1--WE need less Of this ideal heaven
and. more of humanity, less talk and
more work. This is the secret by the
way of the Catholic success. That
church goes about doing good;' it
fetches heaven down to earth, while
Protestants are trying to Lift earth to
heaven. What we want i'll Texas is
better jails, innocent jurors, more dis
trict attorneys that have the grit that
some have in this section Of the state,

and that kind Of preaching which
makes respectable the thief in broad
cloth, and condemns the poor rogue
iu rags and then translates the muir
derer on the scaifold."
