The lightning rod is brilliant,
But lie hasn't any mind;
He blunders through existence
With his head light on behind.

Before winter finally comes, it
gives people long warning to get
ready, but they never do it. Death
gives people a still longer warning,
but no one is ever ready. I never

The man who goes about with a

There is a little matter that
Some of our Subscribers have
Seemingly forgotten entirely -
Some of them have made us many
promises, but have not kept them.
To us it is a very important mat

has been taking some interest in
the present political campaign, fig

We may be wrong in our views
and in the manner of expressing
them, and if we are may the good
Lord pardon us. There is some
excuse for the man who is in the

knows are false. Let those put
this coat on whom it fts.-Buf-

Mankind has one source-God
or infinite goodness. Hence per-
feet fellowship or equality among
them is prime law of their con-
stitution. It is an actual necessity
of their development. No man

hostile to the divine unity and
pleads therefore in an irresistible
manner, with all the rational and
human potencies of the universe to
come and modify it. For man hav-

ity in God-which means, of
course, an equality of spiritual en-
dowment, of genius, of active force,
his very divinity forbids him rest
ing content with unequal social re-
lations. He will necessarily agi-
tate society, necessarily urge it
