 Let me go step farther and ap- peal for a clearer recognition of the dignity of labor. The odium which | rests upon the work of the hand has | exerted baneful influence the world | around. The theory that idleness is | more honorable than toil--that it is more respectable to consume what others have produced than to be 1 producer of wealth-has not only rob 1 bed society of an enormous sum but | it has created an almost impossible | gulf between the leisure classes and tbose who support them. Toistoy is | right in asserting that most of the perplexing problems of society grow out of the lack of sympathy between
 man and man. Because some imagine | themselves above work while others | see before them nothing but a life
 of drudgery there is constant warning and much bitterness. When men and | women become ashamed of doing noth- ! ing and strive to give to society full
 compensation for all they receive from society there will be harmony be- tween the classes.

No ser vice which we can render to the less favored nations can compare in value to this service, for if we can but bring their people to accept such an ideal they will rival the Occident in their contribution to civilization. If this ideal-which must be accepted as the true one if our religion is true-had been more perfectly illus trsted in the lives of Christians and in the conduct Of Christian nations
