Of any commodity in the last year.

The number Is produced in magazine

work and typographical appearance.
The Labor World takes this oppor-
tunity to congratulate Editor Cupper-
null and his staff upon their masterlv
results. We have not seen a work
equal to theirs in many a day, and
the people Of Virginia ought to con-
graduate themselves that they have IN
their midst such progressive and en-

number will do much to promote the
business welfare Of Virginia.

| Yesterday an esteemed mother In
Israel" propounded to US a query, con-
cealed in an affirmative allegation.
The good woman said: Il don't see
any sense in the Rev. preach
ing on labor questions, when his con-
| gregation Is made up wholly OF a. class
who are not what we call laborers."
With that courtesy so characteristic
of the editorial mind we replied:
Madam. the very truthfulness of your
statement is the strongest kind of an
| argument in favor Of the preachers
action. The greater the number OF
capitalists in the church, The greater
the need Of their being instructed and
| enlightened on the rights of labor and
their own correlative duties in REFER
ence thereto.
The church has been too long dire
lict in this respect and Christianity
has suffered much reproach In conse-
quence thereof. This is III intensely
practical age. The great need OF the
world today Is not doctrines but deeds.
A man may occupy the highest seats
in the synagogues. and be - destitute
Of the spirit Of the Nazarine as the
animals that perish. The faith that
does not find expression In action Is
characterized. by an authoritative
writer as a dead thing.
That is practically the equivalent
Of saying that It does not exist at all.
Faith is the abstract mama Of the
concrete union Of two entities-belief
and work. It is the two expressed by
one term IL word-.faith.
Common table salt is union of
soda and chlorine. Eliminate one or
the other and you have no salt. BY
the way, if our memory serves us
right, a greater than John the Bap-
fist, once referred to salt as losing it
SAVIOR. and thus becoming worthless.
1t strikes US, that on a mere sus-
picion by the preacher Of disturb
ance in the chemical (spirituaD COM
bination Of belief and works, it is his
imperative duty, If true to the spirit
Of his Master, to sound a note Of
warning.
The fact that he does 1t is the
strongest kind OF evidence that he is
entrusted with a message, and is de-
termined to deliver it, regardless Of
the effect upon himself Of his 80 doing.
We are not accustomed to curryine
favor from clergyn1en, but the most
hopeful signs Of the times, today. is
the disposition N part Of our ablest
and best ministers to rise above the
pew, and maintain the honor and dig
nifty Of The pulpit by faithfully pro-
claiming the gospel regardless OF
whose "corns are hurt"
That they shall provoke hostility in
certain quarters is more than prob
able. But what Of that? Instruct and
teacH tney must. For this cause were
they commissioned and to that end
were they ordained.
Refractory pupils fall to the lot or
every teacher. Besides, tn: self-de-
NAL and exertion necessary in acquir-
Ing practical knowledge OF the work.
1ngs Of new truths, are just as unpal-
atable to old human nature as to the
youngster, and the old are Just as
likely to murmur under the ordeal.
though they are much less excusable
M There is consolation in & sense Of
duty done, that all the thorns and

A POEM
Received by Mr.. and Mrs. J. W..

Received by Mr.. and Mrs. J. W.
Travers in Letter Of Sympathy.
Beyond the stars and the sunset,
In the Heavenly Garden above,
To-day blooms another fair blossom
The idol and pride of your love.
The stiffness, once broken with
laughter,
The vision of baby's sweet face,
All remind you the Father has called
him,
His glorious palace to grace.
'Tis useless to say, do not sorrow,
And bid you dry every tear.
But He who has wept with the suf-
fering,
Is near you to comfort and cheer.
For He's only borrowed your dar-
ling,
He lives in His love and His care:
And the tiny hands beckon you for
ward
To claim him again over there.
The sin of this world cannot touch
him,
LIES sorrows he never will know.
But he lives in the likeness OF Him
Who was once fair child here be-
low.
Then lift up your eyes unto Heaven
And smile through your tears II you
can,
Praying God to reveal in His mercy
The mystery that shadows His
plan.
For Jesus who poured out blessing
On little ones lovely and pure.
Has folded your babe to His bosom
So tender, SO safe, and secure.
And so. at Eternity's dawning,
The darling the Father had given
Shall be yours in the new glory land,
For of such is the Kingdom OF
Heaven"
