t. Our correspondent, like most superficial
thinkers en- this subject jumps at Ultimate results
too hastily. The idea Of Industrial ASSOCIATION
must first be realized by men who embrace 1t not
for their own sakes, but for those OF The Human
Race, and who are right willing to sacrifice and
suffer in lis behali. Those who adopt II from
lower motive than this will certainly be disap-
pointed and will do injury, rot service, to the
cause. There must be mistakes, miscacu!aiions,
perils from false b.cthren,' and failures, to be
encountered and overcome before the decided
triumph OF Association is realized. The sun
shine advocates of this Reform will be driven of
dozen times before it is accomplished.
Now this fivc.hour-a. day fancy comes in after
The great result has keen attained. We must
first settle ,ha, Association i'll Learning. IN In
dustrv and in L,ving, is practicable at all. To
effect this is work for men (and women too
who arc willing TO work all hours, and have
rough fare at that. Ultimately, when every arm
is rendered effective in the highest degree, (which
cannot be for some years five hours day will
be labor enough for those who are content to
live and learn. But It is waste 20 talk OF this
until the first step in advance has been decidedly
taken. We must first rescue Life from nccssant
devotion TO sordld anx;ct;es and mean cares; a(-
