First o' all, let vis «ei5 te it that, as far as
we cah, tbay have enough t<4 eat; Tho

girdled tho earth with apple orchards,
orange groves, wheat field', iiiiu oceans full
notwith^taiiding of flsh, and praiJlbs full of cattle. And
this, I will undertake to
say’ lhat'the vast majority of the human
fa nily are suffering either for lack of food
or the right kind of food. Our civiliza¬
tion is all askew, and God only can «*<jt If
right. Many of built the giVAtest estates of to¬
day have baaa out of the blood and
bones Of unrequited toil.
“Don’t sit down at your table with five or
six courses of abundant supply and think

right kind of food is the" cause of much of
tin' drunkenness. After drinking what

chewing broad, what many of our bakers call

“How can we serve our generation with

tiplying the loaves and the ilshes. Let us

“It is an awful thing to he hungry,” sal 1
the preacher. “It Is an easy thing for us
to be in good humor with nil the world
when wo huvo no lack. But let hunger
take, full possession of us, and we would all
turn into barbarians and cannibals and
iicnds. Suppose that some of the energy
wo are expending in useless and unavailing
talk about the bread question should be ex¬
pended in merciful alleviations. I have
read that the battlefield on which more
troops met than on any battlefield other in the
world's history was tho of Leip-
sic—100.003 men under Napoleon; 200,000
men under Sehwarzobcrg. No! No! Tho
greatest and most terrific battle is now be¬
ing fought all tho world over. It Is tho
struggle for food. Tho ground tone of the
finest passage In my of the great musical
masterpieces, ed the artist says, the hungry was suggest¬
to him by the cry of popu¬
lace of Vienna, ns tho King rode through
and they shouted: ‘Bread! Give us bread!'
And all through the great harmonies of
musical academy and cathedral I hear tho
the pathos, tho ground tone, tho tragedy
of uncounted multitudes, who, with stream¬
ing eyes and wan cheeks and broken hearts,
in behalf of themselves and their families,
are pleading for bread.
“Let us take another look nrouud to soo
how we may serve our generation. Lotus
see, as far as possible, that they have
enough to wear.”
The preacher dilated upon tho curse of
drunkenness and idleness, causing the
maelstrom that has swallowed down the
livelihood of those who are in rage. But
things will change, and by generosity on
tho part of tho crowded wardrobes, and in¬
dustry and sobriety on the party of the
empty war 1 robes, there will be enougli for
all to wear.
“God has done His part toward the dress¬
ing of the human race. He grows a sur¬
plus of. woo! ontbe sheep’s back, and flocks
roam the mountains and valleys with a
burden of warmth, intended for transfer¬
ence to human comfort when the shuttles
of the factories reaching all the way from
Chattahoochee to the Merrimac, shall have
spun and woven it. In white letters of
snowy fleece God has been writing for a
thousand years His wish that there might
be warmth for all nations. While others
arc discussing the eflf“ -t of high or low tariff,
or no tariff at all on wool, you and I had
better see it ia our wardrobe wc have noth¬
ing that wc can spar : for the shivering, or
pick out some poor lad of the street and
take him down to a clothing store and fit
him ont for the winter.
“Again, let us look around and see how
we may serve our generation. What short¬
sighted mortals we would be if we were
anxious to clothe and feed only the. most
insignificant part of a man, namely, bis
body, while we put forth no effort to
cloth ■ and feed and save bis soul.

In glad reality.
“And I should not wonder if, after we

in blissful bewilderment, and for a little

lined with foliage more beautiful than any¬
thing I oversaw before, and see those who
are walking down those aisles of verdure.
From what I have heard of them those two

its colonnades of porphyry and alabaster.
Why, I wonder if this is not the “House of

It is; it is. There must bo many of my
kindred and friends in tin's very mansion.
Hark! Whose are those voices? Whose are
those bounding feet? I open the door and

stairs, our long-absent kindred. Wiiy,

the children. All well again. All young
again. All of us together again. And as we
embrace each other with the cry, “Never
more to part; never more to part,” the
arches, the alcoves, the hallways, echo and
re-echo the words, “Never more to part;
never more to part!” Then our glorified
friends say: “Come out with us and see
heaven.” And, some of them bounding
ahead of us and some of them skipping be¬
side us, we start down the ivory stairway.
And we meet, coming up, one of the Kings
of aueient Israel, somewhat small of
stature, but having a countenance radiant
with a thousand victories. And as all are
making obeisance to this great one of
heaven, I cry out “Who is he?” and the
answer comes: “This is the greatest of "11
