We need a new heuvenund a. new earth most of all because so many men by hatred and untruthfuluess, as well he by dishonesty and uncleanness, turn earth from a. possible heaven into an anticipated hell. Oi all evil lives, the most evil is that of those who psndertothe calumuy, the envy, and the malice which are the most snakedike of human infirmities. IknOw that the world, like the fashionable world and the vulgar world, does not think so. Alike in the foul slum und'the luxurious drawing-room, there are many men who think that malice is rather amusing, and who take lies for Wit. 8 Other vices ally. men to brutes ;but of malevolent falsehood men has the sad and degrading monopoly. It is impossible to estimate the extent to which had men and bad women for their own interests, add to the misery of life by the venom of unbridled malignity. But enongh of this, also. Earth would be a. comparative Paradise if men loved each other as they envy and hate and belie each other. Even the sphere of roll ion rings with the bitterness of unscrupu ous partisans. “ She thought to herself,”writes a. modern novelist, “ how delightful it would be to live in a. house where everybody un- derstood and loved and helped everybody else. She did not know that her wish was just for the kin dam of heaven.” Now, I sppea to every one among you all to tell me whether you do not clear- ly see that life would‘be utterly difl‘erent if men would make it different, unutterably more blessed if men sought or cared for the elements of true blesseduess. Oh, that men would be‘bu’t true men, ’aud that women would be the holy and gmciousthings which God meant them to be !
