THE BROTHERHOOD OF MAN.

On last Sunday, in Chicago Lawn
Congregational church, the widow of
DR.. Fl. w. Thomas read a sermon that
was delivered by him in 1888, on the
occasion Of the opening of the Worlds
Columbian Exposition, entitled, The
Universal Brotherhood Of Man" In
the audience of over 1000 persons who
heard the original sermon there were
representatives OF every race and ma
ton in the world. It was a plea for
the abolition of race prejudice and an
exposition of the common interests of
all human beings The sermon was a
remarkable one in the undisputable
facts it contained. 1t said: "The hui
man mind is the same wherever h.
man beings live. It puts men on a
common plane, above every other form
OF life or matter. Be he European,
Celestial, Jew or African, he stands
above everything around him. HUI
man conscience is the same every
where. 1t tells every human being to
do what he thinks is right. 1t is the
common possession of men OF every
race and stage Of civilization. Affec-
tons, 1--we OF music and the aesthetic
sense also, are the common posses
slons Of all men. These things should
weld all human beings into a great
brotherhood"
Would to God that there were many
mere men such as Dr.. Thomas who
have the courage of their convictions.

SOUNDS THE KEYNOTE.

Upon the solid rock of the
rights of the individual as grant
ed by the Constitution, the Re-
publican party builds it's struc-
ture of optimism. The Demo-
cratic party, on the other hand,
in the opening sentence of it's
address to the electorate, be-
trays it's occasional quality by
denying the right of Congress, a
right again and again confirmed
by the Supreme Court, to estab-
Iish protective duties for the ben
eft Of American industries. 1t de-
cIares as false the vital issue of
the constitutional liberties of the
individual. Such liberties are
now assaiIed by those who advo-
cate the overthrow of the inde-
pendence of the judiciary. It
would leave the Individual de-
fenseless in the protection Of
those rights declared inalienable
under the Constitution.-Char
