In point of fact, there was as great |

mendation or condemnation ought surely to lfollow. That there should be such a dis- ] position to abet villainy, as this case has discovered, is Jamentable, and as, you say, the public will not be satisfied until the insult offered to our outraged moral feel- ings is properly atoned for. If perjury in its most figrant form is to go unpunished we may shortly look forthe subversion of all moral order.

And how is it to be expected that solemn oaths will be respected when so much lati- {tude and countenance is given in the com- munity to those who openly blaspheme the holy name of God, and ridicule religion and morality in the most shocking manner. The eternal laws of justice are the basis of all civil law; andan unbeliever, if he be consistent, would ignore both the law and the law-giver! How, I ask, can those who de not believe in God call Him to witness that they tell the truth, “tthe whole truth, and nothing but the truth” on the witness stand ? The open preaching of unbelief is becoming terribly common. You hear it on all sides, but especially is it preached since the abatement of the _spiritualistic craze by certain parties in authority on some of our public trains, whose blasphemy shocks anyone within earshot. The young and unwary are sadly contaminated by these emissaries of Satan, who have recently become agres- sive beyond all decency, and whose moral-

ity has certainly not improved under the new system of ethics. It has long been 2a matter of surprise

to me that the railway authorities have not silenced or dismissed some of these werthies who are devoting every spare moment to the active propagation of tenets calculated to bring untold misery upon the state. Even if they were men of brain or educa- tion they should not thus wantonly insu’t the public, and outrage their sacred con- victions. They must remember that they 'are public servants, fed by the public, and

| bound to respect the feelings of the public. | We are all shocked, and justly so, at the

loose evidence given on oath in Sutherland- Weeks case; but if public countenance be not withdrawn from such propagandists as

| these, we may look for cases in the near

future to which this cannot hold a candle, TRAVELLER. O'Leary, April 10, 1890.

> The Public Merals.

Srr,—One would think, to read the ar- | ticle under the above heading in yesterday’s | Island Guardian, that the editor conceived of himself as placed, not only in the |responsible position of a public teacher,

but also in that of sin-hearer for the community. His opening sen- tence is as follows: ‘‘We believe we

speak the minds of the _ better-thinking people in the city and province when we say that the present moral condition of affairs, as brought before ws during the last few weeks, causes us to hang our heads for very shame.” The italics are mine.

Now, sir, if it be not sacrilege to refer in such terms to the unseen oracle who sits veiled behind the mysterious ‘*we,” I would suggest that, although the first personal pronoun, plural number, is a very con- venient little word, it is the custom, in yood editorials,to use it sparingly; and when it comes in six times in the first instance, aud ne less than forty-eight times in a leader of a column and a half the patient reader has a right to feel injured.

The editor evidently had on hig green spectacles when he wrote these lugubrious paragraphs ; and the sins and short-comings of his neighbors are, accordingly, shown up ina most touching style. He classifies them under five heads and, taking these as his text, preaches a little sermon on morals. The two things over which he seems most to gloat (for a great show of lamentation is sumetimes very much like a kind of rejuic- ing) are the accusations brought against Mis. Weeks for poisoning, and the cloud thrown upon Mr. Sutherland’s chara>ter by his keeping company with her.

After dilating to his satisfaction on these interesting topics, the writer goes on to complain of the perjury which took place at the Weeks trial. Is it not a little incon- sistent to condemn the immorality disclos- ed by the evidence of certain witnesses, and then turn and accuse those same wit- nesses of false swearing throughout ? Take your choice of the unsavory morsels, for logic will not permit you to enjoy them both.

In justice, I say, let the credibility of the witnesses be first passed on by a jury be- fore their evidence is taken as conclusive proof of either immorality or crime in others.

Thereis wickednessenough. Let usnot add to it injustice in taking away anyone’s char- acter except on proof positive and unim- peached, and not fly too soon to the _ belief that honor and faith are no more to be found among men; but rather put down a great deal of theevil we hear spoken of where it properly belongs—to the evil imaginations of the scandal-mongers who retail it.

Prof. J. G. Schurman, D. Se. of Cornell Un- iversity delivered the weekly lectures this year at the Theological Seminary, Andover, Mass., his subject being ‘‘Belief in God; Its sources and grounds.” A Joliet, Lil, despatch of the 7th inst. says: Dr, Edward Whitman, against whom charges have been found in Charlottetown, P. E. I., is the pastor of the First Baptist Church in this city. <A short time ago he was accused of undue famili+rity with a servant in the em- ploy of D. M. Stiles, with whom he boarded, but his congregation exhonerated him. Dr. Whitman said that the animus of Stiles ac- tien lay in the fact that he would not contin- ue to board in the Stilesfamily. Stiles had two of the deacons at his back—E. Buch and G. L. Vance Stiles, itis alleged, found a ready backer in Deacon Vance tor the reason that Dr Whitman had been provided by the deacon with a boarding place at his sister-in- laws’s, Mrs. Ford, a widow, which place, it is alleged, he had to leave on the advice of parishioners, because it might cause talk.

Her love was a fancy “here his were a flame,

And it went as easily as it ‘came. :

But his was a love that loved once and for- ever,

That from her he loved time and death could not sever,

The fickle maiden another woos,

And stands ere long in the dead man’s shves, As he supposes. The day is set;

A merry party of guests are met;

The parson is ready to make them one, When the door of the room is open thrown, And breaks in upon the marriage scene

He who so soon had forgotten been.

A glance was all that was needed to show The downfall of all his hopes; the blow Blinded him; into the night he fled,

And into the forest.

They found him dead, After days of searching, beside the stream That bears to this day the dead man’s name, And buried him there: more sweet his rest Than that in his fickle sweetheart’s breast,
