CHRIST taught the fatherhood of God
and the brotherhood of man. When

and race laws will disappear from our
statute books or become dead letters
and monuments of our whilom follies.
The world sometimes takes lurch to
this sheltering lee shore of faith in man
and God. Nothing of late has stirred
up the smouldering fires of human
sympathy until there is a comfortable
glow of pathos, like the tramp circular

Louis and set forth that the present
government of Mexico is friendly dis
posed towards the United States, and
urges of the Importance of reciprocal
trade relations. They ask the tariff
rates be so modified as to permit this

mission be- appointed on the part of
the United States to deal with SINH

us just and equal laws and loose the
letters from industry, prosperity will
smile on all the land, humanity will re-
joice and God viii be gloriffed. The
golden age will return to bless the
world and everyone win sit under his
own vine and fig tree with none to
modest or make afraid.
THERE is a large class of people in this
