It is not the calendar and the birthday book that de- termine your age. It is the soul within, and the eyes you look out with, and the mind that thinks and the heart that feels. It is health that makes young blood ; not mere health of body but health of temper, health of affection. J. G. Greenough. How shailasaving spiritual light be brought to the world' masses who are struggling today under such heavy burdens? This mission cannot be accomplished by force-never. Neith-i Neith-i er can it be accomplished by the preaching of men and woman who are like the selfrightioue and selfish brother of the famous Prodigal Son. It will only be accomplished by the exhortation, exhorta-tion, comradeship and example of men and women who themselves them-selves have found the spiritual light through sorrow and suffering, suf-fering, poverty and affliction; men and women vhose hearts have been softened toward their fellows, who have been tried and broken sufficiently in tribulation to be one with their unfortunate un-fortunate brothers. For 2550 years the gold standard has enslaved humanity, caused all manner of suffering and caused rivers of blood to flow in the wars it has made. It has filled the world with j woe and poverty and has always ministered to the well-being : of the few at the expense of the many. All the present ills of the world are atributable to it. It began to die in 1929, but the death rattle will last yet a few years to send tens of millions to their graves and to keep the world filled with fear and want and destitution. No, the country has not apostatized from democracy nor has there been any determinedi effort to destroy the constitution. constitu-tion. The effort has been to make democracy work in the in-I in-I terest of all the people instead of the few. Like the bible ' which was once chained in the churches, the constitution has been brought out and interpreted for the welfare and interest .of the common people. As long as it was practically a closed book and kept under glass, as it were, and the racketeers of big business were running riot, exploiting the people and undermining un-dermining America it was allright. Just one illustration out of many wil! suffice to show how America was sold short and j he people robbed by those who howled for the constitution j Andrew Mellon established a world monopoly in Aluminum and kept the product scarce and the price high. He permit ted Germany special privileges to manufacture all she needed but prevented America from doing so. With his robber prices he made millions. And now, because of his actions this count-I count-I ry is short and greatly handicapped. Mr. Mellon is one of thousands who have acted as racketeers against their government. govern-ment. But oh how patriotic and saintly they were when standing for the constitution. King Nebuchadnezzar was the originator of the gold standard. Prior to his reign the Almighty, in his laws to Israel, Is-rael, had placed gold at the bottom, or as the least of the things that make wealth. The king of Babylon raised it to first place. He erected an image of pure gold and then called ; together all the princes, go"ernors, rulers, captains of industry, judges, treasurers, counselors, sheriffs, etc., to the world's first economic conference with the result that there was then established or set up the emblem of gold as the standard of cci .mecramitalvity. In the conference there were three dissenting dis-senting voices, the three young Hebrews, who knew the Israel Isra-el standard so thorougly that they did not want a gold stand- j ard to supercede it. Because they objected king Nebuchad I nezzar had them cast into a fiery furnace. And thus was j established precedent for punishing in various ways all those who oppose the gold standard. That was the birth; we of today are witnessing the death and burial of gold as a stand-j stand-j : ard or medium of exchange. New reason why people still believe in "Vampires'. Arsenic Ar-senic eating, which preserves corpses in life-like semblance, found to be the basis of stories of the "Undead"', who sleep all day in their graves and steal out at night for their satanic meals.
