Luxury and Misery-The sarsoris NuP-
tiaIs in the Light of Christianity.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
81 am the light, the truth and the way" This
ana similar expressions are handed down TO Us,
as coming from the lips OF the most righteous and
holy type OF humanity. In what way was He the
light, or in what manner was He the truth ana the
way Let us see what deductions may be derived
from these motto words as held in comparison
with his daily practice, and in what way we can
be benefited by their acceptance
Christ was personation OF principles, as eser
nal and lnneXibe in their outvorkings as God
himself. Herein is found the key OF the mystery.
Christ was an advocate OF humanity. He lived for
the good OF all men, knowing that no part or por-
ton could by any possible means or methods cut
their interest asunder from the rest and ultl-
mately prosper. None OF Gods blessings bestow
their null intention or fruit without full and
grand equalization. This great Man OF all
men shared AL things in common. He Kept
nothing for Himself, thereby following out
the grand perfected law OF Communism.
This law was the light He presented How many
OF His protested followers are living in this light
and thereby showing Its glorious CLEAN to others
Undoubtedly many, in quiet places, unknown TO
the world. But our representative people, who
sit in the uppermost seats in the synagogue and
dress in purple and fine linen what are their pre-
cepts and examples would to God that, as
write, could dip my pen in the blood that flowed
from Calvary's cross, that, If possible, newer in
spratlon of the teachings OF that life might be felt.
