LANGUAGE BARRIERS BREAKING DOWN

The diversity of languages is one of the most remarkable things in the world an effectual barrier to prevent mankind from combining for the accomplishment of their own purposes, selfish or sinful. It Inis delayed the great Day of Wrath. Now the language barriers arc breaking down, and we find tin* tendency of humanity to re unite. Unions and Trusts are being built by the Rich and Poor—each for self protection.
