Yet every practical man of u:
knows that clothes do not hide
doubtful meanings in pictures
nor doubtful suggestions in daily
life-it is the thought that raises
or debases, that prompts to bet
ter life or that sets on fire.
These rubbery consciences lose
sight of the cause in the effect
and come to regard clothes as
being inherently virtuous. They
even condemn familiar sight of
the sweet little form of an infant
as a debasing act for the child
and full of danger for the eye
that sees. The only lewdness
there is the lewdness of the
thought. Evil be to him who
evil thinks.
We know men whose consci-
ences will not permit them to
vote or take any active share in
the administering of public af-
fairs. Why ? Because their
minds live back in the first cen
fury and its denominations of
Roman decay, and are convinced
with some of the thinkers of long
ago that this world "lieth alto
gether in the wicked one." They
pirate of Gods goodness and yet
are firm believers in Diabolism,
else why give over the world
without an effort to 1.-THE Prince
of the Power of the Air" They
strain at gnats among their fell
low men, and then swallow the
frightful hump-backed camel of
inaction; never stretching out a
hand to save, never yearning to
be up and doing like men, but
always crying for an eternal rest,
which they have not earned.
All the frightful mistakes of
humanity-lands devasted with
fire and sword. lives of babes
out against the walls;
and men torn, sawn, and
disembowelled over differences
of belief; all these acts have been
conscientiously performed at the
first and then continued by
brains and purposes consistently
The conscience of the
Saladin was not troubled at
blood shed for God, the consci-
snce of our Puritans was not
moved at the fate of some very
noble Red men-we all have
sweeping to do in front of our
own doors.
Conscience is not a safe guide
20 the feet +! A will-of the. wisp
S not a safe lamp; both are sub
ects to vagaries. The safe
guide is the agreement of human
experience, against such agree
nents the conscience must be
measured in praising certain
Kings and condemning others,
o-wit: if your conscience
prompts to a selfish act, the
eaching of all time shows that
does not pay; or rath-
# that unselfshness carries ever
he best rewards into the heart
# the one who gives himself,
laving naught better to give. If
conscience makes you illiberal
nd hard, the very freedom of
ain and sunshine on the good
nd to the evil rebukes you and
hows that Nature is liberal, that
he loves all her children with
ut bias. If conscientiously you
ence off heaven into a narrow
lace where none but those of
our own creed have place, hui

of earthly fatherhood
