"In the sweat of thy face shalt
thou eat bread"
God told Adam so.
| believe He meant it,
| believe He meant it for Adam S
children that it was intended tor
universal application.
But Vanderbilt, Jay Gould and
some 1000 Others are eating bread
by the sweat of other peoples faces.
We object
God is no respector of persons,
and we are not, SO we propose that
they shall sweat, too, as well as eat.
Rev. j. B. Silcox says: GLOW
crn a man preach the gospel and
not discuss social problems!''
Rev. De La Matyr said, in Girard,
last Fourth of July; "a man is
not fit to preach the gospel who will
dodge around the mighty issues
that so nearly concern our national,
temporal and eternal salvation.
And Just now think of another
text: "He who oppresseth the
poor oppresseth his Maker"
Ought we not, then, cry aloud
and spare not
Great trusts and corporations
have reduced the wages of men and
women to the very "life limit"
while they sit enthroned and pocket
the profits.
And how much have they peck
eted?
Why, sir, they have run this
grinding mill of oppression at such
a rate of speed that in less than
thirty years 81 900 of them own
$4,000, 100000 of the nations
wealth, leaving 81, sol ,26O to divide
the balance between them
And how did they do it?
Let Isaiah tell us.
Turn to the tenth chapter and
read:
"Woe unto them thai decree I'M
righteous DEGREES, and that write
grievousness which they have pre-
scribed-to turn aside the needy
from judgment, and take away the
right from the poor of My people,
All, gentlemen, while you are
after the profits the prophets are after
you.
Yes, sir.
1.-THE rich man is wise in his own
conceit, but the poor man that hath
understanding searcheth him out"
Prov. 2S:ll.
"Woe unto them that decree uE-
righteous DEGREES"
Do you remember the exception
clause" to the greenback?
What kind of decree was that?
Righteous, or unrighteous?

proacheth his Maker. "


"The national bank act"
That took 1900, 900 out of the
peoples pocket the first year, and
how much since, the Lord only
knows.
Took it out Of the producers
pocket the pocket Of the industrial
classes and put it into the money
cnanger's pocket.
Took it from the poor and gave it
to the rich.
"a righteous Decree" was it?
Rev. Silcox says:
"a system that puts the multi
tude at the mercy Of the few is rot
ten at the base"
I'll tell you, the light must be
turned on these social and political
problems.
The press and the pulpit and the
rostrum must ring out, and the de-
cree Of the rich must have search
ing.
They must be held up to the light
of divine truth--God's holy word.
A righteous decree, the national
bank act, is it?
Listen to jeremiah:
"Woe unto him that hath build
ed his house by unrighteousness
and his chambers by wrong"
All /! Jeremiah is after them, too.
Verify, verify, they build their.
houses by 2 per cent. a month, and
furnish their chambers by shaving
notes, and pay for, their rollicking
with interest on their bonds.
They feather their nest with inter
est on their own promises to pay,
and live on the interest of their own
debts.
No wonder every man of God
and every godly man is after them,
And the devil is after them, too.
They are rank extortioners.
How can we hold our peace?
Gentlemen: "Your gold and sill
YER is cankered, and the rust of
them shall be witness against you"
Oh, the Bible is humanity's book.
A blessed book.
1t champions the cause of the
weak against the strong-the poor
against the rich.
Not because they are rich, but
because they are unjust.
1t is against injustice that the
Bible wars.
The Bible is the Peoples party
platform, and let all the oppressed
Jay amen.

Old Nursery Favorites.

There was Tom, the Son of Piper,
Jack Sprat, and Merry King Cole,
And the Three Wise Men Of Gotham,
Who went to sea in bowl;
The woman who rode on a broom
stick,
And swept the cobwebbed sky,
And the boy who sat in a corner,
Eating his Christmas pie.
These were some Of the old favor
ties, but they have been supplanted by
the "Pansy" and "Chatterbox' stories,
Little Lord Fauntleroy' and "Five
Little Peppers" The Old fashion pills
and physics have been superseded
and wisely, too, by Pierce's Purgatlve
Pellets, mild, harmless and effective
cathartic. They are pleasant to 'ake
so gentle in their action that the
most delicate child can take them, yet
so effective that they will cure the
most obstinate cases of constipation,
stomach, liver and bowel troubles
They should be in every nursery. AS
a gentle laxative, only one a dose.

Mrs.. Susan A. Tate.

Although not unexpected, the an
nouncement of the death of Mrs. Su-
san A. Tate at her home on Hepburn
street, last Friday morning, cast a
gloom Of sadness throughout the length
and breadth of the city wherein she
had resided SO many years and was
30 well and favorably known. She was
the widow Of the late veteran editor,
Levi l.. Tate, and it is said that dur
ing that gentleman's long and useful
editorial career, is wife proved great
assistance to him in getting out the
work that engrossed his attention. She
was a lady endowed with kind heart
and a charitable disposition, fact that
many of the poor and needy of the
city can vouch for. No one ever went
to her for assistance that she didn't
grant if it was in her power to do SO.
A gentle mother, kind neighbor and
an upright Christian woman, her de-
mise is greatly lamented. Her age
was 73 years and 8 months. During
her illness, which continued over a
period of two weeks, her sufferings
were of the most intense nature, and
death was looked forward to as a relief
from the pain and distress she bore Sc
patiently. May she rest in peace and
fhally awaken to glorious resurrection
- IViNiamsport San.
Mrs. Tate resided in Bloomsbury
for many years. when her husband was
the editor OF the Democrat, and many
friends still survive, who will hear OF
her death with sorrow.

Identifying Ane,.n. cite. I'm Exyp,

DIR. Naville, the we'll known Egyptian
explorer. the discoverer of Bubastis and
the treasure city of Pithon. has recently
identified other cities in Egypt, more es-
pecially some connected with the exodus
of the Israclites. At the close of June
last he presented the results of his dis
coveries at a meeting of the Victoria In
stitute, in London, presided over by Sir
Gabriel Stokes. ex president of the Royal
Society. DIR. Naville found that the Sue
Goth, spoken of in the Bible, was not a
city, as some have supposed, but a dis
trict, and from a valuable inscription
found at Pithon that the latter became
known to the Greeks as Heroopolis, and
that although now many miles inland it
was once a seaport, the waters of the
Red Sea extending up to its walls, and
merchants ships are described by Strabo
and Pliny as sailing thence to the Arabian
Sea. Through some recently discovered
papyri NJ. Naville found that Baal-
Zephon was neither village or a town.
but shrine Of Baal and noted place Of
pilgrimage The sites of other places dis
covered Were those of Mignole, which in
after days was probably the Serapcum Of
the Greeks. and also Pi Hahiroth. In
the Identification Of the two last places
NJ. Naville was greatly helped by a
papyris. The bearing OF his identifica-
tions is Of no small interest to the stu
dents Of history, both sacred and pro-
fame.

The performance was satisfactory, and
the audience was evidently well pleas

other ways expressed its pleasure and
satisfaction. Mr.. Ellis is practi-
cally the whole show himself He is
charming in his character, his quaint
ways, his pathetic voice and clever
turning of nice points having dimin-
ished none whatever in interest and
