Rev. M X Fallon lectured on The
Organic Combination of Men, Its Effects
and Advantages" The idea of combina-
tion, he said, did not originate with man
but men from the earliest days had been
combining for material protection. The
AssYrian, Bahylonian, Greek ard Roman
empires were merely the combination OF
men for self-protection, but when this
combination ceased to serve that purpose
revolution resulted, and the combination
was overthrown. Revolution was virtue
while rebellion was sin. The people of
England were not in rebellion when thev
compelled King John in 1915 to grant his
subjects the Magma Charter 1t was revo.
luton, not rebellion. when their ances.
tcrs threw overheard in Boston harbor
English taxed tea.
Mems consciences seldom erred, and as
rule always enabled them to know
when patience ceased to be virtue. and
revolution necessity. But it was when
men superseded their conscience, that an
outside power was necessary to be called
into play, No one should bllndly serve
an unknown master, or support prin.

not for the overthrow of society, but for
mutual benefit and protection, and guided
by reason and understanding, the result
could not be otherwise than beneficial to
themselves, to the community and man.
