your life the very evil with which you charge him � love of money what have we none but money we call it wealth we have the name and its shows ihe of the race once it meant now mere riches thou employed the very enemy and of the whose in the last of the was intended as a to embrace the whole has our whole life public and private the of riches not for use only for vulgar beyond belief � the of riches not for good but for evil to gratify which never at their t anything but evil or f marks the lowest level of the by john marvel assistant intellect the and the are the of the community and the are the fit priests for such people he turned away in disgust � but i him what b your remedy you fiercely but give no light you are simply destructive the remedy is more to give he said gravely because the evil has been going cm so long that it has become deep rooted it has sunk its roots into not only the core of our life but our character it will take long to it but one evil mi t be and eventually must be changed we wish to go down into the abyss of universal and destruction you mean � the idea that because a man is accidentally able to acquire through and often corrupt means vast riches which really are not made by himself but by means of others under conditions and laws which he did not create he may call them his own use them in ways to the public good and indeed often in notorious of it and be protected in doing so by those laws accidentally � and means m that does not happen so often it may happen by finding a gold mine � once in ten thousand times � or by ing some on the stock or produce exchange once in one thousand times but even then a man must have courage � w powers of organization by s philosophy so has the and he inter but they are � they break the law what law why law more than these others is not the law not to do evil to others the law established by society for its protection who made those laws the people � through their representatives i added hastily as i saw him preparing to combat it the people indeed i precious little part they have had in the making of the laws those laws were made not by the people � who had no voice in their making but by a small class � originally the � the the king � the � the rich � the people had no part nor voice they received the benefit of them only the which fell from their masters tables they got the the the rack and the stick you would destroy all property rights my dear fellow what nonsense you talk i am only for changing the law to secure property rights for all instead of for a class the necessity for which no k exists if it ever did exist your own law recognized it and it i thought this a good thrust he waved it aside that was for a primitive people in a primitive age as your laws were for your people in their primitive age but do you suppose that moses would make no now by john marvel assistant i hare no idea that he would i believe they were divine surely � moses acted under the guidance ol the gi eat whose law i justice and and the laws be gave were to this aad they served their purpose when served god but now when he is the letter of the law is made an excuse and is given as the command to work injustice and and surely they should be at least interpreted in the spirit in which they were given you claim to be a a very poor one in name at least you claim that th e has been a new v yes � an � a development precisely in place of an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth the other turned � to do to others as you would have them do to you i that is the ideal i have not yet reached that degree of � � i paused for the word i too acknowledge that that ideal why should we not act on it because of human nature we have not yet reached the stage when it can be practically applied but human nature while it does not change may be regulated developed uplifted and this teaching is based on this it has not yet borne apparent fruit it is true but it is nevertheless we both in our better moments at by s philosophy least feel it to be sound and there has been a however little and however hard to you believe in the development of man but you look only to his material development i look for his complete development material and spiritual as he has advanced through the countless ages since god breathed into him the breath of life and by leading him along the lines of physical development to a station in where the physical gave place to ihe e fer development so i believe he is destined to continue this or i growth increasing its power as the ages pass and mounting higher and higher in spiritual knowledge until he shall attain a degree of perfection that we only think of now as a part of the we see the poet and the saint living to day in an atmosphere wholly dis from ti gross of common humanity we see laws being and principles which make for the improvement of the human race we see the g and improvement of the race war
