Woe unto you ScrlbeS ana Pnarl-
sees, hypocrites! For ye pay 1.-THE OF
mint and anise and cummin, ann have
omitted the weightier matters OF the
law. Judgment, mercy and faith;
these ought We to have done, and not
to leave the others undone.
Ye blind guides which strain at
gnat, and swallow a camel.
Woe unto you, scribes, and Phari-
sees, hypocrites! For ye make clean
the outside of the cup and of the
platter, but within they are full OF
extortion and excess.
Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first
that which is within the cup and plat
ter that the outside of them may be
clean also.
Woe unto you scribes and Phari-
sees, hypocrites! For ye are like unto
whited sepulchers, which indeed ap-
pear beautiful outward but are within
full of dead mems bones and OF all
uncleanness.
Even SO ye also outWardly appear
righteous unto men, but within we are
full Of hypocrisy and iniquity,.
Woe unto you scrbes and Pharl7
sees, hypocrites! Because ye build
the tombs of the prophets and garnlsh
the sepulchers of the righteous.
And say, if we had been in the
DAYS four fathers we would not
have been partakers with them IN
the blood of the prophets.
Wherefore ye be witnesses unto
yourselves that ye are the children
of them which kill the prophets. j..
Fill We up then the measure OF
your fathers, ye serpents, ye genera
ton of vipers, how can ye escape the
damnation of hell ?-St Matthew %:
1888.
Numerous views have been ex-
pressed relative to the many and
great changes brought about by the
World War, but when summed up in
the last analysis destruction and de-
ception are the two words that ex-
press the sentiment of all honest,
thinking men. The devastation, raw
age and ruin wrought by the modern
machines of war on the battle fields
are more deplorable than the average
mind can conceive. Yet all this is but
petty and insignificant compared with
the incomprehensible desolatlon
brought upon the earth by the thous-
ands of dastardly camoufieurs with
which the world has been infested
in every age. 1t is this class OF
vipers that worked for the govern
ment for one dollar a year during the
war. to make themselves appear like
unto whited sepulchers, and by the
aid of the pro-British press made
themselves appear beautiful out
wardly.
Now that the great war for COM
mercial power is over the hypocrites
who are full of hypocrisy and iniquity
are showing to the world their true
character.
1t is the same people who promoted
war for gold, under the guise OF world
democracy, that have closed the mills
and factories with a view to starve
the working people into submission
and chattle slavery, and to accept the
open shop conditions
During the war these serpents up
braided and decried the Kaiser and
the German people. 1t is now ap-
parent that had any one of these pro-
moters of the open shop in America
been given the position, with the
power and authority of the Emperor
of Germany, all the fruit of Washing
ton and Lincoln's labor would have
been cast to the four winds.
When the advocaters of the open
shop project call it the American
plan they make mockery of American
ideals, and it would be an insult to
the nation to allow them to do as
many people were forced to do during
the war, namely kiss the American
flag, even though it was dyed in
German dye.
