WHEN THE ROLL is
CALLED UP YONDER

Aside from the fact that the true
religion of Jesus Christ insures clear
conscience in the lives of those who
accept it intellectually, besides 8
haven of rest throughout eternity
for the weary soul, we like to think
of it as the great equalizer, of how
it will ultimately rectify the Unequal
tiles of the present life.
Our mind is brought to the above
thought when we think of the great
I discrepancies that exist in the world
today-the social, commercial and
financial inequalities that are evident
on every hand.
1t is such a pity to see little boy
who is compelled to live in hovel in
poverty, deprived of many little lux
uries and even the necessities of life
that children who are more fortunate
can enjoy. The fact that such lit
tie one can see every day the pleas
ures enjoyed by his neighbors only
tends to make it doubly hard for him
to endure his poverty.
Our hearts are moved to compass
sion when we see strong husband
removed fro mthe family circle, .leav-
ing a frail little widow with house
full of orphans to provide for and
educate. We have actually seen lit
tie children left thus, making pite-
Gus applications for food to the
mother, whose only answer was a
tear that came to her eye.
IT'S such pity that young boy
or girl was ever compelled to prepare
for and embark upon career in the
world without the counsel and assist
ance of their parents. How the
young man or woman in their strug-
gle for a place of honor and respect
ability in the affairs of the world
must miss either of their parents
from whom they were SEPARATED in
childhood.
Many times it is the case that one
of the hardest working most consci-
entious and most helpful men of a
community has met with constant
misfortune and is in poor financial
circumstances while one of the most
tyranincal, heartless and wicked men
in the township, makes money at ev-
cry turn and amasses a great for
tune.
In the face of these conditions in
the world today, and when we think
of the foundation upon which the
Christian religion stands, we cannot
refrain from specializing as to the
great CONSERVATION and amazement
versus the joys and happiness that
will be apparent on that great day
"When the Roll Is Called Up Yon-
der"
When the records are laid bare on
this great day we like to think of
how the great Equalizer will function,
giving a prominent part to the indi-
vidual to play in the life everlasting
who was compelled to play an insig-
nificant part on the stage of this life,
and who was sometimes pushed clear
off the stage by boisterous, self-im-
portant actor. The lite boy will en-
joy luxuries and the necessities of
life there on a par with the rest of
his comrades. When this Great
Equalization Board meets it will be
possible for the husband who was
taken away from the family circle to
take them back to his bosom and en-
joy the haven of eternal rest with
them, happy evermore. On this
great day it will be possible for the
young boy or girl, who was deprived
of the needed counsel and assist
ance of loving parents in this life
to be happily reunited with them in
glory. In the full and complete life
of the hereafter, if the exacting land
