deceiving their people not only with
industries, but with societies which
God intended should dwell among
nations in behalf of falling humanity

spread the land over. 1t is a curse up

David said on one occasion: Surely
goodness and mercy shall follow me all
the days OF my life and / Will dwell in
the house of the Lord forever" Some
"alec" wishes TO know why does the
Lord bestow such excellent blessings
upon the editor of the PLANET? Be-
cause he has ever defended the race in
all things like right, man called of
God, and yea, truer than some minis

race and country's prosperity. He is a
man who would walk into the jaws of

God for a number of years, when he

to say as one of his constant readers
that he has known nothing else to deal
with but true facts and correct figures
in all things.
We have discovered il to be so in
both the city and country churches
that when the pastor or visiting minis
ter choose a text amp that selection
meets the approval of the audience you
can hear a response from all the chris
tians, and especially for the sinners il
they are cor cerned about their future
life. In this case it seems as editor
Mitchell has aroused all the True Re-
formers to shouting degree. Surely
his doctrine has great effect upon
this congregation, and they made e.

IL Editor Mitchell were not produc-
ing such true doctrine concerning the
present trouble, the people would not
hear him, and no reply would be nee
essary because his statement would be
false. Something is wrong with the
order, and it must be going TO the wal
