 Cornelius!

If thou employest men and pay est them not in accordance with their worth and their needs, but growest unjustly fat by the sweat of their brows, then thou art talk ing from them what thou hast not rightly paid for-and thou shalt not steal, Cornelius!
 If thou workest for another for a just wage, and givest not thy 1ull time and still-or if because laber- CTS are scarce, then demandest more than is thy due-then thou cheatest thy employer-and thou shalt not steal, Cornelius!
 If thou art a teacher and dost remove from youthful minds and hearts God, religion, and all moral ity-teaching as facts that Willcn thou canst not prove-then thou art a robber of the innocent-and thou shalt not steal, Cornelius! :.
 If thou art a welded man ana dost misuse the privileges Of the married state, then thou robbest God and the world of human be- ings-and thou shalt net steal' Cornelius!
 If thou art a surgeon and dost mutilate the body of an innocent man who thou .thinkest (and only thinkest) may bear ill fruit, then thou art destroying in him God given function-and thou shalt not steal, Cornelius!
 If thou, as a physician, dost end the life of one thou deemest to be unfit, or because he suffereth ex- ceedingly, then thou takest betlmes that which belongeth to God alone and thou shalt not steal, Corne- hus!
 Because everybody doth it. or "business is business Ss"-because organism and animalism are tol- erated and applauded by many because much of the world hath dis carded God and hath thus gone mad-none of these, Cornelius, giveth thee right or excuse to do likewise.
 Surely, dear Cornelius, such of these teachings as would rob God and man and the world of what is essentially and rightfully theirs, must bring down afresh from the heights of Mt. Sinai that terrible and unmistakable warning to all men of all time-THOU SHALT NOT STEAL!
