Finally the minister Of the Anglican
Church remarked to the Presbyterian
minister and myself that the secret Of
the matter lay in the fact that was
preaching to the people Gospel Of
Hope. quite agreed with this, and
trust that the ministers In Kingston
may be encouraged to proclaim the
same God of Love, the same Gospel Of
Hope beyond the grave-a hope for
the sanity of becoming joint-heirs with
Christ in His Kingdom; hope for the
remainder of the race, that they will
receive only just and reasonable
stripes, or punishments for sins. pro
pOrtionate to their wilfulness-and
that withal the Lords arrangement is
graciously to grant all mankind an op-
J portunity of restoration to human per
| fection in a worldwide Eden. All this
is to be brought about through Mes
siah's Kingdom. and that Kingdom is
nigh, even at the door,
The New Decentralization.
The Pastor declared that he well un-
derstands the attitude Of the rich and
the learned, and how they discount the
prospects of a social revolution. Rea-

experiences In the past, many Of the
worldly-wise say, I'VE are amenable
to the laws, and the laws will uphold
US and will take care of those disposed
to anarchy. Revolution may not come;
the struggle may be altogether avoid
ed; but If it come to the worst. brains
and money will surely rule. If 1t shall
be necessary to shoot down in cold
blood some of the anarchically disposed.
we shall be sorry, but we see no other
way. We see no reason for worry,
however, nor for especially changing
our course. The pages Of history sup
port us in this view"
These able reasoners seem generally
to forget that in one respect the peo-
pie of the present time differ material
ly from the people of times gone by.
! In olden times the people were unedu'
Gated, and incapable Of anything with
out able leadership Indeed, the few
educated ones were often honored
slaves, possessed Of no political mflu'
ence or opportunity. All this Is chang
ed now. The masses are not only able
to read and write. and capable OF ex
crcising their reasoning faculties, but
they are alert as never before In the
worlds history. They, too, are acquis
tive and ambitious.
