Jesus is the only hope for univer-

the primal source of all unrest, hatred.

element of human nature. the heart
and soul Of man." the Rev. Horace
A. Sprague, pastor Of the Hall Place
NJ. E. Church, declared Sunday while
preaching on Universal Brotherhood;
How?"
Let men find a common need, and
that the need of pure hearts and hon
est, purposefuI lives and men become
automatically and very naturally
brothers and the universal brother
hood becomes no longer a vision or
a dreamer's dream but living reality
in even everyday nfe," the Rev.
Sprague declared
Continuing, he said: Let the
church 1--we the Christ, love in the
sense of Christ and serve in the spirit
of Christ until the wearied children
Of men shall be attracted unto the
kingdom of Christ and 1t will be an
. easy matter to induct them into that
kingdom of love and brotherhood.
''Ex-President woodrow Wilson
Agaas written a splendid article
n the Atlantic Monthly in which
he approaches wisely admitting
his convictions that we are victims OF
many wrong conditions, and tracing
all these wrongs 10 a primal source,
and from his statements. we con-
clude Mr.. Wilson believes that all the
disturbances in Russia and all our
wrong conditions as we'll may be
traced to the evil conditions involved
in the relationships between labor
and capital, and he further infers
that all existing wrongs might be rec
tilted by adjusting these relationships
'Thus, he places the possible foun-
dalton Of human brotherhood on the
purely financial and economic basis

we could believe that al men being
created equal in the sight of God or
being made equal by human power or
