tins Ferry Yesterday.
Yesterday morning the pastors OF the
various churches of the city were re-
ouested to deliver a sermon TO the la
boringmen. and in compliance with the
ra0uest Rev. S. j. Boyle, of the Pres
bvterian Church. delivered an excel
lent discourse on the subject, taking
for his text the 18th and 18th verses
Of the third chapter OF PauIs second
letter to the Thessalonians: "tor we
hear that there are some which walk
among you disorderly, working not at
all but are busybOdies. Now them
that are such be commanded and eX-
borted ny our Lord Jesus Christ. that
with ouietness they work, and eat their
own bread.
Re .onened his remarks on the sub
iect by q few words on man in the Car
don Of Eden and his labOrs. after when
he explained that man. owing TO MS
makeup. was in need of physical eX-
ercise. and since his fall discovered
that in order 10 supply the wants or lie
II was necessary that he should labor.
Man in his primitive state of civili-
cation. as found in the Dark Continent,
does not reoure much labor TO supply
his wants. because they are so few.
That is man in his lowest state and
does not meet Your admiration.
Coming from the lowest point up to
the scale Of civilization until YOU reach
the highest. you viii find your toilers-
toilare not only in physical power, but
mentally. Fifty years ago our wants
were simple and did not require as
much labor as they DO now. The older

+bo nhvsicaal labor is required TO DO
more. toilers Of all kinds find it neces-
sarv to do more labor. The man VINO

life in the sight Of God He IS busy
rodv doing himself no good nor those
among whom he lives.
A toiler is one that works with his
hands. exerting his physical strength
in doing what is set before him. An
other is one who works with his brain.
Although one uses mental and the other
physical power, it is all labor and toll,
one dependent on the other. Depend
ence carries with it mutual rights, each
one performing his or her part OF the
work which is taken up where It is LETT
of by another.
Labor. properly performed. is honor
able in every respect. \ man who Ia
bors should noJ be ashamed Of it, for 1t

man who works not is disorderly. In
view of this it is necessary to know
toat we were brought into the world TO
work. one dependent on The other.
