OF the Bible the six highwaymen have
as good chance to enter the kingdom
OF heaven as the men who are making
millions out OF the coal trust.
When Christ met Ziccheus he turn
ed the light of heaven onto his meth
DDS d making money. The man saw
where he was. He said, II will re-
store what have taken wrongfully. F"
Ii the millionaires OF the sugar and the
beef and oil and coal trusts would be-
gin tomorrow TO restore what they
had wrongfully taken from others
there would be a scattering OF millions
within short time.
An answer to the Lords prayer Of
fered by men of the trusts would de-
stroy every trust in the land; and the
golden rule applied to the business
world OF today would bring the great
est panic the world ever saw, but the
conditions would be better by and by.

The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1902-10-17

In the morning his text was, "Then
said Jesus unto his disciples, Verify l
say unto you, that rich imam shall
hardly enter into} the kingdom Of
heaven. Matt. 1928.
In part Rev. Warner said: ga rich
young ri er, who livedlwhen.J Jesus was
was on earth, was what we would call
good man. He tried to keep God s
commandments and do right. But he
still felt there was something more
necessary before he could have eternal
life. One day he saw Jesus, aud, be-
lieving he was great teacher, he
asked what more he ought TO do that
he might have eternal life. Jesus told
him to give his riches to the poor and
come and follow Him. But the rich
man was sorry to hear Jesus say that
he must give up his riches. HE went
away aud would not do it.
The bible In it's teachings would not
destroy wealth, but would employ it
for humanity. Money, as a servant,
advances civilization, overcomes igno
rance, relieves suffering and is the
very angel Of God, But once let the
devil control the heart Of a man who
has money and it becomes a brutal,
cruel power. Such men investItheir
money in public institutions and even
In the church and then claim the
right to control them. There are In
stitutions of learning In this country
where free speech is killed by rich
men. And many pulpits in the
church Of God are.kept silent on mod
ern methods Of money making by rich
men. The millionaires of today hear
very few sermons from the text that
have this morning. Such preaching
would touch In tender.spots, and they
would not bear 1t. Rich men who
make this evil use OF the power Of
money, will find it very hard to enter
the kingdom Of heaven.
Then rich men yield.to temptation
and increase their riches by wrong
methods. Can a man make millions
out of the labor Of his employees, and
then by founding public Libraries open
the way into the kingdom of heaven?
Can man take control of the oil
wells, drive all competitors from the
field, and say what the world shall pay
for oil, and at the same time enter
into the kingdom of heaven? Just
now Few men who millions have
given them the power to control the
coal that God has put In the earth for
the benefit for all his people, propose
to fix the wages Of the men who dig
the coal and the price Of the coal to
those who must have it to keep them
from freezing, and they say the whole
nation must come to their terms.
Can men do that and enter the king
dom Of heaven? The president of the
coal trust dares to say that God has
given to christian men the money to
control the coal business and they are
going to do 1t.
But some people do not believe that
God gave them their millions. When
lived In Wyoming, one night a few
miles from the city In which lived
six armed men held up Union Pacific
train, took from 1t one hundred thous-
and dollars and disappeared into the
mountains. Do you believe that God
gave the six highwaymen that money?
No, you do not. II you understand
the golden rule laid down by the. Son
Of Man, 1t would be just as hard to
make you believe that God is giving
the men Of the coal trust the millions
they are making out Of the coal.
And II we understand the teaching

TOOK SHOT AT TRUSTS
Rev. j. p. Warner Condemns the Coal
sarons and Makers of "Judicious
Combinations.

