will incapacitate him totally and permanently,
such as the loss Of both hands or both feet or
both eyes OF any two of such members lie shall
receive sxtysiX and two-thrds per cent of his
average weekly wages during the continuance

The workman who received 81 per day and
who is totally and permanently disabled, would,
therefore, receive a compensation during tho
continuance OF his disability Of two-thirds of
S23.OS, or S15.38 per week. In case the injury
is total, but of limited duration, he shall re.

endures in its totality. For partial disability
there is a proportional scale OF COMPENSATION
For the loss of an index finger the injured EN-.

earned $l5 per week would be allowed as COM

Under the common law only such injuries as

To those who drafted the law the most prac.

seemed to be TO strike an average weekly wage

After the giving of such notice the injured

For the first fourteen days after the injuries

matter what method of insurance the employer

How. when and where will the compensation
be paid?

The Great Law of Brotherhood

\ third doctrine which is fast modifying the

implicitly, and the Christian Church has talked
a good deal about it, but never put II into e..

The past fifty years, however, have witnessed
more progress toward the realization OF the
brotherhood OF man than all the preceding CEN
turtles OF the Christian era. This progress is
seen In the widespread interest in all the

God Not King, but Workman

The thought OF God as monarch king is

lation of him through the achievements of nat.
urai science. lie now appears incessant
workman as universal servant, rs tireless
omniscicnt cnergizer. Is this thought of God

sublime sentences in the New Testament one
uttered by Jesus and the other by Paul--"God
is spirit, and they that worship Him must
worship Him in spirit and in TRUTH" and "In
Him we live and move and have our being"
Democracy has produced great change in
the popular conception OF the human ruler.
So long as the ruler held his place by right
OF strength and prowess or by right of birth,
he was often deified by the multitude, and so
became the type of the god gods. All
through tho Middle Ages the feudal system
supplied the popular conception of the king
dom OF heaven; and indeed, to this day the
commonest conceptions of Gods kingdom are
based on feudal-system creations and prac-
tises. The intimate connection between Church
and State, which has come down through un-
numbered centuries and exists to-day in most
nations, was natural and inevitable so long as
rulers held by divine right and God was only
a magnited human ruler.

sTiIE universal acceptance of the theory OF
descent with modification since The
.h Origin of Species" was published in
1859, the recent triumphs OF chemistry and
physics, especially in their biological connec-
tons, the rapid progress OF democracy since
the American Revolution, and the carrying
into effect not generally, yet frequently, of the
doctrine of human brotherhood, have modified
profoundly the thinking worlds religious
ceptions. Thoughtful people have dismissed
the antfropunorphic ideas of God monarch
king, or Lord of Hosts with all the imperial
and feudalsystem ideas Of Cod which have
SO long prevailed, not only among the masses
of mankind but among the intellectual lead
OF the race
No ideas about God have changed so much
however, the ideas about him as creator.
The doctrine of evolution represents creation,
whether of the heavenly bodies or OF plants
and animals, not as a piece OF work done onco
for all by infinite artiticer i'll short time,
and then left to run automatically pre-
determined scheme called natural law but as
growing gradually developing. and having

unmeasured future.
No thinking person now accepts as anything
but primitive myth fanciu poetry the
story OF the Garden of Eden, or the portrait Of
God In the second chapter of Genesis as be.
ing who formed man out of the dust OF the
ground as child fashions image out OF

sleepless, active energy and will, which yes
