LABOR AND CHURCH.
contInued from Thlra &c.

spect those who in the sweat of their
brow eat their bread Have your
church literature deal with the
social and labor problems. Let
the rich in their contact with the
poor, by arraying themselves more
appropriately to the occasion, lessen
the envy and jealousy they have here
tofore engendered. Let all social dis
tinctions be discouraged in church
Let not the favored pews be reserved
for the rich, and 1 have no hesitancy
in saving YOU will soon find them oc-
cupied by the toiling masses. When
the meek and lowlv Nazarine came to
preach peace on earth, good will
toward men, he was not welcomed
by those who devour widows houses
and for pretence make long prayers.
By whom was he welcomed? The
bible tells us that when he gave that
great commandment, thou shalt love
thy neighbor as thyself, the COM
mon people heard him gladly. So let
the clergy preach the unrestricted
word of Christ, and their fortunate
Pensioners act the spirit, and l will
vouchsafe the assertion that they will
have no trouble in getting the COM
mon people to hear them gladly
Mr.. Beck's Remarks.
Mr.. Beck made an eloquent appeal
for the workingman, and his picture
illustrating why he did not attend
church was a vivid and forceful one.
He contended that the whole trouble
could be attributed to economic in
equality which caused social Unequal
ity. He said the workingman were
not arrayed against the church; on
the contrary they looked to it as heir
strongest friend. 1t was truly
the noblest and grandest expression
of civilization. Mr.. Beck held that
unjust legislation was the root of all
the wrongs heaped on the shoulders
of the poorer classes, and the remedy
was in the agitation and practice of
political economy.
Rev. Grafton in concluding the
service announced that two Sundays
hence The subject Why Working
men Attend Church, would be
discussed by workingmen and that
next Sunday the Y. NJ. c. A. would
he in charge of the evening meeting.

Sufferers in Rock Island Thursday.
The progress of modern medical
science has led to the discov-

tofore employed. DR.. Rudolph
Schiffmann, the noted physician, has,
after Il lifelong study of asthma and
kindred diseases, discovered remedy
which not only gives instant relief in
the severest cases of asthma, hay fever
and bronchitis, but has actually cured
thousands whose cases had been pro-

overcome the skepticism of the public
growing out of the failure of other
remedies, DR.. Schilfmann requests
