Many sincere people, confronted with the intricate problem of human liberty within society. find themselves with no principles of solution. A fiercely emotional loy- any to woolly ideas of liberty mipels them to mistake indiffer- area to truth for tolerance. broad- niindedness for right-mindednees. filISE tolerance for charity, and anarchy for liberty.

This swindle of the emotions which is being worked on sincere but misguided people consists in iiie bogus use of words which. pro- perly defined. all decent. people support by associating the words wttli realities all decent people condemn.

The basic question to be answer- ing in working toward sound prin- :.ples of solution in the field of liberty is this: is any line to be drawn. as a criterion. in these mat- ters of human liberty? so long as you answer "no". you are com- niitted to anarchy-to holding that the perfection of human liberty. lcs in the power to do whatever' each human pleases. By answering ":in", you express your fear that .i., line. any criterion. is a servile viackle. i

is it not a curious logic which ailuivs those who conceive liberty as anarchy to call for the protec- ton of their "rights" by the law if ll fellow human. reveling in his aim anarchic liberty. holds that ii dollar is only 90 cents, and .s:ioi'tciianges them; or that a tmlll'lfI is only 11 ounces and short- wiclity them. or that. a yard of i'”'li is only a rcactioiiary 30 l:l('I'lES and ahortsuits them; or "..tl. arsenic equals vitamin B in pirscrlptions. and poisons them 'l'iic broad-miudedness of the an- nzitliist. becomes highly intolerant of those taking capricious liber- iirs with 'the objective truths by which he lives.

Now if the answer to the basic question is "yes." namely that a l::c- is to be drawn as a criterionl

to be drawn? For. if everyone is free to draw it and to draw it where he pleases we have return- ed to the negative answer; we have returned to anarchy. . . .

The first line. that on which all miter lines are based and to which all others should refer, is drawn by Almighty God, in creating hu- man nature. That line is the moral law. Because God is Supreme Goodness. He gave each of us. as part of our human nature. a soul tiiilf. will never cease to exist. He gave each of us the opportunity iii enjoying that never-ending existence with Himself in Heaven. Because God is Supreme Intellig- eiice He made each oi us accord- ing to an intelligent plan: there are certain types of acts which man should perform to perfect his nature and thus achieve happiness with God in Heaven; there are; ozher types of acts which mani should avoid. because they con- travene the order which should prevail among human acts if man is to achieve the destiny God has A:'ra.nged for rational beings like oiirselves.

Because God is Supreme Jus- fire. He did not create us for such a destiny without giving us means in know this destiny. and to know no order which should prevail in niir acts if we are to attain this destiny. That means is human rea- son. properly used. The order, which reason can discover. la the moral law. This moral law is the general line Almighty God draws in creating human nature as He has. with such a destiny as He has inscribed in .thi:t nature.

But each of us has been given IV God. as part of our nature. not Only a reason by which to know the moral law. but also a free will D? which we may freely accept or

LIBERTY AND THE MORAL LAW

lillO is to draw it and where is it;

right)

freely reject the moral law. If we freely accept the moral law and act according to it. we bring our liberty to at state of perfection, for perfection consists in achiev- ing the objective.

The objectlve of our'human na- ture is ha piness with God etern- ally. and t is arrived at by act- ing according to the moral law. Thus liberty is perfected by law. by the law of reason. which is the law of truth, which is the law of God. This is what Holy Scrip- ture means in St. John viii 32: "And the truth small make you free" and in St. Paul 2 Cor. iii 1'1: "Where the Spirit of the Lord is. there is liberty."

If we freely reject the moral law, we place our liberty outside the conditions of perfection; that is. outside the order we should freely follow if we wish to achieve the objective of our free created nature - happiness eternally with God. Outside the conditions of the perfection of liberty, there is no basis for human rights. For if you and I are morally obliged to do the things necessary to attain the objective--God. then we have thel right to the means necessary forl that purpose. If we are not act obliged then we have no purpose and hence nothing for which- means are necessary; that is. we' have no basis for any rights.

