There is no sound reason why the
preachers should be better men than
lawyers or tinanciers. The real Obli-
cations Of all men are equal. But the
preachers are in trying positions, be-
cause they assume to represent high
standard of morality. They profess
religion. Lawyers and tinanciers can
say they do not pretend to be better
than other men. To a certain extent
they plead guilty. They claim the
merit of not being hypOcritical. The
world is quite in agreement that the
hypocrlte is detestable. The charge of
insincerity and hypocrisy goes to the
weak nerve Of the preacher and his
misfortune is that the world Is still
so skeptical as to the rule Of goodness
that under the charge he Is placed al
once under suspicion. Relatively he is
somewhat in the situation of the rich
man who is charged with questionable
methods in his business of accumula
ton.

And all the while the search for moral
rottenneSs goes on. 1t Is an age OF
publicity and Of challenge and OF pro

public and private virtue and OF the

General Fitzhugh Lee, who died OF
apOplexy recently, was one of the not
