BE doctrine Of depraTity is not as
generally preached as formerly.
although 1t is the easiest doctrine
to live up to that there is. 1t IS
a difficult subject TO treat from the
pulpit seeing there is little unanimity
Of sentiment regarding it, because no
one considers as depravity any forms
Of wiekedness except those with which
one is not himself personally charged.
Nickedness consists only IN being
wicked after some one else's fashion
But there is one type of deformity and
moral ugliness upon which there IS
among people pretty solid agreement,
and II has to do with the attempt DELHI
erately and Indignantly to break down
another's reputation. a mans reputa-
ton is the prime article Of his stock in
trade, and to rob him of that is more
than to steal his securities
There are three cases OF that promi-
nently before the public eye at the pres
ent ume-that Of DIT. Wiley, at Wash
lngton; OF Dr. Doty, at New York, and
