"Here is an casy classification' of men. Some are strong, the few comparatively. The majority are weak, And .the The scripture enjoins that men with such strength are nol here fo please themselves, to nurse weir strength, lo tshand it simply for their onw mod, but they must expend it in behalf of men who are shorn of or ad- vantage.

But the reply comes back: Let each man bear his own burden, each man do his duty, each men be faithful and true, then the fidelity of each will cre- ale a paradise for all, There would ke ro sorrow in the world save those al a lighter kind. We fIrequently argue: De not saddle burdens or moral delin- quents upon good, punctual souls who :ay the debls of conscience as fast as hey fall due; let these weak ones, these spendthrifls and insolent sinners bear inc burdens of their own social or mor- a: bankruptcy.
