SELECT SAYINGS OF MERON REED.
EpiErammaffc Excerpts Of the Great
Denver Preacher.


Short hours for wOrkingmen and
working hours for all men,
The great eleventh commandment:
Thou shalt not snatch another mans
job.
Work that is not hired and that is
public is q mans real monument.
Half toll and half pleasure is q good
mixture.
This living to toll and toiling TO live
is not nearly worth while.
1 find much discomfort because Of
the work that is not worth doing.
The hiring Of the iabOrers Is the first
thing TO be considered.
No man can do good work with pride
and greed IN his heart
There is often no other reward for
doing thing than that which lies IN
the doing.
The good heart helps the slow head.
What one loves TO do he viii soon do
we'll.
One works for bis wages, but that is
not enough; be wants pleasure in his
work. the pleasure OF knowing that his
work helps.
There is possible pleasure in good
work that does not involve getting
ahead OF ones neighbOr.
Work will more aud more tend to
become drudgsry. machines will more
and more supplsnt men; there Is no
solution but shorter hours.
All work that has invention in It Is
pleasing. Mr.. Edison is not asking for
g days work OF eight hours because be
IS inVenting; his mind Is at work IS
we'll as his hands; his work sntertsins
him.
WorkinEmen are the victims Of trade
storms, not natural, but man made.
A country that cannot give q willing
man work must give him bread and
shelter and bed.
A RUod half Of modern labor is spent
in mending some bOteh. Sometimes il
is q sock, sometimes q statute, There
is 8 great tendency in modern work 20
60 70 pieces.
