This mako him angry, and, seizing a club, ho at tempts to mako them liko it. One trouble about this rulo is that it works both ways: when a man starts out to compel his neighbors to think as ho does, he generally finds them willing to accept tho challenge and they spend so much tirao in trying to coerco .each other that they havo no time left to bo of servlco to each other. Tho other is tho Bible plan be not overcome of evil, but over come evil with good. And there is no other way of overcoming evil. I am not much of a farmer I get more credit for my farming than I deserve, and my little farm receives moro advertising than it is entitled to. But 1 am farmer enough to know that if I cut down weeds thoy will spring up again, and I know that if I plant something thero which has moro vitality than tho weeds I shall not only got rid of tho constant cut ting, but have the benefit of the crop besides. In order that thero might bo no mistake about His plan of propagat ing good, Christ went Into detail and laid emphasis upon the value of ex ample "so livo that others seeing your good works may be constrained to glorify your Father which is In Heaven." There is ro human influ ence so potent for good as that which goes out from an upright life. A sermon may bo answered;1 the argu ments presented in a speech may be disputed, but no one can answer a Christian life It Is tho unanswerable argument in favor of our religion. It may be a slow process this conversion of the world by the silent influence of a noble example, but it is the only sure one, and the doctrine applies to nations as well as to In dividuals. The. Gospel of tho Prince of Peace gives uh the only hope that tho world has and it Is an Increas ing hope of tho substitution of rea son for the arbitrament of force in the settlement of international dis putes. But Christ has given us a plat form more fundamental than any po litical narty has ever written. We are interested in platforms; we at tend conventions, sometimes travel ing long distances; wo havo wordy wars over the phraseology of various planks, and then we wage earnest campaigns to secure tho indorsement of these platforms at the polls. But the platform given to tho world by the Nazareno is moro faT-reaching and moro comprehensive than any platform ever written by the conven tion of any party in any country. When He condensed into one com mandment those of- the ten which re late to man's duty toward his fellows and enjoined upon us tho rule, "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself-' He presented a plan for tho solution of all the problems that now vex so ciety or may hereafter arise. Other remedies may palliate or postpone tho day of settlement, but this is all sufficient and tho reconciliation which it effects is a permanent one. If I were to attempt to apply this thought to vaTious questions which are at issue, I might be accused of entering the domain of partisan poli tics, but I may safely apply it to two great problems. First, let us consider the question of capital and labor. This Is not a transient i3sue or a local one. It engages the atten tion of the people of all countries and has appeared in every age. The immediate need in this country Is arbitration for neither side to the controversy can be trusted ro aeai with absolute justice, If allowed un disputed control; but arbitration, like a court, is a last resort. It would be better if the re lorinnB rmtween employer and em ploy were such as to mako arbitra tion unnecessary. Just In proportion as mon recognize thjlr kinship to each other and deal with oach other in tho spirit of brotherhood will friendship and harmony bo secured. Both employer and omployo need to cultivate tho spirit which follows from obedienco to tho great com mandment. Tho second problem to which I would apply this platform of poaco Is that which relates to tho accumu lation of wealth. Wo can not much longer, delay consideration of tho ethics of monoy-making. That many of tho enormous fortunes which have been accumulated in tho last quarter of a century aro now held by mon who have given to society no ade quate servlco In return for tho mon ey secured is now generally recog nized. Whilo legislation can and should protect the public from preda tory wealth, a more effective remedy will bo found in tho cultivation of a public opinion which will substitute a "higher Ideal than tho one which tolerates tho enjoyment of unearned gains. No man who really knows what brotherly love is will dcslro to take advantage of his neighbor, and the conscience when not scared .will admonish against injustice. My faith in the future rests upon tho belief that Christ's teachings aro being more studied today than over before and that with this larger study will come an application of those teach ings to the everyday life of the world. In former times men read that Christ came to bring life and immortality to light and placed tho emphasis upon immortality; now they are studying Christ's relation to human life, In former years many thought to prepare themselves for future bliss by a life of seclusion here; now thoy are learning that they can not follow in tho footsteps of tho Master unless they go about doing good. Christ declared that Ho came that wo might have life and havo it moro abundantly. Tho world Is learning that Christ came not to nar row life, but to enlarge it to fill it with purpose, earnestness and hap piness. But this Prince of Pence promises not only peace, but strength. Some have thought His teachings fit only for tho weak and the timid and un- suited to men of vigor, energy and ambition. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Only the man of faith can bo courageous. Confident that he fights on tho sido of Jehovah, he doubts not tho success of his cause. What matters it whether ho shares In the shouts of triumph? Tf every word spoken in behalf of truth has its lnfluenco and overy deed dono for tho right weighs In the final ac count, it Is 'immaterial to tho Chris tian whether his eyes behold victory or whether he dies in tho midst of tho conflict. "Yea. though thou lie upon tho dust, When they who helped theo flee in fear, Dio full of hope and manly trust, Liko those who fell in battle here. Another hand thy sword shall wield. Another hand the standard wave, Till from tho trumpet's" mouth Is pealed The blast of triumph o'er thy grave." k Only tboso. who believe attempt the seemingly Impossible, and, by attempting, prove that one with GOd can chase 'a thousand and two can put ten thousand to flight. I can imagine that the early Christians who were carried into the arena to make a spectacle for those more sav age than the beasts, were entreated by their doubting companions not to endanger their lives. But. kneeling in the center of tho arena, they prayed and sang until they were de voured.
