writer feels constrained to assert once
again that instead, it is growing bet
ter. 1t is granted that human no9s
still exist and will continue to exist for
q few million generations more, bit
mankind is gradually, though sl)w.v,
advancing toward the goal when the
only mandate of law will be the stat
utes written by love. We go along day
after day, obeying the conscienee'ess
edicts of custom, grabbing right I'D
left that we may acquire large con-
petencies, when perhaps our c'ose
neighbor may be in distress, but Oh
rect attention to a condition of want
and misery and humanity asser6s us
divinity and hastens to the relief of the
needy
Twelve thousand carloads of 81 Up. es
and over six millions in money W re
contributed to San Francisco, and the
end is not yet. Everywhere, n,rtn
south, east and west. men, wcmcn AID
children hurried to do the best tiieT
could in sending to the destitute 31c-
cor. There never was such a sponta1c-
GUS response to an appeal. This IS
mentioned, not in a vainglorious seas"
as one who bestows charity and boasts
of it, but simply to demonstrate q ro-
sition taken.
There have been some very genil
and loving deeds of mercy performed
since the morning of that terrible
catastrophe. Some of thep-the vas
majority in fact-will never DO kro"3
until the bright morning when the re-
ord Of eternity is opened and read.
One instance has been directed +. orr
attention that is worthy of rep' nc
ton, because it illustrates that som
corporations, as well as thousands %
individuals, have souls, and can app-c-
ciate distress and minister to It. There
are yet doing business in the world
firms like Cheeryble Brothers and Tim
Linkinwaters are still living.
In the city of Brotherly Love IS a
house that has been doing considerable
business on the coast. Several Of ITS
clients lost all in the earthquake and
the fire succeeding it. To eacn and all
it sent the following lette.:

such a time except that we know yoa

ton before this reaches wa. We scnl
you by this mail our spring price list,

that SO far as any charges against ycnr

been destroyed
In the face of such a comm snlcai,en
as that, who viii have the temerity to
that the word of men Is grow
ing worse iavfad Of better That firm
is well worthy of location in the city
the title of which was $, happily ie-
slowed, and it is one that IS doing msst
