Wen Own tho Earth.


Let US gather up the sunbeams,
Lying all around our path,
Get a trust on wheat aud roses,
Give the poor the thorns and chah
Let US find our chiefest pleasures
Koarding bounues for today,
So the poor shall have scant measure
And two prices have to pay.
Yea, we'll reservoir our rivers,
And we'll levy on the lakes,
And we'll lay q triding poll tax
On each poor man who partakes;
We Will brand his number on him
That he'll carry through life;
Well apprentice all his children,
Get q mortgage on his wife.
Well capture cen the wind god
And confine him In q cave,
And then, through our patent process.
We the atmosphere will save;
Thus we'll squeeze our little brother.
When he tries his lungs to fill.
Put meter on his wind pipe
And present our little bill.
We will syndicate the starlight,
And monopolize the moon;
Claim royalty on rest days,
A proprietary noon;
For right Of way through oceans spray,
Well charge just what it's worth;
We'll drive our stakes around the lakes,
In fact. we'll own the earth.

The Trusts Have Come to Stay.

The trusts are the ssure pathway by
which the nation is to go safely through
the Red Sea Of an outworn and ruinous
social system. The trusts have come to
stay. Be sure of that: they have come
to stay. The gigantic combinations of
the present and future require them, and
the enormous waste OF competition is
saved. for they mean combination and
the union Of interests. The movement
Is the Outgrowth of natural conditions
and is sure to continue until all indus
trial activities are brought into sys-
tenn OF cooperation by the whole people
for the benefit of the whole. A trust is
an unmixed good-only the people must
own and operate it.
Any attempt to crush out. control or
legislate against this movement by the
politicians is hopelessly absurd. II you
tax the trusts they will increase the
price of their products and make you

THE HOLY SPIRIT IN MISSIONS.

The president announced that the
hour had arrived for hearing the adj
dress of DR. ]. &. G. Newton on the
work of the Holy Spirit in Missions"
After prayer by Rev. J. w. Carroll the
doctor discussed the subject in its re-
lation to foreign fields. He gave a most
interesting account of the progress Of
the work in heather lands. and attrib
uted the success to n knowledge OF the.
Word of God and the direct influence
of the Holy Spirit. which impaired
wing knowledge of Jesus Christ. He
said that in the East the church had
been fortunate in the character of its
founders. In India they were all Spirit
ual men. The Japanese Christians took
readily of the doctrine of the Spirit.
The people there find no trouble in the
distance between them and the Apostle
Tic age. The BLDG ana TIE New Tesra-
ment is the constant companion of the
native Christian. a favorable fact is the
great help the Spirit Is. is the feeling
of liberty 1t gives: though born under
the most powerful despotism. when they
come in possession OF the blessings of
the Gospel they feel at perfect liberty.
The doctor said that the success of
missions in heather lands depended
largely upon the influence and opera
ton of the Holy Spirit in the church
here. The church must be consecrated
here. If the church maintains a
mighty power here that power will be
felt abroad and the heather nations will
be conquered for Christ.
DIR. Smith followed Dr. Newton IL;
pointed remarks. in which he said that
he feared that the church had moi
reached that point in her history
where she should acknowledge the
Kingly claim of Christ. He desired to
see the time when Christ would not
only be recognized as prophet Saviour
and priest, but as our King. to whom
we should give life and service.
DR.. Judkins and Rev. w. a. Croker
spoke. and after prayer by the latter
the meeting adjourned with the bene-
dction by Rev. Dr. Newton.
