Appeal to the Law
Christian Herald
Romans 3:19-20
Now we know that what things soever the law said, it said to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped…


The new Collector of the Port of New York is not harassed by disputes as his predecessors were. He has had all the books regulating the customs service placed within his reach, and when appealed to for his decision his clear grey eyes brighten as he replies: "The law says so and so about that question, does it not?" He is generally answered in the affirmative, and without more ado he dismisses his visitor, saying: "The law on the subject was made for me to follow, and follow it I shall."

(Christian Herald.)
