The matter of reward is capable of being applied to this purpose
in either or both of two ways modes. 1. Mode the first. To each individual,
in relation to whom it is your desire that the belief
in question should be possessed, offer and give so much money,
say the shilling namely immediately upon and after his pronouncing
or signing a declaration to the effect required: call
this the direct mode the mode by hiring believers. 2. Mode the second. To certain individuals,
to the purpose of causing that same belief to be entertained or professed,
pay at stated periods so much money, on their entering into
an engagement to use endeavours at stated times stated or not
stated, in places appointed or not appointed, to cause by means
of persuasion argument others to entertain or profess a belief to the effect
required. Call this the indirect mode or mode by hiring teachers.
This too is subornation of insincerity and mendacity.

If the direct mode of procuring profession of belief is bad, that indirect
mode is much worse. By In the direct mode the only part
of the mental frame vitiated and corrupted is the moral part: in this
indirect mode the moral part is much more thoroughly vitiated
and corrupted, and the intellectual part is vitiated likewise. to The
moral part is more thoroughly vitiated. In the direct mode, the far
word formulary of falshood are is pronounced or signed, and the next moment
the falshood is forgotten has fled out of the mind. In the indirect mode,
the individual hired to teach must if he earns his hire be continually
brooding over that whatever the falshood he has committed: perpetually engaged
in the endeavour to cause others to believe to be true that which he
himself does not believe to be true and believes to be false: continually
occupied in the endeavour to deceive. To the character of
liar for hire, he adds the character of deceiver for hire – or at least would-be
deceiver for hire.(a)
Note (a)
(a) Once upon a time, in
Westminster Hall, a
man whose object was
to be hired to give false
testimony, used (says a
current story) to walk make
known his purpose by
walking to and fro with
a stone in his shoe. In
an established Church, the habit sacredness of a priest is the stone in the shoe.

In this case, in so far as his consciousness of the falshood of the
belief to advocates extends, he is in the his case is the same with that of the hireling
advocate – the professional lawyer in the situation of advocate. The
advocate is now for a great part of his life profession to be on the right side: on
the average about half. Not so the priest, to him it may happen not to have
been for any one moment of his professional life on any other than the wrong side. This is where by each of two sets of practice, priests of the Christian Religion and priests of the Mahomedan for example is said it⊞ ⊞ is universally and constantly said of others.
