England against Lambeth Palace, that
it was exclusive, and that charge de-
monstrated tho sublime fact that to the

and forty croquet companies and on

poor people recline on the grass, walk
through the paths and sit under the
trees. That is Gospel--Gospel on the
wing, Gospel out-of-doors worth just as
much as indoors. That time Is going

That is only hint OF what Is going

Henry Clay dismounted from the stage
and went out on rock at the very verge
Of the cliff, and he stood there with his
cloak wrapped about him and he seemed

| And now / have two words, one to
capitalists and the other to laboring
men.
To capitalists: Be your own exeeu-
tors. Make investments for eternity.
DO not be like some capitalists know,
who walk around among their employees
with supercilious air, or drive up to
the factory in manner which seems to
indicate they are the autocrat of the
universe, with the sun and the moon in
their vest pockets chiefly anxious when
they go among laboring men not to be
touched by the greasy or smirched hand
and have their broadcloth injured. Be
a Christian employer. Remember
those who are under your charge,
are bone of your bone and flesh
of your flesh, that Jesus Christ died
for them and that they are inn
mortal. Divide up your estates, or por-
tions of them, for the relief of the
world. before you leave ii. Do not go
out of the world like that man who died
eight or ten years ago, leaving in his
