Kirk Macontohle at Unjëri Church on Sunday, morning ----- He that witfrokfech corn the people shall curse him; but bles- sing should be on the head of him that selleth it-Proverbs 11/26
Up-to-date people, we are told. consider the Bible a back number. As a fact its up-to-dateness is startling, as the appositeness of this very passage the circum- stances of the moment illustrate. It may be 100 years since Words- worth pensively reflected on the number of poor he S&W when'er he took his walks! Labroad. It is a far cry from then int

It stands up for bis rights, it It vindicates his humanity. denounces his oppressors in terms few would now venture to use. It judges the statesman and the administrator by their consider- ation of the poor 23. It says that the God above us all is attentive to the poor man's cry. It enacts that his wages are to be paid promptly, that he is not to be overtaxed. that his bit of land is not to be alienated nor his person passed into slavery for debt, that bisi means of livelihood are not to be taken in pledge nor his garment retained in pawn overnight. It says he is to have the right to glean and the field is not to be stripped of its last straw before him also that tithes are to be remitted him and the temple offerings brought within his means. It estimates religion not by ceremonial and fast-keeping but by the dealing of bread to the hungry and the opening of doors) to the homeless. In short, the Bible knows the poor man's case and puts a strong protecting arm around him.
