Thorn is a very strange and a
very illog'oal idea extant in the
world. It is believed by some
people that the way for ns to show
our sympathy for our own class ot
people is to abase those who have
more than wo have. When we
meet a man to whom God gave
more wisdom than he did to us, it
is natural for us to admire him,
whether ho be preacher, lawyer,
statesman. Then why should wo
bate the man to whom God lias
givon’moro wealth than he lias to
us? Of course it is right and
proper to enact laws fur tlm pro
tection of the pooplo against the
unscrupulous of the wealthy class,
who would oppress the weak, but
the person who tries to arouse
envy and prejudice, and to c rent to
hatred in one class against anoth
er just because the other class lias
more, is not a friend to anyone—
not a brue friend to himself, even.
Lot us suppose for an instant
that those people v. ho put fabu
lous sums of money together lor
the purposes of manufacturing our
crude material into valuable finish
ed products; and transporting our
produce and all kinds of gcools
and ourselves overland audeea:
and for the purpose of enabling
us to send and receive messages
from all parts of the world; and
who are thereby furnishing mil
lions of our people with employ
ment,and opening up ways through
which thousands are now con
stantly rising in the world to
higher planes, are us black as they
are painted, and are our enemies
and a nienuce to our welfare.
What then? Jesus even com
mands us to love our enemies, and
Paul assures us that love worketh
no ill, etc. May God give us light
by which we can see the right.
