Show THE DIRT WAS CONGEALED. i A fellow who wore a white shirt and spotlessly white collar, and made, an outward show of cleanliness, was struck by an automobile automo-bile and a doctor was summoned. The man was injured and had to be stripped. His underclothes were filthy and his skin was crusted with an accumulation of impurities. "My man," said the doctor, "you must be washed before I can proceed to bind your wounds. Outwardly you are immaculate, inwardly you are dirty." Turning to his assistants, the doctor said the case reminded him of some politicians and their advocates who, in outward display dis-play are seemingly pure but who inwardly arc corrupt; who pose as one thing, while being the opposite; who preach righteousness, but are the agents of an interdicted traffic and the servants of greed; who are whited sepulchres, filled with dead men's bones, who are false to the public and to themselves. |
