Hypocrisy.

a Iypoerlte is said to be a dissembler;
one WHO assumes false appearance; one
wno teigns TO be other and better than
he really is; one who, for the purpose
of deeeiving or OF winning favor, puts
on smooth outside seeming; one who is
a false pretender to virtue or piety; Que
who assumes appe arances; one who

the church; one who eau cut his neigh.

ed till the exploit is fairly accomplish

place and position under them. These

Ana YET society places premium upon
hypocrisy. Is not this true? Who
does not know the fact that the honest,
wayfaring man is quite often thrust
aside, both in church and state to make
room for the bland, silver-tongued
hypoclite? Yes, who does not know
that hollow pretensions are at premi

humility, meekness aud honesty are
below par? Go to the Capital Of the

ties, and then tell US what there is TO
so-called "pure gentility" but refined
hypocrisy. 1t is as true to day as 1t
was 10 the days of our Savior, that
many "appear righteous unto men, but
within are full Of hypocrisy and iniqul-
ty." And yet we are also told that-''the
hypocrite's hope shall PERISH" aud that
'the congregation Of the hypocrites
shall be desoiate."
Now let us inquire whether that day
is approaching. We concede the
hearts desolation in "the congrega.
ton Of the hypocrites;" but the fasciu-
ations Of society are still there; aud,
more than this, vanity, pomp and
hypocrisy still challenge admiration in
social life. Too true it is that men bow
to aristocraey, and ape the vilest FASH
ions Of the day. And these things tend
to keep hypocrisy at premium.
