This world is a battle field, with
men aFrayeti on one side and money
On the other There viii come Il
time wheu men who stand Tor the
right will finally triumph; but at the
present speaking it looks as though
money was a long way ahead When
we speak OF a man, and there are
very few real men, we mean to imply
all that's good, noble. aud generous;
but, on the other hand. with the
moravy side is arrayed ali the lowest
motives and feelings of the world
pride, niSHuuess, and avaFice. Avtr

but eelGshneSs on IRE. It is II won

but 1t is very easy to get too much
OF it never see an Old miser that
he's lived and saved and scra ped till

old TO enjoy that don't think Of a
fly in Il Tnolasses barrel. It is ali
+ molasses and no fly. The trouble
Wi b us is that We have inverted
Gods order OF things and put gold
/ above God carriages above charac-
/ ter, and wealth above wisdom. Now
that's beiittling Gods kingdom. II

room between Washington and hell
to put anything.
/ 1t is not wealth that IDakea men.
The graudesU man that ever lived
was th- one who said, The foxes

not where tolay His head He never
| stepped off a piece of ground ten feet
square and called it His own, but He
| went forth aud unstopped the deaf
ears, and opened the blind eyes, aud
| took the dead widows son BIZ the

anything that is for whisky. SO can
90 to heaven without changing my
politics. which is a good deal more
than you fellows OF the other two
parties can say.
This country will never be right
Till We revulutionize family life. | tell
YOU we don't care enough for each
other in the family. When a woman
sees another man that she thinks is
better looking and nicer than her
husband she IL on the road to get
into trouble, and when a man sees "a
woman that is prettier than his wife
he's Oh the road to the penitentiary.
Keep on thinking that your wife is
the prettIest woman III the world, as
you did when you married her, and
don't only Thick it, tell her so. Some
of you will have to tell lie, but that
won't hurt you.
"And when the end comes, and
true, genuine, generous manhood
has triumphed over mean, sordid
avarviee, and comes to know how
much better manhood is than money,
be won't have much trouble going to
heaven. God viii just extend the
golden streets of the New Jersulem
and incorporate him into glory"
