzgerald. Rev. Pafford', pastor of have to say on the subject. In Ex.
the church and father of the bride, ] 21:12 we read these words, “He that
smiteth a man so that he die, shall
be surely put to death.” In Lev., 24:17
we read these words, “And he that
killeth any man shall surely be put
tc- death.” and in the 21st verse of
this chapter we read these words
“and he that killeth a beast he shall
restore it, but he that killeth a man,
he shall 'be put to death.” Again in
Num. 36:16-18, “And if he smite him
with an instrument of iron, so that
he die, he is a murderer, the mur

“or if he smite him with an hand

death”.
From the foregoing we can easily
see that capital punishment was rec
ommended as a penalty for murder.
It is a fact that one may take human
life and at the same time entirely
blameless, and unavoidable accident
that resulted in a human life being
Bnuffed out, the one who caused the
accident might be wholly innocent of
the killing. However it is our duty to
always be on the alert that we may
not kill or even maim our fellowman.
We are told in Mathew, “Thou shalt
not kill, and whosoever shall kill
shall be in danger of the judgment;
but 1 say unto you that every one
who is angry with his brother shall
be ind danger of the judgment and
whosoever shall say to his brother,
Raca, shall be in danger of the coun
cil.” The word Raca a here used ac
cording to our .best interpretation
means contempt for a fellow being.
Contempt of this kind for' a fellow-
man, is more inhuman than anger. It
is in other words a violent passion
outburst, prompting action and words
that are afterwards bitterly regret
ted. We further read these words,
"and whosoever shall say thou fool
shall be in danger of hell fire. What
is meant here by hell fire ? Nothing
more nor less than death. The word
fool expresses contempt for the heart
and character of the one addressed.
The regular use of such names as
fool, scoundrel, etc., Jesus regards as
the supreme offense against the, law
of humanity.
The Rule About Evil
Against Thy Brother
“If therefore thou art offering thy
gift at the altar, and rememberest
that thy brother hath aught against
thee, leave there thine gift before the
1 altar, and go thy way first be recon-
I cited to thy brother and then come
j and offer thy gift.” These words then
I lead us to know that- we are not to
! agfc any of the good things that God
j has to offer us if we hold malice
against anyone. If we expect good
! things from God we must be at peace
with our fellowman. If
malice in our hearts, by sodoing we
are missing the good things that we
could otherwise come into possession
of. There is not room in a human
heart fr malice and the grace of God
One or the other must vacate. Jesus
set a shining example to us concern
ing the holding of malice against
others. When he was on the cruel
cross he went so far as to ask God’s
blessings upon his tormentors
The
virtue of being able to harbor no
malice in- the heart is the sign of a
Christian. We cannot love .God I and
what he has to give us and hate our
brother. In this connection, who is
our brother? It is anyone whom you
may come in contact with. No, man
can be right with God and wrong
with his fellowman. when we seek
communication with God if there is
any malice in our hearts it will
spring up as a spectre in the dark.
When we bow down to God or 1 con
vene around the Lord’s table, if we
are there to properly perform our
duties, we must be peace with'this
world. If we have a' difference ■ 'with
our brother and make every effort tb
atone for any 'wrong"that we triay
have done him‘and lie 'will riot listen
to us then we can feel’ that we’have
done our part and all blame will be
wth him. When a sinner attempts to
make himself right with .God, mariy
of them are going to be forced to
make amends to their brother for
wrongs done in the past. We have in
our mind a case where the power of
good was uppermost in a young man,
how he went about righting a Wrong.
The incident was as follows: The
young man approached us and halt
ingly told me that he owed me five
cents. I told him that he did not
that 1 knew of and he replied that
at one time in the past he was in my
place, he picked up two lemons and
walked away with them and that he
now wished to pay for them, Now,
this was only a very insignificant
affair, but it showed that this young
man wished to be right with his fel-
lowman
In Luke 12:58-59 we read these
words, “when thou goest with thine
advisary to the magistrate, as thou
art in the way, give diligence that
thou mayest be delivered from him,
lest he hale thee to the judge, and
the judge deliver thee to the officer
and the officer cast thee into prison.
I tell thee thou shalt not depart
thence till thou hast paid the very
last mite.” From this we learn that
if we are called to account for any
thing that we might have committed
against our fellowman we must not
leave till we have fully paid for any
wrong that we might have done
Enmity is hurtful to God, therefore
if we have any enmity in our heart
of any kind, put it away. The one
who has been offended may die and
you may die. If this enmity that .we
have is allowed to continue it may
become worse and worse. If not
stopped it .may come to some disas
trous conclusion. What then is the
result many times of a hateful, re
vengeful spirit? It may avep result
in riturder, and when followed, to this
extreme conclusion- it places us in
the position of destroying of an
image of God. No Christian would be
guilty of murder. The very fact that
he i a Christian would persuade us to
believe in the man as a Christian,
When we harbor malice in our heart
we are destroying the finer fibers of
our spiritual make-up. When we go
too far with it, it may result in the
taking of human life, and/ we have
already discussed thfe 'Mosaic law for
taking of human fife.
Jesus’ Way to Treat Our Enemies
“But I say unto you, /but whomso
ever smiteth thee on the right cheek
turn to him the other also. When we
do this we have fulfilled the law re
garding our conduct. When we have
done this we have shifted any re
sponsibility from our shoulders to
the shoulders of our antagonist. Ill
makng the above statement our Lord
did not intend that we were not to
self defense but when we fulfill this
command the responsibility is with
the other fellow if we thus retaliate.
After all, human fife is the most
sacred thing in all the world, and hu
man life means more than anything
besides. We love, honor and obey God
as our Heavenly Father, but do we
pause to consider that we are made
in his image? That fact alone,
should be sufficient cause for never
destroying a human, fife. That is the
reason we are warned against using
harsh words toward our fello/w.man
for by so doing we might at times
arouse his ire to the extent that he
might t ake human life, that being
done the murderer is in danger of
hell fire, the greatest calamity that
could befall a human. If we are to
keep the home sacred, love, affection
and understanding must dwell to
gether in the family around the
hearthstone. Home is man’s strong
est fort, and we as its inmates
should always keep it ready for ac
tions against the powers that are
loose in the land to ruin homes.
Home should ibe as sacred as any
thing in this world other than human
life. As a general rule happy homes
never turn out a murderer. When
one is broughtup under the-influence
of a Godly home the stamp that is
placed upon him by that home will
shine as a beacon light in the dark
ness of in to beckon weary sinners
to coe to a haven of rest in God’s
love.
