The true friends of God and man are always aiming at forming public sentiment, and correcting public sentiment on all points where it is wrong. They are set, with all their hearts, to search out all the evils in the world, and to reform the world, and drive out iniquity from the earth. The other class are always following public sentiment as it is, and feeling after the course of the tide, to go that way, shrinking back from every thing that goes in the face of public sentiment. And they are ready to brand as imprudent, or rash, any man or any thing, that goes to stem the tide of public sentiment and turn it the other way.
