The People Will Demonstrate That It IL

When we abolish the custom house.
writes Mary M. Clardy in the Ma

the motives for war will be set aside
and women will no longer rear their
sons to be slain.
When the people own and manage
the highways Of commerce and travel
and use their own telegraph lines
knowledge will become universal
and in two generations the dividing
line between the upper and lower
classes will fade away.
When it is believed that the land
belongs to the people. then will every
child inherit a home and good train
ing.
Thus it is that the interests of all
nations tribes and tongues. are carried
in the wagon of the Peoples party.
The material globe is hitched by
attraction to the great central sun.
and in its whirling path. brings forth
day and night and all the glory of
the seasons.
draw our great wagon-load of human
souls? What great central truth
shall seize our Peoples party and send
it whirling on a mission of wisdom.
glory and power for the lifting up of
the whole people?
To find this great central truth,
open your bible. look at Genesis j. &c.
81, %. And God said, Let us make
man in our own image and likeness;
and let them have dominion over all
the earth"
This is the title deed OF the People s
party to all the earth"
Read the eighth Psalm, verses 5
and 6. For thou hast made him
(man) little lower than the angels,
and hast crowned him with glory and
honor. Thou madest him to have
dominion over the works of Thy hands.
Thou hast put all things under his
feet
This is another truth with which to
hitch the Peoples party to light,
warmth and power
Turn to Matthew XIV 81, 46.
where Christ lectures ION the distri-
button of wealth and social courtesies
as the test of sovereignty
The Peoples party platform is out
lined there. To the friends of the
poor: the sick, the prisoner and the
stranger is the invitation given.
Come We. blessed of my Father
inherit the kingdom prepared for you,
from the foundation of the world. %
Genesis j. 26.
Again; slavery of mind is forbidden
in Matthew xiii g. 10. IL. BE not
We called rabbi. for one is your mas
ter (teacher) Christ and all We are
brethren" The Peoples party can
exist without its leaders. The peo-
pie are taught of God.
Another good truth bitches us to
hope and courage. See Revelations
" g. 10. And they sang a new song
saying: Thou art worthy to take
the book and open the seals thereof,
for Thou vast slain and hast redeemed
us to God by thy blood out of every
kindred and tongue and people and
tribe. and hast made us. unto God.
kings and priests. and we shall reign
upon the earth"
Here is pictured the answer to the
prayer Thy kingdom come" and
all the millions of honest people on
the earth. are gathered at the right
hand of Power. They are lifted up
to understand the golden rule and to
apply it to national and information al
law. Surely this lofty sense of Justice
is another cord of Divine truth which
holds the wagon of the Peoples party
with all it's load of blessed purposes
for the human race.
This wagon has been hitched to the
Star OF Bethlehem since the creation
of man. The Star of Bethlehem arose
above the stable, and guided the wise
men to find king in manger.
The carpenter of Nazareth has
written his law of love in the hearts of
honest millions. Thus. He is the
Prince of the Kings of the earth. -
Revelations l. 5. second clause.
The bible is a political book. It
records wonderful scenes in the his.
tory Of nations. The human race has
reached its majority. It will soon as
cend the throne of empire. The bal
lot includes legislative, judicial and
executive power. The ballot is the
scepter Of the citizen. When our ma
ton is well-informed the ballot will
shield all weak and helpless human
ity and it will be terror to tyrants.
The ballot was bought for us with
the precious blood of our forefathers.
Let the Peoples party regard it as
God-given. to make them as kings
upon God 8 earth.
Hitch your. wagon to the shining
truth. that God made man in his own
image to have dominion over all the
earth.
