And I could point you out some fellows, On this illâ€"fated planet Tellus, The necks of one another:â€" They know their interests too well Men fight; but every devil in hell Lives friendly with his brother. ‘"No," said the elder; "no such thing Fie_r_lds are not fools enough to wring spark § Exclaimed:â€""we must have missed our mark, f And entered hell‘s own portals: Earth can‘t be stained with crimes so black; Nay, sure, we‘ve got among a pack Of fiends, and not of mortals." They saw the captive eye the dead, With envy of his gory bed,â€"â€" Death‘s quick reward of bravery: They heard.the clank of.chains, and then Saw thirty thousand bleeding men Dragged manacled to slavery. "Fie! In massacres it wallowed: A noble nation met its hordes, But broken fell their> cause and swords, Unfortunate, though hallowed. They saw a late bombarded town, Its streets still warm with blood ran down ; Still smoked each burning rafter; And hideously, ‘midst rape and sack, The murderer‘s laughter answered back f His prey‘s convulsive laughter.

Young Spirit "Ar‘n‘t these a decent godly But strictly on condition, Whatever they should see or hear With mortals not to interfere; ‘Twas not in their commissionâ€" The elder spirit, wise and cool, brought down the youth as to a school Its face was so romantic; He couldn‘t persuade himself that man Was such as heavenly rumors ran, A being base and frantic.

Beamisville, April, 19, 1915 Do you believe that Gog ever inâ€" tended to bring about a war such as this, to Christianize His world, which He made without fault or blemish? Do you believe the waters should be polluted by the bodies and the earth made crimson by their blood? Do you believe the earth which is Hisg should be strewn with the dead. Do you believe that, for nme to killâ€" my neighbor is just and.right? _ Then don‘t you believe the words, "I will repay saith the Lord?" But not with money, or land. I believe for myself, that the day is fast approaching when the devil and his bigotry, will, like a cowardly wolf take to the uttermost parts and with hisg pups, hide forever from the face of â€" the earth. Why should be ride in a charâ€" iot, or be honored by a people who he, in his mighty power, is leading to the slaughter? Bringing only a curse from the nations upon this carth. Is it right that he should live? A man who has had every opportun ity to bring about things of a higher standing. He who should stand alone, should pierca his heart with his own steel, and die. h/ r/?V "f*? 2AAA afPtafPArfch I would like to ask the question, where do we stand today? With all the colleges and with all the educaâ€" tion which nas been taught through the colleges, wihere is the church or where are the people who have ‘beâ€" come educated for the hundreds and thousands of years in back history. Civilized, we say. Monsters, do you believe that God, who knows no evil, would dare to touch even the slightâ€" est of what is before us today. Murâ€" derers, the foulest of murders, what is life _ wortk? What is the soul of man worth? What is God Worth?l§_ God is a liar, when he says plainly to you and ms, that no murderer shall enter the Kirgdom of Heaven? Don‘t you think he meant jJust what He bhas said? When we take into consideration the amount of silly and idle gossip which is so very common these last days of lifs, and allow ourselves to become a part ana parcel, to what can only bring disgrace to body and soul, ‘me thinks it is very nearly time for common people to begin to touch up the more enlightened and educated classes, who at present rule, and dominate over the poor, with, not onily a high handed bigotry of words, but by kicks and thumps, if down keep down, â€" with no more reason or judgement than a heathen or cannibal in the wilds and jungles of Africa.
