cinle and Viqor in Thought" the Sacramento
Record lays down the Ito ~ absurd) propo-
sition that among the most discouraging facts
Of the time is the manifest decline Of reser-
ence for the true and good, in thought.
Twenty years ago it would have been found
impossible to obtain champions for many OF
the doctrines which are boldly enunciated now,
and even if the advocates had been there. au-
diences would still have been wanting. The
present generation, however, seems to enter
tain no fixed principles of right and wrong
but shifts, with fatal facility. from the true to
the false, and from the false to the true, appar-
entity regarding it as matter Of Indifference
which view is held" We think the Record is
mistaken, except as to the decline in reverence
for fossilized superstitons and imaginary
truths At no time in the history of the world
has principle been cherished more sacredly
than now, as was clearly shown by the quench'
less enthusiasm with which hundreds Of thOus-
ands Of brave men laid down their lives in the
armies of the North aud the South. in the de-
tense and for the preservation Of what they
believed to be true and right; neither has
thought ever been more vigorous, analytical
and searching than now. Witness the fearless.
ness and power with which old and venerated
dogmas are assailed, their claims to our respect
and credence destroyed, and new truths and
startling theories promulgated. The fact is
men are farther advanced in knowledge now,
have greater regard for the truth, and are
more intent on separating the true from the
false aud retaining only that which is true,
than at any former period; and this is the
reason why respect is shown and hearing
given to every man and woman who has an
opinion to advance, and the more enlightened
the audience the more attentive aud respectful
Whatever of truth is known Of all Of the mu

universally: and it is only when We enter the
field of theory aud speculation-the realm o

by the Record is discovered. No man moi
