THE GOSPEL TO THE POOR
Troth That Would, if Believed, Tiansform
the World All Should Read Tbii Ser
mon and Meditate Over It
Concerning Sin and Salvation.
(Continued from last week.)
God in heaven today hears the cry of
of earth's weary toilers as truly as he
heard the bitter cry that arouse from the
slave fields of Egypt 8,000 years ago.
And he who smote the crown and pride
of Egypt will smite the modern Pharaohs
who. to enrich themselves, "grind the
faces of the poor."
"LET THERE BE LIGHT."
The light must be turned on these
social subjects. . The press must do it.
Men who love truth and justice and hu
manity must stand in the pulpits of the
land and speak out against the wrongs
of men as distinctively as did the prophets
of olden time. Listen to Jeramiah and
' jjbell me if his words have no application
today: "Woe unto him that buildeth his
house by unrighteousness and his cham
bers by wroDg; that uses his neighbor's
service without wages and giveth him
not for his work."
Has not the Bible something to say on
work and wages? Ho w can a man preach
the gospel of God and not discuss social
problems? You imagine that God is
principally interested in ecclesiastical
matters he is chiefly occupied with
listening to the prayers of the devout.
, You imagine that religion has to do
mainly with ordinances, ceremonies,
creeds, etc., but this old Bible assures us
that God is as" interested in the manu
facturer's pay-roll as in the worshiper's
prayer-book. The great God who sits on
the throne of the universe descends to
make laws in defense of those who do the
world's work. Consider how tender, just
and humane this old Mosaic law is.
"The wages of him that is hired shall not
abide with these all night until morning."
To pretend to worship God and neglect
these things is rank heresy. The teach
ings of the Bible on work and wages
needs to be blazed before the dull vision
of the sordid world today. The church
has been telling men that they will be
damned unless their cited is correct.
This book declares that damnation will
fall upon wrong-doers rather than wrong
thinkers. ' Men will be judged not by
their creeds but by their deeds. Jesus
. found men whose religion allowed them
to "devour widows' houses" while they
made "long prayers." He did not de
nounce prayer, but he did make it clear
that to pay well was as much a religious
duty as to pray well. Wrongs done to
man cannot be canceled or atoned for by
worship offered to God.
"The Bible is humanity's book. It is
the peoplo's book. It champions the
cause of the weak against the strong, of
the poor against the rich. Not against
the rich because they are rich, but be
cause they are unjust. It is against the
injustice that the Bible wars. A system
that puts the multitude at the mercy of

en or more determine how much the mil
lions of America shall pay for the oil they
burn in their lamps. Another score or so
decide the price these millions shall pay
for the coal they burn in their stoves. If
the people complain these autocrats
sneeringly answer: "What are you go
ing to do about it? We have you in our
grip and will hold you there." Wendell
Phillips said he was ashamed of a civili
zation which made 5,000 men depend on
one. What would he think of a civiliza-
tion that made 60,000,000 depend onl
six?
I heartily concur with Washington
Tilari'den when he nave: "Christianftv. bv

emphasis to say to society, 'Your present
"Industrial system, which fosters enor
mous inequalities, which permits a few
to heap up most of the gains of this ad
vancing civilization and leaves the many
without any substantial share in them,
is an inadequate and inequitable system,
and needs important changes to make it
the instrument of righteousness."
The present century has made marvel
ous progress in material wealth, but it is
a question whether this increase of wealth
has bettered the condition of the masses
of the people. We must ever remember
that the condition of the masses is the
condition of the nation. We are not to
judge a nation by the culture and wealth
of the few at the top. New York is not
to be judged by its upper 400 but is lower
400,000. To be permanently prosperous
and strong wealth and culture must be
evenly distributed. It is belter that the
land should be held by the many than by
the few.
DOWNWARD TENDENCIES.
Henry George and I would that his
books were more widely read affirms
that the tendency of what we call mate
rial progress is in no wise to improve the
condition of the lowest class in the essen
tials of healthy, happy human life. He
goes further and declares that in reality
it depresses the lower class. The illus
tration that he uses is a very forcible one.
He compares the advance in material
progress to an immense wedge driven not
underneath but through society. Those
who are above the point of separation
are elevated; but those below are crunhed
down to lower depths still. The condi
tion of the under class in our large cities
confirms this view.
It is in the cities that the sharp con
trasts between wealth and want are most
visible. There are to be seen enormous
wealth and saddest poverty; sumptuous
idleness and unrewarded toil. Among
the hugest accumulations of wealth men
sicken and die of starvation, and puny
infants suckle the dry breasts of want.
