Some people search the scriptures to find
rules for the guidance OF their lives, aud di.
vine truths TO sustain them in their earthly
pilgrimage. Other people do the same thing
to find hard texts to throw at the heads of
fellow Christians who differ from them in
matters of doctrine. The latter class are
quite as prominent in our churches as the
former will they be so in heaven?

The two great hypocrisies of the time =
the hypocrisy that allows liquor to be manu-
featured aud imported in unlimited quauti-
ties, but iorbids it TO be sold and the hy-
pocrisy, that shuts up faro-banks and lottery
Offices, but leaves Wall street undisturbed.
