Governor Marshall Says There Are Too Many “Thou Shalt Nots.”

“There are too many ‘thou shalt nots’ in the world,’’ declared Governor Marshall of Indiana, Sunday night in Orchestra Hall in Chicago before the Sunday Evening club. “This applies not only to religious life but civil life as well. When you tell a man he shall not do a thing, that is just the thing he is going to do unless his wife has more Influence over him than most men’s wives have. “The world doesn’t need reformers. I am sick and tired of reformers who peddle cure-alls done up in attractive packages. What the world needs is the regenerative influence of the lowly Nazarine who climbed weary way to Calvary, alone, spurggd, spat upon, crushed under the weight of the cross he bore for all mankind. And this influence will banish all the misery and want and woe in the world. It is the only genuine remedy for the ills of the dreary old earth. “If you are inclined to worry about the affairs of this life don’t worry. Go to the great physician. His prescription will cure you and His prescription is ‘love your neighbor as yourself.’ ”
