between the parlor and the kitenenf Then
there Is something wrong, either in the |
parlor or the kitchen, perhaps in both.

The great want of the world today is the !
fulfllment of this Christlike injunction,
that which he promulgated in his sermon |
Olivetic All the political economists I'M
der the archivOlt of the heavens in conyen- |
ton for thousand years cannot settle this
controversy between monopoly and hard
work, between capital aud labor. During
the Revolutionary war there was heavy
piece OF timber to be lifted, perhaps for
some fortress, and corporal was oversee
ing the work, and he was giving commands
to some soldiers as they lifted: "Heaye
away, therel 20 heayep Well, the timber
was too heavy; they could not get 1t up.
There was a gentleman riding by on
horse, and he stopped and said to this cor
poral "Why don't you help them lifts
That timber Is too heavy for them to lift"
''No,n he said, II won't; am corporal"
The gentleman got off his horse and came
up to the place. "Now," he said to the
soldiers, "all together-Ayo heavel' 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
misunderstanding" 1t was Washington
Now, that is about all the gospel 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; .,s4.a}. ..4..
"Oh," says some wiseacre, talk rs you
win, the law of demand and supply will
regulate these things until the end OF
time" No, it will not, unless God dies
and the batteries of the 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 are9 They have
gone into partnership, and they propose to
swindle this earth and are swindling 1t.
You are drowning. Supply and Demand
stand on the 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 wo ask you for getting you to shore,
| or 90 to the bottoml" If you can borrow
g, 900 you can keep from failing In BUSH
ness. Supply and Demand say: SNOW, you
pay us exorbitant usury or you go into
| banl1ruptcyl" This robber firm of Supply
and Demand say to you: "The crops are
short. We bought up all the wheat and ii
Is in our bin, Now, you pay our price or
starveW 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 redeem 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
love, the law of cooperation, the law OF
kindness, the law of sympathy, the law OF
Christ. a5. 1909 s4l.s,

Have YOU no idea of the coming Of such
a timer Then you do not believe the Bible

subject and as the ages roll on the time
