Pastor w l. Sims of the Seventh Day Adventist Church, in his lee. rre on. "Thc War Between Capital and Labor as Viewed from a Bible Standpoint" delivered in the So. cialist Hall. to large and appreeis. tive audience last Tuesday evening. Tt Is not like that which, in history has been termed the Thirty. Five Year War continued Mr. Sims. "It is inc combination of a war of centuries. It Is no, a war of one nation against another. It is world wide It Is not a battle at the present time with bullets and bayonets for supremacy or for con quest It is war for the Almighty dollar on the one hand and a battle for bread on the other. It is a war between organized capital on the one side and organized and unorganized labor on the other
 This war concerns us all. it touches us all we all feel it We arc part of |, and we cannot help it.
 And at such a time as ,his.- The crisis of the agcs--that church or tbat minister that will shut his eyes, sit still, lie down. go to sleep and he content with simply it's theories that have grown gray with the ages. Is not living up to the present privileges of the gospel
 .l. at... question Is one of eternal destiny. And men who are groping in the dark. should not be told that they are all right. Hut should have their darkness driven away by the clear light of Gods infalliblc and sure word of prophecy"
 Mir. Sims took for his text the first eight verses of the fifth chap ter of James They read as fol. lows.
 Come now, ye rich. weep and howl for your miseries that are coming upon you. Your riches are corrupted. and your garments are moth-eaten. Your gold and your silver arc rusted; and their rust shall he for a testimony against you. and shall eat your flesh as fire. Yc have laid up your treasure in the last days Behold. the hire of the laborers who moved your fields. which Is of you kept back by fraud. crieth out; and the cries of them that reaped have entered into the cars of the Lord of Sabbath. Yc have lived delicately on the earth, and taken your pleasure: ye have nourishcd your hearts in day of slaughter Yc have condemned. ve have killed the righteous one; he doth not resist you.
 "Be patient therefore, brethren. until the coming of the Lord. Be- hold, the husbandmar waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth. be- ing patient over it. until it receives the carly and latter rain Re ye also patient; establish your hearts; for the coming of the Lord is ai hand" Revised version).
 We have but to look around us :o sec that these texts are today being literally fulfilled before our eyes Never in the worlds history was there such heaping together of great treasures as at the present time. And never, amid such plenty was there. the world over such gen eral want and suffering among the poor.
 "lt is said on good authority that .( sl. money is collected or literally "heap- ed up" in the banks of the world And only five per cent of it Is doing the business of the world.
 "In 1900 the worlds money was estimated at nine billion dollars. The population of the world Is said to be about one and one half billion. lf all the money of the world was equally divided among the worlds population, there would be but about six dollars apiece But if only the five per cent of it, which Is all that Is in actual circulation was equally ! divided there would be less than thirty-five cents for each person.
 -'fhc concentration of wealth with | in the period of the lives of men now living has been greater than during the entire history of the world Men now living can remem- her when there were not half dozen millionaires in the land. But now there are over 400 millionaircs in the United States alone and about 1000 multimiilionaires There is one man. and a church member too. who | is reported coming millionaire, Such a vast sum one cannot eompre bend.
