The rights and in- terests of the laboring man will be protected and cared for, not by the labor agitators, but by the Christian men to whom God in His infinite wis- com has given the control of the pro- perty interests of the country. Pray earnestly that the right may triumph, always - remembering that the Lord God omnipotent still reigns, and that His reign one of law and oraer, and not of violence and crime." 1s FEARING FROST.
