12 TOHU-VA-VOHU in the lives of even such men as Abraham, Moses, St. John and St. Paul, where sometimes thirty or forty years are scarcely filled by one sentence. . Theologians have what seems to me a very erroneous manner of speaking about the Law, which must have come to them from the system known as the ‘ Federal Theology.” We are told that all men are under the Law, by which is meant the Law of Moses. On inquiring more particulars, you are then told that only that portion of it 1s meant which is called the Moral Law, and is contained in the Ten Commandments. But, granting the distinction for the sake of argument, the statement is not true. The nations could not be under a Law of which they were ignorant, and which was destined for Israel alone. Nor does St. Paul in Rom. 1. and ii., or in any other passage, ever hint such a relationship. Light is thrown on the subject by our Lord’s summary of the Law as perfect love to God, and love to our neighbour equal to that for ourselves. Under this law, whether graven on the conscience or more clearly spoken in the ‘ten words,’ all men are—and the breach of this law must carry death: indeed, it ts death. The Gentiles are only under the Law of Moses in so far as it is the fullest expression of the Law of Nature.
