CARNEGIE IS CANNY DRIVER.


ny Kew JO0H TeTTVt,
| am pleased when worklngmen re-
fuse to pstronize the Carnegie IL
braries The great steel magnate has
only helped those who had no need Of
his help. He has been quite as shrewd
and canny in posing as a philanthrop-
list as he was in coming the sweat Of
other mems brows into the colossal
fortune he now claims as his very
own.
No able-bodied man, not even a
preacher, can accept a charity without
being deb8uched in doing so. Capital
lists may practice canniballsm among
themselves without greatly imperiling
the republic, but the very moment the
masses lose their healthy pride and
sclf-rcspect everything will be lost.
The poor mans choking at the offer
of charity and request for honest en-
ployment instead Is the strongest proof
that he Is still man.
DO not be deluded into the idea that
the fashionable avenues and boule-
wards where brown stone fronts and
marble palaces predominant are the
only or the most hopeful fields for
evangelism. Down on the Insignificant
down in the so-called slums where
haggard faces peer out of the window
and nakedness runs and hides, there
they wait with longing hearts for the
sweet gospel of him who, like them
selves, had not where to lay his head
The toiling, struggling, often sorrow
ing masses are not agnostic or athels-
tic or anarchstic. The millions must
not be condemned for the shortcomings
of the few in the ranks of labor. The
almost numberless masses have toe
much head and heart and immortality
and inherent nobility of soul for such
arrant nonsense and folly as that.
The bigot who said in his heart
There is no God" was a rich fool
and he said it in his heart because, in
the absence of brains, that was his
only resort.
My young friends, carry the gospel
to the poor. Do not neglect or be I'M
charitable to or-burning shame-for-
get the poor. The poor We have with
you always. Win them to Christ. They
stand on the doorstep, in the yard
at the gate, looking up and down the
long and dreary streets and alleyways
looking for you and wondering why
you do not come with the message OF
salvation Alas, some of them are
coming to think it is because you are
too selfish and naughty and heartless
and because you so much prefer the
rich.

fever and everyone who has had this
disease knows how weak and lifeless q
person feels when beginning to recuper-

II had to be very careful about my
diet and could eat only very light foods.
These did not seem to noursh me and in
stead OF getting better every day | was
just at standstill and everyone began
to fear relapse One day while lying

This vast harvest has called for the

many Of whom went into the woods

S4,00Q000 has been paid to them in
wages. Now that the trees are down
