Prejudice has been the cause of more evil in the world than most any other human fraility: and when we examine the nature of it we shall be surprised to see the multiplicity of evils that flow from it. Prejudice never leads to good  it has always a bad tendency  It opposes all reason and all argument  It is rash and headstrong and in its mad carreer bears down without discrimination all that opposes it whether good or bad - It often usurps the seal of justice and sentences the innocent and good to the most ignominous punishment  

How often do we meet with it in parents- they prohibit their children from forming connections in marriage with those of their choice. because perhaps they are not rich or because their ancestry [[strikethrough]] as not [[/strikethrough]] has not been sufficiently respectable or may be because they ar of a different religion or [[strikethrough]] dissagree [[/strikethrough]] do not agree with them in pollitics and in many instances by interfereing in these matters they render their children unhappy forever after. 

But prejudice is most to be dreaded when it appears in religion and pollitics - how many have been tortured and [[strikethrough]] slain [[/strikethrough]] put to death for nothing more than believing practicing some certain mode of religion -
