IS THIS PESSISM?
They say this world is growing better;
That man is on higher plane;
That errors chains no longer fetter;
That selfishness is on the wane.
But look around-apply Gods measure
Who loves his neighbor as himself?
Who's seeking for that heavenly treasure ?
Don't man still dote on earthly pelf?
Do men now feel for others woe
More than they did in days agone?
o. do they that mercy show
Which to themselves they would have
shown?
Men put to shame the Pharasee
And below forth the loud Amen
While few could say: Lord, please
AS one who loves his fellow men,"
They quote the Golden Rule" tbs true,
But the rule in which they most trust
Is. when fellow would do you,
Why, just do him and do it 'fust.''

concerned has been to treat both sides
in the unfortunate controversy with
extreme fairness, and no effort has
been spared to ascertain all the facts
that the public ought to know. If
either side has failed to have its posi-

cause of it's own indispositiou to have
it stated.

situation. No action looking to a
