disc. The Christian religion, or Cath
Ollie church which are the same, was
, dovetailed. so to speak, into the syna-
gogue, continued to preach the same
doctrines that were taught from the
beginning of time, and with the prom
Use of her divine founder, that they
would last till the end of time. Her
commission to teach was divine, GO
and teach all nations Hence her di-
vine authority, which is entirely differ

ligiOn merely hereditary or dependent
on a parents belief, is the ground work
of the child's faith. The loss of faith,
which stands in evidence against the
weakness of the Protestant principle
of authority. has indirectly led to the
worship of Mammon. This greed for
wealth is followed by other sympa-
thizing evils. When concentrated
in the hands of few, our
great prosperity belongs to the
few. Selfish nature is frozen to
the wants of the needy, and as there is
very little religious sentiment, it can

of Christian charity. Hence an es-
arrangement between the employee and
employed necessarily follows, There is
no bond of union, which religion could
make. There is very little sympathy
for suffering humanity for the princi-
pie of the rich is every man for him
self" In London last Sunday 1000 men
held a meeting They asked for work
so that they could buy bread for their
starving families. They were outnum-
bered by the police and others who
lacked sympathy for them. Their de-
mand was a failure. To preserve an
equilibrium between man and man re-
ligion is needed but religion, to be eff
cacious, must have a divine sanction,
drawing the line between
superfuous wealth and Indulgence, by
showing that whilst inequalities will
always be found in this mundane |
sphere, before God all are equal.

1.-THE acquittal of Major Glenn by the
second courtmartial at Manila, of the
charges of undue cruelty and giving
barbarous orders, has been approved
by General Davis. This is we'll Major
Glenn was hated by the anti-imperial-
lists because he did good and effective
work; and that hatred was the cause
OF the persistent attempts to have him
found guilty of something he did not
do"
The above, from the Tribune, is a
specimen of craftsmanship. The majors
acquittal, after being implicated in the
famous water cure" is more of a
whitewash than the result of justice
Do not attribute the charges preferred
to the hatred of anti-imperialists. but
to the American sense of honor, JUS
tice and fair play. They were preferred
by soldiers who were as loyal and did
as good and effective work as the ma
