Sunday morning passed quietly here
there was demonstration last evening
when the crowds, which gathered ,r
front Of the newspaper offices, read the
latest announcements Of the action
taken by the United States Senate in
regard to Cuba. After it became known
that the Senate had adopted resolu-
ton favoring recognition Of the present
Cuban insurgent government, there was
scene of the greatest excitement and
patriotic shouts were raised on all sides.
When the students heard the news on
leaving the theaters, they paraded the
streets cheering for Spain and made an
attempt to reach the United States Con-
sulate. The authorities, however, had
taken precaution and the students and
others who took part in the disturbance
were dispersed.

truthfulness, there are others who
start life with just the opposite ten
dency, and they are born liars, or born
malcontents, or born outlaws, or born
swindlers.
There is in England a school that is
called the Princess Mary school. All
the children in that school are the
children of convicts. The school is
under high patronage. | had the
pleasure of being present at one of
their anniversaries, presided over by
the earl of Kintore. BY wise law in
England, after parents have commit
ted a certain number of crimes, and
thereby shown themselves incompe-
tent rightly to bring up their chill
dren, the little ones are taken from
under pernicious influences and put in
reformatory schools, where all gracious
and kindly influences shall be brought
upon them. OF course, the experiment
is young, and 1t has got to be demon
strated how large percentage of the
children of convicts may be brought
up to responsibility and usefulness.
But we all know that it is more diff
cult for children of bad parentage to
do right than for children of good par
entage.
In this country we are taught by
the Declaration of American lndepend-
ence that all people are born equal.
There never was greater misrepre-
sentation put in one sentence than in
that sentence which implies that we
are all born equal. You may as well
say that flowers are born equal, or
trees are born equal, or animals are
born equal. Why does one horse cost
500 and another horse cost So, 900?
Why does one sheep cost $40 and an
other sheep cost $500? Difference in
blood. We are wise enough to recog
nize IL in horses, in cattle, in sheep,
but we are not wise enough TO make
allowance for the difference in the
human blood. Now demand by the
law of eternal fairness that you be
more lenient in your criticism of those
who were born wrong, in whose ances-
trail line there was hangman's knot,
or who came from tree the fruit OF
which for centuries has been gnarled
and worm.aaten.
1t is a very different thing To SWIM
with the current, from what it is to
swim against the current, as some of
you have, no doubt, found in your
summer recreation. IL man find him
self in an ancestral current. where
there is good blood flowing smoothly
from generation to generation, it is
not n very great credit to him II he
turn out good, and honest and pure,
and noble. lie could hardly help it.
But suppose he is born in an ancestral
line, in an hereditary line, where the
influences have been bad, and there has
been a coming down over a moral de
clivity, IL the man surrender to the in
fiuences he will go down under the
over mastering gravitation unless
some supernatural aid be afforded him.
Now, such a person deserves not your
excoriation, but your pity. Do not sit
with the lip curled in scorn, and with
an assumed air of angelic innocence
looking down upon such moral precipi-
tation. You had better get down on
your knees and first pray Almighty
God for their rescue, and next thanI:
the Lord tnat you have not Oeen

You look in another direction.
There is nothing like ebullitions Of
temper to put man to disadvantage.
You, a man with calm pulses, fine
digestion and perfect health, cannot
understand how anybody should be
capsized in temper by an in6nitesimal
You say: II couldn't DO
unbalanced in that way Perhaps
you smile at provocation that makes
another man swear. You pride your
self on your imperturbability. You
say with your manner, though you
have too much good taste to say it
with your words: II have great deal
more sense than that man has: | have
a great deal more equipose of temper
than that man has; never could make
such puerile exhibition OF myself 81
that man has made" Let me see. Did
you not say that you could not be
tempted to an ebul.ition of temper?
Some September you come home from
your summer watering-place and you
have inside, away back in your liver
or spleen, what we call in our day
malaria, but what the old folks
called chills and fever. You take
quinine until your ears are first
buzzing beehives and then roaring Nj
agaras. You take roots and herbs,
you take everything. You get we'll.
But the next day you feel uncomfort-
able, and You yawn, and you stretch,
and you shiver, and you consume, and
you suffer. Vexed more than you can
tell you cannot sleep, you cannot eat,
you cannot bear to see anything that
looks happy, you go out to kick the
cat that is asleep in the sun. Your
children's mirth was once music to
you; now, 1t is deafening. You say:
Boys, stop that racket You turn
back from June to NJ arch. In the fam
lily and in the neighborhood your popu-
larity Is o. per cent. off. The world

