October 25, 1894 THE WEALTH MAKERS 5 It members are bound together mere! to support Sunday worship, preaching j and devotional meetings. Their property is not common, is not held and used lor the common good, or to supply equally the needs of all. Their business interests are the interests of separated warring in dividuals and families. In the churches are the rich and poor. The rich do uot 'sell all they have and Rive to the poor.' They charge them usury for the land and capital they are not using. They do not really believe that the poor are their brothers, that they should share equally with them all things land, mine ral stores, the working forces of water power, chemical attraction, steam, elec tricity, and the rest but which God made .as much for one as for the other as much more or for the weak as for the strong. They do not appear to believe that we should serve one another without price, by love, each using his individual power, wisdom, skill, capital and legal advant age not to accumulate as much property as possible for himself, but to bring equal benefit to the less favored and oppressed about him. Therefore we conclude that the church is not "obedient unto , the heavenly vision," the vision of a Divine order, where, instead of seeking gain one of another, getting as much and giving as little as possible, men shall minister one to another, he who has most wis dom, strength, talents, skill, lands, j. wealth, tools, machinery, money giving - most, each giving all, that none may lack place and means to labor, and that by an unselfish division each may equally enjoy. We believe in this Divine order or king dom, and that it is to be set up upon ' earth, not through Divine miraculous power, but by men who have enough faith in God and the wisdom of his law (equal and equalizing love) to organize themselves into a working, wealth pro ducing body whose head shall be Christ and whose members shall have a common capital and labor product, and share equally the common wealth, or as each has need. There are nine or ten families, so far as we know, who believe this and wish to escape from the Ishmaelitish struggle, temptations and sin of the self ish business world. We have no doul t that there are many more all about us who will press into ''the kingdom" as soon as they understand the require ments of its law and the security and Divine blessings it offers to those who unite in obedience. We have not yet discussed in detail the plan of organization and compared views. But the writer has been asked to publish his understanding of the law of life and the salvation that obeying it will bring. , "For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even is this; Thou shalt love tby neigh bor as thyself." Impossible! men say. It requires the rich to divide eauallv with their Door brothers, and the labor burdens to be distributed equally, or according to indi vidual strength and mental capacity. It others' labor, selfishly storing up for the future what our neighbors are needing now. Men are too selfish. This law, the whole law of God, was designed for some future period, or an angelic race, not for us in our every day business relations here and now. It is diametrically opposed to the necessary selfish rule of the business world. So men say, or think. Nevertheless, it is God's law, and we hold not only that it is binding on every man, but that accepting and living by it will be safe, and will secure to the indivi duals who ''by love serve one another" peace, comfort, happiness, present enjoy ments greater . than can be purchased with unlimited money, freedom from all anxiety and most temptations, present and future salvation, in fact. A Christian corporation, body, requires for it beginning and existence nothing unbusinesslike. The soulless, selfish cor porations that we have today recognize the advantage of combining capital and uniting individual energy, strength and wisdom. The individuals who incorpo- rate and co-operate increase their pro ductive capacity and obtain economic advantage by so doing. Therefore a Christian corporation is wise from an economic standpoint. The individuals in a Christian corpora tion must put in all they possess, their strength, skill, wisdom, talents, time, and be equal partners. It would be a very considerable economic advantage and in crease the pleasure of living for the mem bers of the Christian body to come to gether as much as possible, to live in communities. Therefore those of us who wish to incorporate and "by love serve one another" as much and as economic ally as possible, must needs plan to sell what land we have and buy a body of land that we can come together on. That bIio Id be done as soon as possible. The advantage of buying land contiguous to Lincoln is apparent. But it is not absolutely neceBsary forall who incorpo rate and join our corporation to sell out and move intothecoinmunity. Some will be engaged in useful and productive enter prise with others so that they without losscannot at once separate. Thecommu . nity could not start a sufficient variety of industrial enterprises to provide the aci'tomed work for all sorts of workers. Therefore let as many come together as can economize labor and increase indivi dual service and enjoyment, but let any and all others living within a few miles who wish to live by the same law of equal love be voted into the corporation and adopt the same standard of living, which standard of living, by the way, would be arrived at yearly by dividing the com-' Is it any object to you to save dollars this yearP A great purchase of well made reliable clothing at greatly reduced prices owing to the hard times, enables us to offer you everything you wear AT WHOLESALE PRICES.

