If it had been any part ot God.s
great first intontion that religion ws
to be commercialized, Josus Christ
could have boon a multimillionaire,
for ho had a cornor on the only abso-
lutely puro article; all others (at that
time and since) being spurious imi-
tations But it was not God's first
intention nor is it now. Jesus knew
this; hence, instead of putting war
prices opon his stork, he luvo it awaV
free to ru h ind poor alike The
stock of uneommercialized religion is
by no means exhausted. You can

a substitute? West News.
