certain that the apostle to the gentiles would

At the Lyeeum last Sunday evening little
Ennis Lee spoke the following brief but ex-
pressive piece:
The chinch bug dest: oys the farmers grain.
The bee moth spoils hs honey,
The bed bug fills him full of pain,
But the humbug scoops his money.
The lightning bug can't thunder much,
The bedbug has no fame;
The gold bug has no argument,
But he gets there just the same.
COmrade VIM. Hogan, Of Butte, Mont, ar
rived in Equality Sunday evening. He. was
one of thu famous A. r. U. board OF direc-
tors, and is a huge worker in social reform.
We welcome Bro. Hogan as big beam in
the timbers that are to build up Equality col
ony and the G c. We need more Hogan's.
This is no boys play we are in 1t means
real heavy work of Drawn and brain, and
the work cannot afford to do without a single
one who can by any possible means joins the
industrial work we have started here. Bro.
Hogan posted up his application at once.
We again call the attention Of our friends
to the necessity of building up our machine
ry fund. We know we have thousands of
friends all over the country who take pro-
found interest in our colonization movement
and who are ready to do something substan-
tial to help it onward if the necessity of it
were properly presented to them. There
needs to be constant reminder of our duty
toward the industrial work and we ask our
friends to never tire in keeping the ideal be-
fore the world. Small subscriptions are with
in the reach of nearly every enc and the
prospects of tangible and living example of
the efficiency of the cooperative principle is
now in sight. Sticktoitiveness on the part of
our friends is now the only requisite.
Az we have frequently said before, but it
seems that the fact cannot be too often driven
home, that we do not guarantee to repay a
fee on demand whenever any member gets

invite them to come and help us work out the
new order of Humanity on those terms. II
they do not like those terms and do not pro-
pose more practical ones. they should not
come. Now Equality colony is no cinch
game. We make no effort to separate peo-
pie from their money, but we here at the
front consider ourselves. in some measure,
trustees for all these who have placed conf
dence in and funds with US, and we can but do
our utmost to execute the plans that all have
had a hand in making. We shall, in the not
distant future be able to repay every dollar
demanded, but as we are under no obliga-
tiOns to do SO now w frankly decline to jeop-
ardize the movement by curtailing the slender
capital at our disposal. No business anywhere
could pay out its working capital on demand
of every unstable stakeholder, and no more
can we. This certainly is not pleasant read
ing, but it is dollars to doughnuts that it will
have to be repeated before many moons.
