50 100000 can be obtained, and in ten
years the whole earth will be empara-
dised. The plan is not so preposter-
Gus as some have heard of, but ! Will
take no stock in that company. l do
not believe it will ever be done in that
way by any mechanical force or by
any machinery that the human mind
can put into play. 1t is to be done by
the Gospel of the Son of God-the Om-

In that day of which 1 speak, do
you believe that there will be any

the honest merchants of our great
cities.
Gods love will yet bring back this