Tennyson in "Locksley Hall Sixty
Years After," deals with these sad facts
of life as they were to be found in the
large cities across the sea. Some people
say he is growing old and is pessimistic
but I contend that sober, honest criticism
must admit that he is as severely truth
ful as he is sublimely poetical, when he
says in that poem:
"It is well that while w. rang .
With solenco, glorying in th time,
. : City children soak and blacken
Soul and tense in city slime. .
There among the gloomy allies,
Progress halts on palsied feet,
Crime and hunger cast oar maidens
By the thousands on the street,
There the master scrimps his haggard
Seamstress ot her daily bread.
The single sordid garret
Holds the living and the dead. '
There the smouldering lire of ferer
Creeps across the rotted floor.
And the crowded conch ol incest
In the warrens of the poor."
That great social inequalities exist no
one can deny. That these inequalities
should exist no humane man will affirm.
It was surely never the intention of the
Creator that a few of his creatures should
hoard and hold the bulk of the world's
wealth, while the vast multitudes were
pining in penury, and dying in want.
To say that these social inequalities are
of divine decree or appointment, is a libel
on the cross of Calvary. To lay on God
the results brought about by the greed
of man is the worst possible form of
blasphemy.
TO EACH HIS DUE PORTION.
I believe it is God's will that the neces
sities and conveniences and comforts of
life should be moreevenly distributed and
shared than they are today. It is against
the will of God that Dives should revel in
luxury, while Lazarus, at his gate' dies
in poverty. If a man is a Christian, and
has wealth, he will use his wealth to
ameliorate the condition of those who
are below him. For itis written: "Who
so hath this world's goods, and seeth his
brother hath need, and shutteth his
bowels of compassion from him, how,
dwelleth the love of God in him?" If we
Sossess the spirit of Christ, if we follow
is example, we will give our strength to
the weak, our culture to the ignorant,
and our wealth to those in want. We
will take men by the hand and lift them
up to our level.
Tha Diithnr nf "The Mensaoe of Jesus
to the Men of Wealth," reminds us that
the cross is more tnan a nistonc event.
"It is the law by which God acts and ex
pects men to act. As the Father sent
Christ into the world to sacrifice himself
in the service of men, so Christ sends the
corporation manager, the merchant, he
mill owner, the mine operator, the street
railway president, to be a living sacrifice
in the service of men."
What better prayer could we daily offer
than this:
"Give me the power to labor for mankind.
Hake me the month of each as cannot speak;
Eyes let me be to groping men and blind,
A conscience to tne base ana to tne wefts..
It is a fundamental truth of Christiani
ty that God is no respecter of persons.
He sends the rain and the sunshine in
discriminately to all. There is enough of
everything to go around. There is plen ty
for everybody. But the greed of man
thwarts the generosity of God. Man's
greed is such that if he could be would
get a "corner" on the sunshine, organize
a "trust" to control heaven's pure air,
and thus make a few rich at the expense
of the multitude. If any one presumed
to que tion the right of these bloated
monopolists, they would piously snivel
out "that it is evidently the will of the
Creator that some are and must be great,
er and richer than the rest."
"gathering in the sheaves."
It is fortunate for us that the sun is
00,000,000 miles away from the earth.
If it were nearer and men could get at it,
they would oaganize a company, board
it up, bore gimlet holes through the
boards, put a meter on and sell it for so
much per ray.
The same greed that has gobbled up
the land would gobble up the sunshine.
A corporation already controls tbelight
ning and charges what they will for the
electricity to carry our messages over
land and sea.
God has made this world so that there
is air enough to go around,1 and sun
shine enough to go around, and acres
enough to go around. The right to san
shine, the right to air, and the right to
land are inalienable rights. God has not
created more people on the earth than
the earth can comfortably support The
reason there is starving want in one
home and sumptuous plenty in another
home is to be found in the ignorance and
idleness ot men on one side, aud in the
greed and grab of men on the other side.
The reason some men have uncounted
wealth is because they have been mag
nificent plunderers. The world's wealth
has been earned by the many, and stolen
by the few. The few are enriched at the
expense of the many.
We proudly point to the amazing in
crease of wealth in this nation. We say
that our country is rich, aud it is. But
as Lyman Abbott recently asked, "who
made it so?" We havebeen digging coal
and iron out of the hillsof Pennsylvania,
and out of the rock reservoirs we have
been pumping oil. We have been gather
ing cotton from the fields of Texas, wheat
from the prairies of Dakota, oranges
from the valleys of California, and furs
from the seals of Alaska. We have been
digging silver from the mines of Nevada,
and gold from the gulches of the Sierras.
We have harnessed into our service water
power, steam, electric power and, but
from whom came this wealth, and to
whom do these treasures belong?
