MENACE OF LOVE FOR GOLD.
BY Dr. PoIenuS H. SWIFT

On the general theme, Gospel Voices
from Beyond the Sea" l want TO invite
attention particularly to revelations from
Genoa's Campo Santo. / would like to
take my hearers into that farfamed GEM
etery, describe many of the pieces of
statuary to he seen there, and make the
marbles tell the story of great spiritual
truths.
There is one group l can never forget.
Like all the others it was carved from a
great block of purest Italian marble. In
the center stood some sort of machine
which was represented as having the
power to transform everything that went
into it into goldea coins.
1t seemed to testify to me that the man
whose mortal remains rested beneath the
pavement in that place of wondrous
beauty was one to whom gold was ev-
erything.
Was he an American? If ever there
was land where the golden eagle was
the supremest idol il is to be found mere
on this side of the sea-
There are multitudes who are devoted
to such a machine as / saw represented
beneath the colonnades of Campo Santo.
Into it they put honor. love, family. rep-
utation. friendship, pleasure and even
their immortal souls and then stand with
intense satisfaction depicted on every
feature of their radiant faces as they see
a golden stream flowing into their Golfers
That piece of statuary preached to me
4 great sermon. | long TO make you feel
what l felt. The spirit which it illus
trated is striking at the heart of the re-
public
The Capitalization and abuse of wealth
is one. of the dangers of our time. We
are rich and are growing richer. Wealth
has not always been just. Gold has
bought office. Doodle has secured the
enactment of iniquitous legislation.
Great trusts have crushed out COMPETE
ton in a most unjust manner 1t is not
strange that we frequently hear mutter-
ings of discomfort. 1t is time to listen
to Gods voices Of warning. The insane
passion to rake money at any cost is the
fell destroyer of nations as we'll as of
individuals. When the spirit of CONNER.
cialism Is, dominated by the love of max
ing mJney it grindS the faces of the
poor, desecrates the Sabbath, creates the
sweat shop with its multitude of horrors,
demoraliZes the rich as well as curses the
poor.
Commercialism is the blood-red JuSger-
naut before whose encrimsoned wheels
mighty hosts are prostrating themselves
to die, half propi.iated because they see
the CLEAN of gold before their eyes.

FAMILY THE SOCIAL UNIT.
81 Ran EratrL C-r.a..n 1

ny Kew FRANK crane, ID. ID.
The family is the divine model OF our
right relationship with men and the lack
of family feeling has been the cause of
all the wars of history and of men array
ing themselves in classes, tribes. nations
etc. with barriers between them.
Christianity has to make all men see
the fellowship we have with the Father
There will never be any perm anent hu-
man institutions until they are establish
ed on the family model, and family mo-
tives are recognized. The present forms
of government are therefore doomed TO
pass as have former forms of govern
ment.
The history of the socialists and COM
munists is founded upon this truth; the
only trouble with them is that they insist
upon imposing a form Of the human fam
lily upon society before that society has
the spirit of the family. Christianity is
at work upon creating a family spirit;
when that is made the form will AXE
care of itself.
Social troubles are due TO the lack of
family spirit The crime Of the rich is
not that they have wealth. but that their
wealth separates them from common
men. What We call liberty has destroy
ed the family feeling In classes.
Machinery has broken up the family re-
lation of the master and the apprentice.
Democracy has separated the family
which included the lord and the vassal.
Universal suffrage has scattered the fam
lis which included he master and the
slave While liberty has many biz ssings,
it mast develop some altruistic feeling
that shall remedy these evils.
The only motive Of the worlds work
now is money We are u the midst Of
competitive system This must pass
away. We must somehow learn not 70
work against each other but for each
ether. that there shall be a permanen.
system Of human society.
Meanwhile while all these IDEALS are
working themselves out tbe family Is
here as the type Of the Father. This
one tail. white angel is a remnant Of
paradise. In conclusion. we see thar the
Intimate basis for al human fellowship
is found not in paper constitutions. nor in
schemes Of ref0rmers. but in tire instincts
which are in the bosoms Of mea

WHO Is THE WISE BUILDER?

