The MORAL DEREilCT.

moral derelict now is far greater than
that presented by the water-logged
craft that drift at the mercy OF the
currents of the Atlantic. Many a man
is adrift in the world without chart.
without motive power, without hope,
without heavenly direction. The ma.
rine derelict has in poetry or allegory
been characterized as irresponsible, er~
ratio or helpless; and just those quail
ties are characteristic of the moral
derelict. The purposelessness of the
lives of muititudes OF people who seem
busy, yet are busy about mere moth
ings, is appalling The number of per
sons who as far as any definite con
trolling religious belief is concerned
are absolutely wanting and witless is
legion More people than is generally
thought are utterly unproyided with
any moral principles. The result is
that the voyage of life becomes for
such haphazard, go-as-you.please
drive or drift, with no port in sight or
even in Imagination, While angry seas
sweep the doomed craft along upon a
rayless and restless ocean.
This menace of the moral derelict is
a danger both to the man himself and
to society. 1t is very apparent to alt
that the course which many men are
taking is sure sooner or later to effect
their own complete ruin, in purse.
character and reputation. The de
votee of vice, hallmarked with sin,
advertises to all who meet him the
fact that he is rushing headlong to-

sotted drunkard, the INSCRIPTIONS poli-

end is inevitable destruction. The
