RI0Hr AND WRONG.

To TIE EDITOR OF THK BUs-SI: Those
who are ruled By the principles OF true agnos-

They have no wish TO destroy the good In
this world. but would rather build upon what
already exists In order to make this world
paradise. This is no chinera. as every
good action performed brings that happy
day nearer The fact that all intellig gent
people admit that there Is wrong In this world
shows us that there must be right also.
Were there no wrong. there could be no right.
