1t is miraculous how in every age good men,
often in the church, are ready to rush to the
defense OF olimperille wrongs. In the timoOf
Charles |, the English church preached the
dogma of the divine right of kings In this
great republic, before the rebellion, mon of
God, north as well as south, full of us pira-
ton and TO hold the Almighty responsible for
the wckedness of men, proclaimed the divine
right of slavery
Even now appeared an article prepared
with much care by one of the most clouuent
pulpit orators and eminent dvines in the
nation, Bishop y eWman of the Methodist
church, in which he claimed that making
money was divine gift. The proposition
was startling in Its novelty startlingm oppo-
sltion to what was pOpularly supposed 10 be
the tcaC hmgS Of the old and new testament
from the time when in the thundcrs of Sinai
the wrath Of the Almighty was hurled
against His chosen people if they cuOvrd the
divine gift by making money through the
innocent mode of interest or usury, and
more bitter deHuncatlOns against thosc
who took raimeut as security for chattel
mortgage and failed to ''deliVcr II unto him
by that the sun gOcth down. to the timo
when Christ said it would be easier for a
camel to pass through the needle S eve thnu
lOr rlch man to enter the Kingdom of God
When he drove out in dis grace from the
temple ormarkct place the money changers
who were only engaged in the enjoyment of
the divine gift by the legitimate industry of
selling doves.

correctly, he is altogether too exclusive in
the bcstowal of divine gift to make it part
of the creed of faith and receive a niche in a
revised catechiSm. The bishop should organ