disagreeable man? What woe begone

him" You have got your pay at last
got your pay You feel just as the
man felt, that man for whom you had
no mercy, and my text comes in with
marvellous appositeness: with what
measure We mete, 1t shall be measured
unto you again."1
In the study OF society have come
to this conclusion, that most of the
people want to be good, but they do
not exactly know how to make 1t ont.
They make enough good resolutions
to lift them into angelhood. The vast
majority of people who fall are the
victims of circumstances. They are
captured by ambuscade. II their
temptations should come out In
regiment and fight them in q
fair field they would go out
in the strength and the triumph Of
David against Goliath. But they do
not see the giants and they do not see
the regiment. Temptation comes and
says: Take these bitters, take this
nervine, take this aid to digestion.
take this nightcap." The vast major
ity of men and women who are de-
stroyed by opium and by rum first
take them as medicines. In making
up your dish of criticism in regard to
them, take from the caster and the
cruet of sweet oil and not the cruet Of
cayenne pepper.

to care no more for you than the dog
that has died of fit under the fence.
You are kicked and cuffed and buffet

you resent some wrong. A man says:

Again, | have to remark, that In our
estimation of the misdoing of people
who have fallen from high respecta-
bility and usefulness we must take
into consideration the conjunction of
circumstances. In nine cases out of
ten man who goes astray does not
intend to do any positive wrong. He
has trust funds He risks part of
these funds in investment. lie says:
Now, If should lose that investment
have of my own property five times as
much and IL this investment should go
wrong, | could easily make it up; |
could five times make it up" With
that wrong reasoning he goes on and
makes the investment, and 1t does not
turn out quite as well as he expected,
and he makes another investment.
and, strange to say, at the same time
all his other affairs get entangled, and
all his other resources fail and his
hands are tied. Now he wants to ex.
tricate himself. lie goes a little fur.

takes plunge further ahead. for he
wants to- save his wife and children;
he wants to save his home; he wants
to save his membership in the church.
He takes one more. plunge and all is

There is a great deal Of unfairness in
criticism in human conduct. 1t was to
smite that unfairness that Christ ut
tered the words of the text, and my
sermon will be a re-echo OF the divine
sentiment In estimating the misbe-
havior of others, we must take into
consideration the pressure OF circum-
stances. 1t is never right to do wrong,
but there are degrees of culpability.
When men misbehave or commit some
atrocious wickedness we are disposed
Unfortunately to tumble them all
over the bank Of condemnation. Suffer
they ought and suffer they must, but
in difference of degree.
In the first place, in estimating the
misdoing of others. we must take into
calculation the hereditary tendency.
There is such thing as good blood,
and there is such thing as bad blood.
There are families that have had a
moral twist in them for u hundred
years back. They have not been care
full to keep the family record in that
regard. There have been escapades,
and maraudings, and scoundrelism, and
moral deficits all the way back,
whether you call it kleptomania, or
pyromania, or dipsomania, or whether
1t be in milder form, and amount to
no mania at all. The strong proba-
bility is that the present criminal

sickness may have touched his brain,
and his Judgment may be unbalanced.
He is wrong, he is awfully wrong, and
he must be condemned, but there may

under the same temptation you might
have fallen. The reason some men do
not steal 5000, 900 is because they do
