A RACE OF MODERN TOPICS

Besides the evils from trusts already
enumerated, there are these we'll worthy
OF your attention:
T. Under a normal and just condition
OF AFFAIRS the profit Of the producer Of the
raw material, Of the small manufactured
and small dealer, and the sums saved 70
the consumer by the lower price TO them
where there is competition-all these
sums stay here and their accumulation
viii make the State rich. Under trust
rule all these profits are accumulated in
a lew hands and are steadily carried out
the State TO cur permanent impoyerish-
ment.
2. The owners OF the vast accumulations
of the illegal concerns, operating I'M
der the prohibition Of both State and
Federal Statutes, require to be protected
against the penalties denounced b. those
statutes. To that end portions Of the
amounts Illegally levied by these modern
Dick Turpins are set aside for the pur-
chase or control Of newspapers, for dona-
tlcns to educational Institutions, which
snail lndoctrlnate our youth with senti-
ments OF the holiness and beauty Of trusts
and the liberality of trust magnates. and
in the debauching of elections and the ma
nipulation of Legislatures and Congresses
through lobbyists and other Well known
ana reprehenslble methods. They are
thus a cancer on the body polite.
These and other evils are known to
everyone. They are like the sun, but
only in that none can fail to see them.
No one denies the existence OF these evils
or Apologies for them save those who
are employed by the trusts or who are in
some way favored or controlled by them.
Public sentiment and the public interest
are against them. But the trusts sur
vive and prosper. TIL people of the State
can put an end to them. Will they do
it? Shall it be said of our people as of
the allied armies of 1914, you can do
everything and you attempt nothing"
The British government of 1916 in this
country stood for plutocracy. The Wings
Of that day, led by Washington, Adams,
Jefferson and others, stood for a govern
mont of men and conquered. The trusts
of this day are a revival of the Tories
Of 1776. and stand for a government bT
the monied classes. Are We weaker than
our forefathers? They Won the right Of
self-government for us. Shall we lose it?
Shall we permit the true centre of gov
eminent to go back again to the money
centres Of London and New York? You
say no, a thousands time no. Continue
your agitation. Let the truth of the pres
ent condition of affairs get to the masses
of our countrymen, let them understand
that the termination of the evils that
| affict us will come when they Shall real
ly will it, and the trusts and all like
evils thai now overcome us viii disappear
like mists before the rising sun of the
| peoples sovereignty.

bard's Published Statement,
DR.. PRlTCHARD'S ACCOuNTO: LAST HOUR
The Glory Of God 0yershadowed That Sacred
Chamber Where the Good Man Met
His Fate" But There Mas
Nothing Miraculous.

10 the Editor: Through an extract tax
Ell from DR.. Hubbard's sermon October
9Th, the impression has gone out. not
only through this. but neighboring States,
that my brother, Rev. w. NJ. Wingate. OF
Wake Forest College, miraculously saw
and cofnmuned with his Saviour on the
day Of his death as shown by the follow
ing extract copied from the Charleston
News and Courier:
There is a suggestion of medieval
ism" says the Charlotte Observer, in
the statement made by the Rev. Or Hub
bard, OF the Baptist Tabernacle, Of Raj
eigh, in his sermon, Sunday. that or the
day OF the death of the late President
Wingate, of Wake Forest College, he saw
the Saviour personally and talked with
iiin for eight hours. Mr.. n. B. Brough-
ton, of Raleigh, we are told, says there
is no doubt about this miracle-that it
was not an hallUcinatiOn. We had never
heard of this occurrence before. 1t is the
most remarkable on record in North
Cardinal
| do not believe that DR.. Hubbard in
tended to convey the impression which
has been made, and having been almost
constantly with my brother during his
illness, | feel it my duty to say that
while he died triumphant in Christian
faith, there was nothing in the least,
miraculous or SuDorLuman connected
with his death.

false impression be corrected. and ask
that other papers kindly assist me by

MR.. HUBBARD'S STATEMENT.

Mr.. Hubbard was shown the above and
said that he was not correctly quoted.
Here is what he did say, as published in
the News and Observer OF October 9th:
1T is related of D1. Wingate, a former
PRESIDENT of Wake Forest College, a very
pillar of the truth in a State that has
Gone so much for the cause Of truth and
freedom, that in his last moments a heav-
II radiance filled the room, SO that those
within beheld it, and all the day before
ne died he talked face to face with his
Lord. Then it was that those near
him heard him say, %, blessed Saviour.

Jesus face TO face. The Lord had sent

We, come to experience the waters OF the
Jordan of death, but blessed thought he
is also with us today. and like Enoch of
old, you and l may walk with God"
DIR. PRITCHARD'S STATEMENT.
The lamented Rev. DR.. T. II. Pritchard,
in the Biblical Recorder of Wednesday,
March 9Th, 1879, giving q full account,
has this to say of the last hours of DR..
Wingate:
His wife told ne that the day he died
was the happiest day of his happy life.
He knew that he was going to die, and
when she placed her face beside his and
asked him If he loved her Yes. my
precious wife, answered he, and then he
began to repeat the word, @, the preci-
Gus name of Jesus when she added: All,
you love me, [ know you love me, but
you love that precious name ten thousand
times more Yes said he. L do love
Jesus ten thousand times more than all
else IL this verdi
Just before he breathed his last. his
beloved physician informed me that he

him, and said: %. how delightful it is.
