The spirit of compromise is illustrated by one of Mr. Lawson's recent articles. He tells us that when he hoped to save his Boston gas companies he yoked up with Mr. Whitney, a notorious corruptor of legislators. Mr. Lawson felt that Mr. Whitney's methods were carrying matters altogether too far, and he protested. He was told to attend to his business and the others would to theirs. To this Mr. Lawson, on the ground of expediency, yielded, and so compromised righteousness. Whitney's business was Lawson's business. Partners in the business, they were partners in the crime. If we tie ourselves up to a wicked concern, if we enter into partnership with men who do wickedly the business from which we draw mutual profit, we are mutually guilty of all the wrong wrought. God's call is, "Come out from among them, and be separate."
