THE DUTY OF THE CHURCHES
ChriSt's Mission and Gods Creation

more and more Disclosing her secrets,
that it matters not how long the world
Is to endure, or however dense j. to
become its population, enough has
been created for all and with an ahund-
ance to spare.
Applied to God, munifceuce in
His creation, the parable Of the'loaves
and fishes" i not overdrawn.
Then why should there be suffering
for want and the constant fear of
want?
Is it not because of the seIlishuess
that has manifested itself in human
| legislation, and because man has set
aside Gods wisdom and has permitted
few to monopolize what was in
tended for all?
If there We're no laws on the subject,
who 0es not know that to take what
does not be,ong to him j. - crime?
y man has a right to what he
makes with his own hands aud no
man has right 10 take it from him.
But no man has right to take from
Gods abundance more than his share
of what He has created for all
The world was created in u-ufruct
for all and when man reaches the
state OF perfect wisdom and um-elfsh-
Hess that the Christian religion aim,
to attain, the bountie~ of Gods crea-
ton will be 80 used, and there will
then be no want in the world aud
never fear of want.
The sea was made for all, bat the |
ships that sail ON it are mans |
property.
The air was made for all, hut the |
ships that will in time navigate it, |
belong to man.
so the earth and the iniIu-~- thereof |
are Gods gifts and are uut the result |
of the work of mans hands. and 40 |
one man has right to it, monopoly.

Why should a man rob himself?
There are various reasons.
When a person gets short in his ac-
counts, he is now and then caught
combining the dual role Of robber and
victim. Cashier Gould of Bellwood is
suspected Of cracking his own safe,
which piece Of work got the public eye
to glaring in his direction. In Lincoln
the event has happened so often that it
occasions little comment in police cir
cles.
Dissipation and shortages, misfort-
une and i'll luck, are some of the
causes. But there are some cases where
the motive Of the plotters is never as
certained.
Not long ago Detective Malone and
Chief of Police Hoagland drove out
through the darkness to a spot in the
country two miles east Of Lincoln. A
man had been held up. His loss was
placed at $50. An hour before the al
legged robbery had taken place.
There were no traces Of bandits, not
a possible clue. In the hopes of get
ting an idea the man was asked to re-
cite his adventure again.
He narrated the details with mechan-
ical regularity. While riding along in
his road wagon he had been seized
from behind and dragged to the
ground. Some one turned the horse
about. A masked man went through
his pockets. But the second time the
story was told the officers told him to
go home and come to town early the
next day. They did likewise Did they
exhaust themselves looking for a rob-
ber or gang of wicked bandits? Not
they.
such a prosaic manner that its recital
is liable to be monotonous. The next
day the man had a heart to heart talk
with the powers. After some weak
and vain prevarication he admitted
that he had blown considerable money
with the boys and gambled away some
more. Accordingly he left for home
with a roll belonging to his wife sadly
diminished. There were tears-yes
tears from a great big six-foot man
expOstulations and a whole brand new
grist Of resolutions which have been
well kept. So this tale makes it's ap-
pearance at this late day and for OBJ
vious purposes the immaterial details
have been very slightly twisted, both
to protect the reformed man and to
avoid casting aspersions on the six
other fellows who tried the same trick
within a few weeks and failed
Experience is a good schoolmaster
but 1t takes the method considerable
time to percolate.
Several months ago a gentleman
from Nelson named Chapman deliber-
ately told the authorities that he had
been robbed, hoping that the officers
would pounce on the accused and make
them "divvy" rather than have trouble.
He had everything to gain and moth
ing much to lose. He got wObbly at the
critical moment and admitted that he
had spun a yarn after the manner of
Kipling. The motive was supplied by
the authorities.
When you lend money to relative
you run a double risk, declare some
people. This maxim deliberately and
vigorously believed caused one of the
