GOODNESS AND" WICKEDNESS.
If there is one lesson which history and revelation unite in teaching, it is this — that goodness and wickedness ever have been, and, as long as the world lasts, ever will be, mixed up in this state of our existence — that social progress and civilization will never make goodness universal, eradicate vice, or bring the flesh jnto final subjection to the spirit. They teach also, like a " voice for ever sounding across the centuries, the laws of right and wrong. Opinions alter, manners change; creeds rise and fall, but the moral law is written on the tablets of eternity. For every false word or unrighteous deed, for cruelty or oppression, for lust or vanity, the price has to be paid at last, not always by the chief offenders, but paid by some one." »
