The Most Popular Sin.

high authority, is seliishness. At least
this was the conclusion reached by a
number of prominent public men. in
Guiding lawyers, editors. religious
workers and others in response to an
inquiry of Rev. DR.. Rcisner Of Grace
Methodist Episcopal church, in New
York, "EThat is the most popular Sin
and the hest method to offset it?' OF
all the ignoble traits of humanity
seIfishness works the greatest evil. 1t
finds it's root in envy, malice, extraya-
gance and its fruit in sin. IF we could

Edward Everett.

Edward Everett was one of the most
purely literary Of all American orators.
Among the more eminent scholars and
statesmen cf our land 10 one has ever
been more desarvedly honorea for in
tellectual power, purity of character
public and private, and for c!earness
and perception of judgment than Ever
eft. To the efforts of Edward Everett
more than to any other one person is
to be credited the raising of funds
sufficient to purchase the home OF
Washington at Mount Vernon. He de
I;vered lecture On the character OF
that great man more than a hundred
times and gave the proceeds to the
Ladies' Mount Vernon association H'
personally placed over 100000 in th'
treasury 1t is probable that his ora
tory won for benevolent purposes a
! least 100000.
