landnaid OF truth
There was another long period of dreadful
war, and the war did not cease until the oppo-
nenlS If change were exhausted. A remnant
of the refcrmers survived, as the survival Of
the liltcst. The stand-up monkeys, not being
burdened with useless appendages, and being
able to talk, NOV, forward and upward with
great rApidty. The old coat of dirty hair Le-
can'e an oHcnse in the eyes of beauty and clean
illness. The old fore legs had become hands that
could weave robes and construct buildings.
Hal. went the way of tails, except IN such
places a; it is ornamental and useful.
TIE monkey was now a man, and the new
breed thus evolved has had six thousand years
of an uncertain existence.
There have been wars, famnes and pesti-
lelc,<. Out of all, the survival of the tittest
has saved the race Egypt, Assyra, Greece
aud Rome had their opportunity for better
things, and died because they throtled Truth,
Liberty and Justice.
The fruit trees of the fig, apple and date
were borne to climes more congenial than the
countries of kings and warriors; and wherever
there was liberty, there was fruit in great
abundance.
In the Revelation of st. John, we read that
a woman whose garments were of the sum-
whose feet rested upon the moon, and whose
head was crowned with stars, had to flee into
the wilderness to bring forth a child who was
to rule all nations. Her child was caught up
to Heaven to save Him from the devourng
hate of "great red dragon" Heaven saved
the woman, and found her child worthy of the
presence and protection of the Infinite God.
interpret that Truth, Liberty and Justice
will live on till the end "Truth crushed to
earth will rise again." no matter whether it be
political, religious, social or scientific truth {;
but we cannot shut our eyes to the fact that
now, as in the past, the people who oppose ie
forms are in the majority. There is still more
or less of the old hate of reforms and thirst for
the blood of reforners. Even children CT re-
formers resist reform. AS has been On, some
monkeys in the sweep OF progression were leh
on all forr legs and remain in that attitude nm
til hi; d,y. Other, who dropped their t'is,
stopped al that point. Others were able to
move a little further, but their relationship to
four legged monkeys held them back from the
goal
Razor backlog characteristics NAV appear
in removal of ten generations fiom the Poland
China. The men who move the world to be-
things, and higher, are in the minority. The
"great red dragon still seeks the life of that
l.
Red, to-day, is the color of the dragon, as IN
the vision of St. John, for blood is his drink,
and lie is powerful because the wealth of the
nations nerves his arms The dragon lives on
and on, and at his feet are the nations rulers.
AS in the days OF the Caesars, England and
America fill up the cup in South Africa and the
Philippines, and all "civilized" nations whet
their appeites with view to red feast in
China But the child of the star.crowned
mother is safe i'll the care Of the All-Wise Be-
ing, ant. with courage, the reiormer enters into
the stiife of newborn struggle.
Labor is upon two feet; the backbone straight
ems and stifens; the fires of intellect and indie
pendence flash from undmmed eyes, and nos
tris dilate with the breathing of an inborn
sense of the great wrongs inflicted by an enemy
sorged with blood and powerful through un-
earned treasure. Labor's mother is the star
crowned mother of Truth that enlightens, Of
Liberty that is benevolent, and of Justice,
whose measure is fairness.
