tories, banking houses, storehouses and
costly enterprises where this Christlike in
junction of my text is fully kept and you
could no more get the employer 10 practice
an injustice upon his men. or the men to
conspire against the employer, than you
could get your right hand and your left
hand, your right eye and your left eye, your
right ear and your left ear. into physiolog-
ical antagonism. Now, where is this TO be-
ginl In our homes, in our stores, on our
farms-not waiting for other people to do
their duty. Is there a divergence now be-
tween the parlor and the kitchena Then
there is something wrong, either in the par
lor or the kitchen, perhaps in both. Are
the clerks in your store irate against
the firms Then there is something
wrong, either behind the counter or
in the private Office, or perhaps in both,
The great want of the world to-day is the
fulfillment of this Christ-like injunction,
that which he promulgated in his sermon
Olivetic. All the political economists under
for thousand years cannot settle this con-
troversy between monopoly and hard work,
between capital and labor. During the
revolutionary war there was heavy piece
of timber to be lifted. perhaps for some for
tress, and a corporal was overseeing the
work, and he was giving commands to some
soldiers as they lifted: "Heave away. there! !
yo heaveIn Well, the timber was too heavy !;
they could not get it up. There was gen.
tleman riding by on horse, and he stopped
and said to this corporal: "Why don't
you help them liftl That timber is too
heavy for them to lift.n "No,n he said, "I
won't; l am a corporal" The gentleman
got off his horse and came up to the place.
"Now," he said to the soldiers, ''all to-
gether-yo heaveln and the timber went to
its place. Now" said the gentleman to
the corporal, "when you have a piece of
timber too heavy for the men to lift, and
you want help, you send to your conn
mander-in-chief." 1t was Washington !
Now, that is about all the gospel l know
the gospel of giving somebody lift, lift
out of darkness, lift out Of earth into
heaven. That is the gospel Of helping
somebody else to lift.
"Oh,n says some wiseacre, "talk as You
will, the law of demand and supply will
regulate these things until the end of time" !"
No, it will not unless God dies and the bat
teries of judgment day are spiked, and
Pluto and Proserpine, king and queen of
the Internal regions, take full possession of
this world. Do you know who Supply and
Demand ares They have gone into part
nership and they propose to swindle this
earth, aud are swindling it. You
are drowning. Supply and Demand
stand on tine shore, one on one side, the
other on the other side, Of the life-boat, and
they cry out to you: "Now, you pay US
what we ask you for getting you to shore.
or go to the bottomln If you can borrow
$1,000 you can keep from failing in busi-
ness. Supply and Demand say: SNOW,
you pay US exorbitant usury, or you go
into bankruptcy" This robber-firm of
Supply and Demand say to you; "The crops
are short. We bought up all the wheat,
and it is in our bin. Now, you pay our
price, or starvep That is your magnificent
law of supply and demand.
Supply and demand own the largest mill
on earth, and all the rivers roll over their
wheel, and into their hopper they put all
the men, women and children they can
shovel out of the centuries, and the blood
and the bones redden the valley while the
mill grinds That diabolic law of supply
and demand will yet have TO stand aside,
and instead thereof will come the law of
kindness, the law of sympathy, the law of
Christ.
Have youlno idea of the co ming of such a
time? Then you do not believe the Bible.
All the Bible is full of promises on this SUBJ
ject, and as the ages roll on the time will
come when men of fortune will be giving
larger sums to humanitarian and evangel-
istic purposes, and there will be more James
Lenoxes and Peter Coopers and William Z.

time comes there will be more parks, more
picture galleries. more gardens thrown open
for the holiday people and the working
classes.
| was reading some time ago In regard to
charge that had been made in England
against Lambeth Palace, that it was ex-
elusive; and that charge demonstrated the
sublime fact that to the grounds of that
wealthy estate eight hundred poor families
had free passes, and forty croquet COM
panies, and on the halliday holidays four
thousand poor people reclino ON the grass,
walk through the paths aud sit under the
trees. This is gospel-gospel on the wing,
gospel out OF doors worth just as much as
in doors. That time is going to come
That is only hint of what is going to be-
The time is going to come when, if you have
anything IN your house worth looking at
pictures. pieces Of sculpture-you are going
to invite me to come and see IL; you are
going to invite my friends to come and see
it, and you will say, ''See what have been
blessed with God has given me this, and,
SO far as enjoying it, it is yours also." That
is gospel.

out on rock at the very verge of cliff,
