EVENING, OCTOBER IS.

LABoR.-Rev. ]. B. Jeter has written
an article for the Seminary Magazine
which contains many facts that are worth re-
Numbering by,those who look down on labor;
for there are such persons, who, as general
thing. are very narrow minded and nine cases
in fen are pensioners ION the bounty OF others
for snnnort. Let them read, ponder and re-
f'act saps DR.: Jeter that "a life of idleness is
not only worthless, but contemplate. Neither
wealth nor rank can eface this blot from human
character. An idler is an eXcrescence on the
bodv nolitic, increasing its weight, but dimin-
isbing its strength and beauty. An industrious
shoe.boy is more meritorieus than an indolent
nripce. Why should not honest and useful la
Dor, of every kind, be deemed respectable !?
The Creator has ordained that man shall labor.
When he came from his plastic hand, in a state
Of perfection and loneliness, he was placed
amidst the bloom and fruits of paradise, to
dress and to keep it. When driven, on account
of transgressions, from the bowers OF Eden, he
was doomed, as much In mercy as IN judgment,
in the sweat of his face to eat bread. The Au-
for laboring-our bodies are formed for exer-
ton and the endurance of fatigue, and our
hands are admirably constructed as instruments
of art. We are surrounded with means OF use
full toll. In obedience to we'll directed effort
the earth will yield her bountiful increase to
reward the husbandman. And all the riches
Of the mineral, vegetable, and animal king
doms may, by skillful industry, be made tribu-
tary to the happiness and dignity of man. God
has imposed on man the necessity of labor. If
he rebel against this ordinance, want, the most
inexorable of masters, will teach him subordi..
nation, and summon hunger, nakedness, and
pain, to enforce his instruction. TO esteem
labor$lightly, then, is to reproach the ordinance
of God: Has God made that essential to man
which, is derogatory to man? 1t cannot be-
lie who ordained. that man should labor, saw
that labor was worthy of him.
