CONTROLS SUGAR TRUST.

Reno, New, Oct. Ex-senator Dnlli-
yer, of Iowa, declared last night be-
fore an audience here that God made
the trusts, not man, and that God
would be responsible for their regula-
ton. Senator Dolliver said in part:
Trusts are governed not by any
statute, but by the laws God made for
the protection of His own people. The
laws of God are equal to the task of
regulating the growth of the trusts
Citing the law of maximum con-
sumption, Senator Dolliver said that 1t
was to the interest of the trusts to
make prices low. so that consumption
would increase; that postage stamp
revenue increased in proportion as the
price of stamps was reduced by law;
that sugar sales increased and the
profits thereof with the reduction oil
the price, and fell with it's advance.

Tonic. - Commencing our society.-Iv.
xvi, l. 2; Nal. iii, 7-12.
Life is continual receiving and Civ
ing. We receive from God directly and
indirectly great blessings and gifts. We
are expected in return 10 give and
even to give to God-not that God
needs our gifts. but that we need to
make the gift. There is a feeling in
every thoughtful soul that we must
render something unto God for all His
benefits. Davids exclamation, What
shall render unto the Lord for all His
benefits" finds an echo in every heart.
Even the idol worshiping heather in
all ages have felt the operation of this
same inward feeling and have respond
ed to it. Freely we have received from
God freely we should give to God.
But how shall we give? What is the
divine law upon this subject? 1t Is I'M
doubtedly systematic and generous Civ
ing This method is Scriptural. practi-
cable, effective and has the promise of
Gods blessing.
/. Systematic and generous giving is
Scriptural. In the Old Testament dis
pensation tenth was the demand of
God. Abraham probably gave tenth
of his substance to God. Jacob vowed
, to do So and it may have been before
this that he had failed to do what was
required and customary. In Lev. xvii,
80, it is directly and plainly asserted
that n tenth shall be given to God.
"All the 1.-THE of the land. whether of
the seed of the land or of the fruit of
the tree. is the Lords" In the topical