Who gave the electricity its marvelous
power of light und motion? Who "cut
teth out rivers among the rocks?" Who
created the ocean as a highway for the
ships of the nation to sail on? Who stor
ed the minerals in the mountains? Who
gave the soil its fertility? By whose la
bors have these riches been gathered from
the mountains and plain and sea? Did
our father in heaven intend Untie rich
possessions for all his children or only a
favored few?
If the Bible is true these necessities of
life belong, of right, to the whole family.
If Paulis orthodox, the laborer should
be the first to enjoy these blessings, for
it is written, "tne husbandman that
laboreth must be first partaker of the
fruits." As it is, the , capitalists get the
fruit and the laborer gets the rind and
core.
The social unrest that exists today
arises from the fact that the toilers the
real producers of wealth are waking up
to the truth that they havebeen unjustly
deprived of their God given rights. This
age needs a John the Baptist to lay the
axe of equity at the root of the tree of
injustice. It needs a Moses, a God-inspired
man, to come to the front, and by
his energy and eloquencef take the toil
ers by the hand and lead them from the
Egypt of oppression into the Canaan ot
liberty, fraternity and righteousness.
This deliverer will come. It is not uod s
will that men made in his own image
should be forever trampled upon by the
iron heel of wrong. The reign of the
Pharaohs wilrcome to an end.
He who sees a sparrow fall will not fail
to see and succor human souls smothered
and dwarfed by the greed of the million
aire sweater. He who, when on earth,
had not where to lay his bead, will not
forget the homeless outcasts of today.
He who heard the cry of the oppressed
toilers in the brick kilns of Egypt 8,000
years ago, is not deaf to the cry of the
over-worked and under-paid toilers in the
factories of Christian England and
America, and will come to their help.
Relief will come; if not by gradual growth
it will come by violence. Revolution is
delayed evolution.
Things refuse to be forever mismanag
ed. Some day, by laws as fair and fixed
as guide the planets, the heirs of the
world's wealth will come into possession
of their inheritance. Earth's monarchs
are her people, and some day these my
riad monarchs will mount the throne and
take their crowns. Some day there will
be on this earth, in fact and truth, agov
ernment of the people, by the people and
for the people.
We have been praying "God save the
King," and "God save the President."
Let us begin to pray "God save the peo
plej" "When wilt thon save the people,
O God of mercy, when?
The people, Lord, the people.
Not thrones and crowns, bnt men.
Flowersjof thy heart, O God, are they,
Let them not pass like weeds away;
Their heritage a soulless day
God save the people."
JUSTICE, NOT CHARITY.
If I understand the temper and mind of
the working man today, it is not charity
he wants. It is justice, simple justice.
He is not a mendicant with hat in hand
asking capital to give him a penny. He
is a free man demanding his rights. In
iquity is inequity. At the bottom of this
conflict between labnr and capital there
lies a black injustice. There will be no
peace, until that injustice is removed.
Nothing is settled in this world until it is
settled right. If that be so, look out for
revolutions, for ideas are simmering,
germinating, throbbing in the minds and
hearts of earth's toilers today. The
leaven in tne meal is spreading.
The final solution of these social prob
lems will never be reached until the
teachings of Jesus Christ are accepted
and put into practice by those who call
themselves by his name. He who took
the poor lad of my text by the hand and
lifted him up, is the one who is to lift all
men up from ignorance to knowledge,
from oppression to freedom, from the
blight of sin to the blessings of holiness.
Jesus Christ came to save man. He also
came to save society. He came to estab
lish a kingdom on earth, wherein dweell
eth righteousness. Our industrial system
needs to be born again in order to enter
into the kingdom Christ rules. The na
tion needs to be nationalized, christian
ized. The statesman of the future will
learn his statecraft from the truths that
the Nazarene taught. The triumph of
Christianity means that the people in
their social, national and international
relations will live as brothers; the good
of each, the law of all.
"LOOKING BACKWARD."
Listen to these words and tell me if
they are not a true picture. "Near 1900
years ago, when another civilization was
developing monstrous inequalities, when
the masses everywhere were being ground
into hopeless slavery, there arose in a
Jewish village an unlearned carpenter
who, scorning the orthodoxies and ritu
alisms of the time, preached to laborers
and fishermen the gospel of the father
hood of God and the brotherhood of man
who taught his disciples to pray for the
coming of the kingdom of heaven on
earth. The college of professors sneered
at him, the orthodox preachers denounc
ed him. He was reviled as a dreamer, a
disturber, as a commanist, and finally
organized society took the alarm and he
was crucified between two thieves. But
the word went forth and, spread by fugi
tives and slaves, made its way against
power and persecution till it revolution
ized the world, and out of therotting, old
civilization brought the germ of the new.
