Justice will not eliminate distress
entirely, but it will greatly reduce
the number of those who come within
the description of the poet. There
will still be some poor, some desti-
tute, some desperate. Generations of
vice will transmit tendencies toward
vice, which must be reformed.
Some will be victims of unavoidable
misfortunes-they will need the aid
of the more fortunate. The orphan
will need a foster-parent. the widow
will need a friend. the aged without
relatives will need a benefactor. The
weak must be encouraged by the
strong: those who fall must be lifted
up.
Love is the anthithesis of greed it
will inspire both justice and mercy.
Love. and love alone can regulate the
relations between man and man and
plant hope in the breast of every
child born into the world.

remedied there will still be suffering

How answer his brute question in that

When whirlwinds of rebellion shake
the world?
How will it be with kingdoms and
with kings
With those who shaped him to the

When this dumb terror shall reply to

DR.. n. f. Reid, who said that he

Dossey Battle actively engaged for

Is God or nature responsible for pri-

disburse the proceeds among the hold

Is God or Nature to blame for the
substitution of force for reason, and

God or Nature responsible for the ma

quest, entailing upon the many the
burden and menace of miitarism and
comforting upon the few the benefits
of exploitation?
The United States Supreme Court
has coined the phrase, larceny bv

called grand larceny; and vet whole
sale wrong doing is never taken into

who are poor deserve their poverty.
and that ali who are rich earn their

commit robbery he is as guilty as if
he commits the act himself: does if
change the moral character of the act
because the injury is done indirectly
instead OF directly? Does it change the
moral character of the act because
the injury is done through legisla-

absence of some righteous law the
