the captains Of industry.
The captains assert hat 1.-THE peo-
pie are not competent to govern our
industries This is the old familiar
language of the masters and kings,
revised and corrected to suit the &C.
casion. But as the sham cry that
the slave would starve" without a
master on his back to pur him IN,
and that the people were not COM
petent to govern themselves" had to
give way to the growing intelligence
Of the people. SO the sham cry of
the captains Of industry must give
way to the growing intellects Of the
world. 1t has now become clear to
society that q government of the
people il but q sham, and a farce,
until the captains are forced to dis
mount and remove their spurs. and
the people govern their Industries and
all means Of life, and in the interest
Of the whole people; hence the ten
dency towards public ownership.
The history Of the evolution and
unfolding OF civilization is a history
Of the ever increasing. ever widening
circle Of cooperation of groups Of
individuals. the ~lessening Of the num-
Der of groups, as the circles became
larger and embraced more Industries
and individuals, until at last we come
to the all-inclusive circle of public
ownership--the circle which is so
great. SO complete, so far-reaching
that It encompasses all the hitherto
competing groups OF co-operators.
merging and consolidating them into
one harmonious trust Of all trusts.
All the functions of government
we're first private. With the growth
of civilization the private government
evolved into public government. So
the various Industries, which at first
were private. have grown until they
have one by one become public in the
two-ofld capacity of furnishing the
people employment and furnishing
them the necessaries and luxuries Of
life.
Ownership and operation Of our in
dustries by the people and for the
people, means q fuller harmony. a

Of one part against the other.

vania coal strike two years age, h
agitation at several times for public
ownership OF the telegraph lines,
which at one time got SO far as to
call for a congressional investigation
looking to it's adoption. and talk of
public ownership in connection with
the ecent strike of packing house
employees are all confirmation Of our
claims.
1t is easy to prove that ooncentrat-
ed, cooperative effort is productive Of
greater results than scattered, COM
peting, individual effort. Yet such
argument could not be conclusive. A
method or institution may produce
greater results, and yet be inferior
in respect to other and more import
ant considerations than mere cheap
ness and productivity.
The commercial astignatism, or
blindness, Of the people must be cor
rected, so hat social questions may
be viewed in their true light. their
basic relations to the law of life, Of
nature. The final test of any method
or system of service is its efect upon
the public welfare-its relations to
the morals. manhood. character,
ethics and public conscience.
Progress, human advancement,
happy homes, noble lives. honesty. in
tegrity and a sound public conscience
are the real ends-or should be-of
all our Institutions, industrial and
political.
Public ownership and operation
would remove the antagonisms be-
tween the private owner and the peo-
pie, and lift the relationship of men
to a higher plane, by substituting the
conditions Of employer and employee
with those of partnership and mu-
tuality of interests of all the people.

drews to the place where Christ may

In the evangelistic work our hearts
are full of praise because of Gods
many and rich blessings. In the
first place we have a tonga and team
of good horses. We can now 60 to
more distant Villages and return soon
er than we could when the OK cart
was our only means of conveyance.
Then to travel three or four miles
took US an hour and half-now but
half an hour. Thus we have much
more to spend in the work and avoid
some of the heat which is extremely
trying this year. However we use
both vehicles constantly, the OK cart
for the shorter distances. We have
more workers having been able to Sc
cure some good experienced Bible
women. Because of these blessings
our work has spread from the twelve
villages around Vikarabad which we
visited last year to twenty. 1t is our
plan to visit each of these twenty
villages once week and to give the
message of salvation to these sisters
so hungry for it. They are showing
an unusual spirit of earnest inquiry.
In some of these places newly added,
women are so eager for the message of
salvation that they will hardly allow
us to come away. In many places
they say that we are the first women
who ever came to teach them about
Christ. This is in the nearby
villages. There are more than a
thousand Villages farther out which
in all probability no Christian women
ever entered. How many times these
village sisters have told US that be-
fore they knew God they have wor-
shipped idols but, that their worship
was vain they we'll knew. Now since
they have heard of the Heavenly
Father and His love for His children
they will no longer trust in gods of
wood and stone. In Landeor our
two representatives Of the Cross are
faithfully laboring for Christ. They
walk thro' the scorching heat to
the villages far and near. When I
visit them I am we'll pleased with
their work. just this week some of
our people have gone to establish
Christian work in a village which
will be for the present our western
out post. The Bible women who
went is earnest and competent so we
hope for great things from that part
of the district. There is Oh! so much |
work to be done in these fields while |
to the harvest and our little group of
workers seem so pitifully few compar-
ed with the half million souls to
whom we must minister. [ am al.
most crushed as / see the duties all
around and realize that I have but
one pair of hands with which to work
and only one tongue to tell the story
IF Gods love. So many opportunities
or doing good must 60 unembraced.
It is as much the work that one sees
md cannot do as that which one does
which takes ones strength.
I feel heartily greatful for your in
crest and help in this grand work Of
aving souls and especially for the
prayers which l know you are offer
ng in behalf of us and our labors.
Your sympathy has strengthened in
many trying hour. Nav our souls
'e knit close together by the ooAds of
Christian love as they meet around
ur common Throne of grace.
