OUR DAILY woRA
Woe to Him Who Does Not Find
 Healthful Joy in Hard Labor.

Hea1thful Joy in Hard Labor. From "The Cant About Hard Work " in
 the October Century.
 No one who comes in contact with af- fairs can fail to notice, however, as sort of corollary to the excavation which comes to men of wealth through luxury an increasing laxity of view among work ingmen concerning labor, a tendency to regard the daily task as something greatly to be regretted and hastily to be escaped from. In some minds an air of senti- mentalism pervades the whole labor prob lem, as though the millennium only wait ed upon large wages and short hours. The oid-time love for ones work and the old-time pride in it as one's best reason for existence have yet to find any wide spread and active propaganda in the con ventions of labor. So far as we have ob- served, no labor leader has taken upon himself the conservative office of preach ing to his followers the virtue of good work we'll done, not only as duty to the employer but as a service and inspiration fo the worlingman himself. The theories even of those who lead most wisely aim at the elevation of the individual through the class rather than the reverse. The general trend of the workingman seems to he away from hard work and good work. If is time that there was less preaching of rights and more of duties. Perhaps fl would be easier to get the rights by lit- tle more conscientious devotion to the duties.
 As a matter of fact. and not of theory, no man can do worse service to another whether rich or poor, than to deprive him of the absolutely healthful joy which there is in hard work. Woe to him who does not like his daily work; for If one cannot have the work he likes, he would better learn e hrs tk~ work he has.

Review.

Review.
 On the background of the narrative four exceedingly interesting figures ap- pear in clearcut outline. Each is unlike the others. All stand for distinct but dif- ferent ideas. Each helps to an under standing of the other. Altogether, aside from religion. this ancient literature make exceedingly interesting reading. The quickly shifting scenes give vivid views of live three thousand years ago. But as the fundamental principles of human life are the same everywhere and always, we have here striking illustrations of the rise. progress, and end of right and wrong ideals of life.
 Samuel Is a towering personality in Hebrew history. A great man and pa- triot. His whole career lifts him above suspicion of self-seelxing. He has the in- cidental attractiveness of one in whose person one line closes and another be- gins He was last of judges. first of pro- phets. It was under Samuel that the form of government changed. The theoc- racy became a monarchy. That most unique form of government in the history of the world had maintained for four hundred years. God was King. The tab ernacle was his palace. The wings of the cherubim were his throne. But the peo- pie wanted a change. They had perhaps been ridiculed by their neighbors as headless nation. They coveted also the pomp and circumstances of royalty. Then. too they were restive under the rule of the theoeracy which held them to the highest ideals of personal and civic right eousness. The cry was raised. "A king like other nationsi' The outcome of sam uers wise and patriotic service was a monarchy like, yet unlike, that Of sur
 srV4f fa from the fervent heat of this bloodless revolution was thsoretic monarchy. God ruling yet, but through kings of his own selection and limited by terms which he had prescribed. Samuel effected this con- stitutionai change with the master hand of a statesman. and for this cause would deserve a place in the gallery of immortal patriots.
 Saul is one of the wierdest characters of history. He had an heroic physique gigantic stature, ruddy countenance, pierc- ing eye, and at start an ingenious spir1t' He quickly developed capacity for king ship. He could keep his own counsel. He knew how to ignore the discourtesy of a recaIcitrant minority. He went back to a bucolic life. biding his time and the opportunity to show his generalship and yalor and use his office for the deliver ance of the people. The cause and growth of his madness makes study in psy- chology Browning describes Saul in word, as gigantic and blackest of all. The final rejection of Saul was not an arr bitrary piece of caprice on the part Of Providence. It was just as necessary as the expulsion from the orchestra of the musician who win not observe the direc- tors baton. Saul indignantly persisted in shrinking false notes and spelling the harmony of a Divine symphony. He was repeatedly admonished and given new op- portunities, but he was bent on striking such notes as he pleased, The bloody de- nouement came at length in the irretriev- able defeat at Mount GIlboa, when the

RICH HUMAN LEGACY.
Fourteen Hundred Descendants of
 Jonathan Edwards.

