GLORY HALLELUJAH!

A minister Of this city said last
Sunday that "if man had the true
spirit OF Christ he would not be
troubled about strikes, communes
combines and such things
Now, that's it, exactly.
You know Christ never paid any
attention to the wrongs Of earth.
: He never meddled with the laws
and customs Of men.
He merely went through the world
shouting glory hallelujah-adyertls-
ing a concert OF angels beyond the
river, and selling corner lots in the
New Jerusalem.
He found nothing that needed
changing on earth-out sold options
on morality, payable In gold at the
golden gate.
Christ acknowledged that right
relations between man and man was
only the gossip Of women and chill
dren and that purity and equality
could be attained only through con-
tent of the poor and security OF the
rich.
You know Christ represented only
the form Of religion, He never

"Crankism and anarchy" that
disagree with the precedents Of kings
and orders OF milliOnaires, must be met
with cannon and soldiers-and the
Christian should fold his arms and
sing Hide me, Oh, my Saviour Hide,
until the storm OF life is past"
Society needs no reforming.
Agitation disturbs the placid EN-.
erald moss on the surface and uncOy-
ers too many mudhOles.
We should not pry into the mystic
rious things Of God.
The enchantment OF distance rem
ders all things so lovely, that analysis
were sin.
II men are brothers, why are they
not all alike?
II men had been intended to have
equal rights, they would have been
made the same size.
AristOcraCy originated in heaven,
and Christ carried it as a side line
while introducing the great modern
flexible church gospel guide to glory.
II men loved ono another on earth,
the great seaside hotels Of paradise
would have to close for lack Of visi-
tors and hell would run out of kind
ling wood.
The man in the gutter isn't worth
saving, and the one in tho front pew
Of the church don't need it.
The Christian is above all earthly
things-Christ paid it all-and His
disciples owe nothing.
God designed all conditions, and

Let the world alone.
You have no business mixing with
the common herd-you know Jesus
didn't,
The Lord was only playing when
lie drove the money changers out Of
the Temple.
He felt so good to find the world all

in Heaven for sending Him.
He could not restrain His joyful.

the money changers, after enjoying
champagne suppers at their expense.
The poor He rebuked for their
negligence, and pointed to the rich
as examples for emulation.
He also died on a dOwny bed OF
ease, attended by patriotic represent

Were He on earth today in the

fishermen as Grover Cleveland for
disciples.
Jesus had a jolly time. Why should
Christians troubls themselves about
what other people are doing?
They are not Of this earth, nor
keepers Of anybody but themselves.
Christianity Is only a beautiful
philosophy for the leisure classes.
Let US rejoice that we are not as
Others are.
