[Delayed by etviku.] 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. Boneville, Gu., June 2, 0 ( J.
