R. H. James Whitby Free Methodist Church As we consider the attitude of societ>' concerning the man>' aspects of it, the attitude to be taken concerning the wrong door, the opinions are varied and màn>'., Is justice meted on by the iron hand of law and order? or is it completely vindicated by forgiveness and love? As J see it both have their rightful, justifiable place, both are necessar>' for direction for society and its well being. It appears to me that God bas given clearl>' the necessity of the state to bring an offender to justice by bringing him to justice b>' bringing him to court, paying a fine, or whatever the judge may deem applicable to the crime permitted, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, in other words one punishment for stealing a loaf of bread another for stealing an automo- bile.as Romans chapter 13 speaks of the importance of civil authorit>' by our law officers. Therefore as 1 see it, our law officers must be given every freedom to bring to justice offenders or the rilest criminals, whether it is "bugging" their telephone or whatever they deem advisable. Remem- ber that top criminals are smart, clever, witty people, who are wise at outwitting the law. The churches' position is to approach the offender not with condemnation, but a genial compassionate love and concemn, agreeing yes you have done wrong but somewhere we have aIl sinned. Let him know God's love and forgive- ness and that God is ready to forgive and will thé moment he asks and that God will filI bis beart and life witb His love. Throughout Gods word both positions are clear. plete charge of the evening service with variations in mu- sic, song etc. These men have been singing the Gospel for years.
