RTeat 1s..,..sn nd Eliezer was the serv- mt of Abraham and Samuel of Eli. The1e men knew that they, in their humble sphere, were working for the advancement of the world as truly as were their masters in their more con- spicuous sphere.
 The second class of servants was composed of the sullen slaves captured in war. They were, for the most part, disgruntled and rebellious servitors. They felt that the tyranny of fate had placed the captives' manacles upon their wrists, and as soon as possible they would flee when chance for es- cape offered. So there are women to- day serving in the kitchen and In the nursery who act as If they believe that , they are captured slaves. They are grumbling against their work and meager pay. They are spending one half of their time in finding. fault with their mistresses and the other half in trying to find out a way of es- cape into some other occupation where they can have more liberty and in- creased emolEments, As we would
 
 crated domestic, so we would denounce the evil behavior of the wicked and siothful servant We would try to show that the servant girl who buries her one talent in a napkin and refuses to do her legitimate work is just as reprehensible in Gods sight as the king or queen who deliberately squan- ders life's capital of ten talents Di- vine rewards and punishments are not dependent upon the amount of returns accomplished by Gods children, but upon the faithfulness and consecra- tion with which we perform the tasks he has given us to do.
 ConcernAAE the Word "Royal."
 The word "royalp Is not restricted to station. 1t is legitimately applied to any woman whose conduct in her own sphere Is noble and faithful-conduct which is becoming or fitting to a jQueen." Nor is the financial compen- lsation for her service inadequate. Her remuneration Is as large as any other wage earner in proportion to the phys ical labor and mental training which are required of her. Prove it2 I will. Compare today the net financial re turns of the average servant and those of the unskilled worker in any other departments of life. In our large cities the nurse girl receives at least $3.50 to $A and $5 per week the good cook from $4 to ST, even to $10, per week, the waitreps 4. peR week. the cham bermaid 4 per week. That means that onh srS11Hfss,F fh., ho,,ooHsx,Id ,, ceivea usually. wages running any where from SIT to $25 per month 4hat Is more than many of the well dressed hoorwalkers in the large city etokes get. That Is more than the aynrxge typewriter receives, for she has n day rent and board, which the dome S ervant gets free. That Is as muoE A farm hand or private sol dier fn5he United States army receives "Oh, no,' some one answers, that Is not true. A hoorwalker will get SIP per week. There is many typewriter receiving $f0sper week, or about $40 per month." But, my brother, when you estimate the salary of. the down town clerks you must at the same time estimate their expenses. As I remark cd. the servant girl receives greater net return, not gross, than any other class of labor requiring equal mental and physical equipment.
 merchant neve- considers the gross returns of his business, but the net. He says to himself: These goods were sold for so much. Now I must find out my expenses-so much for store rent, % much for night watchman, so much for expressage, 60 much for commercial travalsrs. a mpch for adyertisinR. 70
