A great many changes have taken
place since the advent of 1900, and
great many more will take place before

what subject or person comes up in
course OF conversation, they start some
frivolous objection or make some sell
sorOIs remark. Instead OF trying to
be i'll charity with their ncighb0rs they
take malicious pleasure in speaking
evil of them. They obstinately shut
their eyes to good qualities, while they
employ microscopes to discover and
-
torture language to cXaggcrate what
they have seen, so as to dcpreciatc as
much as possible. They do not, how
ever, always speak ont boldly, but they
deal i'll inucndOes, hints and ominous
shakes of the head. Instead of frank
ly assailing in front, they assassinate
behind the back. They spend their
lives i'll dcliling human nature, like
the foul lahOOs whom the sutarst has

brotherhood. In the ideal of the fallen
Lucifer, we have, on the contrary, the
