NATURAL LAW AND DEPRESSION.
"Come with me," said Richard Cobden. as John Bright turned heart-stricken from a newly-made grave. "There are in England women and children dying with hunger—with hunger made by the laws. Come with me, and we will not. rest until we repeal thosa laws." Which they did. What two men did many years ago surely we also of to-day can do the same. Just what, then, did these two men do that gave England plenty in place of hunger ? They repealed the Corn Laws, removing the restrictions on imports of food, and yet at the same time they also did something of yet far greater importance—they repealed man-made laws and replaced them with natural laws. I know of no other means by wiich depression and unemployment could be more readily removed than by repealing our man-made laws and having in their place natural laws. I know of no other means by which the teaching of Christ could.'be_ more readily made manifest In our economic lif e than by adopting natural laws. Natural law is moral law; natural law is brotherhood. J. L. VERCOE.