At this time when the question of race suicide is being so strenuously agitated 1t is interesting to point to the signif- canoe of striking article by Edith A. Winship in the Worlds Work for Oc- tober It is entitled "The Human Legacy of Jonathan Edwards" and presents the somewhat startling fact that there are over 1,400 descendants of this noted preacher. theologian and mighty histori- cal figure of stirring days. Through six Renrations his intellectual and moral force has projected itself. Public officials. col lege presidents and professors. judges. lawyers, preachers ministers. diplomats, writers and business men are included in the list of descendants. The famous Dwight family of Yale is in direct line from Edwards's daughter. Mary. Timo- thy Dwight was president of Yale from 17s4 to 1877. Theodore Dwight Woolsey held that office from 1s4e to 1871 and Tim othy Dwight from 1886 to 1897. From the Edwards family have come twenty-five officers of the army and navy. Eighty descendants have held high public of- flee ranging from Governor to maor. and several hay eflIled important foreign posts as ambassadors. Miss Winship traces this remarkable family story through many interesting details.

Colonel Pratt, the United States Army officer who is in charge of the Carlisle Indian school. admits that many of its graduates who return to tribal life fall into Indian ways again. Therefore he Is doing all he can to prevent the educated Indians from going back to the reserva- tion.
 He tells of an incident he saw at a Western Indian agency. A sduaw en- tered traders store. wrapped in a blan- ket. pointed at straw hat and asked. How muchee?'
 Fifty cents." said the merchant.
 How mucheeY' she asked again, point ing to another article. The price was quoted, and was followed by another query of How mucheeT
 Then she suddenly gazed blanlkly at the merchant and asked mildly:
 Do you not regard such prices as ex- tortionate for articles of such palpably and unmistakable inferior quality: Do you not really believe that reduction in your charges would materially enhance your pecuniary profits. as well as be ethically proper? I beg you to consider my suggestion"

spectral words uttered in the cave at En- dor had their fulfllment. History. pro- fane nor sacred, contains more awful instance of conscious, inveterate asser- tion of human selfhood against de- ciared purpose of the Almighty. Thus. as ever, the hammer broke. the anvil re- mained
 David is one of the widest characters of history. He stretches over a whole oc- tave of possible human experiences This constitutes his periennial fascination. It is as if all the hopes and fears. defeats and triumphs of all human lives. were poured into this one life. That makes him an all-men's mate and fellow. The biography of this myriad-sided man is accompanied by the immortal Psalms. He learned in suffering what he taught in song. David was certainly Gods man for that hour of Hebrew history. The kingly office was matched by a kingly character. The manifold and imperative exacti0ns of a position, which has no precise parai- Tel in history, were met by a versatile character. developed and inured to meet those exactions. David could both com pose battle hymns for his army and In person lead to battle. He could both make law and administer it. He could maintain the delicate equilibrium between the recluse and the man of affairs With q master nano ne changed the Wnoie Iaco of Hebrew history. Like a series of startling pictures the Incidents of David's career follow each other In the sacred narrative; the shepherd boys encounter with the giant; the jealous and murder ous attempt of the mad king upon the life of his arnor-bearer; the immortal friendship; the sparing of a murderous foe. .t
 Jonathan is the mildest character in this immortal quartet He is the syno- nym of friendship. He discovered, ap- preciated. and loved David. That is his chief. claim to distinction. David's noble spirit bloomed like fair lily on the reek- ing dunghill of Sauls sordid court and camp. Jonathan was struck with consum- ing admiration. He had found his fellow. His own dauntless and devout heart was mated. The ideal friendship which then sprang up was rooted in common theoc- ratic faith. Both believed in Jehovah and the immanence of his government in Is- rael. The mutuaiity of. the.r faith ac- counts, not only for the origin of their friendship. but for it's phenomenal strength and perpetuity.
