less they get just little more than
the boy who works from early till
late, six days in the week, four weeks
in the month, and twelve months in
the year.
+ On the other hand we oftirnes see
a young man with poor parents, per-
haps an aged mother, younger broth
ers and sisters whose living depends
on what that young man does. How
often we hear the first named class
casting sluring remarks at that hard
working young man as he comes
from his work of nights, tired and
weary from honest labor Follow
that young man through life and see
his future. Some day he will be the
president of some great railroad COR
poration or the owner of some great
mercantile establishment. Yes he is
the coming Lincoln, Vanderbilt or
Edison OF the future.
Now -ote the contrast of these two
young men. Which class do you
belong to? Are yon the one whose
life is one of busy activity at work,
or are you one of those perpetual
loafers whose only occupation is to
sit around on the corners and whit
tie IN Il loating match and cuss the
government because it does not give
you pension.

THE HORRORS OF WAR
The Church of God will yet become
the arbiter of nations. Ii the world
would allow it, it would today ste,,
in between Japan and Russia and be-
tween all the other nations that are
flying at each others threats. and
command peace and disband armies,
and harness for the pillow the war
horses now being hitched to am
munitlon wagons, or saddled for
cavalry charge The time must come,
or through the increased facility for
shooting men or blowing up cities
and overwhelming hosts to instant
death so that we can kill regiment
easier than we could once kill com
pany, and kill a brigade easier than
we could once kill regiment, the
patent offices of the world more
busy than ever in recognizing
new enginery of destruction, the hu-
man race will after Il while 90 fight
ing with one arm, and hobbling with
one foot, and stumbling along with
one eye, and some ingenious inven-
tor, inspired of the archangel of all
mischief, will contrive a machine
that will bore hole to the earsh's
center, and some desperate nation
will throw into that hole enough dy-
Mantle to blow this hulk of planet
into fragments, dropping like meteo-
rio stones on surrounding stellar
habitations,
But this shall not be, for whatever
else we let go, we hang on to our
Bible, which tells us that the black
smith s shop shall yet come to its
grandest use when the warrior and
the husbandman shall enter it side
bysside, and the soldier shall throw
into its bank of fires his sword, and
the farmer will pick it up u plow-

be bent into a crook on each end, and
then cut in two, and what was one
spear shall be two pruning forks.
Down with Moloch and up with
Christ! Let 10 more war horses eat
out of the Manager where Jesus was
born.
+ Peace Forever roll off the sky the
black pillars OF smoke from the Mar
'engos, and Salamancas, and Borodi-
nos, and Sedans, and Gettysburgs OF
earthl And right after them roll into
the heavens the peaceful vapors from
the chimneys of the farm houses, and
asylums, and churches and capitals
Christian nations, and as the sun
light strikes through these vapors
they will write in letters of Jet and
gold all over the sky from horizon to
zenith, Glory to God IN the highest,
and on earth peace, good will tc
menl" Then let ali the men of wal
fire broadside, and all the forts
thunder forth q resoundlng volley,
and the earth be girdled with the
cannonades over the final victory Of
the truth.
