by sdroity and zesously pressing them upon PUB

p1blic mind with false notions Of natural rights and OF
personal Obligation and ia sowing broadcast the seeds

we labor willingly and zesously as our columns W.

nes seeking worthy ends by worthy mesns, and
promising actual and good results. we regard f" -
our duty 70 do ali in our power 10 oeneht our leI'
lov.men but We are not OF those VINO leei per
sonav responsible for the turning OF the Eartn upon

re5rganize Society. We believe much good may De
done BY improving the circumssnces which surround
the vicious and the wrecned-bu Inc essenua eNi .ss
behind that and must be reached by other means We
should not differ from The Tribune az TO the CHRISTIAN
duty ofthe rich poor but cannot denoHnee
them az the yrants and robbers ohose who have been
less industrious and less fortunate. We would esdy see
society free from suffering and al Its members
vrtuous and happy but we believe Social Equsy 70
to be undesirable as tits rsnei
with Plato and Aristotle, that srue society requires
union ofuueoua interests mutually sustaining and adns
each other and not an CATION Identical elements
which could give nothing ike Conference or srenstn 70

in progress which will have nothing tred, Whcn CON

It's departure from all the pillars which Wisdom anu eA
perience have erected We cannot regard wiz lasV'
any principle any scheme, no matter no" pisu1le
its pretsnsons which involves the destruction OF tne
FAMILY RELATION or subjects the MARRIAGE union 20
the caprice OF individual passion Tor not only ne oO
,stes Of wisdom and experience but the expicit IN
functions Of God himself thus rejected ana 9isa'o"
ed We would not venture upon the TREMENDOUS eT
pertinent Of taking OF from humsn passions al
the restraints which Society, Law snu ne 81
have hitherto imposed, however plausible the plea
that the Law OF Passonal Attraction VIII again
bring them into more complete harmony, enu
with pacific and constructive power build up as
by euchantrnent a new and more perfect SOolai
form As soon would we unchaln and turn loose upon
UNPROTECTED women aud children thousand untsmeu
tigers or lead mankind In search OF It's l'st Psreois
into the very heart OF helm the nope tnas son, a
and convert even the ures of the Internal world 10 an
gels and ministers of grace. The walls OF lheoes nsy
have risen AZ the sound OF Amphon harp Out ne he"
vasa son of the Highest and received his Tyre and &C
quired his skill in such constructive and creatve meooy
tom the direct teachings OF It's God go IN these latter
days must the principles Of all true REFORM come down
from Heaven We have faith In any system mat doe
not aim the extrpaton Of MORAL Evil rom tne heAr
OF Man or that aside il this endeavor the teachings
Of Revelation the Eternal principles Of spiritual truth
therein proclaimed and The method OF redemption
therein set forth. The CHRISTIAN RELIGION, IN lts
spiritual and moral principles and injunetons Is the
only power that can reform Society and II must &C
compsh its work by first reforming the individuals o.
whom Society is composed. Without GoD, the World
/ Is also without HoPR.
