Interests, let me be corrected, and | will
receive 1t patiently and thankfully.
~ L perceive that brother Bronson has
the good sense to use the beetle where it
is needed, after all.
~ The family with which l under
stand Fl. G. Wright and others thus to
identity themselves. is the human family
the great common brotherhood. This
family relation has been generally too
lightly esteemed There has been too
much cutting off, and dividing off, and
building up separate and conflicting IN
terests. There has been too little Of re-
cognlzln5 every being who has an erect
countenance, with Gods image enstamp-
ed upon it. as our brother and fellow.
The doctrine that t" God hath made of one
blood all nations of men," is not as we'll
understood as i; ought to be, nor is lis
worth as we'll appreciated. flour brother
sin, still he is our brother, and should be
treated with kindness and affection, and
at The same time with faithfulness.
A field opens before me here, that l can
not refrain from entering. Those who are
first 10 complain Of the harsh treatment
dealt out by relormers, are themselves
generally the first and last to be guilty of
the harshest and most cruel of all the treat
ment which human beings exercise tow
ards thei: fellow beings. Its harshness and
cruelty take their character from the con-
dition Of the victims Of them. The sever
itY which reformers use, and which is
complained of as beetIing and clubbing
process, is applied to those who assume to
be patterns and leaders in religion and
morals, and those who take it upon them
selves as much as possible to give direc-
ton to human affairs. These are of the
same classes with the "Scribes,' Phar-
isees," and "Lawyers," whom the Savior
treated in the same way. They, of all,
| deserve the severest reatment-because
they enjoy the greatest advantages and
abuse the greatest privileges. They no
only know their Masters will and do i
not-but they lead others astray by bac
precepts and examples. These are they
who complain of the severe treatment they
receive from reformers, while they them
selves are guilty Of ten-fold severity anc
cruelty, in acts of an entire different char
acter, and altogether un "arrantable
scourge. The classes who are subjected
to their I'll treatment are the poor, the ig
norant, the unfortunate, the out-cast, thu
down trodden, the vicious, and the Grimm
AL Now to know whether the severity
used by reformers towards those with
whom they deal, or the severity of thos
who complain of reformers, towards the
victims of their inhumanity, is the NOR
or the less just6abe, it is proper to com
pare the course of each with the cours
pursued by Jesus Christ.
