U. 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. The antagonistic forces are closing in upon each other. The Pennsylvania miners' tribes, the telegraph operators' strike the railroad employes' strikes, the move ments 01 tne Doycotters and the dyna miters lire umy SKinnisners oeioro a gen fral engagement, or, if you prefer it, es Prif through the safety valves of an lm priooned force which promises the explo sion 01 suoieiy. xou may poonpoon it; you msv ssy that this trouble, Ilka an angry flHHl. win cry iiauu lu Blimp; you may ! llttie u uy cniuug it rounnrism or social um or Ht. Hlmonlsm or nlhllUm or com nmni.mi, but that will not hinder the fact that it Is the mightiest, the darkest, the aunt terrina threat or this century. All at t,miit8 at pacification have been dead fall. are!, and monopoly is more arrogant and the trades unions more bitter. "Give us more wages," cry the employes. "You Ijall nave less, say tne capitalists. "Com tl u to do fewer hours of toll In a ilnv.' "Von shall toll moru hours. "gav the others Then under certain conditions we will not work t nil," sny these. "Then you shall starve," say those. And, the workmen gradually using up that which they ac cumulated in better times, unless there be lome radical change we shall have soon in this country 4,uuo,uuo hungry men and worn (D. &ow, 4,uuu,uuu hungry people cannot be kept quiet.

Will this war tween capital and labor be settled by human wisdom? Nover. The brow of the one Becomes more rigid, the fist of the ether more clinched.

You have hoard of medicines so powerful that one drop will top a disease and restore a patient, and I have to tell you that one drop of my text properly administered will stop all these oe oi society ana give convalescence and complete nwutn .to all classes.

In the llrst place, thero trill come no pacification to this trouble through an outcry against rich men merely because they ore rich. There Is no member oi a trades union on earth that would not bp rich if ho could be.

Traps sprung suddenly upon employers and violence never took one knot out ot the knuckle of toil or put one farthing of wages into a caiious palm, unrimrlsm will never cure the wrongs ot clvlllzution Mark that. Frederick the Oreat admired some lnm' near his palace at Potsdam, nnd he resolved to get it. It was owned by a miller. He offered the miller three times thevulueo the property. The miller would not tuko 1 because It was the old homestead, and he leit aDout as .Nuootn lelt about his vine yard when Ahab wanted It. Frederick the Great was a rough and terrible man, and ne ordered tne miner into ins presence, an the king, with a stick ln his hand a sttc with which he sometimes struck his officers of state said to this miller, "Now, I have offered you three times the value of that property, and If you wou't soli It I'll taVjj anyhow." Tho miller saH, "V6";ir15iajest you won't." "V'es," said tho kj:ig, "I w sl y ill take it." "Then," Said thn miller, "If you majesty uoes time it i will sue vou In th chancery court." At that threat I'rederlel tho Oreat yielded his Infamous demand And the rnoet Imperious outrage against the working i'laWl will yet cower before the law. Violence and contrary to the law win never accomplish anything, but right, eousness and according to law will accom push it After awhilo eraih goes tho money mar ket, nnd there Is no more demand for tin) 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 facture, or but very llttlo demand. You see, I am at vast expense, audi have called you together this afternoon to seo what you would advise. I don't want to shut up tho mill because that would force you out of work, and you hnvo always been very faithful, and I like you, and you seem to like me, nnd tho bnlrus must be looked nftor, nud your wife will alter awhile want a new dress. I tlon t know what to do." There is n dead halt for a minute or two nnd then one of tho workmen steps out irom tne rniiKS oi ins ieliows ana says "Hoss, you have been very good to us, ami when you prospered we prospered, nnd now you are in a tight place and! am sorry, an we have got to svnumtlil.e with vou. don't know how the others feel, but I nro poso that wo ta'te off twenty percent, from our wages and that when tho times get good you will remember us and raise them again." Thp workman looks nround to his comrades and ways: "ilovs. what do vou say to this? All In favor of my proposition win sny aye. "Ave. nve. nve!" shout 200 volcus. But the mill owner, gettiug in somo now machinery, exposes himself very much anil takes cold, and it settles Into iineiimoniii aud he dies. In the procession to the tomb aro all tho workmen, tears rolling down their cheeks uud off upon tho irround. but nn hour boloro tho procession gets to the cemetery the wives anil tho children of those workmeu aro at the grave, waiting for the arrival of tho funeral pageant. Tho minis ter of religion may have delivered an elo quent eulogium before they started from tho house, but the most impressive things uro said that day by the workinir clusses standing around the tomb. That night in all tho cabins of the work ing people where they buvo family prayers the widowhood and tho orphanage in the mansion are remembered. No glaring pop ulations look over tho Iron fence of the cemetery, but, hovering over the scene, the benediction of (lod and man is a lining for :ne luiiuiment oi the Christlike Injunction, "Whatsoever yo would that men should do to you, do you even so to them." "Oh," says some man here, "that Is all Utopian, that is apoeryphul. that is Imnos slhle." No. I cut out of a paper this: "Ouo of the pleasantcst incidents recorded in a long time is reported from HhelTleld, Kng laud. The wages of the men In tho iron works at Sliellleld nro regulated by a board of arbitration, by whose decision both mas ters anil men are bound, lor some time past tho iron and steel trade has heon ex tremely unprolltnblo, and the employers cannot, without much loss, pny tho wages fixed by the board, which neither employ ers nor em plo veil have the power to change. To nvold this difticulty tho workmen In ono oi the largest steel works In HhcMeJd hit iilion a device as rare as It was generous. They offered to work for their employers one week without any pay whatever." uut you go with me, and I will show you not so far off us Hhuflleld. England fac tories, banking houses, storehouses and costly enterprises where this Chrlstllke In. junction of my text Is fully kept, and vou could no more got the employer to practice nn injustice upon nis men, or tne men to conspire against the employer, than you could got your right band nnd your left hand, your right eye aud your left eye, your right ear and your left oar, into physiological antagonism. Now where is this to begin? In our homes, In our stores, on our farms not waiting for other people to do their duty. Is there a divergence now between the parlor and the kitchen? Then there is something wrong eithor In the parlor or the kitchen, perhaps in both. Are the clerks In your store Irate against the firm? Then there is something wrong either behind the counter or In the private office, or perhaps In both. i ne great want of the world to-day is the fulfillment of this Christlike Inlunetion. that wblcil he promulgated in His sermon Olivetio. All the political economists un der the archlvault ot the heavens In con vention for 1000 years cannot settle this controversy between monopoly and bard work, botween capital and labor. During 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 none and came up to the place. "Now," he said to the soldiers, "all together yo heav.1" and the timber went to Us place. "Now," said the gentleman to the corporal "when yon have a piece ot timber toe heavy for the men to lift, and yon want help, you send, to your commander-in-chief." It was Washington. Nov, that'll about all the gospel I know the gospel ol elvlnv anmetuwlv . lift & net ni i .i..i ness, a lift out ot earth Into heaven. Thai ! in all th. vn.nl f fennw tk. .ui t helping somebody else to lift. "Oh," says tome wiseacre, "talk as yon will, the law of demand and supply will regulate these things until the end ot time."

Supply and demand stand on the shore, one on one side, the other on the otherslde ot the lifeboat, and they cry out to you, "Now, you pay us what we ask you for getting you to shore or go to the bottom!" If you can borrow 5000 you can keep from falling In busl ness. Supply and demand say, "Now, you Cay us exorbitant usury or you go into ankruptey."

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.
