Editor's Table JUDGE SEPTIMUS J. HANNA, CSD          . . . That the present financial and other turbulent conditions are in the nature of "judgment," no thinking person will deny. It is not judgment, however, specially sent by an angry God as a means of taking vengeance on a disobedient people, but that judgment which is the inevitable result of the persistent violation of divine law.          It comes not by virtue of divine law, but by reason of the transgression of that law. That there are crises in human affairs which are the culmination of long continued transgression of the divine statutes, is too well established in history to admit of doubt. The Bible is an almost continuous narrative of such events, and we see the fulfilment of Biblical prophecy in every phase of human affairs today. Mortal man in his mad rush after wealth and worldly treasure and gain, has apparently forgotten that there is a divine law, and we might well question, whether in large degree he has not closed his eyes to all moral law. This heedless, headlong rush, always has brought, and always will, (until Christ instead of Adam shall reign,) bring upon itself with almost mathematical periodicity climaxes such as are now upon us.          That there will be certain judgment to all who do unrighteousness there can be no question...   Editorial by Judge Septimus J. Hanna, CSD The Christian Science Journal, October, 1893
