T.—Speaking at the Irving Square Presbyterian Church on the theme, “The Message of Christ to Capital,” the Rev. I. W. Hender¬ son, pastor, took as his text Matthew 7:12, “Therefore, all things whatso ever ye "would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them.” He said: Labor and-capital. The great cor related facts of the economic life of to-day, as throughout all ages they have been, are labor and capital, But though they are correlated, cap¬ ital is of secondary importance. In a simple society labor is central. In a complex society labor and capital may with reason be allowed to pos¬ sess an almost equal position of im¬ portance in the economic system. But no matter how influential and how powerful capital may become it can never usurp the central, prim'al, fundamental, ultimate position of labor in the economic affairs of man. The economic tendency 7 of to-day upon the side of capital is toward centralization, toward combination, toward concentration. With this dency toward centralization we have the spectacle of immense corpora tions gifted with a chartered power at the hands of a sovereign people, And-these corporations are engaged, many of them, in the exercise of this power in endeavors to control the output of the necessities of life; di rect and govern the markets of the world, and dictate prices for the necessaries of life without due re gard to fairness or to the universal laws, very largely, of supply and de mand. There are good and there are evil results to be expected and to be found in the economic trend of our day. The dangers of this economic ten dency so far as capital is concerned are many fold; and the first danger is, that in the centralization of wealth and the increase of capital beyond the bounds of safety, we shall have two different and distinct classes in the social life of our land. The dan ger is, that, with a society in which there shall be, in effect, but two classes of men, we shall have a re turn in an economic wav, to the un healthy conditions of the feudal re gime. The danger is that, upon the one hand, we shall have the cm ployer, on the other hand, the exn ploye; on the one hand, the men of money and, on the ether, the salaried. The danger is that, on the one hand, we shall have a class of independent wealthy men and, on the other, a mass of dependent retainers; on the one hand, the wealth holders and, cn the other, the wage workers. The second danger is from cor *$K>rate concentration. By virtue of Governmental enactments a corpora tion, though composed of personal! ties, is itself an impersonality before the law. The sense of individual re sponsibility is lessened and men are released, by the law itself, from that lively sense of personal duty which is incumbent and felt upon the part of the individual man with a personal relatien to the law and to trade. Men become the engineers of a huge mechanism. Humanity is lost in the machinery of commercial "life. Another danger of the economic tendency or. the part of capital to-day is that, bv virtue of its immense pow ers it shall grow up as a State within a State With the numberless and increasing ramifications and alliances Af our larger corporations there has grown up an alarming situation. Take, for instance, the most noted corporation in the land. However valuable the public services of this corporation may have been; however important its con.rihntions to E 0 C i etv as a leader in the march of trade. may be admitted to be; however mueh we may praise it for the many excellencies which it possesses, we cannot escape the fact that it stands to-day, tions,' as do many other corpora as a da»?er to the public wei fare and as a posffible enemy to the eommon weal. The ramifications, the business alliances, the political coall lions of this one corporation are so diverse, so Nation wide, so stupen dous as to be almost past belief. All this is wise from the standpoint of a pure commercial life. There is nothing inherently wrong in such a condition nf affair*; bring? if the rnrrelative nower which U be exercised with an eye single toward the light of right eousness. But if ever this enormous influence and capacity for good or for ill should become vested in the hands of unscrupulous men the danger to onr civil liberty would be verv real. If, in the course of time, the power ’of such corporations should become the property of unjust and ungodly men, whose creed should be selfish ness and whose commercial aim should be directed toward the satis faction of unbridled self-interest, im mediate and intense iniquity would, of sequence, result. The danger to these American people lies not in the strength of military force; not in an unselfish imperialism which strives for the amelioration of the peoples of the islands of the sea; but in the unholy use of dishonest power by im moral and_ conscienceless men of wealth. Then will be realized the prophecy of the State within the State. Then will come the test of capital, made arrogant with wealth, ii? the lists against the Governmental authority. It does not necessarily follow, whatever may be our fears, that com hination per se is evil. Combination is a natural and a logical result of the conditions under which we live, Anything, whatever its name, which lightens labor, enlarges efficiency, and increases the impetus of commercial life, is of value to humanity at large, Impersonality before the law is not in itself an unmitigated evil if so be the men who manage corporations do not forget humanity and God. Com binations and corporations are bene ficlal so long as they are good. It also does not follow, nstJssarily, that the possession of great wealth is a crime. Wealth is a sin only when it is unrighteously acquired or in humanly expended and used, The man who becomes rich in righteous¬ ness is an honor to the Common¬ wealth. The man who spends his substance in a decent way with due regard for the public good is a credit to the State, But bad men whose wealth is the result of malicious depredations