New York.-In the course of his SER
mon in Plymouth church, Brooklyn,
Sunday, the Rev. Dr. Newell Dwight
Hills referred to the gift Of 100000,
made by John d. Rockefeller to the
American board of foreign missions,
and to Mr.. Rockefellers son. He said,
in part:
THE saddest words that have been
written in this generation were spoken
before Brown university by a young
man who is to inherit one of the great
est fortunes in this country. They
were spoken in defense of the trusts.
Listen to them: The American
beauty rose can be produced in all it's
spiendor only by sacrificing the early
buds that grow up around it. The
rose has 1000 buds, and in order to
produce the American beauty the gar
dener goes around it with knife
and ships 500 in order that all the
strength and beauty may beforced into
one bloom. In this economic argument
this young man brutally tells the work
ing classes that 999 small business
men must be shifted out of existence
in order that his American beauty, the
trust, may be produced. Listen to
Christ: Let the strong bear the bur.
den of the weak And again, Give anO
it shall be given unto you
These words in defense of the
trusts are the most heartbreakine
things in literature to those who know
what is going to come in the future
Can you wonder that after that wher
a man gives gifts we have no gratitude
to return?"
