The greatest war the world has ever seen
between capital and labor. The strife is
Bot like that which In history is called the
Thirty Years' war, for it Is a war of eentur.
I, it is a war of the Ave continents, It is a
war hemispheric. The middle classes in
this country, upon whom the nation has de
ptnitvd for holding the balanoeot power and
for acting as mediators between the two
extremes, are diminishing, and if things go
od st the same ratio as they are now going
K will not be very long before there will be
to middle class In this country, but all will
t very rlh or very poor, princes or pau
and the country will be given up to
nitres and hovels.

Frederick the Oreat admired some lnm'

After awhilo eraih goes tho money mar

articles manufactured in that iron mill
mid the owner does not hnow what to do,
Ho says: ".Shall I stop the mill, or shall I
run It on half time, or shall I cut down tho
men's wages?" Ho walks tho lloor of his
counting room all day, hardly knowing
What to do. Toward evening he calls all
the laborers together. They stand all
around, some with arms akimbo, some with
folded arms, wondering what tho boss is
going to do now. 'Iho manufacturer suys:
"Men, times are very hard. I don't make
20 where I used to make 100. Somehow
there is no demand now for what wo innnii

see, I am at vast expense, audi have called

There is n dead halt for a minute or two
nnd then one of tho workmen steps out

But the mill owner, gettiug in somo now

their cheeks uud off upon tho irround. but

That night in all tho cabins of the work

"Oh," says some man here, "that Is all

the Revolutionary War there was a heavy
piece of timber to be lifted, perhaps for
some fortress, and the corporal was over
seeing the work, aud he was giving com
mands to some soldiers as they lifted:
Heave away, there! Yo heave!" Well, the
timber was too heavy; they could not get
It up. There .was a gentleman riding by
on a horse, and he stopped and said to
this corporal: "Why don't you help them
lift? That timber Is too heavy for them to
lift." "No," he said, "I won't. I am a
oorporal." The gentleman got oft his

he said to the soldiers, "all together yo

LKSSON THOUGHTS.
Christianity Is no mere theory to be
" wi iiiniiriii any ueau-
tirul. There Is no experience In life
for which th Bible will not afford
some help.
Our week-day faithful, diligent,
practical service Is noted by God. and
accepted, as truly as la our spiritual
service In his holy temple on the
Lord's day. We should live always as
under the eye of the Lord.
SELECTIONS.
At best our least endeavor
Must faint and fall forever.
Without God's guiding finger to point
tne now or where;
Then let us choose his choosing.
All 8"lflsh choice refusing.
Nor question which Is better, to serve
him here or there.
There are three causes of failure In
service. 1. Some other message is
taught than that which the Holy Spirit
ClVCS. Men teach nelnnnu t.I, I l.,u,.... ..
- . , , 1 l'llllllWll,JI,
nit, sociology, and history Instead of
the simple word of tiod. 2. The llible
tile Splrlt-glven mcssngc. In studied
nnd sought to bo comprehended by the
nutural understanding: . P., without
tho S)lrlt's Illumination. 3. The Spliit
glvm message la given out to others
with "enticing words of mini's wis
dom." and not "In the diMiionsti'utlon
of the Pplrlt and of power."
The colored sunset nnd the starry
heavens, the beautiful mountiiliiH nnd
the shining seas, the flagrant woods
and the painted (lowers, they nre not
half so beautiful n a soul thnt Is nerv
ing Jesus out of love. In the wear und
tear of common, unpoetlc life.
Obedience Is an essential element In
llible study. "If any man will do his
will, ho shall know of tho doctrine,
whether It be of (iod, or whether I
ppenk of myself." Ho tlmt honestly
uses the light that he has shall have
more light, anil still more. ... He
that refuses to do (oil's will, ns In
comes to know that will, need not be
surprised If In processor time the miilo
becomes to hi in a sealed book, and thn
light that was In lilm becomes dark
ness. Jf wo would be strong, stnlwnrt men
nnd women for Christ, we must feed
upon him and his word. If we feed our
bodies ns little ns some do their souls,
how (iiilckly many of us would stnrvu
to death.
