 the twaddle of the Reformer. If you
 want to reform there is but one quick
 way, and that is by elimination, and you cannot use that. We always lived and always shall, for it is an axiom, that if commenced we shall end, for anything that has a beginning must have an ending. 1 have no use for the greed, the selfshness existent to- day and which has always existed. It is up to the man himself to eliminate these things, and it's a task no man can seoff. We are common, for we are human.

The life of sev- 'nty, and few reach it, puts in fifty wo years in ineompeteney, in bed, iekness and pleasure, and to me 1t is
 mystery how any man cannot be up md doing. When the Angel of the Iord drove Adam and Eve from the arden, you men should know he prae- ieally told Adam and his to "go weat for a living" and ladies you ,now the curse pronounced upon your mother. Not a law governing Adam nd Eve has been changed. Not a new me added, nor one taken away. They re as inviolable and memorable to-day IS then. Men, you cannot evade your ate, nor women, yours.
