Search all history and YOU will find no
age when robbery of the just earnings
of the masses was more systematic, more
shameless and less resisted than to-day.
There was never a time when the wor-
ship of great riches, however badly ac-
quired, was more open than now. While
the pure in heart are communlng with
the invisible God on the summit, amid
clouds and darkness that are round IL
bout Hin, vast numbers, and among
them, as of old, many Levites, are bow
ing down to the scalf of Gold, and they
say TO us. "These be thy God o Israel"
When Moses and Joshua reproached
Aaron with his conduct, he laid fault on
the people and said that to please them
he had thrown the gold ornaments into
the fire and there had come out this
calf" implying that it was accidental
Though he did not dare to say sol, and
that he was in no wise responsible. So
in this country, in which the public Opin-
ion OF to-day can become the law to-
morrow, they who like Aaron do not
enlighten it, but on the contrary, with
cut resistance to the robbery of the pep
ple, bow down to those VINO have taken
away their earnings, in effect say with
the idoHitOrs OF old, I'VE did not do it.;
we merely cast the gold into the fire, 5"

came out this calf; hence we are not

is required, and that resistance to wrong
is obedience to God.

any of the old world powers would dis
play under similar circumstances.

This Move May Cause a Rupture.
1t is possible, in view of the fact
that Gen. Merritt's cablegram was sent
from Cavite, last Thursday, that this

ment from Merritt that

that the demand might be made with

all the troops have reached Cavite.
