ROBBING THE PEOPLE.

‘ THE TEN COMM.-iNDAI.\7'I‘S. “The strong are using their oppor—tunity to exploit the weak. They are using their power-——woi-ldly wealthto c:\'ploit the masses‘, and they hold not the people, but governments», in their hand. The few rich are robbing the people.’-’ 3 This assertion was made by Archbishop O’Shea_, of Wellington, at the _St. Bede’s College, Papanui, Christlchurch. There were two ways to re inedy this state of al't'airs_. said His jGrace. One was by a Red revolution §—in which some of the guilty and §many of the innocent would lose heir lives—the other was by bringing -the Ten Commandment; into the lives of the people Christian principles no glonger had any practical effect upon ;‘the oligarchies which ruled us today. iß‘or all sane people and all who loved ‘justice their was only one way to ‘mend matters, and that ‘was to bring {back Christianity into the world. We imust not do evil that good might come of il—~—the end «lid not justify ‘the means. A Cliinese correspomlen-t Of‘ an American journal had summed lllp our religion when he said that as In nation we did not practice it. Would |it not be better for us to found our ‘peace on the Ten Commandments |than upon the Fourteen Points?
