of our day who cant upon holy themes
for their own glorification or gain. The
indefinable reverence for sacred things
are born in and are a part of us or we

There are many who do not under­
stand and therefore do not lielieve, but
are honest and resjiectfulever. They are
neither hypocrites nor scoffers and should
enjoy the fullest tolerance of those who
differ from them. It is not these against
whom we inveigh. It is the pharisee and (
the "professional religionist” who is
ready enough to believe anything that is
popular and use it, too, if he can. There
is another class. They are those who
may lend their sort of sincerity to their
beliefs, but whose indiscreet application
of it in reality reflects upon the cause.
Religion does not progress liecnuse of
such apostles, but in spite of them, and
this is |>erhiips one of the greatest argu­

class of men who are unwittingly leading
this era of sacrilege in, all of its grave
consequences. It has taken the form re­
cently of the employment of the name of
the Son of God in worldly pursuits. Of
course, the resemblance of a righteous ;
