Questioned as to the morality of this
avowed looting, this taking possession of
other peoples houses and property on
the plea that there was nowhere else for
him to go. and no other way of support

ed this general proposition:
If there was any moral obliquity in
looking toward those places as their
rightful abodes, we fail to discern it and
ask our critics to point out how we could
have done differently in times of such
special stress and necessity. While be-
lieving that right is always right and
wrong is always wrong, yet there are
many actions that are relatively so.
While one year ago it would have been a
moral wrong to walk into these prem
ises and take our abode there, we con-
tend that we were fully justified in what
above described"
the Rev. Ornament admits the fact of the
looting of abandoned houses by mission
a9ies, and the sale of the looted articles
for the account of their unlawful pos
The deeds he narrates can be
justified on the military ground of "liv-
ing off the enemy's country" They can
be justified again on the theory that per-
mits the despoiling of the Egyptians. FL
nally, they seem to come under the Rev.
DIR. Ament'S maxim that while right is
always right and wrong is always wrong,
yet there are many actions that are rela-
lively So" But it is doubtful If these
same deeds of plumber and conversion
into cash, no matter on what ground ex-
cused, will stand the searching light of
the language of one of the command
ments conveyed to Moses on Sinai, and
by the Rev. DR.. Ament probably taught
to his Chinese converts as one of their
very earliest lessons in Christianity.
