II Adam Had Saved One Hundred
Dollars Per Day.

The editor of Tire Medicot World of
Philadelphia, Dr. c. F. Taylor, is an
aggressive and independent thinker in
sociology as well as progressive mem
Der of his profession. All his writings
show that he understands the absurd
devotion that binds nine-tenths of the
human race to some silly habit of con-
servatism, or makes them cling to
some fetch of by-gone superstition
long after it has outliVed any possible
usefulness that it may have once pos
sessed. The following article embodies
some of his ideas about the most sue
cessful gamblers in our great national
game of draw poker, wherein each
pokes the other fellow and draws down
whatever he cam:
Several weeks ago I attended a lee
ture on Democracy given by Lyman
Abbott, d. d. One Of his deep and
brilliant thoughts | wish to give you
here. Speaking OF the rapid accumula-
ton of wealth In these ''rapid" days,
his death was reputed to have been
worth 5000, 100000. In order to help
us to appreciate the meaning of two
hundred million OF dollars, let us put
it in this form: Let us, for the mo-
ment, accept the orthodox theory that
the world is six thousand years old,
and that Adam (created at the end of
the first week of the first Year, began
saving and putting in place Of safety
one hundred dollars per day, beginning
on the first day Of his life and continu-
ing at this rate during all the interven-
ing ages and centuries to tha present
time, putting in 800 working days per
year, and never having vacation nor
any sickness, his savings (interest not
considered) during all this time at the
rate of 500 per day would not amount
to as much as the fortune that Mr.. Van
derbilt accumulated during the com
paratiyely few years of single life
time. 1t must be remembered that the
elder Vanderbilt began life with COM
paratively nothing, and did rot have
the advantage Of a fortune to begin
with"
Doesn't this sound like fairy story?
Isn't it simply beyond belief? Itseemed
SO to me. How many days Of your life
have you been able to make and get
500 clear above all expenses? Suppose
you were able to do SO every day, and
that your father and your grandfather

GOD GIVE US MEN.

On the wings of the worlds aspirations.
From the precincts of Wrong and of Night,
B 'rn within the deep heart of the nations.
There goes up to the Temple of Light
A deep cry that is calling forever
For the men who will show US the way
T0,the truth, and the race will deliver
From the error and greed of to-day.
We are tired of the weaklings who palter
With the evils, corrupttons and crimes
And before Gods great altar stairs falter
To condoae the false gods of our times
1t is men that we want, not excuses,
Men inspired who are strong for the fight,
Who will lead from our present abuses
To the era of Justice aud Right.
We need men with the souls of the martyrs,
Men who dare brand a liar to his face,
Not the twofaced time-serv that barters
His convictions for favor or place;
We need men who will stand for the masses,
Who will show them their rights and their
wrongs
Men who dare to demand of the classes
The increase that to labor belongs.
" W ant men with their faces turned dawn.

Men enlisted for G. Cd to march onward
Ia His truth, till the people are free;
Men who never will swerve in disaster,
With the love of Humanity fired;
Men who dare to stand up for the Master.
BY the Spirit he uttered, inspired.
IT'S for such men the age is now calling,
For the years to the crisis are fleet
And already the shadows are falling
On the time when the world forces meet
"a the light that forever grows clearer,
From the day that is now in its birth,
Join the columns and draw one step nearer
To the kingdom of God on the earth.
