grace and in the knowledge of the
Lord.
1t was never expected that the mis-
sionaries shall convert the world to
Christ. They simply form a nucleus,
make beginning, and then leave the
churches they gather to the natives
to carry on the work. 1t would be
wrong for us to attempt or assume
the work that should be done by
others.
Further, I am sure that the King
dom of God will linger many year
unless the church members shall be-
gin to live up to the rule carried out
by the Good Samaritan in his con-
duct to the Jew whom he found bad
ly used by robbers on the way down
from Jerusalem to Jericho. A new
spirit must possess us; merchandise
that is, self1shness-must be driven
out of the house of God, and it must
become house of prayer for all ma
lions, and not den Of robbers rob-
bling God of His dues while we pre-
tend to honor Him with our lips
The tomcats on the back fence
must cease to howl and oppose the
work Of God, and all who say they
have heaven in their pockets must
show it by what they do in kindness
to all men. We must have more unity
in the work-not the unity of num-
bers, but the unity of the spirit, the
all-comprehensive inc1usiveness of
the Kingdom of God.
Therefore, we must federate the
churches, and instead of keeping two
or three preachers in a little village
on starveling salary, we must send
two of them to the regions beyond,
hush our sectarian quarrels, and
prove indeed that We love our neigh
Dor as Ourself.

cd of Fighting Labor Wars

AND DRAWS SHARP REBUKE
Gompers Declares President for Pro-
lection of Manufacturer but for
Free Trade in Labor.

Washington, April president Taft
yesterday made a sweeping attack on
the principle involved in labor and all
other boycotts in addressing delega-
ton of Is business men of Bethlehem,
Pa The talk drew a sharp reply from
President Gompers of the American
Federation of Labor.
The delegation, which was headed
by H. J. Meyers, called at the White
house to protest against the reports
that had been spread to the effect that
the Bethlehem steel works, because of
the present strike, was turning out an
inferior quality of work. Mr.. Meyers
said that efforts had been made to
have the United States government,
as well as foreign customers of the
steel concern, boycott the works, the
claim being made that incompetent
workmen had been employed to take
the strikers places.
GOmpers Rebukes President.
When the speech of President Taft
to the business men of Bethlehem was
called to the attention of President
Gompers of the American Federation
of Labor, he said:
According to the presidents posi-
ton it is not the governments con-,
cern how brutal and inhuman the
workers of a concern are treated; it
matters not whether American work
ers are displaced by the worst ele-
ments of foreign labor, coolie or Jap;
Americanism may be possible
Of development among a company's
employees; it is simply question of
product. So long as the product is
acceptable the producers may be damn
ed for all time in the production.
''The president stands pat on the
tariff on products from foreign coun-
tries and stands equally pat in the free
trade in labor from all climes and
under any conditions"
