Tlie - woe " pronounced is upon tlie intelligent and responsible recipient of the revenue derived therefrom. For the confirmation of tins interpretation I refer jou to the chapter (from the tirst to the seventeenth verses) from which the scripture quoted IS talcen. '■ The only apology I have to offer as a minister of the gospel for treating the subject of the public revenue ot our cDuntry from the sacred desk on God's holy dav IS because I find it in His word. I am to hear the word at "His mouth" and "declare it unto the people, ' so it you have any quarrel with me upon this subject I refer you to my Master from whom 1 have received my commission, and by whom I shall be judged. With Plini you must settle this dispute From the summit of prophetic insight, through the telescope of inspiration, the prophet looked on and down to an age beyond his own. " i^or the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak It shall not he. Though it tarry, wait for it, because it will surely come (vs. H)." Was our time and age in- cluded in that vision ? " Woe to him that buifdeth a town with blood and establisheth a citv bv iniquity " J>oes that woe m any deizree rest unon'all nv «nv ^v L^. towns and cities ? Let us see.

Wonderful economy ! What merchant would long do business upon such a scale ? ]iut suppose we get the six millions clear gain, does that rnake it right ? Does the fact that we inalve money out ol any eiiterpris< make it equitable ? If monoy- makmg is the principle upon which we judL'e of the wisdom and rectitude of a business, then let"^us never be heard blaming the thief, for he makes monev out of stealing. He steals to make m'mey, and s'ucceeds, therelore his occupation must be right. " Oh ! that is a very rough and humiliating comparison." I admit it, yet the only distinction 1 can make is, the one is ille- gahzed robbery, and the oth( r is legalized robbery. How does a thief steal your property ? Bv taking ad- vantage of your weakness, or iLrnorance, oV both. He comes at night when you are asleep. Why ? Because you are ignorant of your surroundings, and therefore of his coming. He steals softly and quietly into your room, gets near to your purse or valuables. His pres- ence arouses you; but that moment he directs his re- volver upon you with the statement, " JStir and you are a dead man." Why don't you resist ? Because that bullet would be your death. It is too strong for you. Your wisdom is to keep quiet. He keeps that bullet directed upon you while he takes your valuables, and moves away out of reach of your recovering him or them. How did he get them ? By taking advantage of your weakness and ignorance. This he did contrary to law.
