PASTOR SEES SIGNS OF
AP0LITICAl AWAKENING

Rev. G. A. Conibear OF the Broad
Street Christian church last evening
urged his parishioners TO exercise the
right OF suffrage as true Christians.
During these days, perhaps, as
never before" he said. 1.-THE people are
stirred up to a sense OF civic righteous
ness and men will vote without refer
ence TO party Issues. They will vote
according to their convictions and as
sert their independence.
THE right TO vote is not only a privi-
lege but a duty. IL Is one of the
talents given US and neglect to use IL
is as wrong as the failure to perform
any duty on Gods earth
"It is unfortunate that at every
election the votes OF Christian people
are divided and opposed, while those
whose interests are anything but Chris
tian are allowed to decide the fate OF
the state.
Now, however, we see the signs OF
a new awakening, an awakening OF
conscience and OF higher ideals. We
must be even more independent now
IL we would promote the interests OF
Jesus Christ"

CLASS FEELING
NECESSARY To
TRUE REFORM

Rev. A. q. Singsen discussed social
reform at Bell Street chapel, and re-
ferred especially 10 what is sometimes
termed "class feeling"
1T is supposed to be very wicked"
said he. "for social reformers TO stir
up class feeling; but / don't know how
you are going to attack any evil con-
dition OF society unless you do some
thing very much like that. There Is
no class OF wrongdoers that you can
make any headway against In society
except by stirring up the people who
believe in the right against those who
would do wrong. II is always neces-
sary 10 stir up the inactive. easy
going good people against the very act
i've and aggressive bad people.
''Of course. as long as there is any
class OF men who consider themselves
apart, whose interests are not the
interests OF humanity. then there must
need be fear OF the stirring UP OF class
feeling. For such feeling will mean
down with the class.
IF there Is an industrial predatory
class. hard and cruel. who declare so
per cent dividends at the cost OF pale
faces and pinched cheeks and little
white coffins In the novels OF the
patient workers. II is time that suffi-
Client class feeling is aroused 10 retire
that class into the background.
THE motives OF the leaders in the
movement for social reform are noble
and unselhsh. There are men and
women whose hearts bleed at the sight
OF the Industrial slavery which Is
creating millionaires faster than we
can count them while IL starves and
stunts and dwarfs the ones who alone
create the wealth
"The spirit OF social reform OBJ
served today is something entirely new
in the history OF the race. II does not
merely aim 10 ameliorate the condi-
abolish classes altogether and bring In
a pure industrial democracy-every
worker equal TO every other worker,
and each entitled to all profits OF her
labor.
This will put an end to the great
modern crime OF Industrial exploita-
tion: and the motive that inspires the
apostles OF this reform is brotherhood.
There is an increasing number OF
men and women who do not care TO
have any advantage over their fellow
men, who do not care 10 grow rich
at the expense OF the increasing pow
erty OF the poor These idealists are
trying to realize how this fair earth
will look when all the wealth II yields
shall be used for the education and
well being and comfort of those who
produce II; when the Golden Rule
shall be practiced and the long tan
talizing dream OF the brotherhood OF
man shall be realized"
