athletic director All the athletic

Mr. Tobin has made a great record in

Back to the shop, the factory, and the
Thy workers go, Lord, and it may be
That some have sorrows, pressing hea-
Willy,
And some are burdened with foreboding
ill;
And some, unmindful of Thy holy will
Gained not the rest provided yesterday;
And into sin some feet have gone
aStray,
And some hold labor in derision still
Grant, therefore, Lord, that as we buy

Through factory or store or busy street
With thoughtful words these laborers
we may greet
Mindful of grace for sin, of balm for woe;
Helping in kindness sluggard souls to
see
The worth of labor, and the dignity.
