It was all in order for Yahweh, the guardian spirit of the Hebrew race,
to "hetchel" the Jews--and from all accounts they needed it--but the
most anomalous phase of this whole affair consists in the fact that
after having set forth to the world that the church, and all were to
come under the rule of the "new dispensation," and represent the
teachings of the Master, they should turn back to the old, old history
of the Jews, and incorporate bodily into the so-called Christian
religion, and into the political life and jurisprudence of nations, the
restrictions, the penalties, and, in a word, the Hebraic law in its
entirety. Law, as it is applied in America, is a process lacking in
equity and justice. It is circumvented by $-s for the benefit of the
rich, a menace to the poor man, binding on the needy burdens that kill,
or lead to despair. Jesus Christ did not make law; he only indicated
the presence of the higher law--the scientific law--that must rule all
life on this planet ere justice to all can ever prevail.
The gospel of Jesus--the Nazarene--was the first that ever brought hope
or promise of any possible good to the outcast, and the children of
poverty.
