Truth Creates another Church Panic

Rev. Myron W. Reed, the noted
preacher Of Denver, preached a SER
mon last Sunday which caused some
leadOf his arissOcratic flock to gather
uptheirskirts and skedaddle out OF the
church. Among many other things.
he said:
II need not tell you that the END
Of the world as used in the Bible,
does not mean the end OF the earth.
This is a good serviceable earth.
There Is nothing the matter with
sunrise and sunset. The machinery
Of the universe is in better order than
any watch. The end Of the world
means the end Of condition OF
things. You read Gibbons Rise
and Fall of the Roman Empire, and
there you read the rise and fall of the
world; Rome was then the world.
To God there is no time. He is so
lifted up there He sees the whole
procession from old Eden to the New
Jerusalem.
The world paSSeth away. Much
has been accomplished between
Abraham and Abraham Lincoln.
But new conditions have come in.
Mankind is increasing and the earth
is not adding an acre to its entire
surface.
We of this nation made a mistake
in regard to our room. We have
overdone the invitation business. |
observe that the employers in the
the East, who are now getting it in
the neck, are precisely the same
people who imported the cheap labor.
A few men thought awhile ago
that American labor was too dear
and invited cheaper men, 20 cents a
day men, from over the sea, men who
can live in holes in the earth on dog
meat or garbage. And they came.
They have recently conluded that a
hole in the earth is not a proper
home. They have caught the scent
of brOiled pOrterhOuse steak. The
whole American atmosphere has
worked on them. They are a factor,
though not the chief, in the great
coal strike of 100000 men.
Is life worth living, when it means
only work eat and sleep? Ought
there not be little comfort in life?
You have seen the houses Of these
people -huts, dens. No grass to keep
off Of.
A man can be raised to love his
country, or to hate it.
l believe all lawyers will admit that
the laws favor the rich. There is a
capital Of money We correct the
learned gentleman, by saying that ht
probably means a capital of produce
which money measures, es,-ED. !; there
is another of muscle, raw or trained.
Every old soldier feels warm wher
he remembers that gold received bet
ter wages than men.
The poor have too little to do il
making the laws that govern them.
The deputy sheriff who, through
poverty or politics, has enlisted a
s. a day, does not quite know wha
he is doing. But the miner up on tn,
barricaded hill has a deep sense tina
he was there first. My heart goes on
to him. 1t is a time for heart ant
reason.
Why should men be waiting TO
other men to shoot them, their owl
neighbors? And they volunteer Il
shoot them at less than | hav
earned at binding wheat after
cradle. like peace.
The best thing remember in his
tory is Roman emperor and Re
: man slave kneeling together at tn
Lords supper.

WHEN tie railroad brakeman looks
upon the promptly paid and good sal
aried mail clerk running on the road,
and feels in his own pocket to find
that his little check is not there, he
must be convinced that working for
Uncle Sam is better than working for