Every man is q builder. There is
something fascinating, too, about
building. Let there be an excava-
ton for a new building, and people
congregate TO look on and intermix
with the bricks and the mortar their
suggestions and their good wishes.
So there seems to be hidden away
in the human heart a desire to ere
ate, to build something.
Moreover, while probably unconsci-
u Of the fact, this desire is being
constantly gratifed, for every man
and every woman is every day a
builder.
Yes, d builder of reputation, a
builder of character, and the life
that bears the fruit of character and
reputation IS an important factor in
the equation Of human progress and
human happiness.
Men, by nature, are SO dependent
on each other thatqa life of evil is a
curse to q community, while a Cody
walk and conversation is a blessing.
No man, therefore, can build for
himself alona-each individual, day
by day, is erecting a structure com
posed OF the acts OF his daily life,
whose influence is either for evil or
for good.
Who then is the Wise Builder?
The useful man is the wise man
he blesse8 his fellows, and in SO do
ing blesses himself.
In every community are men who
live for themselves alone, and when
they die, the world is nom the
poorer in fact, if talents have been
entrusted to the selfish man, the
world is richer when he dies, for the
napkin is then unfolded and the tai
ents 90 into other hands.
How different the death of the
useful man, the maj who has real
lied and has recognized the brother
hood of man.
e When such a man dies ore and
sorrowful are our hearts, and the
human family is poorer in the loss
Of faithful, a dutiful, a useful son.
We are all builders. Who is the
Wise Builder?

l.. G. SWITZERLAND DEAD.

Not unexpected, but with none the
less oppressive sadness to this COM
munity did the news go forth
throughout the city Sunday after
Switzerland, which occurred al his
home on James street at 500 O'Clock,
aged 81 years.
Mr.. Southerland was the elder son
of Mr.. and Mrs. John f. Souther-
land, and for a number of years had
been the managing spirit of the firm
of Switzerland, Brinkley 4 Co., OF
which he was a member, and which,
by his close attention to business and
competent management, as we'll as
by his general popularity, he built
up to its present substantial hold
upon the trading public.
Few are possessed of the sunny
disposition and golden-hearted char
acteristics of Leslie Switzerland, and
he will be sadly missed by us all,
but especially in the home that has
lost the cheer of his personality and
the comfort of his gentle, kindly
words and loving ministrations; but
in his Cody life he leaves unto them
the rich heritage OF a blessed MEM
DRY that will ever whisper III the a

for his death-sEIt is we'll with my

Mr.. Switzerland was married IN

Washington, Oct. 22.-The annual
volume on the mineral resources Of
the United States for 1901, prepared
by David w. Day, of the geological
survey, has been sent to press and
will be issued soon. An interesting
feature of the report is a compilation
OF statistics showing the number of
working days lost in strikes In the
coal industry. These figures include
the present year, and are brought up
to date. The total number of days
lost for the present year is placed at
2O,O00,000 days compared with 1888, 1902
days in 1901; 4,877,102 in 1900, and
2,124,15 in 1899.
The report places the total mineral
product of the country for the year
at 81 086, ,529 ,521, a gain of little more
than 2 per cent over the production OF

Kingsport is the town that was or
iginally chosen for the first capital

covery of oil near there may be tho

London, Oct. 22.-William O'Brien
created considerable excitement among
his fellow nationalists in the house OF

mier Balfour regarding President
Roosevelt's s letter to the convention oI

observed that Mr.. Roosevelt sent let.
ter and whether, in view of the futurd
friendly relations between the United
States and Great Britain he could
make announcement that this county
was not indisposed to learn wisdom
regarding Irish affairs from the head
of great and friendly nation.
The speaker promptly ruled the
question out of order to the evident
chagrin of the natlonalists, whose eX'
citement increased as Mr.. O'Brlen con-

that this letter OF the president Waa

SUFFERING AMONG INDIANS.
JicariIIa Apaches Rendered Destitute
~ Long Drouth.

Jicarilla Apaches Rendered OestItute
~ Long Drouth.
Washington, Oct 22.-The wrost
drouth in the history of northern New
Mexico prevailed during the six
months ending last July, says the an
nual report of the agent at the Jica-
rilla Apache Indian agency, New Mex
leo. The crops for 1902 are a total
failure. The Indians dug under the
rocks for enough water to Quench their
thirst and drove their stock for days
before finding water for them. Many
horses, cattle, sheep and goats. ac-
cording to the agent, died of hunger
and thirst
The Indians" he says, "have been
drinking water that would kill an OF
dinary man. In spite of their self
help there is not enough income TO
keep the Indians from want"
The remedy advocated by the report
is the sale of the timber, which is
is stated would soon enable them 20
support themselves if the proceeds
were applied to the pur-
chase of sheep and cattle. If a
remedy is not applied, the report sug-
gests, it is likely that the Jicarilla
Apaches always will be a burden to
the government.