The subject OF the sermon at the
Fist M. e. church Sunday evening was
the mount of Transit guration. " Rev.
Warner brought out the contrast be-
tween the past and present. The pal
ace OF the millionaire and the hut OF
poverty stand side by side; the saloon,
the open door to hell, and the church,
the open door to heaven, are In the
same block. Where once stood the
beautiful city of Jerusalem Arabs now
pitch their tents.
1t was this very contrast In the ma
ture Of Christ that makes him SO be-
loved by man. He slept in the storm
Ikea man; he rebuked the seas like a
God. He died on the cross like man;
o the morning OF the third day He
arose, leaning on the arm Of the AL
mighty like God. On the Mount Of
TRANSPORTATION he prayed like man;
and then glory, brilliant and beauti-
full, clothed him like God. Why did
he not have angels with him then In
stead Of those men who on earth had
been his devoted followers? Because
Christ had been q man himself, had
lived and suffered on this earth.
1t is a happy thought to those who
are discouraged to know that men who
died hundreds Of years before were
with Christsthen. 1t proves beyond
any doubt that death does not end all.
Where they were between the time
they left this earth and the time they
were on the mount with Christ we do
not know; but this we do know, that
they were under his loving care, and
that is where our loved ones who have
gone before are now. 1t will be seen
that the God in Christ was brought
out and transigured when he knelt on
that mount in prayer. So the best
there is 10 US comes to the front when
we are constantly in prayer, which
keeps us in touch with Christ.

name of ones future sweetheart is
very amusing experiment, and there
are two methods of going to work. The
first is managed thus: A sheet of pa
per is cut up into strips about four and
a half inches long, on every one of
which a name is written A big basin
is half filled with water, and by wet
ting one end of the strips of paper
these are made to adhere to the rim of
the basin all around the dry ends
pointing horizontally toward the CEN
ter. A nutshell containing a bit of
lighted wax taper is then set afioat
by one OF the party. the water having
previously been slightly disturbed with
the fingers so as to give it a rotary
movement. Sometimes the skiff will
pass by many names without harm, or
again 1t may stay pretty long while
before one without igniting it, but the
name set fire to is believed to be that
of the person who is to play a promi-
nent part in ones future life.
The next question of importance is
to ascertain in what direction lies
your fate-that is, from which point
of the compass you are to expect it.
The answer is obtained in the following
way: You step outdoors and throw
your slipper high into the air; then,
the quarter to which the toe points
when it alights is that whence will
come the person who is to influence
your future"

JERSEY MAN MADE OVER.
He Tried to Tame n Gay and Fes-
tive Southern Mule.
From the Baltimore Sun.

rum Tie DdiblilOIC gun.
Trenton, N. j., March 4.-William c.
Lloyd, of 431 Woodland street, who
was assigned to break the spirit of
Southern mule and who has been in
the hospital and near to death for
three months, will be discharged from
there practically reconstructed.
Skin that the animal kicked off has
been replaced by many small patches
furnished by the patients companions.
Part of his skull is now made of sill
yer, and his mouth has an artificial
roof. An eyebrow was made out of
bit of scalp, and nature has been busy
these three months mending broken
bones. New teeth are now being made
by a dentist.
Lloyd was employed in the stables
of the John A. Roebling's Sons Com
pany. There was an unruly and un-
tanned mule there that the company
got tired of feeding for no return, and
Lloyd, who had much experience in
handling such animals, was directed
to make the mule fit and safe to drive
and handle.
He started in at the job one after
iOOH WHeH HODOQy else was ABOUT the
stable. What method he was about to
pursue the hostler does not remember
He dimly recollects having been kick
ed twice He was found several hours
later lying near the mules stall, APP
parently dead.
He was taken to the hospital, and
for several days it was thought he
would die. His skull was fractured and
part of his scalp was gone. A great
patch of skin had been torn from his
neck, and his teeth were nearly all
knocked out. The left eye had been
destroyed, and the lid and brow torn
away. Fills lower jaw and two ribs
were fractured.
But strong constitution asserted
itself and Lloyd gradually grew
stronger, and the doctors said he
would live. Fifty of his fellow men,
bers in Nathan Hale Council, No. SO,
of the Junior Order of American Me-
chanics, promised to furnish the mon
ey and anything else needed to make
Lloyd over. Skin grating was tried
first. His companions furnished small
patches from their arms and backs to
cover the bare spot on his neck. make
a new eyelid and replace the missing
scalp and eyebrow.
AS soon as he was strong enough a
silver plate was put in to replace the
fractured portion of his skull. Then
an artificial covering was put on the
injured portion OF the Roof of his
mouth. Nature meanwhile had repair
ed the broken bones, and Lloyd's new
teeth will be ready for use when he
leaves the hospital
