tT7 "THE DANGERS AND DUTIES OF THE
MERCANTILE Profession" by GEORGE S. Hill
LARD, is an anniversary discourse delivered before
the Boston Mercantile Library Association and
as might be expected from the name of the writer
Astounding in wholesome reflections, expressed in
a style of remarkable terseness and vgor. He

THE INFLUENCE OF THE MERCANTILE CLASS
The mercantile class, TO which you belong, is
exerting important and an increasing influence
upon the affairs of the world. Feudal ideas are
fast dying out, and kings and mobiles are losing

| growing Importance of men Of business, as an
! historical element, because they never favor the
costly pastime of war. The pocket is always on
the side OF peace: And, as the influence Of the
mercantile class is always exerted to keen men

teaches US that there are good men everywhere.
We thus learn the meaning of the word humanity
We become conscious that there is a great hu.
man family, whose members speak many langua
ges and are OF various aspects. 1t is not very
long since it was common to hear speakers and
writers in England applying the phrase our nat

without mourning the mputation at least of very
bad taste The merchants and manufacturers of

Man Is never the natural enemy of man, and a
vision no more piercing than that of enlighted self
