A Dishonest Age.

Among the characteristics Of the
times we are living in there is one
not much mentioned by the many
popular speakers, who seem to
think the men they speak to are to
be benefited chiefly by being assured
how much wiser and better and
more "progressive' they are than
any Of their fathers were, who sup
pose the age is to be instructed by
being fattered, and that the conn
try needs TO be glorified rather than
purified; which was certainly not
the way of the old prophets.
The characteristic l mean is dis
honesty. i am not discrediting any
of the actual modern merits-inteili.
gcncc, enterprise, invention, philan'
thropy. Grant all these, in large
degree. Nevertheless, they do not
bring with them honesty in proper
ton. Falschood and fraud flourish
along with them, in spite OF them,
and in some cases BY the help OF
them. From tho vulgar sediment of
society, up to its highest submits,
there spreads a tremendous force Of
selfish materialism--call it sharp
ness or call it crime-by which men
reach after and snatch and call their
own, for use or show or for boarding,
what is not theirs. 1t is stolen in
gcniously and indirectly, and in
such ways that the old forms of law,
which undertook to punish outright
robbery, fail to ovcrtake them. Not
in a few rare spots, but in every
SPOT where two or three hundred
people live together, a part of these
people consume or lay up or waste
what belongs to other people, and
what they have managed to get by
some species Of deception. What
natural production Of the earth is
there, meant for the sustenance OF
comfort Of man, that is not adulter.
