With eight pages of vintage advertisements, contents of this issue include: Editorial by Joseph Fitzgerald (on various subjects, including "Rome's Practical Politics"; "The [John Greenleaf] Whittier Cult"; "The Gospel in Uganda"; "Spiking Tolstoi's Guns" ["A writer in the New York 'Independent' (Evangelical) virtually throws the New Testament overboard as a safe or sufficient guide for those who would lead a truly godly life. To the influence of the New Testament he refers 'the modern gospel of sentiment and gush,' and 'the numberless illusions, delusions, and tolerable or intolerable caprices that have vexed the Church.' The New Testament is ill-balanced and needs as a corrective and protection against its extravagance and its caprices the 'sobriety' of the Old. That is to say, when the New Testament (that is Jesus Christ) teaches such 'other-worldliness' as non-resistance, love of poverty, implicit trust in Providence for the supply of necessaries, etc., such glittering impracticabilities - such as rot and laligag - are to be corrected by substituting in their place the hard common sense of the older books"]; "Cahenslyism"); poem "The Second Coming" by Miles Menander Dawson; "Patriotism" by labor activist and feminist Clara Dixon Davidson; "Individual Liberty" by American Anarchist Lizzie M. Holmes; "'Why We Must Have the Church'" by Clinton Loveridge; "Is Homestead Portentous of a General Class War?" by J. W. Sullivan ("V. - What Has Arbitration Ever Done?"); Correspondence; column Politics and Economics (topic: "A Shriek for Labor Unionists' Blood' by Frank Pixley writing in the San Francisco "Argonaut"); columns In and Out of the Church, The Working of the Yeast, and Our Weekly News-Letter. A complete issue; former owner's name to upper right corner of front cover; covers detached but present; covers light to moderately soiled, particularly along edge areas; a few small edge chips to covers; pages lightly age-toned.
