Show "OUR ENEMIES." Truth regrets that a fow of tho leaders of tho dominant church arc given to using tho expression "our enemies" ns applied to all thoso whe oppose certain doctrines formerly practiced by tho church, nnd certain customs now followed. Dccauso, outside out-side a fow malcontents, tho domlnnnt church has no "onomies." Truo, thero may bo "opponents" of nny system of belief, honest In their opinions, but they are not "enemies" by any means and It is unfair and unjust on tho part of any man, or men, to endeavor to crcato a feeling of bitterness by tho uso of such terms. Tho masses of tho people who do not belong to tho dominant church nnd the masses of tho people belonging to tho dominant church cannot havo causo for hating each other. Outside their religious beliefs, both aro tho same. Thoy wcro born and they will dlo In much tho samo fashion. Thoy camo Into tho world at tho behest of one Power, and will depart on receipt of tho summons from tho same Great Cause. While thoy llvo, they cat and drink in tho samo fashion; thoy havo tho same joys and sorrows. The jest that provokes one to laughter also pro vokes tho other. Tho dcatli of n doar 0110 causes tho tears to How from tho eyes of Gcntilo nnd Mormon nllko. God created nil men nnd women, and Ho excrclsos a fatherly caro ovor each.

In times past Ho has given victory to tho arms of tho Turk, nnd right now Christian Russia Is withering under tho nssnults of Shinto nnd Buddhist In tho great book of His word; the volume thnt Nature lias been working on since tho morning when tho stnrs snug tho grand nnlhcm of creation, we can rend a lesson of profit. With the oxcoptlon of tho vory lowest orders, all nnimntc creatures live togolhor in classes fraternal in tho extreme. Save for tho limes whon tho box Instinct is , strong, tho bucks of tho herd graze ( peacefully together and know no ' strife. Tho florco tlgors of tho jun-3I0 jun-3I0 molest not their own kind, and among many a community of Interest makes llfo moro pleasant for each in- ' dividual. Tho sweet singing birds 1 congrognto In flocks and tho wntcr fowl . abido together in peace and unity. It was Intended by tho Founder of the ' Unlvcrso thnt man should fraternize with man , and ns man had been given lomlnlon over all things, by assocla-tlon assocla-tlon mnke Inferior llfo subservient to ,ho congregation of Intolllgcnco des-tlncd des-tlncd to rule.
