1. The design is to set forth the
origin and development of the church
of Jesus Christ, and to display, to
the Christian dwellers
under the!
shadow of the great temple of Diana,
the unity and beauty of that trans-
cendently more glorious spiritual
temple of which Christ himself was
jthe chief cornerstone, and the saint,

variety and depth of doctrine, exalt-
ed metaphor, and animated fervour,
it stands unrivaled. In the epistle,
the divinest composition of man, we
have contained every doctrine of I
Christianity ; first those doctrines pe-

and unto a perfect man and unto the

General duties of Christians:
That the members henceforth walk

"False Conclusion"
Detroit. Mich. "The Unittd
States does not depend or wait upcn
the prosperity of the rest of the
world," Virgil Jordan. New York
Ci'y economist, told the industrial
conference of the National Associa
tion of Real Estate Boards here
Oct. 27.
The overproduction theory he de
cried as a "false conclusion" on
which to demand restriction of out
nut, limitation of industrial expan
sion, exclusion of foreign goods and
labor, reduction of wages and lower
ing of living standards.
The present business inactivity, he
declared, "does not mean that our
e'-onomic system
and our business

philosophy are inherently weak, that
jour production is excessive, and that
our standards of living are too high.
It merely means that we have failed

Any attitude of pessimism on the

"is blind to the strong features of
