I ask that the 'sectarian swag ger be abolished forever. Let no body strut across the stage of re ligion or brotherhood, society or in dustry to-day. Let us have uni versal brotherhood and universal religion for the welfare of the race. We are living In a most momentous era. The changed condition of af fairs that has come about should usher in within the next ten or fif teen years the greatest change the world ever has experienced. We are on the eve of the greatest evange listic revival we have ever known. Points to Sovereignty "No organization not in harmony with Jesus Christ shall have any part in the regulation of the affairs of the world. The church is a super personal organiization given by God to heal the heart of a broken world. The sovereignty of Jeßus Christ be longs everywhere. It should be in capital and for its proper and Just regulation. This is the secret of a solution of three difficulties. The conciliatory attitude of finance to-day is a miracle. Labor was never as sane as it is to-day. Get down into the columns away from the head lines of your newspapers. Get the real facts, the other side.
