 ''The Eight-Hour Day" was the sub ject of an interesting sermon by Rev. pr. Sheath at the Grand Avenue Con- gregational church last evening. Dr.. Sheath said:
 Some years ago I was taught to di- vide my time-eight hours for the ser vice of God and man, eight for my usu- al avocation and eight for rcfreshment and sleep. l believe in the eight-hour day, but I believe ill it for all men. There are many men and women in every sphere of life who do not enjoy it, and l am one of them. fear also there are men, who to-day are Justify crying for an eight-hour day, who nev- CT think of their wives working twelve, and seven days in a week. Neverthe- less, we believe in the movement.
 Tt is for the welfare of the individ- ual worker, the nation and the whole economic system. It will tend to great CT happiness, better manners, a higher type of manhood and a nobler citizen ship. It is economically possible and economically advisable.
 TWO principles lie at the foundation of the movement. First, the most im- pOrtant factor in our modern industrial life is not the machine nor the sum of money, but the man. Any business is inseparably joined with the men who are in it. Ignorance, selflshness, dis contentment, overwork, will injure rather than help the business. What ever is against manhood will be against the prosperity of business. The man must receive first consideration.
 Secondly, to produce good laboring men they must have leisure time. Nor al and mental manhood demands time for it's cultivation. A man who goes to work at dark and returns home at dark, weary and ambitionless, will not be a good citizen. a good Christian, and, therefore cannot be the best workman. Give men leisure time for pleasure, mind and heart training, and conditions will be better for the kingdom of God.
 ''The cheerful, growing mind will also carry a spontaneous vigor into labor, producing more and better work with less necessity for superintendent and goading. Men need leisure time to keep themselves men and to make their lives fuller, happier and better. Objections 5yt,, af cannot overthrow the validity of these two principles and the need of their realization in the modern industrial world
 '"The great need of the hour is love. Men must love each other in business, i. e., be mutually interested in one an- other. The spirit of Christ must dom mate. John Mitchell says, Its got to come.' Yes, but never, fully or satis- come not to be ministered unto, but to minister " 7'
