in its sunshine, revel in it's pleasures, thrill
with its excitements and be glad in its sem

Bible says we must take Him first in order
to discover the true secret of life.
'At every point in life we find the neces-
sity for God All life is but a great and
manifold desire. The thing that reveals
the presence of life is the power that reach
es out and takes possession of the things
around it. God has placed every individual
soul in the world so that it may take all
the things of life and add them unto itself.

other is the measure, the variety and the
quality of his desires. The difference be-
tween the savage and the civilized man is
the difference between what each wants

DE-. Newman Talks of Rabbi Ben Ezra.

Browning's poem. Rabbi Ben Ezra" was
the subject of Rev. DR.. Newman's sermon
at the First Congregational Church last
evening. He explained what he considered
to be the poets meaning and made the pro-
duction lucid and helpful to his hearers.
Browning would not say this virtue or
that was attained in spite of the flesh" he
said. 1.-THE poet loved this life, and be-
lieved that soul helped not flesh more than
flesh helped soul. Nor would he assume
anxious responsibility for his acts. for the
consciousness of having done his best made
success or failure one. Gods approval
seemed so sure, even death had no terrors
for him. OF his old age he said:
81 need. and then,
Thee, God. who modest men.
This confident attitude of Gods infinite
love. which the worlds coarse thumb and
finger failed to plumb never deserted him,
and when death approached Browning
said: Don't prate to me Of death; know 1t
will be life; l shall see my loved ones
Such a faith of confident growth. OF
changes, was true life. not that Endymion-
like life which was only a perpetual Sleep
but the happy, wholesome, useful one, the
only kind of an earthly life that was really
worthy and worth while"

FEDERATION OF LABOR
Opening Session of Executive Council
Held This Morning.

7,he opening session of the executive
council of the American Federation of
Labor was held this forenoon at headquar-
tiers in Typographical Temple. 423 G street
northwest. With the exception of First
Vice President James Duncan of Quincy,
Mass, all the members of the council were
present, and the president, Mr.. Samuel
Gompers, was in the chair, with Mr.. Frank
Morrison filling the post of secretary
1t was stated that Mr.. Duncan's absence
was due to strikes which are occupying his
attention at home. The first matter taken
up was the jurisdictional troubles between
the brewery workers on one side and the
stationary engineers and firemens organ
izatons on the other.
Mr.. Timothy Healy of New York city,
president of the International Brotherhood
of Stationary Ffremen: Mr. John E. Brun-
ner of Cincinnati Ohio. president, and Mr..
r. A. Mckee of Peoria, ILL.,, secretary of
the International Stationary Engineers,
were given a hearing and made representa-
lions to the effect that their trade rights
were being violated by the brewery work
ers.
This jurisdictional fight has been of long
standing, and grew out of the action of
the brewery workers in claiming jurisdiction
over the stationary engineers and hremen
employed in breweries. Messrs. Healy, Brun-
ner and Mckee contend. on the other hand,
that engineers and firemen, wherever they
may be employed, owe allegiance to the en-
gineers' and firemens unions and not to
those composed of brewery workers proper.
No conclusion had been arrived at by the
council when an adjournment was taken
for lunch. Another session Is being held
this afternoon.
