labor is far from perfect, fact that

declares that as a rule employers are

Living by Daily Work.

That which we earn, or which we work
for, is worth more to us than that which
is given to us without any effort on our
part. This is in accordance with Gods
best dealings with His children, and all OF
mans experience tends to confirm this
truth. Even in Eden. before mans fall
maj was set to dress the garden and keep
it. He had to work for his living while yet
at his best, and while God was caring for
him as His favorite child When later, in
the wilderness. the children Of Israel were
being led by God. and fed by bread from
heaven day by day. they had, each and
all, to earn enough for living by picking
up their needful food. When the rich
Boaz was won to an interest in attractive
Ruth, the Moabitish young widow. he did
not say to the laborers in his lordly fields
Give her all the grain she needs or
wants" but he eaid "Let her CLEAN. even
among the sheaves." That was the better
way for Ruth. Having what she cleaned
was better than would have been having
what was given her in charity. 1t was the
same in the new dispensation as in the
old. The word of the apostle was. as to
the early Christians: "If any man will not
work. neither let him eat" Our highest
privilege is of working for our living, not
of living without work. Let us be CRATE.

why Few Are Called.

"Of the various reason-often contra
dictory-assigned for the disinclnation of
young men to enter the ministry, none, it
seems to us" says the New York Examin-
er (Bapt), touches the real source of the
difficulty, which may be summed up in a
single 'entence-they do not want to en-
ter it. All the various objections to the
ministerial career that have been enumer
ated would count for nothing if young
man were possessed by consuming zeal
for that form of Christian service The
fact that the ranks of medicine and the
law are overcrowded does not deter young
men from entering them; nor does the
other fact that the majority of the hedg.
ling doctors and lawyers find the struggle
for existence-to say nothing of success
and competency long and bitter one;
act as barrier to aspiring youth. A gen.
timely consecrated heart would not shrink
from whatever hardships the pursuit of SO
high and sacred a vocation as the Gospel
ministry might entail. if the possessor OF
it were persuaded in his inmost being that
it was his vocation. veritable call from
God to his soul. Magnify these hardships
as you willard we are not disposed to
minimize them. or some of them, at least
they would still be, yea. they are to many

GODS MESSAGE TO MAN
PREGNANT. THOUGHTS FROM THE

Poem: Dawn--soon the Truth Will Iilu-
milne All Our II Hearts-Prayt to Be Spared
From Living without work-A Source
OF Gratitude.
The heralds of The summer dawn
Are Joyous in the dewy fields;
The morning wind brings up the hill
The fragrance that the meadow yields
A mingled scent, elusive, sweet,
OF new-mown grass and clover white,
And locust blossoms by the brook
That glimmers in the early light.
Now all The east in splendor shines,
The world awakes to greet the day..
The quail is whistling mo more wet"
The river mists are rolled away;
For now the sun is on the hills,
The shadows stretch across the mead
The Joy of morning freshly fills
Each spreading tree, each wayside weed
Not so has dawned the light of truth
Upon the darkened world of thought;
But slowly to our waiting eyes
Has grown the CLEAN our souls have
sought.
So. slowly growing through the years,
The blessed truth that makes men
freel"
The clouds of superstition still
Obscure the light that all should sec.
Yet surely as the dawn unbars
The gateway of the eastern sky
To food the fields with radiance,
And all the land to glorify,
So surely shall the light of truth
UOon its heaven-appointed way
lllumine all our hearts at last,
And shine unto the perfect day.

eve believe. without undue optimism, I"
says the New York Observer pres "that
the spiritual progress of the church DUR
ing the past year has been very encourag-
ing-the more so because there is an i'm
preston among men that skepticism is on
the increase, and that the world at large
has settled down to a quiet, easy-going
condition in respect to credal and doctrinal
belief. But the general outlook in Chris
tendon does not bear out this impression.
The Onward, Christian Soldiers of the
churchly song breathes the true militant
and progressive spirit-the ark of God is
safe in the land of the true Israel If
nothing else were counted as verifying this
comforting outlook we might say: Behold
the missions! See the sacrifices made even
by delicate women in helping to spread
the gospel of Christ in the far corners of
the earth. In the teeth of persecution,
amid every Encouragement. in spite of the
indifference or hostility of the age itself,

THE GREAT DESTROYER
SOME STARTLING FACTS ABOUT
TIE VICE OF lNTeMPERANcE.
TippIiug Women In All Classes-Bishop
Coleman Says Conditions in England
Are Even Worse Than Here-There Is
n Better Showing Among the Men.

Better Showing Among the Men.
The Right Rev. Leighton Coleman, Epis-
copal Bishop of Delaware, who startled
his hearers in q mission address at New
Brunswick by the statement that there is
an alarming increase of intemperance
among women along with decrease of
intemperance among men, repeated the
statement to reporter Of the New York
World. He said that his opinion had been
formed only after exhaustive investigation
and observation of conditions in this coun.
try and abroad.
Bishop Coleman said that a newspaper
hostile to his views set on foot an inquiry
in New York with a view of dsproving
his charge. Committees of impartial citi-
zens went to the various fashionable ho-
tells and women's restaurants, taking notes
of the orders of women patrons. They
found that TO take wines, cordials, even
whisky with ones meals was an almost in-
variable rule among the wealthy and fash.
ionable set. Not only this, but in so.
called tea rooms intoxcants were served
to women who ordered them without even
the pretense of ordering a meal.
"Intemperance among women, however,,
said the Bishop, 'is not confined to the
women of the wealthy and fashionable
class. The use of stimulants, medicines,
bracers, tonics and all similar devices
serving as a mask for the liquor habit is
becoming more general among the middle
classes. In England conditions are worse
even than here, for the 'grocers' license
advanced by Mr.. Gladstone as a temper.
anee measure has had vastly different re-
suit
"Mr. Gladstone hoped that intemper-
ance would be decreased by making il pos;
sible for the middle class to secure the
liquor in small quantities from their gro
GERS instead Of compelling them to go to
public-houses, where the temptation to
drink in excess would be much greater.
Instead of this, however, the grocers IL
cense enables women to indulge the drink
habit secretly. Whisky and gin are bought
at the groceries and are charged to the
husbands accounts as tea or cheese. The
evil is as prevalent among the aristocratic
as among the middle classes" As to the
decrease in drunkenness among men Bishop
Coleman said: mot so many years ago
there was tendency on the part of many
people to laugh at a drunken man; to see
something funny, or absurd, or ludicrous
in drunkenness, but nothing sinful OF
wicked. Now, however, that men are
coming to consider drunkenness as some.
thing to be ashamed of, there is increas
ing vigor to the resistance against all sorts
of temptations to excess"
Bishop Coleman said that much of this
reform is due to the positive attitude
taken by all denominations of the Chris
tian church, especially the Episcopalians.
