ADDRESS ON V AR
BY ALEXANDER CAMPBELL
Delivered at Wheeling, \ a., in 1848
Printed in Serial Form on Request of Subscribers
NUMBER 4.
But I will be told that this form
of the questio ndoes not meet the
exact state of the case as now im~
pinging the conscience of very
many good men. While they will
with an emphatic no negative the
question as thus stated, they will
in another form propound their
peculiar difficulty:
“Suppose,’* say they, “England
proclaims war against onr Nation,
or that our Nation proclaims war
against England. Have we a right,
as Christian men. to volunteer, or
enlist, or, if drafted, to fight
aganist' England? Ought our mot
to to be, ‘Our country, right or
THE CCV INGTCN NE V/ S
wrong’? Or has our Government a
right to compel us to take up
arm - ?”
This form of the question makes
it important that we should have
as clear and definite conceptions
of the word “right” as of any oth
er word in the question bclnre us.
We must, then, have a little more
definition, For the doctrine of
right and wrong, so frequently
spoken of by elementary political
writers, I cannot say that I enter
tain a very high regard. Men
without religious faith, being with
out an infallible guide, are pecul
iarly fond of abstractions. Led by
imagination more than by reason,
authority, or experience, they
pride themselves in striking out
for themselves and others a new
path, rather than tp walk in the
old and long-frequented ways
They have a theory of man in so
ciety with political rights, and of
man out of society with natural
rights; but as they cannot agree
as to the word “natural” prefixed
to “right”—whether nature be a
divinity or the cause of things—I
will not now debate with them the
question of natural rights, but will
take the surer and well-estab
lished ground of a divine warrant,
or a right founded on a divine an
nunciation.
Much, in all cases of any im
portance, depends on beginning
right; and in a question upon right
itself, everything depends upon
that ultimate tribunal to which we
make our appeal. In all questions
involving the moral destinies of
the world, we require more than
hypothetical or abstract reasoning
from principles merely assumed or
conceded. We need demonstration
or what in this case of moral reas
oning is the only substitute for it,
oracular authority. All questions
on morals and religion, all ques
tions on the origin, relations, ob
libations, and destiny of man, can
be satisfactorily decided only by
an appeal to an infallible stand
ard. I need not say that we all, I
mean the civilized world, the
great, the wLse, the good of hu
man kind, concede to the Bible
this oracular authority; and, there
fore, constitute it the ultimate
reason and authority for each and
every question of this sort. What,
then, says the Bible on the sub
■ ject of war?
It certainly commended and au
thorized war among the Jews.
God had given to man, ever since
the flood, the right of taking away
the life of man for one specified
cause. Hence murderers, evei
since the flood, were put to

Record Income
Tax Seen for State
As the deadlnie aproached last
week for filing income tax re
turns for 1939 (the deadline was
Friday, March 15) it appeared that
record breaking colections for the
state an d federal governements
were in sight,
T - Grady Head, revenue com
missioner for Georgia, was non
committal when asked how the
Georgia returns and money were
coming in.
“We are anxious to get the
money first, then we’ll start
thinking about how much we
have,” he said.
Indications, however, were that
the state like the federal govern
ment, was getting better cooper
ation from the taxpayers thi ssea
son.
Marion Allen, internal revenue
collector for Uncle Sam, said that
if he were a betting man he would
bet a pretty penny that the fed
eral income tax collections this
year will break all records. He
reported on Saturday receipt of
$3,324,993.25 cash poured into the
U. S. Treasury by Georgians, an
amount exceeding by $395,6667.13
monies received at the same time
last year. There were still returns
fvom big corporations and thous
ands of returns sent in by mail to
be counted.
This indicates certainly that
business in Georgia last year was
better than a lot of people thought.

has worked for safer and more
