the world and we will find,
that whilst "they are distinct like the
waves, they are one like the sea-" Our
must be fragmentary when
it has SO many crevices at which up
heavals can take place. In connection
with all these questions some are in the
habit of speaking of "a party of discon-
tent, rs if this feeling was merely the
outcropping of the disposition to grum-
bic. This is not true, and it would be
better to call it 1.-THE party of unrest: !"
whose members, feeling IL e distress of
their conditions, are resolved, by all
just and honorable means, to redress
them. AS long as the world stands,
luxury, extravaganza and splendor will
iostle rags and wretchedness, and the
underlings will look with envious eyes
on the better lot of the others, and will
be ready to seek what they call redress
by the shortest road. Without unrest
there never can be any progress. For
when people accepts a. condition of af-
fairs as the best possible, they build
towns lest they be scattered abroad but
the spirit Of unrest, looking always for
something better, sets up tents.
Mythology has embalned this idea
in another form in the battle of the
gods and tie giants. The gods, being
monsters of meanness, were, conse-
quently, bHndly conservative, and in
trenched on the assumption of divine
right, relied on brute force. Accord
ingly, when the giants set up an inves-
tigating committee, Jupiter not only
refused to furnish any documents, but
gave the committee thunder, not only
knocking them out of time, but run
ming things into the ground by burying
the giants under mountains. But the
giants were very lieyly corpses. They
were not dead, neither did they sleep,
and their turning over in bed produc-
ed earthquakes. These giants are nu-
merous and vexatiously lively, and an
examination will show that the pins
which hold our civilization together are
nearly all pulled out, and no one can
be safe except he stands from under.
There is one more aspect of the prob
EN- of Money and Labor that remains
to be considered, and that is its relation
to the so-called Church.
The failure or refusal of laboring men
to attend preaching is attracting atten-
oil D,,k = =
by the counter complaint that the rich
do not attend any more than the poor.
1t is alleged that the poor do not at
tend because they have an idea the
Church is run in the interest of the
rich, and are weary of seeing men pos
ing as saints on the first day of the
week and spending the other six
in grinding out the bodies and souls of
their employees. In adopting this ex-
plaEation the Church pleads guilty to
a terrible indictment. But this does
not explain why the rich do not attend
church. A little investigation will
slow that any effort to sever the rela-
tons between the souls of men and
eternal life into the problem of Money
and Labor places the matter on false
ground. In celebrating the truth in
this case We will not lecture on physi-
ology and anatomy, but will hint at
and suggest the unity of all truth by
branches of science.
1t is admitted thatiG Il G human sub

and that all the fluids in the body, ex-
cept the chyle ard lymph, are drawn
from the blood. Healthy blood is COM
posed CT certain substances in fixed
proportions, and the organs of the body
are all entrusted to handle the blood
compounded exactly in those proper
tions. II a foreign substance is intro

if the grievance continue, organic dis

creates men that they may be saved.
Accordingly, the truth of God COM
mends itself to the conscience of men,
and the grace of God offers eternal life
to the fallen.
When that truth and grace are clear
ly and fully set forth they are adapted
to the organic structure of q mans
soul, and men will hear and their souls
will live. But if other matters be of
fered i'll place of that truth and grace |
The soul that is hungering and tn irst-
ing after Righteousness will not receive

defence.
This is only one of many matters
against which we must guard that
hey be not thrust upon US in Connection
with the problem of Money and Labor.
