Galatians, ill., 2S-There is neither Jew nor Greek.

United States, this the nineteenth century of the
Christian era. our American civilization. with its

human freedom. We have caste, intolerance and
bgotry. Gods lesson needs to be given again. 1t is
admitted that all men equality before God
Yet how do we treat the Indian, the Chinaman and
the negro? God is respecter of persons. Our
