The world most certainly needs ihe cnun-
citation Of principle. Aud ye'n gDeuter need
is that of its practical application. The enun-
citation Of principle is often made a comper-
satire iur lis violation. Jesus, centuries ago,
enumerated the principles of liberty aud fra
terniy. Millions in unmeaning vcneration,
have since named themselves by his name
aud dcyouily read aud re.announccd his
principles and yet dnly-paIpably and mose
hagrantly violated them. Our fathers uil--
nounced these principles in their declarations
of independence aud yet the anllor Of HAS
declaration was Il STAKEHOLDER as we're many
of lis most eloquent advocates. And we all

brutliziug slavery. To make the enuncia-
ton of II principle effective, il must be nc
