As far back as sacred and profane history teaches into the mist of antiquity, we have exemplifications of the truth of thé Biblical maxim: “The way of the transgressor is hard.” In the parable of the Prodigal Son, Christ added a spiritual lesson to the moral to be drawn from the consequences of leading a licentious life. He showed, first the downfall that inevitably results from violating the old copy —— maxim that “evil communications corrupt good manners,” and then in a touching allegory pictured the fact that there is still hope for even those who have fallen to the wretched state of the swineherd who ate “at the same table as his flock. The moral and ethical lesson taught by the Savior was ancient when the genealogy of Abraham began; but He supplemented it by pointing out that there is hope for repentance and reform for even the most degraded. Except that he stole to gratify a dissolute appetite and the passion for gameing, McKowen did no more than hurdreds of others are doing all around us. They are wasting their own substance in riotous living, instead of filching it. But where the sense of moral responsibility is destroyed by indulgence in intoxication, illicit pleasures and the gambling vice, it is opportunity that makes the theft. The fact is thoroughly understood in commercial circles. Theft is the natural fruit of dissipation, for illicit pleasures produce extravagance as well as corrupt character. Thus the temptation to steal comes at the very moment when the moral safeguards are broken down. The precise facts of McKowen’s case are new, everything’ else about it is a story that has been told every day to countless generations. Shallow moralizers now, as in the days when the Pyramids were not, draw two conclusions from such melancholy exhibitions of human weakness. “Trust no man lest he prove a thief,” and “honesty is the best policy,” the last is the expression of sound philosophy. The first is the utterances of moral atheism, It embodies skepticism of the existence of honesty and fidelity. It assures that men are only conventionally honest, and that they only need opportunity to become thieves. Not a trace of this degrading } philosophy can be found in the teachings of Jesus. That honesty is the best policy is broadly implied in the parable of the Prodigal Son, but in every lesson the Nazarene taught there runs a large and generous faith in human nature. Herbert Spencer, who believed the human conscience to be the product of evolution—the development of an ethical principle necessary to the mental and material growth of the race—repelled with scorn the ignoble suggestion that mankind have been cheating themselves for thousands of years with a fictitious virtue. If the material philosopher held to the idea that honesty is a positive virtue evolved from the intellectual consciousness of man, how little can those _who believe that God gave man conscience as a guide and mentor hold to the doctrine that conscience ceases to speak when temptation and opportunity presents themselves in company ? Man if not quite so bad as that. ~ Personal Noles. G. B. Stevens and Frank Edwards are down from the Delhi mine taking in the sights. , Mrs, F.