upon the public, and whose moneys are expended in un clean ways, are public criminals and disgraces to humanity. It also does not follow necessarily that a system of corporate combination destroys in dividualitv. It may destroy to some extent the money making capacity of the individual; but to destroy a man's ability to exercise his financial in¬ stinct is not to destroy the man. In¬ dividuality is not a matter so much of money as of mind, heart, and soul. And any system which permits men to enjoy a larger opportunity for the exercise of their intellectual, moral and spiritual capacities, and which enables humanity to realize in a larger fashion the fulness of l.um&n personality upon every side, must be valuable to mankind Righteous com bination will afford opportunity for all the faculties. The individualism cf to-day is an insult, in the last an aiysis, to personalities who are made in the image of Almighty God. About all that It emphasizes is our capacity and desire to make money, And however valuable money may be and however much we may all need it, this is the eternal truth of Gcd, that that system which empha sizes this side of man s nature al most to the stultifying of his mental, ethical and spiritual characteristics is a thing of sin. The message of Christ to capital. And what is this gospel? If I under¬ stand the truth of God unto men of wealth as it has been revealed unto us in Jesus Christ our Lord, it is this, that money is a trust; that wealth is a talent; that the possession of e:: traordinary ability for financial sue cess and commercial leadership is a gift of God compelling inescapable duties upon those so blessed and ea¬ forcing tremendous obligations. A man’s money is to be used not unto the satisfaction of his selfish desires, but for the good of all. Men are not to be treated as slaves. They are not to be considered as machines. Bear ihg in mind the admonition of our ^ord. “Whatsoever ye would that raea should do unto you, do ye even to them,” our men of financial and commercial prominence should re member that even the humblest man is a personality and not a mcchan ism; that even a laborer is a child of the living God. If there are any men who should have patience, forbear »nce, charity, loving kindness, ten derness, comPfiseion. with and for the men who toil, they are the men who i- 1 the providence of God are s« premely endowed with the fulness aIlf i the fatness of the good things of life. It is the business, as, under God, it should be the happiness, of our man of means and of commercial prominence to study the comfort, to enhance the joy, to foster the educa tion, to assis*. che moral and spiritual upliffment of the man who is work *«£ ^ a wage. Their delight it should he, as it is their duty, to Beaten labor and to increase wages to the utmost limit that .he economic conditions which are existent will al- 5ow - They should see that the toiler has free hours, sufficient and often enough not only for rest, hut also for honest recreation. Men do not ask t°r alms, they simply desire a chance and an opportunity to do something more than exist—to live. In the darkest days of African bondage there were no worse, though there were different, conditions, than those which characterize the inhuman white slavery that is a feature of the eco nomie system of to-day. Multitudes of men eae out but a bare and, at i)e st, a miserable existence, as the ^ r uit of honest, laborious and often tim8 dangerous, toil; while those who P a E t helr wages live in splendor, af nuence, and, many times, in super¬ cilious and arrogant indifference to Christ t}»e needs to the of man men. of The wealth message is a call of for selfishness, self-sacrifice and kon ost philanthropy, The great need of capital to-day is an instillation in its heart of the prin cl Ples afi d the personality, of the character, and the convictions of desus Christ. Vie cannot hope for a sound exercise of commercial au C-ority, we cannot, wisely and sen sudy, expect a true development of our commercial life without the pres enc e o.

Brouarde! in an ad dress on the measures adopted by different nations for the prevention of consumption, calls attention to a mistake made in the different coun tries by ministers who have the charge of the financial department of the State. He says they like to calculate the sum the State gets -from the duty on alcohol, but they should deduct from it the cost to the com inunity of the family of the ruined drunkard, his degenerate, infirm, scrofulous and epileptic children, who must have shelter. This invasion of alcoholism ought to be regarded by everyone as a public danger, and this principle, the truth of which is ineon testable, should be inculcated into the masses, that the future of the world will be in the hands of the temperate, Response to Prayer.

It saved me from worse chan the torture of hades, about the year 1900, with itching on my scalp and temples, and af¬ terwards it commenced to break out on my hands. Then it broke out on my limbs. I then went to a surgeon, whose treat¬ ment did me no good, but rather aggra¬ vated the disease. 1 then told him 1 would go and see a physician in Erie. The | reply was that 1 could go anywhere, but a case of eczema like mine could not be cured; that J was too old (80). 1 went to an eminent doctor in the city of Erie and treated with him for six months, with like results. 1 had rend of the Cuticura Remedies, and so J sent for the Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Resolvent, and con¬ tinued taking the Resolvent until 1 bad taken six bottles, stopping it to take the Bills. I was now getting better, i took two baths a day, and at night 1 let the lather of the Soap dry on. 1 used the Ointment with great effect after washing in warm water, to stop the itching at once. I am now cured. The Cuticura treatment is a blessing, and should be used by every one who has itching of the skin. 1 can’t say any more, and thank God that He has given the world such a curative.
