A foremost leader in civic reforms
chaplain Of four great national poll
tical conventions, national chaplain
of the great patriotic society of the
Sons of the Revolution, chaplain al
large of the actors church alliance
prominent along the lines of highest
Masonic activity, he is a singular il
lustration Of the strenuous life at its
best.
One can never estimate the results
of comparatively trivial things,
The Redpath Bureau, three years
ago, asked DR.. Green to undertake
some lecturiug. For three years we
have asked him for a lecture for prac-
tically every day of ten months in
each year, and often for an additional
address on Sunday. The demand is
greater with each passing month.
The Boston Journal in speaking Of
DR.. Green as lecturer, has the fol-
lowing to say: emo one who heard
DR.. Green S address, will soon forget
1t. 1t was speech that if printed
in full could not be adequately re-
ported. 1t was a prose ode Oh patriot
tism, and an exaltation of American
destiny, SO earnestly, SO skillfully, SC
magnetically delivered, that the
audience was again and again lifted
tO cheers. and even to waving of
handkerchiefs.

Great American Fortunes,

In The Square and Compass"
(Masonic) of Denver, Col, we find
computation of the enormous wealth
which some Of our American rich men
are acquiring. Ten OF them are now
estimated as holding property to the
amount of over two thousand millions
of dollars. Twenty men indirectly
control large part of the wealth of
the country and these rich men are
constantly growing richer. 1t is esti-
mated that the time is coming when
one man may own from two thousand
millions to three thousands millions
of dollars, as a result of which they
may be able to make the laws, own
the newspapers, substitute the churches
and colleges, mould public opinion,
direct the machinery OF justice, con-
troll the banks insurance companies
and conditions of labor, fix prices,
absorb the profits and control almost
everything. 1t will be well for the
American people to pause and ask
themselves the following questions:
First. What is the cause of and
the best plan for stopping the increased
growth of crime in our country?
Second. " hat is the best plan to
stop the poisonous and dangerous
adulteration of cur foods, drinks and
medicines?
Third. What is the best plan for
carrying humane education into our
colleges and schools for the protection
both of our own race and of all the
other races?
1t is tremendous question whether
the controversies between enormous
capital and labor in our country are
to be settled by a terrible civil war
or peaceabIy at the ballot box.
