The Oakland Tribune says:—
"Nothing is too sacred for the corrupt hands of public thieves in this age of irreverence and low-grade morals. What the next generation will be, with the loose and irreligious training of the young, is a subject sad to contemplate." A secular paper may talk in that manner, and no one will find any fault; but let a religious paper quote the third chapter of Second Timothy: "In the last days perilous times shall come; because men shall be lovers of their own selves;" and "evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse," and apply it to the present generation, and these same secular papers will cry out "fanaticism." Men are already "despisers of those that are good;" and if the earth were allowed to stand in its present condition for another generation, good men, if any existed, would not be tolerated by the men of that generation. "But the end of all things is at hand."
