TALKS OF LABOR REWARD
Gilbert M. Hitchcock Addresses sum
day Meeting of the PhiIOsoph-
ical Society.

Congressman elect Gilbert M. Hitchcock
addressed the Omaha Philosophical society
Sunday afternoon on the topic, THE
Laborer is Worthy of His Hire" His dis
cussion was not, as the theme might indi-
cate, confined to the wage question, the
speaker stating that the meaning of this
phrase when originally used was much
broader.
The thought advanced was that any msn
or woman engaged in an occupation should
enjoy the fair fruits Of that labor. "In
this country" said Mr.. Hitchcock, "the
tendency is to make this impossible, be-
cause there has been permitted such an
enormous accumulation OF wealth in the
hands Of a few people. Wealth thus ac-
cumulated in excess OF reason and right is
necessarily taken away from others. II
this was regulated by law, not only would
the laboring classes fare better both as to
hours and wages, but so would the trades
men. the merchants and the clerks as we'll.
The condition. Of al would be eased and
that of zone would be deteriorated."

BEGINS HIS TALKS ON GARRISON.
Rev. Mann Gives First of n Series on
AboIitiOnists.

At Unity church Sunday morning Row.
Newton NJ. Mann gave the FIRST Of his lee
lures on the life Of William Lloyd Garrison,
dealing with the carly half OF the aboli
tionist's career, "A Period Of Storm and
Stress" He said in part:
when Wilberforce was agitatihg against
the slave trade In England, and before he
had secured any legislation to his ends,
Garrison was born in America, in New
b%uryport, Conn. That was in 1905, Unlike
the Englishman, Garrison was not born in
~afluence, but rather in poverty, and al
most restitution. His father was a sailor
Of unsteady habits, who deserted his wife
when William Lloyd was 3 years OF age.
There we're two other children. The fam
lily struggled along and when he was 13
Garrison was apprenticed in a newspaper
office.
This marked the beginning of his career.
1t placed him in Just the fine he was
meant for. He was extremely precocious,
and before he was 20 had passed through
all the stages Of apprentice. compositor,
foreman, to editorial writer. Then he
started a weekly paper of his own and
later moved to Boston, where Ben Lundy.
the first active abolitionist. was the cause
Of turning GarTison's whole life to aboli-
llOus me- WIN Luuuys sldIltu lnb blb
orator.
fBut at this time northern sentiment in
this country was all against abolition.
Abolitionists were dis%unionists, just as
later the Shareholders we're disunionists
after the northern sentiment had changed.
AS late as 1882, when Garrison returned
from his visit to England, he was well
coined on his native shores by the news
papers as "a dangerous fanatic who has
been villifying HIS country abroad"
Garrison soon came to believe that Amer
lean Christianity was the main pillar OF
American slavery. This opinion resulted
from two facts: No church Of white people
could be secured for meetings IN the cause
| Of abolition. The Bible society refused to
sell the American Anti Slavery society
Bibles for the use of the slaves.
'It was in 1884, when Garrison was still
but 20 years of age, that he was mobbed
and thrown into prison. There his friends,
John G. Whittier and A. Bronson Alcott,
visited him, and his spirit was shown by
the manner in which he Tested about his
quarters being too cramped to allow him
to ask them to remain over night"
Behind the prison bars Rev. Mann left
Garrison for the time, and he will continue
with his life from that point next Sunday.

HILL breaches ON OPPORTUNITY.
Tells His Congregation OF the Letter
of Sc. John

'" VI ST. JOhns
The congregation OF the First Christian
church, not large. not wealthy and tenn
porarily housed in a rather barren armory
and dancing hall, with a crude stage for
. choir loft and a plank platform for a
pulpit, listened yesterday morning to a
message Of hope and a plea in exhortation
from Its pastor. Rev, Harry G. Hill. who
found his inspiration in the singularly ap-
propriAte words which st. Johr was d.
rected to write to the church in ancient
Philadelphia: 81 know thy works; behold,
! have set before thee an open door, and
no man can shut It: for thou hast a little
strength, and hast kept my word and hast
not denied my name"
The sermon was one of the series which
Rev. Mr.. Hill is basing on Johns letters
to the seven churches of Asia. and he
said:
perhaps this church at Philadelphia
was small and perhaps this little flock had
to 90 to some sand pit to worship. But
note the message to It, I have set before
thee an open door and no man can shut it.
II seems to me the meaning must have
been that there had been opened for 1t a
great opportunity. And so Il is with us.
We sometimes feel that we are a very
small band to cope with the 23O saloons in
this city and with the thousands who are
indifferent to Christ. Yet herein God has
given us a great opportunity. He made

MAN AND HIS ASPIRATIONS.
Rev. CisseII Finds n Text in the
Psalms,


Rev, Clyde Clay Cissell preached to a
large congregation in the Hanscom Park
Methodist Episcopal church Sunday morn
ing on the subject, Longing for a Nobler
Life" The pastor took his text from
Psalms Lii, Lead me to tho Rock that is
higher than L."
The pastor first sought to show that all
humanity had a longing and a desire for a
better life. He said tina the philosophy
Of the pessimist set forth that man was
eternally happy in a limited life. The less
man has the less he mingles, the more
superb his happiness.
"For this reason" the pastor said, chill
dren are more happy than men, because Of
the limitations of their life and the %restric-
lions. This, though, is contrary to the
Bible, which holds that Christ came to
earth that we might have life, and more
abundance.
Man has aspirations" the pastor
stated, ito be better; to seek for a more
hopeful and contented feeling. When he
ceases to have that longing, that desire, he
is lost"
The lifting power OF the aspirations for q
better living were also touched upon by the
pastor. He said that mans thoughts and
ideals had a reflex action and influence upon
himself, this fact being portrayed in the
face of the miser, upon whose countenance
is written his life's history, and which is
most noticeable TO even a child. He also
referred to the fact that some of the artl-
sans and others who had been called to the
battlefield had developed into the greatest
statesmen, through the desire for better
manhood. He said that man hould develop
this power-making energy that his life may
become what he hopes to have It.
