Each one has it special hohhj to ride, and tlio thought is promulgated, thnt If that special reform is successful, why, the greatest auil best results will follow. The fact Is, a one has said, "All are auoking to lop off some particular fruit from the upas tree of public sin." We would not deprecate any means for en couraging men to live a moral life, but we would havo it understood that all human re forms fall short of the condition of a posi tive cure. There is a permanent, thorough cure f r every evil under the sun. It is th remedy provided in the Uoipel of Christ. " The teachings of the gospel," said th Golden Censor, "are the only solvent for tin vexed questions of the day. Tho only move ment for reform which can lie permanent aud thorough is that which builds on tho rock, Christ Jesus, accepts His tenoning as the only guide und In His strength strives to re place the frightfully unchrh-tian things of the day with things patterned niter His will". This Is an era of uurest. The times ar premonitory. What meu are vululy reaching after is coming.
