Do you remember that over a year

lion and he would become tamee II
preached this doctrine to you then in
the Irish National Land League in
Denver, and so long as you kept the "No
Rent" banner unfurled l gave my mite
and voice to aid you, but when you
ft1rled it and began to pay rent, with
drew. 1t takes long time to learn Gods
law of exact and equal justice to all, but
when once properly learned, the effect
will be that righteousness and peace
will fill the earth.
The whole system of interest and
profit must give way, with corners on
our victuals, wheat, -four, potatoes, pork
and corn, to system regulated by law,
such as you will find in Deuteronomy
something like the following: "If thy
brother is poor and fallen in decay, thou
shalt not be to him an usurer; thou
shalt not take usury of him of victuals
or clothes or anything that is given out
upon usury." Oh. how can unholy, un-
Cody men expect mercy when the time
comes for Just reward that all must re-
ceive for the things done in the body,
whether good or evil,
Brothers, read carefully the twenty
sixth chapter of Matthew, where there
has been a separation Of sheep and goats.
Here the son of man, the antitypical
Christ las Sister Munger truly represents
the agonized laboring class will judge
the world. They are beginning already
that Judgment, and the wheat and tares,
sheep and goats, the lion and lamb, the
sinner and righteous figures of
speech, but used to represent the two
classes that are so divided that there has
become an impossible gulf between
them. And soon the Lord will say to
those on his right hand yor position of
honor, Come and inherit the kingdom
prepared for YOU from the foundations of
the world"
Yes, at tie foundation OF the world by
Almighty God there was an equal dis
tribution of natural blessings, but sim
ners and un Cody men have sought
many inventions to get the wealth Of
the world into their hands. They have
formed land companies and syndicates
and coal companies, and oil m0nopOlies,
and railroad monopolies, and they have
bought out congresses, state legislatures
and governors, and now the gloriied
Son of God, made perfect through suf-
fering, understands perfectly Gods
law, through the Holy Ghost. And he
will say to those on his left hand, de
part from me We cursed into everlasting
fire, prepared for the devil and his
angels for | was anhungered and ye
gave me no meat, thirsty and We gave me
no drink, stranger and We took me not
in, sick and in prison and ye visited

Think Of Erin's starving, famishing
sons Of toll, ye goats now on the left
hand, and get ready for just retribu-
ton. 1t is coming. God law has been
written in our hearts and minds, and l
tell you, you had better begin to make
amends while it is yet called today; and
take the Apostle Pauls advice-Let him
that has stolen, steal no more, but labor
with his own hands and earn all honest
living.
The toiling millions are being in
structed, and revolutions never 60 back
ward The tide of public opinion may
be stayed for little, by the severe pen
alties for the violation of man-made
laws, but in the end Gods just laws will
