Did he realize the true mean- ing of the thing he said? Jesus at this moment points away from him- self and everything else to God, God alone is 'the good, the one source of all goodness. V. 19. Having thus prepared his questioner to face the situation in a really serious frame of mind, Jesus answers the question by referring rst to the requirements of the Deca- gue, particularly the laws of the Becond Table, governing our duties to our fellow' men. Thespromise of Rhe law is that those ng observe its rommandments will "live." So that the.

Ecuador Accedes To Slavery Pact Notifies League of Adherence to International Agreement GENEVA--The government of Ecu- ador has notified the League of Na- tlos of its accession to the Interna- tional slavery convention whith was concluded at Geneva in September, 1927. Only two other American states. Nicaragua and Haiti, have ratified the pact formally. Canada, which is the only part of the British Empire that has not rati- fled the treaty has signed it but has not given formal acceptanee. In the same category are Panama, Uruguay, Columbia and Cuba. The suggestion has been made that the United States should adhere to the treaty on humanitarian grounds, just as many European governments have done.
