from the tiller of the soil, can
any one> doubt that conditions
exists which infringe the equal
rights of man.? Justice has been
ignored; the book of books has
been covered in the rubbish Of
the temple.
I'm the physical world are two
opposing forces, centrifugal and
centripital, the one typefying
hatred and the other love. The
pitiable wage system, the social
inequality of the time are the cen
trifugal force. We proclaim all
power in the people, then pro
coed to take it away from them.
We claim to believe in Christian
ity, but fail to practice it. We
are living gigantic lie. We
speak of God the father, forget
ting that if God be our father,
then we are all brothers. We
pray, give us this day our daily
bread, and we corner the wheat
market and raise the price OF
-four. We pray forgive us our
trespasses, then proceed tc
overcome our enemies as we
may be able. The centripita]
force is love, which Christ
brought into the world. This
would bind US together without
ties OF race or social position.
Just now we are coming to I'M
derstand the sermon on themont
With rumors of war heard on
every hand, dark clouds of agi-
tation gathering over us, need
we be told that retribution fol
lows wrong doing? I believe
that in all the serious evils of the
time the way is being paved for
all era of social justice, for d trial
of the pure democracy Of the
lowly Ntzarene. The party can
most help to bring this condition
about which is most in accord
with the principles of the consti
tuition of the United States, and
whose basic principles are rooted
in Chris tianity. For 80 years
the two old parties have been in 8
perpetual struggle over q single
issue. whether there should be
high or low tariff. The one
thought Of the leaders of the
people has been, not how
much could be done for the wei
fare of their iiocks, but how they
might oftenest and closest bt
shorn. Organized in the past tt
deal with past issues, they are
unable to go beyond the limit O
their standard Of right.
The Democratic party sprung
into power to resist the tenden

accomplished it had reached tn
limit of it's standard of right. I
was unable to cope with SLAYER,
question, and the Republican
party sprung up out of the
remains of the old abolition par
ty, to accomplish this end. Thi:
accomplished, the Republican
party had reached the measure
of it's usefulness. The power O
the corporations has been grow

unable to deal with the question
The party is now under the con
troll of the money power, and al
it's legislation for the past few
years has beer dictated by tn.
money power which, like a YAM
pire, is sucking the life bloo<
out Of the producing people 0
the nation. The time has nov
come for a new party. Tn

Of the people. Democratic an<
Republican parties exist only TO
the sake of place and power
Today we behold them hand il
