National Opportunities.

Washington.-Justice David Brew
er of the Supreme Court of the Unit
ed States spoke at the Mount Pleas
ant Congregational church in this
city on ''Our National Opportuni-
ties. F" While he dwelt especially up.
on the power of Christianity to up
lift the masses of the people and Of
its efficiency in bringing the immi-
grants who swarm to the United
States into harmony with American
institutions, he incidentally took occa-
sion to speak of the influence Of spe-
cial interests on the welfare of the
people generally.
"'Rich and poor" he declared,
" should be protected. We can never
come to the full measure Of that truth
so long as we permit any group of
any persons or corporations
to crush the individual, nor can we al
low any labor organization to dictate
any course we should follow"
