CAPITAL AND LABOR.
I am oppose to dcmagog des. tut for labor
to protest against capital in the ashton it
uoes is folly. For how Coula labor live
without capital? on the other hand, OF
course, capital could not live without
iabor.-Rev. j. b. Newton, Congregation
alist, Cleveland, o.
HONEST TOLL.
The Soul OF the honest workingman is
white. His wife loves lin. His cbil,ren
worship him, the community respects him,
he is a migDty factor in our complex civil
nobility OF tUil.-Rev. I. n. MUorehead,
Methodist, Mount Carmel, Pa.
TRUSTS.
The organization ui trusts means simply
that the world has outgrown the principles
or competition as the final law of life.
It has its proper place and service In tie
evoiutions OF society. But, unrestricted,
IL is ruinous.-Rev. n. Luccock, Methodist,
PittSburg, Pa.
THE LIVING CHURCH.
The end of the world will be the end Of
everything except the church, but the glory
Of the church will continue without end.
The church believes time to be the vestibule
and eternity The tcmpie where size shall
go no more out forcver.-Rev. y. P. Wright,
Methodist, Pueblo, Cal.
POLITICAL DANGER.
The danger that threatens our country is
thougbtlcss voting. brainless ballot is
stone hurled at the nations Iiie. God deals
with nations; they are the groupings OF his
purposes. Our country has a mission yet
unsolved.-Rev. j. L. Scott, Presbyterian,
Philadelphia.
THE PROBLEM OF MAN.
THE problem of man. We have n divine
lineage. The very record is aninspiratiOn.
The poorest man may carry himself like Il
king IN the light of il. Our breasts may
ewell with pride In rejecting upon il. Our
heart burns within us because OF it. Rev.
]. r. Mace, Methodist, Camden, n. j.
A CONDITION OF WEALTH.
Labor is now the one condition of wealth;
neither nations nor individuals longer dream
OF riches scored by war Of theft, but as
| the fruit of human energy. Give all men
permission to work, and this world will
bud and blossom like garden. Rev. J. NJ.
| Patterson, Presbyterian, Detroit, Mich.
WEALTHY TRAMPS.
The man who does no useful work, who
| does not contribute to the common good.
does not fully live. And this is so whether
| he is rich or poor. / see no reason why
| the tramp who rides in the palace car is
| any better than the tramp who walks upon
the ties. Rev. II. X. Cooley, Disciple,
| Cleveland, o.
SIGNS OF WEAKNESS.
So much Ignorance, selfishness, corrup-
| tion and avarice have entered into the pOi-
| tics and principles of our governing parties
| that although we have a splendid people,
| magnificent domain and rich heritage,
| yet many parts OF our great structure seem
| unsafe and show signs OF weakening. .-Rev.
II. o. ROwlands, Baptist, Lincoln, Neb.
| BEAUTY.
Beauty is the result of our accidental
| relations to objects. For think that in
| beautiful today is tame or disgusting to-
| morrow. You can no more define il than
| you can overtake the ignus fatuus. You
| might as well attempt to paint a lovers
| sigh or tell where an angels smile had
| been REV. w. w. Fellows, Congregation
| list, Hamilton, Mo.
STRIKES.
From an economical point of view n labor
| strike is as bad as war. There is q great
| waste of resources on either side. In no
| great modern strike has the point under
contention been worth financially what 1t
has cost. Either side could have afforded
| TO give up the point and avoid the strike
Rev. o. j. Fairfield, Unitarian, Spokane,
Wash.
| RELIGION AND POLITICS.
| Business and religion Should not and can
not be separated. If tile workinGman is
| getting poor wages, the church and the
| ciiari able organizations will suffer, and
| fortlIat reason claim that everyone should
lie true to his religious faith, should adopt
that for his platform which should henefit
his church-Rev. B. F. Wcodburn. Baptist.
| Allegheny, Pa.
POVERTY
We leave the poor very much to the
mercy OF whatever haphaZard Legislation
| sc heming poliucians of utterly selfish
| motives may enact, Weneed a newer and
more Christian treatment of our poor.
| We need the wisdom Of m odern thought and
experience wrought into the fiber of our
State and municipal >law.-Rev. Horace
| Porter, Congregationalist, Brooklyn, N. Y.
CHURCH WORK.
There is an opportunity today for en-
larging the influence of the church, ! be-
lieve much could be accomplished If in every
| church there could be organized men, 6
social league for the reaching out after men
and developing the social life Of men, and
as result men will reciprocate and will
show greater intercstin thechurch.-Rev.
L. T. Ludden, Luth eran, Lincoln, Neb.
A PLEA FOR MoRMoNISM.

believe in being subject to tn e laws that are