Without the line drawn by God. that is. moral law and its obliga- tions. hunian liberty is anarchy” human right is might and vice is, virtue. The human freedoms arc, the sacrificial price man pays) whenever he rejects his loving Creator. "Whosoevcr committethl sin is the servant of sin.'' 8 ' John viii 34.

LACGHLXN MacINNlS

It was with profound sorrow

it was learned" that he had pass- Icd away without regaining con- sciousness. after being admitted to. Isouris Hospital on the night of

iby a truck, as he was leaving the' ;home of a neighbor to cross thel istreet to his own home.

Born at Red Point on March 'I, 1865. the son of the late Alexander iMacInnis and Catherine MacDon- laid, he attended the school in !,liia,home district. and at an early 121.28, left for the United States "where he took up vamenter work. Illnd blue print reading. After serving as an apprentice for many years he was classed as a skilled mechanic. In this Province alone he erected nine church altars, one being in the church of his own district at Red Point.

It was at the turn of the cen- tury that he returned to the Is- land. and settled in Souris, where he had resided until his tragic death.

In 1904 he married the late Catherine Maccormack. who pre- deceased him 16 years ago.

Keenly interested in civic af- fairs, he served on the town coun- cil of Souris for a number of years. He was an upright citizen, and his wise judgment was always con- sidered.

His funeral to St. Mary's Church on November 18 was followed by ii large concourse of friends and relatives. The pail bearers were. Ernest Dingwell. Kenneth Frazer. Adrian Maclnnis. Michael LaVie, J. Frank Stearns and Percy Clin- ton. Requieni Mass was celebrated by Msgr. J. A. Murphy, and obse-

No animal has a hand like man's. and the work which it made possi- ble had much to do with man's rise in the world. Man was also superior to the animals in his ability to think. When threaten- ed with sudden danger. he had to use all his wits and take every ad- vantage that was offered in order to save himself.

To defend himself against larg- er and more powerful animals lie devised the stone knife. the stone hand axe, the stone hatchet with a handle made from a stag's horn For a long time he had no other tools. but as time went on he learned how to improve his tools in numerous ways. until today we find: man's inventions that fill us with amazement and awe.

It is interesting-to note how careful early man was of preserv- ing fire. Day and night they watched it and fed it least it go out. To let a fire go out as a re- sult of someonets carelessness was nothing short of tragedy. Why? Because man was a long time on this globe before he had learned to make fire. Imagine his joy at this discovery!

No doubt for ages early man ate his food raw. But with the knowl- edge of how to make and kindle fire he soon learned the art of crude cooking. This fact led to variously cooked meals and gave man a variety of foods which hitherto he had to do without.

Drawing is a very old art. The cave people made very lifellfe pic- tures of hunting scenes on the wall: of their dwellings. They col- ored them with the juice of cer- tain berrles. pulverized earth. or the bark of trees. These dyes were prepared and placed in horns un- til the artist needed them to color his pictures.

Some of the best of these early pictures were found in Spain by a Spanish nobleman while digging in a cave near his home.

Our farmers wouldn't get much of a crop yield if they followed the sowing methods of the Egyp- tians. But so fertile was the Val- ley of the Nile that extensive cul- tivation was not needed.

The ease which these early far- mers got their living left them plenty of time to learn how to do a number of other things. They were the first people to measure time and devise a calendar. Their time was divided into days. de- pending on the sun. into weeks and months. depending on the moon. and into years, all things depending on the overflow of the river. The Egyptian year there- fore began in October. And like all early peoples they believed that gods regulated, everything. Hymns uere sung in the gods upon whose kindness their seed time and har- icst depended. They worshiped the Nile god because they depended upon his mercy for the flood that made their land fPl'I.lIC. Their first great temples were built to the gods. and the priests who conduct- ed woiship in them.

Later. they erected the mighty pyramids. which are still a puzzle to scholars and an awe inspiring sight to travellers who have seen

them. .
