The following statement was
clipped from the Philadelphia Public
Ledger Of September bearing on
the subject:
1.-THE Arsenal will broaden the scope
of its activities and seek miscellane-
GUS contract from the government in
competition with private concerns,
such as the manufacture OF mail bags
and other products, in order to keep
the working force together now that
relatively little ordnance and other
war supplies are required. The
Arsenal now maintains representa-
tive at Washington, R. L. Cornick,
to bid for contracts.
1T is possible that in bidding
against private concerns. the Arsenal
will have the advantage, even with
thirty-day vacations and f0rty-four
hour week, owing to the fact that at
the Arsenal the government supplies
the plant and equipment. while pri-
vate competitors are turdened with
the necessity of earning return on
invested capital"

SERMON ON


I am told by many of the wise
ones that Socialism is dead. I
am told that the burning issues
Of the Great War have divided
and scattered the advocates of
Socialism and caused the move
ment to die.
It is true that a good deal of
dividing and scattering has been
done during these red years; but
it is the same kind of dividing
and scattering that happens
when a whirlwind sweeps over
a field of burning stubble. It
only scatters the fire more wide
ly and causes it to catch in many
new places.
It is supposed by those who
take only a superficial view of
things that Socialism is merely a
political party. They try to
measure it's ups and downs and
figure out its final end by the
same rules that apply to other
political parties.
But that won't do. Socialism
is not a political party. AL po-
litical parties start at the top
and build downward. Socialism
fstarts at the bottom-among
the submerged masses-and
builds upward. Before the out
break of the war it had not
reached high enough to touch
the great seats Of power; but il
was causing a mighty uneasiness
among the crowned heads anc
the captains of industry as they
watched it's slow but Steady rise

The measurements of the four
sides Cat it's base) added to-
gether give the exact time in
four years, to the very fraction
and makes due allowance for
the Leap-Year.
There is but one opening into
the Pyramid, and that is on the
north side, and fifty feet above
the base. From this entrance
door one starts into a narrow,
straight, declined passage or
hallway, 4044 inches 1887 feet)
long. The slant is regular and
rather steep and passes down
ward through the foundation of
the Pyramid and goes on its
downward course, through the
natural rock, q distance of one
hundred feet below the base line,
until it meets a little room or
pit" 46x28 feet, cut in the solid
natural rock UNDER the Pyra-
mid.
AS before stated, the distance
from this "pit" room to the en-
trance door in the north side of
the Pyramid is 4O44 inches (337
feet.) This is an important
point to remember, as the length
of this hallway, expressed in
inches, is supposed to give us
the number of years the human
race would be going down the
slanting road toward the pit
of trouble and disaster-count-
ing from the time when the
Pyramid was built. Now if we
know when it was built we can
start at that date and run down
4O44 years and find when the
Time of Trouble, spoken of by
Christ and Bible writer's, was
due to begin. Their words on
this turbulent time are as fol-
lows:
At that time there shall be a time
of trouble such as never was since
there was a nation.-Dan. 12:1.
For there shall be great tribulation
such as was not since the beginning
of the world.-Matt. 24:21.
When was the Pyramid built !!
This is the point to be learned in
order to get a starting point fol
the 4O44 years. All, the date
of the building of that great
stone witness has troubled the
HEADS of generations, but Coo
had it marked in a hidden way
so that when knowledge shall

Daniel, the Lord would let me1

it has the instinct to cry, and a
dim, wordless hope that the cry
ing will help to bring the thing
that it needs. The baby does
not know nor care anything
about the right or wrong of
what it is doing. There is no
right or wrong in it-there is
only suffering and need.
From such a sense OF world

fed.
Small wonder, then, that un-
wise things, and even very bad
things, are sometimes done in
the name of Socialism. Natur-
ally the ranks Of Socialism are
recruited from the unfortunate,
down-and-out element. It could
not be otherwise. If one man is
sitting down on another man and
MASKING his life out, which of
the two men would be most like
ly to raise a howl about it? The
one on the bottom, of course.
Because the one on top is very
we'll fixed and has nothing to
howl about.
Try as we will to smut our eyes
to it, the fact remains that there
are two great classes in the
world-the rich ruling class and
the poor working class. In
theory the interests of these two
classes are the same, but in fact
they are very different. When
q dog gets after a rabbit, it is
to the dogs interest to catch the
rabbit, but it is to the rabbits
interest to keep from being
caught. One man will sympa-
thize with the dog, and another
man will sympathize with the
rabbit. And so there you are.
But all the worlds philosophy
cannot harmonic those two in
terests.
The ruling class has never
made any effort to get the view
point Of the workers, and it can
not reasonably expect for the
workers to get it's viewpoint.
For a long time I have been
uneasy about the possible con-
, sequences of this clash of inter-
ests. [ have felt convinced that
if the rich persisted in grinding
the faces of the poor until they
: got desperate enough to rise up
, and demand their rights, there
would be trouble a-plenty and to

And now it begins to look like
that time has come. Rich and
poor alike realize that the war
1 has shaken the underpinning out
t from under the whole structure
$ of civilization. It is admitted
on all sides that everything must
be rebuilt. The rich ruling class
would like to have it rebuilt Just
like it was before; but the poor

The great secrets and history
dwelling in this Egyptian monu-
rnent are brought to light by
measuring and calculating its
angles. If you know anything
about geometry and trigonome-
try you know that there is a way
of measuring distances by a pro-
cess called Triangulation. Civil
engineers use this method in fig
uring the distances across riv-
ers or through mountains where
the chain cannot be carried. The
rule works with e%xactness and
shows distance more accurately
than chain measurement. There
fore, by applying this and other
mathematical rules to the great
stone Pyramid of Egypt it re-
veals wonders. It speaks out in
laundering tones, and yet says
not a word. For instance, by
measuring the distance from the
northeast corner lat base) to
the southwest corner, and add
