IS CONDUCT rRsr OF siAf
! read the history OF the Spanish lnquisition, and
find that these men, in themselves pure and upright,
burned and manged people simply because they
thought their sinfulness might be redeemed BY tor
lures Take the men who brought upon us the civil
war They do not think they committed sin in pro.
ducing this bloodshed but there Is scarcely one Of
them who docs not say, ~ acted from the best Of
motiyos!h All this shows that conduct cannot be
regarded 4 test OF sim for how difficult how I'M
possible II 10 TO divine mems motives in their actions
How often nan is generous, is noble, simply because
he IS avarcious Of fame Another test that or ex-
perience Is equally aacious as usually applied 70 sin
Those only who know something know that they
know nothing, and one must have consciousness Of
good the evil Hence it is that those who have
made this confession Of sin the strongest terms have
generally been the very saints Of this EARTH
DARWIN CALLED
Wo see how the energies of the most energetic people
ot the earth arc parayzed by snowfall and 50 y Is IN

times be subjected the darkest moods against whose
power they cannot resist What II can be easily
explained by he theory ofevoluton The tenth century,
the NTH century arc still in our blood. In hundred
years from now children shall be able 70 90 what we
can do now and we shall be able 70 accomplish things
that appear to only as dreams of iinaglna
Let the facts as they werei let US lay the
emphasis upon their Interpretation by Emerson, and
not oil ST. Paul
MIN LIKE PLANTS NEED SUNSHINE
The people who themselves and call them
selves miserable snners' beyond redemption.
TO Law the emphasis where Emerson lays il Is
alone hopeful is alone moral The man Who with st.
Paul the hopeessncss Of his sin passive,
priests and medators and abrogates the sense of
his responsibility And this Qf rresponslbity
eradcates the very manjus as have read in the re-
ports oil the Brooklyn revival statements Of preachers
who throw the responsibility both tor their
virtues anu sins upon their Saviour Emerson $ fol-
lower will not hope only that every man shall worship
Christian church, but they Will hope for increased
knowledge worth, manhood
Why Is 1t that the believers in sin much more
earnest than the believers in vrtuey 1t is because
the dread Of the consequences of vice mpresses us
more strongly than the love of virtue. As we shall
grow perfect the time will when the forks
Of the demon with not drive us more quickly than the
smiles OF the angels, and when shall rush on 10
light ana culture aud sweetness eagerly the mis-
cradle sinners now rush away from hell.
