infinite Knowledge, goodness, wisdom and power,
ana therefore tho best possible plan for the
c0mplishment OF His purpose
O. Gods plan embraced three kinds Of beings or ex
istences--mcre matter, irrational animals and
rational Ueings, as pure spirits and To each OF
these He gave appropriate laws.
To rational beings God gave His moral law, that,
In obedeucc 10 It, they might honor and gior,fy Him
and obtain everlasting blessedness.
s. God ioresaw and determined TO permit the detcc-
ton Of portion OF moral agents, not because He
chose moral evil Tor It's 0wn sake, but because He
determined to make the means Of the greatest glory

of the factories had to stop. When
the crash came the men stopped
digging ore; they stopped telling
the forest; the fires died out in the
furnaces; the men who had stood in
the glare of the forge were in the
gloom of want. There was no EN-.
ployment for them. The employer
could not sell his product; business
stood still, and then came what We
call the hard times. Our wealth
was a delusion and illusion, and we
simply came back to reality. Too
many men were doing nothing, too
many men were traders, brokers,

were too many producers of the
things no one wished. There needed

owns a brick store on the corner of
Front and Second streets and is
worth q good deal of money. He
wears a diamond ring and has thicker
soles on his shoes than any other
Chinaman in the region. Fong Lee
attended the meeting. Several strong
anti-coolie speeches were made and
