Extract from Kev. Dr. Hawthorne,
It is not the men who have abandon
ed themselves to the gambling tables
aud the dram shops who are doing
most to retard Christianity. Not tl
who struggle through a miserable
wtance with blotched faces, haggard
brows and palsied hand emptied,
shunned and laughed at. The vices of
such men shock oar moral sensibilities
and shows by contrast the beauties of
and violata every principle of it i_
their dealings with the world, these
are they who inflict the deepest wouuds
“ ll ‘ theypretand to espouse.
-istian men who practice
af dishonesty under th<
names of “smartness,” “shrewdness.’
— as” tact are the deadlies
Christian morality. De
ception in business transactions, is
nothing but dishonesty. The taking
of usury because of tho necessity of
your fellowmau meets the strongest
condemnation of God’s holy word.
Contractingdebts with no visible means
of discharging them,’ is another form
* lishonesty. In the realm cf politics
thousans of men who hare forever
forfeited their religions influence by
f iractices that are radically and abso
lutely dishonest. A man who so acts
may live as a politician, but not as n
Christian: men may applaud his politi
cal tactics, but'they will despise his
pretences to religion. .
