Few in the world are found ready to
stand squarcly up and say word in fa-
vor Of money, aud yet everybody is try
lug to get it by sedulous devotion o. all
the powers that belong to them and a
large majority, the powers that do not be-
long to them, but which they improve fol
their own benefit. The idea that the
love of money is the root of all evil Is a
fallacy 1t can no more be called thus
than the love of anything else, which,
when inordinate, is fully as much the
root of all evil as money. We can think
of loves more pernicious and baneful than
that of money, as full of evil as it is.
Paul, in this, turned a little out of his
usual excellence of judgement; but per.
haps the proyerb applied especially TO
his own day, which, like the currency Of
the period, was different from ours, for
there was no scrip in Judea, and little
money went great ways where a penny
was the price of days work. 3
But we do not wish to reflect too severe
ly on the ardcut apostle, being consider
ate of any ones feelings. There were
times when he did not speak byauthority.
We mccely write this for the comfort of
such as love money; and all love it, how
ever ALPHABETICALLY the fact may be dlsa-
vowed. Good people feel the old proverb
hanging over them, with every energy
alive to get it, and hence invent excuses
these are striving to get money to pay
their debts, these working for a living,
these to lay up,a little something for a
rainy day, these to get something for the
poor--but the love Of money lies at the
/ bottom III; and it is as wholes Jmo a
love as they can cultivate. The only
danger is, as in the case of an excessive
love of mullins, of its being overdone.
Therein is the evil. There is danger
that it may get such a hold upon one that
utter selGshuess may crowd out all the
graccs of character in the SOUL and leave
it a soul beyond the power or disposition
to save, sud may prove indeed to be the
root of all evil. ga g UsU
Only think what money is, and then
ask why shouldn't it be loved I? what has
advanced civilization but money ? what
has spread Intelligence so far but money ?
what keeps virtue alive and represses vice
but money ? what carries on government,
and all that sort of thing, but money
These questions are ridiculously simple;
aud the love Of money in this light Le-
comes the most commendable love in the
world How ridiculous to condemn such
love as this, and how contemplate to dis
claim it Money is the 'open sesame"
to society, and m .kes thick cowhide boots
tolerable in a drawing room. Money
gives Difference and place where education
aud manners may desrair oftheir attain
ment. Money is the power that keeps
the wheels of the world moving, without
which men would sink into barbarisin.
Money is the hinge on which every thing
turns, and all that is grand and geod for
the benefit Of the race is achieved by it.
Money ministers to oufspleasurcs and
our necessities, builds our theatres and
steet railways, and supports churches.
Money maintains our respectabili'y,
and fixes our status Of political morality.
We learn, from Josephus, that truth was
proclaimed the Cardinal virtue by king
Cyrus. Should the discussion be revived
% day. money would be the governing
power. and truth woull be subordinate.
Truth is negotiable, for we are told TO
buy the truth, but sell it not Then love
money, decently, and it is virtue, be-
cause money itself is virtue and he
who has his pocket full of ii is equal to
ddy trial with temptation We know
this is not the doctrine usually taught,
but it is very tenable. y I'D aJi9Yo ia't
