Unmistakably Plain Speaking to Debtors.

* The Rev. Father Haokett, in a sermon ' that he preached last Sanday in St. '' * Patrick's Cathedral; Auckland, , eajd :— j * '• Filing one's schedule is, in the ease of 1 , many, a polite method of picking- man's J pocketn. Non-payment of lawful 'debts is ■ condemned by .God's -.h^w, 'Them shalt not steal.'- Thb trian wfao borrows money ' and does not refund it, the man wbo ' purchases goods from his merchant and does not pay for them, is in the fall sense of tbe word a thief, and l thieves shall not possess the, Kingdom of Heaven.' Tbis y might seem too barsb a term when ap- ' plied to a person who pays not what * he owes. But I conld not find a more appropriate name. What is. a thief? { A thief or a robber is a man who steals the goods of his neighbor, appropriates them 1 to his own nse, and never returns ttiem or their equivalent. The man who receives f goods or money from his neighbor on don- ■ dition that he will pay for tbe goods'parchased or return the money borrowed, bat ; wbo never intends to do bo, that man is a . robber also ; for he does precisely the same ; injustice to his neighbor." Thi* was t followed by apt illustration is tbe case of tradesmen and others, all equally deI nonnoed as nothing but dishonesty. Hs argued strongly that ftfcfits shonid belaid and against the false feeling of "coming dawn in the world" by Hying within the means of altered circumstances. •• People are bound to live economically while in debt. They are obliged in conscience to save the money they *o frequently spend' on tbe fashions, and in going to balls and operas. If the rental of the hause they occupy is too high they most but down expenses, seek a humbler houße, and thus pay their creditors. Many honest people had to do all this, and although they were obliged to come down in the world for a time, still they paid their just debts, satisfied their creditors, and to-day occupy honorable positions in the world, enjoying the testimony of a good conscience before God and their fellowmen."
