THE FRUITS OF THF LATE
WAR.-The Rev. DR.. Theodore
D. Woolsey, ex-President of
Yale College, in an annual ser
mon delivered lately before
the Home Missionary Society,
made the following statements
in relation to the condition of
society in this country:
''Where are we now? A re-
view of the years since the
wars close-does it not ava
ken q profound shame9 The
loss of the nobility of national
character; the trifing with
truth and honor by.public men,
the acknowledgements of party;
the common cry that all men
legislators, executors and what
not-have their price; the rev,
Citations that leak out every
day, are the index to an under,
lying sink of corruption. Il
the signs of evil grow out of an
artificial financial system were
all, local remedies might avail
But when we see the nation
degraded by universal fraud
bribery, adulteries, murders
divorces, plundering of great
cities, the evil examples Spreads
in this age too rapidly. Some,
thing it needed beyond Sunday
schools, temperance societies
and the like"
