THOUGHTS FOR THE TIMES.
The Meaning of I.iiiekty. Civil liberty means toleration for the opinins of others. It means toleration for the opinions not merely of those with whom the majority agree, but of those also whose words are believed to ho fraught with danger and despair. It means not only that the lieli, the wise, and the good shall speak, but that the despised, the fool, and the poor man shall also be heard. Toleration, lie it said, does not mean agreement. Because we believe that all voices hould be heard, if it does not follow that we are to agree with every folly that is uttered. Toleration means a humility of spirit that is willing to concede that the other fellow may be right. .—“'New York Nation".
