The Hard Life.

The sinners life is hard life in its
penalties. he who sows sin sows q
seed which will spring up and bear fruIt
after it's kind. The sowing men call pleas.
ure, but the harvest all agree is enfermg.
It is hard life to suffer for old sims, and;
harder still to see others suffer. For NO:
man can sow evil and be sure that none.
of it will ripen in his neighbor's fields. To
reap the evil harvest is bad enough, but
to see it ripening in the lives OF those
we love is harder yet. Our increasing
knowledge has only emphasized this, GER
tainty Of penalty following trapsgressioI. !.
The warnings of the book are continually
illustrated in the experiences of the world
The transgressor's life is hard in it's
deprivations. The question. is sometimes
raised whether the sinner does not, after,
oil, get more out Of the world than the
true disciple. He who has turned from
evil to live with God never raises that
question. He knows that the earth with
out peace of heart, without Joy in right
and sympathy and good, without the hap,
piness Of Gods presence and delight or
service, is hard and narrow and unhappy
place. The true and full inheritance OF
the earth belongs to the children OF God
the highest and the best is to be cheated
of what makes our life worth living.
For back, also, in every transTessors
consciousness lies the hard trial of self
contempt. He may not admit it to-ha
thought. Conscience may be i'll educatedl
and under careful discipline, but in the
moments when he sees clear.y the sinner ID
self.judged. God has let US sit upon the
seat of counsel, and We see what value we
have put upon our souls in barterng with
evil. It is hard to fear to meet ones own
thought sitting as the Judge; to dodge and
shift and evade the quiet hour that brings
self.condemnation. It is hard to be-. amid
whatever passing joys, without God and
without hope in the world that is so full
of hope and 80 bright with the presence
of our heavenly Father.-Congregational-

LABOR AGENCIES ovERTAxED
Unable to supply Large Number OI
Men Wanted for Rail-
road Work.

Omaha labor agencies are threatened with
a serious shortage OF laborers this spring.
Though they have sent out this year be-
tween 5000 and $4,000 laborers, most OF
whom were destined to work on railroads.
the demand continues and the men are not
forthcoming in sufficient numbers to sat
isfy 1t.
Increased railroad construction In Iowa
Nebraska and Wyoming and the building
OF the Moffat line through Colorado and
Utah has been a great strain on the re-
sources of Omaha as a labor center. Three
years ago the railroads tributary to Omaha
began a series of improvements and ex-
tensions that required a large number OF
men and Omaha was looked TO to furnish
them. Laborers from the smaller towns and
the country drifting here were gathered up
and sent out I'm the employ OF the rail-
roads From Chicago and the east railroad
laborers drifted out here, because of the
better wages offered and the chances that
they thought we're better in a new coun-
try This made Omaha a rival OF Mime
apolls and Kansas City in railroad labor
circles.
Conservative estimates OF the number
of men that Omaha could still use this
spring range from 5000 10 10000 but there
Is little likelihood OF their forthcoming
Probably not more than one-half Of the
number will be furnished by the local
agents and so the railroads will have to 90
