ABSTRACT
The fate of a Government in 1913 may be said to stand on the Government’s psychology or knowledge of human nature, or of what might be called human engineering, its mastery of the principles of lifting over in great masses heavy spiritual bodies like people, swinging great masses of people’s minds over as on some huge national derrick up on the White House, from one look out on life to another. Possibly the main reason why there are so many wicked people or seem to be, in proportion, among the Hebrews in the Old Testament, is that Moses was a lawyer, and that he tried to start off a great people with the Ten Commandments—that is, a list of nine things they must never do any more, and of one that they must. Moses was the inventor of a kind of national moral-brake system, a machine for stopping people nine times out of ten.
