Mind you, the one thing needfuI is

Of the soul, provided they get your
money. 1t is the root Of all evil

munists have fallen deeply in love
with it. Hence. they rack their
brains to find out the most successful
way of getting it. He says after .
repeated system Of dunning, and after
due notice given, your names are to
be read out publicly as delinquent;
and this is done, not in a spirit Of
love, but in order to impress you with
fear, and thus compel You to comply
with their demands-and this Is set
forth and maintained by one who
claims to follow Jesus! Such lam
guage and conduct come from Ash
dad and not from Canaan. In order
to carry out this programme the eld-
ers and deacons, who are your ser
wants, are transformed into masters,
and, instead of carrying out your

theirs for yours, and to declare to
you what your duty is in the premises.
If this be not lording it over Gods
heritage, then the term is a meaning
less one, and, to cap the climax de-
scending, (for it is certainly a second

harden their hearts, stiffen their
necks and go at the work ''hke little
men, otherwise ''they are not the
stalwart men of God demanded by
the church in this battling life." IT
this state of things does not show
that the church has sold out to the
