SABBATH THOUGHTS Gratefll to labor's
tired limbs and weary soul, comes Gods
refreshing, quiet day of rest. No troub-
ling dreams, no filful wakings, no thought
of worldly care intrude to break the peace
full slumber which Heaven grants the poor
man as weekly prelude to the glorious
Sabbath dawn.
For this one day in seven toll is free,
and wealth must cease to lord it over In
diligence. While these brief hours last
the toiler is expressions master, and
grasping avarice stands back, abashed,
in forced submission to law 1t cannot
break.
Owe, whose callous souls can see UNI
moved the thorn of misery driven deep
within the heart of him who. uncomplain-
ing, does your hardest bidding, knowing
he dare not fail We, who would stretch
. your sdownv beds on cords made from the
: bursting heartstrings of your WORKOUT
and expiring fellows: you who know
not how to feel pang for those whose
energies o'ertaxed by mountaineering gold,
have gone to lay their wrongs before that
throne where justice follows Judgment :;
know that Omnipotence has made this
day, to clog the wheels of time to those
who reckon minutes only by the money
made. Know that twas given for him
that does not bow before the shrine that
mammon raises. but worships where
the power who hearts will listen to his
wrongs and wine the widows eye, and
dry the orphans tears, by hurting ven
geance on the oppessor.
