extremes here. For personal and party
ends they often seek out every flaw in n
mans record, and open afresh any old
wound he may have, and through these
together with imaginary faults utterly
destroy their brothers. political life.
Be careful here. An injustice of this
kind will cry out to GOd against per-
petrators. This responsibility extends
to national life also. ''Out of one blood
hath he made all nations" There is q
universal brotherhood of man.
Equal privileges and protection to
all is doctrine that should not be linn
tied to the land of our fathers. Where
ever legitimate opportunity presents
itself our glorious government, it
seems to us, should enforce this doc
trine, not only in the isles of the sea
but in every country OF the globe. L
am neither an extremist nor sensa-
tionslist. 1 think 1 have reasonable
appreciation for international law and
difficulties over which we have little
control, but do believe that the blood

God against the nations that stood

Thank God that our nation awOke to

are all in some kind of society. The
law of every well regulated family and
of God is to lift your brother up to the
very best place he can hold in the
hearts of the people. Also, how often
is this reversed in social life. Oh!
what an age is this for gossip. calumny,
and SANDER. How the ears of our
brethren must burn as everywhere
they are made the subject of damaging
conversation.
Trace this:gossip, and you find in the
majority of instances that it has for its
foundation mere hearssy. and hearsay,
my friends, is too often the result OF
fertile imagination that seiZes hold OF
mere suspicion, and born ofttimes of
an evil heart, and present it to Cos
siping public as if it were living fact.
Friend, you cannot lift your brother up
in this way. It is not best generally to
be fact. Few men but know their
faults: air these faults, prick afresh
every old wound that you may discov-
er, and you break him down when per-

him up. Be careful here that your

God against you. And now let this

What must the yong man, who
makes no pretentions to Christianity,
think when he goes to a beer garden
concert on Sunday evening and finds
there a large number of highly res
pectable church members? Such is
the record that some of the church
members of Ell Paso are making.
Think of it. On last Sunday evening
the ministers and part of the members
in the sanctuary doing what they
could to elevate the morals of this
own and lead men tc Jesus, while
others of the church were with these
lost ones at saloon concert No
wonder one of our young men was
ready to quote Bob Ingersol and say
that ''after all morals is a matter of
geography Should this young man
and others who may be kept away from
Jesus by the conduct of such church
members be finally lost, the voice of
their suffering spirits, like the voice
of Abel's blood, will cry out to God
against the members.
