Law and Testimony

Annie M. Knott

In every legal trial the essential elements of law and testimony must be considered. To both of these, frequent reference is made in the Scriptures, and since the earliest days mankind has had, perforce, to give heed to them, for the false sense of law and the overwhelming weight of false sense of law and the overwhelming weight of false testimony concerning man has made of mortal existence a long and hopeless trial, in which equal condemnation has seemingly been meted out to the just and the unjust, and because of this many have cried out in the poet's mournful strain,—

Why urge the long, unequal flight,
Since Truth has fallen in the street,
Or lift anew the trampled light,
Quenched by the heedless millions' feet?
