JACKSON PROGRESS-ARCUS
REV. T. J. WEBB DISCUSSES
DIFFERENT KIND OF RULERS
The God of Israel said, he that
ruleth over men must be just, ruling
in the fears of God. 2 Samuel 23-24.
Kaiser Is a Ruler
(1) A ruler ought to be a man
of absolute sincerity. Or the ruler of
the universe, it is said that it is im
possible that he should lie. If truth,
said king John of France, were to
be banished from the world it ought
still to find a residence in the breast
of the Princes
Truth is the basis on which rest all
the national and moral interests of
intelligent beings; that neither vir
tue or happiness can exist withoupt it
and that falsehoods that generally
diffuses would win net only a king
dom or a world, but the universe,
wounld change all rational beings
into friends and connect heaven it
self into a hell.
There are two kinds of govern
ment, that of force and that of per
suasion. A government of the people
is the only moral or free government.
A government of persuasion subsists
only in the mutual confidence of the
ruler and the subjects, but where
truth is not confidence. A deceitful
ruler is never believed for a moment.
Even fools know that upright and be
nevolent measures not only need sup
port from falsehoods but are ruined
by it.
A lying ruler, if his government is
to continue, makes force or despot
ism indispensible to his administra
ton.
Besides lying is the most contem
ptible of all sins, ye are of your fath
er, the Savior, said the devil to the
Jews, for he was a liar from the be
ginning and the father of it.
If a ruler hearken to lies, said Sol
omon, all of his servants are wicked.
Such a ruler will be served by none
but proflligate men. The evils of his
government will therefore spread by
means of his subordinate officers into
every nook and corner of the land.
Like the Sirman of Nubia he spreads
poison, death and desolation over the
wretched countries subject to his
sway.
(2) A ruler is bound to be a just
man. He that ruleth over men, saith
God, must be just. He that speaketh
the truth, saith Solomon, sheweth
forth righteousness . This attitude
demands in the first place of the leg
islators that he enact just laws. Laws
are the rules by which rulers them
selves as well as the people at large
are or ought to be governed.
Secondly, this attitude demands of
the judge that all his interpretations
of laws and all of his decisions
founded on it, be just. Woe unto
them, saith Isaiah, who justify the
wicked for a rewardand take away
the righteousness from him. Ye shall
do no unrighteousness in judgment,
saith God to Israel. Thou shalt not
respect the person of the poor, nor
honor the person of the mighty, but
in. righteousness shalt thou judge my
neighbor. It is not, says Solomon, to
have respect of persons in judgment.
Tribunals of justice, being laws to
every man’s fireside and apply them
directly to his property, liberty, per
son and life.
How just and reasonable laws may
be a wicked tribunal, may present all
their good effects and render a coun
try as miserable by its decisions as it
could by the operatin of original tyr
anny in the legislator.
Whe God established the govern
ment of Israel He himself formed the
constitution and enacted the laws

just operaion of those laws. They
were oppressed at times as intensely
as the nations who are now under

pepsin” Ends Your Stom
ach Distress. Try it!
Wonder what upset your stomach—
which portion of the food did the
damage—do you? Well, dont bother.
If your stomach is in a revolt; if sick,
gassy and upset, and what you just
ate has fermented and turned sour;
head dizzy and aches; belch gases and
acids and eructate undigested food;
breath foul, tongue coated—just take
a little Pape’s Diapepsin to help neu
tralize acidity and in five minutes
you wonder what became of the indi
gestion and distress.
Millions of men and women today
know that it is needless to have dys
pepsia. A little Diapepsin occasionally
keeps the stomach sweetened and
they eat their favorite foods without
fear.

of your liberal limit without rebel
lion; if your food is a damage instead
of a help, remember the quickest,
surest, most harmless relief is Pape’s

It’s truly wonderful —it stops fermen
tation and acidity and sets things
