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.

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.
