daily press, is Life
Here and there in all ages, under all conditions, few
grand men stood deyng persecution for the betement OF
the race, and with reason dispeled fear ignorance and
moral apathy, and gave the world new lite, out OF
which ran the song of emancipation down future ages.
The young man reads Of their prosecutions and Their
truthfulness Of the record The poet Campbell said
Tis the sunset Of life gives mystical love,
And coming events cast their shadows before
Yes, it's the sunset for after the accumulaons OF
years. man has learned from the stern hand of exper-
ence the inexorabe fiat Of truth that the wages OF SIN
is DEATH and that the truth is just applicable to Ma
ton as to an individual and there is escape
The young man and young should learn to know
that sin has double inhuence; not only kills the moral
sense and character of tie sinner but destroy the
moral life Of those sinned against There some very
crude notions about the acts Of called sih Sins
sin and right is right and all the meaph sica disqusons
Of learned logicans the world neither alter a
truth nor make an indecent the approval OF com
mon sense.
Down in the human heart somewhere under the rubbish
Of ignorance and sin sleeps the knight Of the soul that
crime arouses and that deGes total depraviy in combat
with injustice.
Men may deceive themselves and glory in their own
shame but they do not deceive the public OF right
Men Of uncean habits and dishonest practice in their po-
ca life have uncean habits in their home ife An un-
clean fountain sends forth unclean and matters
not in what direction it Hows.
Right is right and wrong is and there is no Md
die ground for compromise or reconciliation.
When you think the matter over carefully will hnd
the word sin can be applied thousand ways and most
probably before you through working thinker you
will wake up lost in wilderness Of incongruties all
brought about by mans different conceptions Of right aad
wrong A metaphysical question is an ever unsettled
question for the reason that metaphysical proposition is
one where two fools meet and asserts neither can
prove hence we infer and inference is not truth
the truth remains absent
shall not discuss the word sin any further than to re-
mark that right and wrong under the rule and action
Of common sense and that does require much
to know what Of right belongs to u.s. and when we take
from one another without his consent do tor gain
at the expense Of right and this true with nation
with individual
does not alter The nature Of truth because Of the
common practice Of ignoring it but the other hand is
prma facia evidence Of the absence Of moral To
assert that man void Of morality Christian is to state
bold fasehood And it is equally true that man,can
be honest in his business and dishonest in politics.
and the that claims it is liar and hypocre for, as
matter Of fact if the civil lew relative debts treat
ed with the ooseness that characerizes political obligation
This fellow playing fast and loose would show up loose
at both ends.
This infamous fasehood has been worked for all it is
worth time without number. One Of the difficulties is to
get honest business TO engage in active politics.
Strange that the people have been fooled long with
this cry Of Honest Business Man. when the plain truth
is that any man who lends himself to further the interest
and schemes Of dirty political boss, simply to get an
Office. does what no honest man will do,
Political pirates the ship Of state and control the
