, THE Ownership of Man by Man,
1.-The Rule of the Priesthood over the
Human Conscience" or 1.-THE Use O
, Torture to Save Mems Souls" and the
time when the goal is reached and the
prophecy fulfilled, there often must in
tervene a long period of education anc
strife, when the masses of mankind are
taught to see, and encouraged to stand
until at last the tyrant is dragged from
his throne, and is stripped of his rank
of royalty. And so the ages of vision
are generally followed by ages OF
achievement, when the world feels its
way step by step up the crazy and dir
~ steep, making sure of it's footnold
and accustoming itself to the broader
view, until at last it has arisen to the
lofty level to which the prophet sprang
with the speed of an intuition.
In the midst of such an age we live.
The hour is about to strike once NOSE.
AS we look forward, the thought upper
most in our minds is this, What is
| coming next?" OF some things we may
be sure. God does not exhaust himself
| providing for the material welfare of
man. 1t is a thing unthinkable that all
| this strife and struggle Of the ages
| should have no other end than to fill
our larders with things to please the
palate and cover our backs with ia
brics of ingenious skill, while the mind
of man, that has done it all, the soul of
man, for which it has all been done,
should have no front place in the march
| that moves on 50 majestically. Great

| but the end is not here. Some day
| there shall be told story, to which all
| these things shall serve as foot-notes
Yet I doubt not through the ages
one unceasing purpose runs.
And the thoughts of men are widend
with the process of the suns" There
is zone, far-off, divine event, to-
ward which the whole creation moves;
and when that end is here, the triumph
of man over material forces though
now they seem so wonderful that they
sound like fairy tale, shall be COM
monplace and dull beside the wonder

man. The influence and inspiration

lowman the ability of love to sweeten
bitter experiences, to bear heavy bur
dens, and to light up the cloud of sor-
row with the bow of hope. These are
but a faint promise of what shall be
down at the end of the ages. Believe
me, the leavening influence of the Man
of Nazareth working in society, is
producing more men every day who do
not think that it is enough to master
the thunderbolt and harness the river,
unless we master man, and turn the
dark passions of his soul into powerful
instruments of righteousness. We may
destroy the deadly germs of disease; We
may do away with the pestilence that
decimates the population of the great
city: we may cultivate the Wilderness
and make the wild lands golden with
harvests; we may teur the very poi
sons that threaten our lives into medi-
cines to prolong them; but we shall not
know how to live
Till each man finds his own in all /
mems good,
And all men work in noble brother
hood"
Say not that this is a THANKSGIVING
day dream. If you have heard the
of the old clock that ticks off
the events of the centuries, and by it's
solemn sound have been told Of One
to whom Thousand years are as one
day, and one day as thousand
years." you surely know that, though
it may not be tomorrow, or the day
after, it is as certain as the coming of
the seasons, or the orbits Of the stars,
that His kingdom shall come, His will
be done on earth as it is in htaven.
Carry that thuoght with you amid all
the vicissitudes of life. Build upon it
as the rock foundation of your charac-
ter. Hank to its summons when it calls
you into the fields of service and sacri-
flee Yield to it's inspiration when 1t
sounds like a call to prayer over the
lin and confusion of lower desires and
interests So shall you stand firm,
while others about you are forsaking
The essence of life to run after vain
hopes; or are bowling with mock cere-
nony before the falsehoods they them
selves have clothed in the royal gar
nents of truth. Faithful and mmuta
Die is the Eternal; absolute and indy
ng is righteousness; certain ana sure
s the coming of the kingdom. We may
De as confident of that as we are that
he dawn of the morning light is not
imply the opening of our eyes, or the
oar of the surges of the ocean but the
of our ears. And If we cling
0 this fact, and are true, bye and bye,
when the last prodigal in this great hr
nan family has been brought back to
he Fathers house, as we review the
of the centuries we shall
,e ready to own that the power that
.ept us was faith, and shall say, Il
ad tainted, had I not believed to see
he goodness of the Lord in the land Of
he living"
