is sELF-LovE THE RULING MOTIVE
FRIENDS OF THE CLUB: Self-ove is not the prin-
cipaI incentive 10 human action. 1t is not even
chief motive. Is il geif-iove that prompts the
mother go through fire. if necessary, to rescue
her child from danger? Was il selflove that caused
thousands OF brave risk their lives for their
country? Vas it self-love that nerved Grace Dar-
ling to brave The winds and waves for the sake OF
felcw-ereatures in distress? Was sef-lore the in
centIye to that sublime herolsm which prompted
hundreds risk their lives during the yeliowever
sCourrc? Is il seif-iOve that nerves the lonely
watcher al the bedside, ana wipes the death damp
from the brow of tiIe loved one? No. friends; poor
human nature is weak and sinful, and prone 10
evil, but i. has not lost all sembance to the like
which IL was created thousands OF IN
stances might be cited TO prove the truth OF the say
ing: One tOUch of nature makes the whole world
kin.h-Aiiunie e. Brown, Unity, Wis.
FRIENDS OF THE CLUB: On this question ], too,
take the negative. If all lived but TO crafty
ourselves, who would care for those depending
upon foF kindness and support? Where would
the little waits of large cities find shelter and
food? Are there any who think love of sell ever
draws one toward n love of anything higher?
Then if love OF self were the principal or only in
centive OF action OF all human beings, think there
would be no true-hearted followers OF Christ

THE NEGROES WORSE TREATED THAN THE
INDIANS.
FEIENDs OF THE CLUB: Let us admit that The
Indians have been driven from their homes and
forced to seek another; but what oft? Were they
not an lnGolent, ood-for-no:hng race?. They
would not cultivate the soil when it was in their
possession. Their squaws supported them and
their pappooses while they hunted, fshed or loi-
tered around. The negroes were brought across
the ocean, bought and sold like dumb beasts, chill
dren torn from their parents husbands from wives,
and they themselves made slaves Of by whcInso-
ever haG pclf enough to buy them and in turn they
were often half-fed, and got their backs cut to
pieces by the eowhide and horsewhip. The negroes
capable of high civilization not the Indians.
