We have VIE capitalist and the
labor- or, the employer and the en-
p' owe. the rich and the poor, the
, cultured and the illiterate, the four |
hundred and the masses, those who
live above want and those who strug-
ole in the midst of want. Dissatis-
faction with these conditions is wide
spread. Constant clamor is heard for
a social evolution that will bring
about equalization of privileges and
benefits and do away forever with all
distinction of class.
The anarchist has one way of &C
complishing this, the socialist another
, the impractical reformer another,
andthe earnest Christian still another.
But we are still long distance from
! absolute peerage among men. The
, ideal state of society is not yet posi-
BILE. But it is to become possible. 1t
, is to become actual. In the splendid
| vision of hereafter, John saw outcast

o tinguish no difference between them.
