crime of every sort. The love of

troys not only the character and
the happiness of. thousands, but
robs the widow and orphan, fills
jalls, penitentiaries and Canada,
and is to-day the greatest foe to So
ciety in its midst From the stock
broker in his marble palace to the
petty convict of the chain gang, it
is the ruling object of life. 1t dries
mp all the springs of humanity, and
makes the heart barren and uu-
productive desert. Men and wo-
men war with each othor about it.
1t produces discord and inharmopy
in families and among friends, and
al'enates man IRON himself, his
neigbbor and his God. It is the
one single, solitary, isolated, damn
ing object after which the whole
human family is striving; men
steal, rob, and commit murder, ar
son and burglary for it. They rob
not only banks, but churches, and
gold, gold, gold is the lifelong OBJ
!ecs of search with most men; re-
ligion and God are forgotten. Men
love money better than whisky.
and its pursuit causes more crime
