The true life is the one that has real
lied the sovereignty of self-control and
the majesty of self-mastery. Tennyson
says: "Self-reverence, self-knowledge and
self-control. these three lead life to SOW

very germ of true character. 1t is that
which makes the difference between the

cry" provides that a master must never
talk harshly to his slave, and that he must
listen to all possible complaints the latter
may present with gentleness, sympathy
and love-
And not only was the slave to enjoy all
human rights during his lifetime, but also
in the event of his death he to be ac-
corded fitting burial and proper eulogy
(Berachoth 16).
The above are ordinances affecting the
condition of the slave who had entirely
sold himself as the purchased possession of
another man; but now shall proceed to-
discuss briefly the laws governing the or
binary workrnen among the Jews of ancient
times.
No employer had a right to force his en-
ployes to work any longer time than the
regular working hours. In accordance with
the custom of the place. If an employer
has raised the wages of his employees with
view TO making them work overtime the
workingmen may say: You have raised
our wages merely for the sake of having us
do better work"
In those instances where workingmen re-
ceive their meals at the employers table
the master should rather specify to them
the kind of food intended for their board,
else his duty would not be fulfilled. even
though he be feasting them a la King Sol
ONION (Baba Mezia, so.
If one had hired laborers per diem to do q
certain kind of work. and they had their
work done ere the day was over, he may
give them lighter kind Of work to COM
plete the days task and IL he have no other
work to give them he must still pay their
wages
The right for a laboring man to strike
was, under the Jewish regime, uncon-
dltionai. "A workman has a right to re-
peal his contract even in the middle of the
day (Baba Mezfa, 76), and that In spite of
the fact that in all other instances the
Talmudic injunctions were very severe on
those who would be contract breakers and
defaulter Of this kind invariably lost his
case.
This may give US an idea OF the high
estimate in which the Talmudists regarded
LABOR and the personal freedom OF him
that Is obliged to hire out his strength and
energies to some one besides himself
Inc Jewish laws were very strict, in that
the workman's wages had to be paid at the
completion OF the days work, unless he
himself would accede to any delay. In any
controversy that arose with regard to the
payment Of wages. whether due to misun-
Outstanding or to any other cause. the law
gave more credence to the workman than
the empoye. Baba Mexia, 1907
Ana these humane institutions had existed
among Jews at the remote period of 1900
years ago. The rulings we have Just quoted
from the Talmud were merely a sort of
commentary to those laws and traditions
which the great teacher Moses had pro-
mulgated on Sinai Immediately upon his
nberating an entire people from slavery
and cruel servitude.
Many of these ancient laws have not al
yet been carried into fulfllment by even
the best efforts Of modern progressiveness,
and throughout the globe q continuous
struggle Is in progress for those humane
principles which existed among Jews thou

In the gray distance of antiquity, when
the world was all groping in darkness and
sunken deep in the mlre of thralldom;
when the rule of tyranny was predominant
and might was construed to be right; when
human creatures were made the purchase
possession of others of their kind and were
delivered into their masters hands, both
Substance and soul-in those primitive ages
there existed among Jews code of sublime
laws that gave the serf and the workman
every right and claim on life and the pur-
suit of happiness.
1t is a fact well known TO the searching
mind that Moses, Israels great law-giver,
was not in a position to literally abolish
the rule of slavery. The time was not
ripe for such action. But in lieu of a
thorough eradication of this practice he
gave the slave important privileges. sup
ported by such stringent measures that Ito
purchase slave singly meant to acquire
a master for ones SELF
The Talniudical sages have given a still
wider scope to these privileges, and have
made the laws connected Herewith even
more stringent.
1t was prohibited to call slave by the
name of slave or to address him in any
derogatory manner. A servitor was not
allowed to wash his masters feet, to put on
the shoes. or serve him in any way de-
grading to human dignity (Mechiltha Mish-
patin).
A master had no right to hire out his
slave to others so as to gain the earnings
for himself. The slave was to do only that
kind of work which was to benefit his own
master, and he was to be employee only
in that line of business in which he was
engaged prior to being sold as slave Nor
had the master a right to demand the slave
to do any work which he Is not in need OF
and from which he may derive no benefit
(Saphra, Behar).
To redeem a slave out Of his slavery was
regarded one Of the noblest principles OF
the Mosaic code. The slave had to be fur
nished with food Of the same quality OF
which the master partakes even wines and
meats were no exception to this rule. II
the master drank old wine he was not per
mitted to give his slave new wine: II he
himself slept on feathers he burst not give
the latter a pillow made OF straw kedu-
SHIN 3D. Maimonides went even farther
to decree that the master had no right
himself to live in country home and keer
his slave in the city, or vice versa. The
master had also to provide for the sus'
tenance of his slaves wife.
Although these rulings were made espe.
cially for the slave Of Hebrew descent, yet
many of them were applicable to the Ca
mantle slave as well. 1t was strictly pro
hibited to overwork a nOn-Jewish slave
and it was the bounden duty OF every
Israelite to see to 1t that no one shall
force such slave to labor beyond his ply
steal strength. If a slave became feeble
and incapacitated for labor the master
was obliged to support him and provide
for all his wants, even better than for MS
healthy slave (Jerushalmi, Baba Kama, SS)

slave and then take his own meal"
