Wise is that man who throws aside both
the garments of wrOng-dOng and hypocrisy,
and who puts on the garment OF uprightness
the genuine true blue' of honest inten-
ton and effort. His friends and acQuant-
ances will offer him congratulations on the
change. His enemies. if he has any, will
respect him. and what is more and of
greater importance, he will respect himself
If there is any reader who has worn the
garment of hypocrisy. or who is wearing it
now we ask him to think whether it pays
or not? Did you ever know hypocrisy to
lead to any permanent success? Tenn
porary success may be- achieved by hypoc-
risy. but very rarely; and the legitimate
and sure result of it is dismal failure. The
hypocrite cannot deceive his God, his
neighbOr, or himself. The upright man
has no occasion to fear failure of all effort
to make people think he is upright. No
such effort is necessary. The genuineness
of the man and his garment of uprightness
impresses itself upon all observers He has
the approval of God. of his conscience, OF
his intellect. Can there be any doubt
which raiment man should wear?-Our
Paper Warnerville. Mass.
The prison mirror. [volume] (Stillwater, Minn.) 1887-1894, 1888-08-01
Hypocrisy.

Hypocrisy is the tribute which vice pays
to virtue The vile person, to accomplish
his ends. assumes garb that is apparently
that of uprghtness and honesty. The garb
fits him poorly and has an air of unnatural
ness. because he puts it on over his natural
garb of wickedneSS. 1t is not a good tit
To the close observer it is very apparent
that the garment and the man do not belong
to each other. The onlOoker observes,
studies and examines, and soon discovers
the other -unrighteousness-
ing through; and. also discovers that this
outer garb, so presstently worn in public,
is not the genuine article. but worthless
imitation. In his Indignation he either
strips from the hypOcrite mis- bogus raiment.
and leaves him with his original garments
of evil. exposed to the contempt of all men,
or points out to others the fraud he has
discovered. In either case the position of
the hypOcrite is an unenvable one. If he
has gained anything by wearing the bogus
and uncomfortable garment, he loses it at
once when the fraud is discovered. He
gains only the contempt of his own class,
for known hypOcrite is despised by all;
even by other hypOcrites.
Who has not seen such men? They
wear their bogus garment of uprghtness
very conspicuously. They parade it before
the eyes of those whom they hope to de-
ceive. very perSstently. And yet this very
cOnspicuOusness and persistence helps to
display its bogus quality and extreme thin
ness, through which the genuine apparel of
unrighteOusnesS can readily be detected
The attempts which these men make to
pass off their garment of hypocrisy for that
of TRUTH would be laughable. if the matter
were not so serious for them. and the end
were not so inexpressibly sad.
