It rains on the just and on the unjust. The showers that make the desired crops grow, also make the weeds grow. There is a suggestion in this as to what constitutes right and wrong. The stronger plants outgrow the weaker, and if our farms are filled with rank week seed, it is but natural that the better we make conditions for growing of crops, the better will the weeds grow. Looking into the lives of men, we see a striking analogy to farm crops, the results in both instan ces depending on the seed. If in our lives the weed seed3 are the stronger, the very civiliza tion that favors the growth of the gocd will only hasten the bad. because the greater a bad man s mteligence, the greater his power for evil.
