Let us take another look around to see
how we may serve our generation. Let
US see, as far as possible, that they have
enough 10 wear. God looks upon the HUI
man race, and knows just how many in
habitants the world has. The statistics
Of the worlds population are carefully
taken in civilized lands, and every few
years officers of government go through
the land and count how many people
there are in the United States or Eng
land and great accuracy is reached But
when people tell us how many inhabi-
tants there are in Asia or Africa, at best
1t must be a wild guess. Yet God knows
the exact number of people on our planet,
and ne has made enough apparel for each,
and if there be fifteen hundred million
fifteen thousand, fifteen hundred and fif-
teen people, then there Is enough apparel
for fifteen hundred million, fifteen thous-
an, fifteen hundred and fifteen Not
slouchy apparel, not ragged apparel not
insufficient apparel, but appropriate ap-
parel At least two suits for every being
on earth, a summer suit and a winter
suit. good pair of shoes for every liv-
ing mortal A good coat a good hat, or
a good bonnet, and a good shawl and a
apparel. A wardrobe for all nations

But, alasl where are the good clothes
for three-fourths of the human race? The
other one-fourth have appropriated tnem
The fact is there needs to be and will be
a redistribution. Not by anarchistic vlo-
lence. If outlawry had its way, it would
rend and tear and diminish until in
stead of three fourths of the world not
properly attiled, four-fourths would be In

Again, let us look around and see how
we may serve our generation. What short
sighted mortals we would be if we were
anxious to clothe and feed only the most
Insignificant part of man, namely, his
body, while we put forth no effort to
clothe and feed and save his soul. Time
is little piece broken off a great eternity
What are we doing for the souls of this
present generation? Let me say 1t is a
generation worth saving Most magnifi-
cent men and women are in il. We make
a great ado about the improvements in
navigation, and in locomotion, and In art
and machinery. We remark what wonders
of telegraph and telephone and the steth-
Oscope. What Improvement is electric light
provements are Insignificant, compared
with the improvement in the human race
In olden times, once in a while, a great
and good man or woman would come up,
and The world has made a great fuss about
IL ever since; but now they are so numer-
Gus, we scarcely speak about them. We put
a halo about the people Of the past, but 1
think If the times demanded them il would
be found we have now living in this year

Washingtons, fifty Lady Huntingdons, fif-
ty Elizabeth Frys. During our civil war
more splendid warriors in North and
South were developed in four years than
the whole world developed in the previous
twenty years. 1 challenge the 4000 years
before Christ and also the eighteen centu-
ries after Christ to show me the equal of

is more worth saving than any one of the
$50 generations that have passed off. Where
shall we begin? With ourselves. That is
the pillar from which we must start. Pres
