with God before they can get right and
stay right with each other. When
that time comes, all men will agree
that the laborer is worthy of his hire.
Then union wages will not neces-
sarily be uniform wages for all
Poverty will then be unknown, for
greed and prodigality will have been
destroyed by human, spiritually
grown love. The real standard Of

Church Holds Solution.
Congress cannot bring in the full
ness of the Kingdom by passing a
series of Utopian laws. Sin is the
heart disease of society, which is made
up of individuals and cannot be cured
by the external application of legisla-
tive plasters. The moral high water
mark of any nation is not its laws,
but the spiritual condition of its peo-
pie. The greatest enemies to society
are goddess people, whether they be
found among tn ranks OF the rich or
the poor, the capitalists or the labor
ers, the presidents of railroads or the
trackwalkers."
