If you choose to obey your Bibles, you will never care who attacks them Itis just because you never fulfilla single, downright precept of the book that yon are so careful of its credit. The Bible tells you to dress plainly, and you are mad for finery, the Bible tells you to have pity on the poor, and you crush them under your carriage wheels the Bible tells you todo judgment and justice, and you do not know nor caret know s+ much as what the Bible-word justice means.” &7 The St. Louis ra wail. <W er cities are sup selves with pure water, the peop are culping down such quantities of mud that halt of them are corpuient with n¢-bOTS im their stomachs.
