OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
PERILs OF THE LABoRER.
[Rev. Johnston Meyers.l
The matter of wages and the right
to employ whom he will and when he
will belongs to the employer or he has
no freedom. The right to work for
what he will and for whom he will be-
longs to the workman. No third party
has any right in this free land to in
terfere with the rights of either. do
not say that labor unions are un-
American. They are benefit for mu-
tual conference and help. But that
kind OF interference must go.
THE third peril is that OF the liquor
traffic. 1t is the great peril of our ma
ton. The saloon and the liquor traffic
are foreign Institutions. They came
from hell. What can be done? Hate
| the saloon. Stamp it and all those who
are connected with 1t as an enemy to-
our flag. Every G.. "A. r. post ought to
| be in fact temperance society.
The fourth peril Is indifference to-
God. Perhaps we have no greater peril
\ than this last. The cause for the down
| fall of many a great nation is in thest
words, they forgot God. The day We
\ forget will be a serious one for this
people. If God forsakes thenall Is lost.
The nation must not forget God. Those
4 who love the nation must not forget
4 Him. AS the years speed by this part
Of my text grows more important Our
/ strength is not in armies, or wealth, or
4 la Dor. but in the Lord !"

1T is singular fact that the athe-
istic and materialistic evolution and

Ipremises and in their corollaries. With
ldue distinction alone that materialistic
revolution is written in terms of matter

lmind Materialistic evolution says
; absolute force the old Calvlnist says
absolute will.
..Materalistic evolution says the
strong survive:' the old calylnism says
: th.. elect survive. Thus the old evo-
:, luton and the old Calvinism are mus
..stually convertible. Admit the atheistic
