In certain places we see regulations like these placarded: “No
smoking allowed,” “No betting allowed,” “No swearing allowed”;
and we perceive at once the kind of place we are in, and the
kind of people who usually frequent them--that is sufficiently
clear from the prohibitory legislation. We never think of
putting up such regulations in a temple. So the commandments
of Moses assume this to be a sinful world; they are addrest
to sinners; there is in them the idiom of impeachment and
condemnation.--W. L. WATKINSON, “The Transfigured
Sackcloth.”
