lngnan goes In, There was vast differ
ence between the funerals at FOll River,
The owner Of the mill had great funeral.
The poor worlSingman had u small funeral,
The man who came up on his own pompoua
resources was ahu. out of heaven, The
poor man, Trusting In the grace Of the

so you see II N democratic religion, /
do not care how much money you have, you
have not enough money 10 buy your way
through the gate, do not care how poor
You are, u you have the grace Of God In

The employe, The religion Of Christ camo
out TO rectify all tho wrongs Of The world,
aud II will yet settle this question between
labor and capital Just M certainly M You
nt there and / stand here, The hard hand
Of the wheel and the soft hand Of tho
counting-room will clasp each other yet,
They will clnap each other IN congatuO-

glorious morning Of the millennium, The
hard hand will say; ~ plowod tho desert
into gardeni' the soft hand will roply;
VI furnished the seed" The ono hand
will say; ~ tbashod the mountalns;". tho
other hand will say; III paid for tho llail.n
The one hand will say ~ hammered

other hand will answer 81 signed tho
treaty Of peace that made that possible"
Then capital and labor will lio down
together, and the lion and tho lamb,
and the leopard and the kid, and lhoro will
be nothing TO hurt or 10 destroy In all
Gods holy mount, for tho mouth Of tho
Lord hath spoken Il.