Hosiery Gloves . . . ors Minis mon product of all their labor Dy tne number of workers, or public servants, wives being entitled to an equal share with their husbands and unmanned adults. : The Christian corporations should thus grow, and asfaxt as possible organize industry, one line after another, to economize labor and increase the com mon product and individual benefits, Nothing need limit this growth of the Christian body nntil all individuals are attracted and "added together." Suppose there are twenty farmers among ub when we incorporate. Can any one doubt that the twenty could produce more and more economically, by a single wise systematic . plan, economizing in buildings,machinery and labor? Other industries will be undertaken and con ducted with the needful capital, the latest knowledge and best machinery. Much labor can be saved by building common storehouses and perhaps a community residence building (such as the rich are now constructing in Denver), with all modern improvements, by cookiug the food in the community bakery, using a community laundry, buying and selling at wholesale, etc. By purchasing land within three to five miles of Lincoln, street car accomodations can be extended to the community. The object of the organized workers should ' be, to please the all-loving Father, to escape from the pressing needs to be selfish which the present "each-for-himself" struggle forces, to help ono another, to bring "thegospel (good news of love) to the poor, to heal the (unloved) broken hearted, to preach (love's) deliv erance to the captives, and recovery of sight to the (selfish) blind, to set at liberty them that are (by oppression) bruised, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord" the jubilee year of the final and lasting restoration to the landless of their equal natural rights in the earth and all Divine creations and energies. So unselfishly working labor will be come the means of communion and wor ship, communion with the heart of the Infinite, and it will produce conjointly delightful creations, all good things, through exertion both human and Di vine. And our labor creations and lov ing services will make us God's messen gers, God's love, God's revealers in finite degree to one another. When we cease struggling to gain from each other, and give as we are able of labor service, we immediately become lovable, divinely attrnctivp, and each differingperson pos. se.es a npecial attractiveness Of his own. The test of Christian dieeipleship is given in Mark 10: 21-M. It is for those who read this to set up and begin to build a new world. Let as together perfect a Divine humanity, not by Sunday ceremonies, nor so-called devo tional exercises and passive faith, but by living only to serve one another, the greatest being the servant of all. NOT A POLITICAL QUESTION We clip below from The Nebraskan the bright, newsy, educational paper pub lished by the students of our State Uni versity, the statement of Chancellor Can field regarding the crowded condition of our State institution. The Chancellor is we doubt uot, right in believing that the peopie of Nebraska, thromgh their repre sentatives will hasten to make the neces sary appropriations to provide building accomodations for the use of the un parallelled number of our boys and girls who are seeking a university education. It is a fact to be proud of that our Uni versity is attracting such a multitude of students. It is an honor which we think should be divided between Chancellor Can field and his co-labonrs and the peo ple of the state. To get a University education in these times means for most Nebraska boys and girls and their par ents much self-denial and hard labor. Dr. Can field has done vastly more than an other Nebraska educator ever did to in crease the thirst for knowledge in our people and lead them to resolve to obtain an education for themselves or their children. And we would be the most foolish people in the world if we were to refuse to provide for ouryoung people all the facilities and room needed for the pur suit of knowledge. We cannot economize in the matter of schools and education. Below is what the Chancellor says con cerning the need of more room in State University buildings: The present crowded condition of our rooms and balls is unprecedented in the history of education. In most states time and money and energy are expended in placing information before the people and in offering inducements to attend the State University. But we are actu ally under the necessity of reducing our attendance fully one-half unless the next legislature is wise enough to give us such appropriations as will permitthecomple tion of the library building and the en largement in someformorotherof recita tion and lecture room facilities by at least ten or fifteen rooms. The Wisla- ture can do no less thau this without compelling us to determine by some artificial method which mustnecesxaril y carry with it hardship as well as some injiiMtice just how to limit t he attend ance of the University to not more than eitjiit hundred. Three years ago we had not to exceed four hundred and fifty stu dents at any one time upon the campus. At present there must be at least thirteen nave endured this strain as patiently as may be during the last year. Ithasnow reached its limit. We have endured it because we felt that it was a strange thing that the state government should not keep pace with the demands of its own people for higher education; and we therefore felt sure that if we could tide over the period between the two legisla tures we should find relief next spring. To secure this relief I am sure it is only necessury that the actual facts should be made known to the people of this state. So few of them have visited the Univer sity, and so few of them really know any thing about its condition, that the mat ter of getting information to the people in such a way as to carry with it a con viction of the necessity of action is now the most inportant matter before the University authorities. This whole mat ter is not a question of political parties or platforms; it is not a question as to what the political complexion of the next legislature shall be. The University stands for all the people and for all shades of creeds and political beliefs. It is not above any political party, in the sense of being greater than a political party; but it stands out side of all par ties as ministering to all and to all alike. The single statement to be placed before the people is that the University is carry ing nearly twice the number of students which it can carry strongly and success fully in the highest sense of the word", with its present facilities. The single question to be placed before the people is: shall the next legislature, as repre senting the people, make such appropria tions as will give the proper facilities for all who wish to attend the University; or shall the University go backwards, cut its attendance in two, and thus deprive a thousand students a year of opportu nities which they would otherwise enjoys. A certain paper and directing politician in this state have had the supreme gall and assumed the power to apply the master's lash to ourcandidute for gover nor for speaking on the same platform with another regularly nominated can didate. We have the whip used, laid up, and the attempted humiliation bottled for reference. If the public lashing and demand that there must be a fawning, lickspittle obedience on the part of Judge Holcomb, coupled with a warning that there is to be no child's play in this cam paign, does not arouse in all in our ranks the heat of intense indignation, then we have some amoug us who are Populists in name only.
