The accumulation Of wealth by honeet

must be drawn between honest wealth

service rendered--and predatory wealth,
which defles the law or turns government
itself into machine for the plunder Of

der any just form o' government, neither
can the vicious expect happiness, but

Love is the antithesis OF greed, aud

Love and love alone can regulate the re-
