earth as it is in heaven" Since then
rented to tenants, that being the method
adopted in heaven, presuming of course
that prayer from millions of lips was
answered.
This cubic city then will be inhabited
bv tenants, and we at once begin to
pity the inside dwellers. A skvlight
could not penetrate the gloom $pr over
half a mile, and fresh air would be un-
known beyond 100 feet. 1t cannot be
supposed that the celestial landlords
will build air passages throu h the i'm
mense mass at proper intervals, if they
are like the "powers that be-" ordained
on the earth MOnOpolists will live in
the corner apartments with light on
three sides. Their followers aud favor
ties will have the surface rooms, from
which agents will dive down to collect
rents. How dark and damp will be the
rooms all over the ground floor Or,
could the whole citv be tilted up on one
corner, giving every surface light and
air? But that would give to every floor
an inconvenient slant. Yet this would
be of no importance If the city is spirit
ual exempt from the influence of grayi-
tation. All the people that ever lived
or ever will live, will make even such a
large structure too crowded for comfort.
Before We embrace Messianism, it
were well to examine all these points ;
and if they prove as | have pictured, we
should oppose with all our strength, en-
durance and influence, such an made
Quate provision for our future. ZENo.

land has been owned by landlords and
and was nominated to catch the labor
vote, by those crafty democratic politi-
clans, who could find no man in their
own field, without making raid on the
pulpit of the First Congregational
church, that could make the race better
than Brother Joe Murray, of Larimer
county
But it would never do for a great party,
so pure as the democratic party of this
city, to turn their back upon the saloon
element in politics. Could these few K.
of L. meu have seen the end from the
beginning, or the use to which this res.
olution was put in the after part of the
day, they would scorned to have Joined
hands with these false accusers of an
absent officer and brother, and thus
stab him in the house of his friends, an
act which no one but coward or an as
sassin wonld attempt TO perform.
Ihave not one unkind word to say
in reference to the very able minister
who was thus nominated but let minis
ters do well their own part of the work
and educate their people. If this had
been done in the past, there would have
been no need now to call upon tho pas
tor to help run down that dangerous
animal-monopoly-let loose by the pol
iticians to prey upon the people and
evolve the tramp.
No; do your own duties as pastors
and give the workers who are accus
toned to dangerous duties the chance,
and they will bind the monster securely
in chains aud cast him into the bottom
less pit and set seal upon him 80 that
he 90 not out to deceive any more. The
ministerial conscience may be too ten
der with him when he begins to below,
as he certainly will when the time
comes.
Now, workingmen, you of all parties,
rally round your true and tried brother
and show these rotten politicians hat
you have more self respect than to be
made the tool of such tricksters who are
always ready to betray you for less than
thirty pieces of silver-'for wherever
the carcass is there will the eagles be
gathered together" g
Brother Murray, be man and fight it
out on that line if it takes all winter,
and your friends will respect YOU, and if
on the losing side you will have the sat-
isfaCtlon of knowing that virtue is always
with the minority. Uutil politician are
taught to believe by experience that
worklngmen have rights that they are
bound to respect, principle will be sub

DEDICATED TO MEsSIAEs.
Exactly 6,24O years before the birth of
Adam, Moreesa and Marina were one
evening sitting on their spiritual thrones
fulfilling their duties as Conscious
Center of the Universe. Mirosa, the
Sheriff, was overseeing the planting of
Messlanism on the planet of those sys-
TENS known to us as Ursa Major. He
Serafas who were on the Job and his
continued presence was deemed neces-
sary. His latest instructions were to
contract for a lot Of foreign Kerubas and
Melakas if the Serafas gave any more
trouble
Moressa was smoking a 25-cent Ha-
vana in a thoughtful mood.
Marina" said he.
"Well, my d ar" replied his eternal
spouse, laying aside her crochet work.
"If We are the Conscious Center, where
is the outside; the periphery, the rind,
or the surface ?"
Il never saw any, admitted Marina.
Her lord and master continued: IF
there is an edge somewhere, what Va
cancy ofprofound Nothing must spread
out beyond! Is the edge ragged one =?
Does 1t stop of suddenly; or dwindle
out?"
"Chestnuts," said Marina, taking up
her work again. MoresSa continued his
meditstion.
Speaking of Nothingness. said
Marina presently. Have you observed
rather extensive vaclitv Just beyond
the last subjugated Nebula?"
"No; but noticed things were wab-
bling some. We will take that part of
the Milky Way which was reported as
being soured aud make a lot Of worlds.
You are aware that | cannot create any

for nothing else. But where will you
get souls enough for this new creation ?"
Il Iexpect volunteers. Since the decay
of this Milky Way, countless hordes of
orphaned spirits are anderlng about
homeless and wretched. They had a
tough time for many ages"
Then they are ruled by the base of

Messahs will 60 with the colony and
help them out. He can let the animal
faculties rule for 5000 years, which will
lead hem to destroy one another. Then
he can offer them the New Jerusalem
outfit which l will explain fully before
he leaves"
And it was 80. The worlds were built
and named the Solar System. At the
close of the fifty ninth century the New
Jerusalem was founded. 1t has been
described bya Mr.. St. John, local
writer of some note, about the fortieth
century in pamphlet which he was
pleased to call Revelations" chlpter q
And the city lieth four square, and the
length is as large as the breadth; and he
measured the city with the reed 1900
furlongs. The length and breadth and
the height of it are equal"

right to land, and one nation, divided
the land every fifty years to prevent mo-
