small or large numbers; the larger
the number the more beneficial is
their combination to the whole
number. The moment they sepa-
rate and try to stand alone, the
devil gets after them and promotes
their selfish instincts from which
emanate distrust for one another,
then discord comes in, then hatred
and then open war which causes
them to annihilate one another,
and when that has been accom-
plished the words of the maxim
are true and the devil has won the
victory and gained them all.
Everybody cannot be opulently
wealthy in this world, but every
one that willingly works for their
subsistence is entitled to the COM
forts Of home, for the resources
of the world, properly developed,
are sufficient to give luxury to
every man, woman and child on
the face Of the earth.
AS men become more intelligent
they recognize that as society exists
today the majority of people have
to do double work to keep a large
minority of people in luxury and
semi-idleness, and consequently
they are putting their heads to-
gether with an earnest desire to
do away with this unnatural in
equality. The logical sequence of
their cogitation upon the problem
brings them to the conclusion that
the majority must cooperate with
one another and keep their wealth,
as near as possible, equally dis
tributed among themselves out of
the hands of the idle minority
which will force the minority to
work to gain living. Although
the educated workmen have solved
the problem in theory, they have
been striving so hard individually
in the past to become one Of this
idle class themselves by trying to
get the best of their fellow work
men by hook or crook that they
are so distrustful of one another,
they are afraid to take one of their
own number for a leader for fear
he will steal their funds and become
one Of the idle minority himself.
This distrust is the natural Sc
quence Of their endeavor to stand
alone, while the enlightened mi
nority have had the wisdom to
combine in confederation (not
union) and consequently are
united to do all in their power
to hinder the majority from coa-
lescing in cooperation. But edu-
cation is silently and surely in
structing the workman and making
him discontinued with existing
conditions and as the real welfare
of the world Of man depends upon
him, he is holding the conditions
into a shape where, instead of
being despised, he will be looked
up to as his position deserves.
In short article like this, just
ice cannot be done to such a !
grand conception as cooperation;
one thing must be mentioned
though, just worldly confederated
cooperation as exists in several
instances at the present time is not
sufficient. A higher and nobler
principle than just worldly inter-
ests must be taken into consider
alton and that is love of God
(which embodies all that is good
