which discarIs aud crippIes these self

the calling into action Of the goodwill
which is equally a part Of human nat

must be the business Of the employer
to promote the welfare Of his work
men. and the Business ofthe workmen
to promote the interest Of their en-
ployer. The organization Of labor
must be such that the one class can
not prosper without directly and per

the other This is the true remedy
for the evils Of which the socialists
complain. The reform needed IS not
the destruction but the Chrstianizat-

most general mistake people make is con-
cerning small fires They believe that a
heavy stream Of water is turned upon the

raging fire that has more than gained con

case aud the false idea is due to the want
of know ledge aS TO the proper equipment