Then the priviledged classed rallied again
carved the effigy of the man of the peoplt
in the courts and on the tombs of kings,
in his name consecrated inequality and
wrested his gospel to the defense of social
injustice. But again the same great ideas
of a common fatherhood, in a social
state in which no one shall want, begin
to quicken thecommon thought.
your work And mine.
Opportunities of usefulness that an
angel might cover press on us from every
tide. This Christly work of taking men
by the hand and lifting them up is oi
we can all engage. You, merchant and
manufacturer, by doing justly to label
and laborers, can help bring the world's
trade and traffic in harmony with the
goU -.i rule of Chrict. You can join hands
with the few who are laboring to estab
lish a civilization brined on equity and
buttressed by love. You can make the
shop and the store as sacred as the
Writing to tutu Advextlser, Fleue nj
Vthca
a actuary. You can make the whirl ot
the factory wheels make sweeter music
thau that which arises from full voiced
organs and white-robed choirs in cathe
drals grand. You can help usher in the
golden age that prophets have foretold
and prophets have sung of, when justice,
truth and love shall be supernal and reg
nant everywhere. "Violence shall n
more be heard in the land, wasting, net
destruction within thy borders."
"Happy is the people that is in such a
ne, yea happy is the people whose Gcd
is the Lord."
Where should the church of Christ b
in this work of reform? She should lead
the van. She should take the initiative
in all movement that tend to lift hu
manity to higher levels. Every battle ol
right against might should call forth as
the churcn militant. The church of the
carpenter of Nazareth should be in
sympathy with the laborer and laborers.
I am glad to know that here and there
the church is moving in this direction.
There is a better day coming. The earth
moves sunward.
Let us, with head and heart and haud.
help the cause of humanity forward. Let
us recognize and fulfill the fraternal re
sponsibilities of citizenship. Providence
hath so ordained and doth so decree that
whether we will or not, we are our broth
er's keeper. No man liveth to himself.
If Christianity means anything it means
sympathy with others, justice for others,
self-sacrifice for others. It means that
that we who are strong ought to bear
the infirmaties of the weak. It means
that in the spirit, and after the example
of him whose name we bear, we are to
take our brother man by the haud and
lift him up.
The Fathers Favored? Government Money.
Jefferson, Madison, Gallatin, Dal
las, Calhooo, Jackson were all in
favor of the government issuing the
paper money direct to the people and
opposed to banks of issue. They,
with many others, held that congress
had no power to charter a bank, and
all the democratic platforms up to the
war had this plank: Resolved, "That
congress has . no power to charter a
national bank." fo-day the demo
cratic and republican party are com
mitted to national banking and the
banks owns the party. There Is a
law that says no banker shall be
eligible to a seat in congress. Yet it
is filled with them. There is hardly
a senator that does Dot hold bank
stock. ' ! '
By the Eternalt
' We need an Andrew Jackson in the
white house just about now; In hit
day when engaged in a war with
banks and money sharps he said: "By
the eternal, we . will see which is to
rule, the money power or the people."
If Jackson lived to-day he would be a
"crank" and an "anarchist" in the
eyes of the plutocrats.

Irrigated Farm Lands
Of THB -
FERTILE SAN LUIS VALLEY, COLORADO.
T HE SAN LUIS VALLEY, COLORADO, Is a stretch ot level plain about
as large as the State of Connecticut, lying between surrounding range
of lofty mountains and watered by the Rio Grande River and a score or
more of email tributary streams. It was the bottom of a great sea, whose de
posits have made a fertile soil on an average more than ten feet deep. The
mountains are covered with great deposits of snow, which melt and furnish
the irrigating canals with water for the farmers' crops.
The Climate is Unrivaled.
Almost perpetual sunshine, and the elevation of about 7,000 feet dispels all
malaria, nor are such pests as chinch bnge, weevil, etc., found there. Flowwb
artesian wells are secured at a depth, on an average, of about 100 feet, and at
a cost of about f 25.00 each. Such is the flow that they an being utilised for
irrigating the yards, garden and vegetable crops. The pressure is sufficient to
carry the water, which is pore, all through the farmers' dwellings. .
Irrigation.
Already several thousand miles of large and small irrigating eanals have been
built and several hundred thousand acres of lands made available for farming
operations. Irrigation is an insurance against failure of crops, because suc
cess is a question only of the proper application of water to them. The loss of
a single corn or wheat crop in Nebraska, for instanoe, would more than equal
the cost of irrigating canals to cover the entire state, so Important is the cxn
taihtt of m fall crop return to any agricultural state. The San Labi Yalley
