Until thmirht thev were right, but both wr. MitiniiT wronsr. Greed sat- en throned In the life of each and made Ahem unnatural sons of their earthly father' and heavenly father alike. "Jesus knew that greed for this world's goods was at the bottom of the trouble. Both wanted something that kielther had earned. Jesus gets at the Toot of thematter and gives a parable on covetouenesn. He came to eradicate evil, not to palliate lit. Aa long aa men's -hearts are wrong their lives will ba Srrong, and their clamor for their rights 'will be but the outcry of unsatisfied greed. might versus mights. "Jesus came, not to get men their rights, but to get them right. This is fundamental. Two men whose hearts ara right never need an arbitrator. If a misunderstanding arises they can set tle it alone. Why Is .there ever trouble abetween an employer and his men T Be Wuh greed aita enthroned upon the heart of one or the other or both. And ;wbat is the ultimate solution? Not ar bitration, though arbitration Is Infin itely better than war. i M t "Who shall dictate tha terms of set- Moment? The employer?

If both ara selfish, but will consent to arbitra tion, that may Keep tne mm runnini and money flowinr into the coffers o the employer and Dread In the mouths of wives and children. That is infin itely better than lockouts and boycotts, "Rut there is something- better Still. Let both employer and - employe ba dominated by the spirit of Christ, who la the very Incarnation of Justice and honor and square dealing, and there will ba no need of an arbitrator. "Tha best way to get your rights Is to get yourself right. For If you ahould set your rights before you are right. you are in danger of exceeding your rights and trespassing upon the rights of others. The on v tiling that can pos slbly sava a man from that Is the right eousness of God. Oovatonsness and Its Crimea. "Selfishness lying at tha root of cot atousnesa makes it tha breeder of nearly alt sins and crimes against' God and man. it nas neen tne causa or ytry war. every tear, evory heartache. It Jim dethroned honor, justice and rea son, it nas ouiit us palaces witn money wrung from slaves and widows and orphans. It has robbed countless '.women of their virtue and myriads of men of their manhood. It feeds the "body and starves the aoul Into tha loss of everything eternal. - "Though the soul says,.

His text was, "Lo. the people shall dwell alone, and shall not ba reckoned among tha nation." Bishop Scaddlng first dwelt upon the history of the religion and then closed his sermon with remarks dealing upon observation a - gained from personal study of tha Jews In ail walks of life from tha - crowded tenement districts on tha east side of New Tork to the wealthy merchant.- He) said la part: "We Christiana aa-ree that tha law has been neither silenced, abrogated nor subverted by tha coming of tha Son or boa. its real character la vindi cated. It haa passed Into ths gospel. The Messlaxilo promise of a righteous king and aa eternal kingdom has al ways come forward to au stain the drooping spirit of the Jew. Here is the point of departure between the Jew and the Christian. Tha Jew still looks Tor the fulfillment of the eromiae. The Christian believes tha promise haa been already ruiruied. "There are xour nerioda or Judaism which stand nromlnently forth. The Bible makes us familiar with tha first period under Moses, the law-giver. The second period is that of the middle ages. it is ldentinea witn ins name or jaoses, the son of Maimon. who waa born to Cordova in 1116. He la called moses Malmonldes. "Again In 1750 the whole aspect of Jewish life waa changed, especially among German Jews, and this wss wrought by a Moses, Moses Mendels sohn, by tha introduction of all that Is Known as culture- Menaeissonn was the great Jewish pnllosoDher. He trans lated the Pentateuch Into - German. Jewish literature and learning took on a new life. Ia lt2t another Moses arose. He was Moses Monttflore. who became tha advocate for the oppressed Jews of all countries. He Was the grestest philanthropist of his race.Pos sessed'Of boundless wealth, he used it in charities of all kinds. Today where will you flnj so much generosity and liberality for charitable causes ss among the J4wsT "For three yeara I lived in the heart of the most crowded Polish Jew district in the world, on tha oast side of lower New Tork. I saw that Jewish life come up llko a great- tidal wave around our St. Gorge's chapel. When I remember Jesua was a Jew. St. Peter and St Paul were Jews, my heart' la aglow for the race, Jet us try to oe witnout preju dice. (There are Jewa and Jews, and It is i-nfalr, yea. It Is wicked to Judge the race by a class with whom we may possibly be most familiar. Just as un fair as It would be for a Jew who keeps the Sabbath to Judge Christianity by those Christians who make no true ob servance of Sunday. "If we desire the well-being of the world. If we desirv the glory of the Lord, we must earnestly pray and dili gently labor to promote the hlerhest Sood of his ancient people. Pray for ie peace of Jerusalem." , BAmFifToit TWO FACTIONS St. Johns in Midst of Settling Differences Today at Polls. An election la In progress today at St Johns that means much to tha prop-erty-qwnera and taxpayers of that ctty. Two tickets ara in the field and tha Is sues' ara- sharply outlined. Ths Good Government league, headed by . H. W. Brice for mayor, a respected citlien of St Johns, atanda for a closed town and economy In .running the government, even to tha reduction of salaries.' The People's and Taxpayers' ticket, headed by F. J. Hendricks, atanda on a platform somewhat similar to tha Good Govern ment league, but with tha "closed town" plank eliminated. One of tha most Interesting fights for office ia that for city attorney, around which It Is expected tha real strength of tha two factions will be centered. H. E. Collier la .tha candidate for city at torney on the ticket put forward by the Good Government league and la one of the leaders in that organization. T. T. Parker ia an independent candi date for city attorney, making a three cornered fight out of it There Is also a three-cornered battle for city treas urer, the candidates being W. L. Church Ill, on the Good Government . league's ticket and J. E. Tanch and C. S. Thomp son, both having been Indorsed and both being on tha ticket of the Taxpayers and People's factions. Tha latter two factions held separate conventions, but nominated tha same officers practically. except in this one Instance. J. E. Tanoh ia properly , tha only Taxpayers' candi date, while C S. Thompson is tha Peo ple s canawate. ? j. ju. isncn w known, being the school clerk for the St Johns district v- -Not tha least interesting part of to day's contest will bo the attempt to an nex a large territory to St. Johns.
