has been shown that 426.000 are an
nually disabled In factories and con-
struction work. But we have no
means of knowing how many are in
'dustrially displaced by inhaling the
poisonous fumes In working over bat
tories, or the large numbers that are
afflicted with mercurial poisoning and
other ailments in the hat industry
and allied trades. Neither do we
know how. many succumb to painters
collie, or blood poison by working with
brass and copper.
The victims Of tuberculosis among
sweatshop workers, grain trimmers,
longshoremen, coal hands and others
are shown to be numerous by the
board Of health reports. but the exact
numbers have never been gathered
into statistical form.
Tributary Evils.
This loss Of life and limb in times
Of peace would be sufficiently appal-
ling In itself were there no tributary
evils. But the situation is rendered
even more serious by the fact that
only about IL per cent. of the indus
trial accidents result in the death Of
the victims. while IS per cent. or 445,-
900, are doomed to a one-sided battle
for existence.
When a man loses limb or the use
Of 1t, is rendered partially blind by
an accident, or In countless ways Is
incapacitated for his regular work, the
first great question confronting him Is

ton, reacts on itself; and the hard.
pressed employer becomes victim to
the very system that is slowly but GER
tainly adding to the cost of main
tenance and production by increasing
the value of labor, which he has tried
to maintain. II not to cheaper.
Remedy Pointed Out.
Where is the remedy? If the pres.
ent Industrial system cannot be abol-
ished, 1t may be controlled. If the
wear and tear must continue, 1t may
proceed with less friction and waste.
Legislation on this point Is becoming
more stringent, and employers them
selves are aiding in the effort to avoid
needless loss Of life and limb.
This problem can be solved only by
sorting out the injured and readjust-
ing them to other forms of labor. AS
employers more fully appreciate the
great financial loss Of life and limb,
as they now 80 carefully guard the
waste of raw material and so assidu-
ously convert by-products into profit,
the half million now annually forced
into idleness and nonproductivity will
be reestablished on a self-supporting
basis.
Centuries ParaIIeied.
In former times vassals, serfs and
slaves gave up their lives blindly to
their feudal chiefs; fighting their bat
ties, filling their soil. selling their own
birth rights for pot Of miserable
porridge.
AS the fourteenth century vassal
sold his service and life for food and

This Industrial carnage costs the
people of the country, directly and In

of dollars--a sum larger than the

Such are the death tolls Of indus

smiling face to those whose occupa-

"Ano saul was AFRAID OF DAVID
because the Lord was with him
and was departed from SAUL"
What q commentary this 10 on
the spiritual condition Of Saul!
Afraid Of Davldl that noble
hearted, brave, unseIfish defend
er Of his nation and his king.
Afraid Of David! that open,
frank, unassumIng young man
who sought not HE own good but
that Of the king. Afraid Of David
that simple country lad who had
90 modestly taken his place In
the kings palace and had minis
tered to the ill-natured king by
hIs sweet music. Think Of itl
Afraid Of David, because filled
with devotion to God and love to
mankind, ne ought by every act
Of his to perform some kindly
service for others. No, not afraid
Of David because the latter was
plotting against him; because no
was trying to work his hurt; be-
cause he was secretly his enemy
and was proving treachsrous to
trust placed In his charge. No,
but afraid Of David, because the
Lord was with him. Think ofitl
Saul knew that he had been
rejected Of God, or rather that
through his wIIIfuI dIsobedience
he had rejected God, and then In
hardness Of heart that knew no
repentance hs had persisted In
HE course. Saul also knew that
God had chosen David. There 10
no doubt but that at last the
amounting Of the shepherd boy
by Samuel had become known to
him and that the thought that
this young man had been set
apart az the coming king Of
Israel filled his heart with hatred
and fear. He knew all this and
was foolish enough to think that
no could thwart Gods purposes;
that he could bar the pathway Of
the Divine will by the weak,
puny arm Of flesh.
There is no more pitIable or
awful picture In the Bible than
this picture Of Saul fighting
against God and Gods anointed.
Scripture says "the heather rage
and the people imagine vain
thing. The rulers Of the earth
set themselves and take counsel
together against the Lord and
against his anointed. But he
that sitteth In the Heavens shall
laugh: the Lord shall have them
In derision." oh, what folly to
fight against God.
We can In some measure I'M
derstand how the heather can
fight against God, but how one
Of saul's training, and opportuni-
ties and the light which had
come to him could so do, ls quite
beyond our comprehension. But
does Saul stand alone In this
condition.? 10 there any danger
that others who have walked
close to God as he did may yet
fall to the depths to which no
fell? After all, how was such
condition posslbIe7 II was taken
step by step In wiIlfuI disobedl-
ence and violation Of the Divine
will. And there Is danger to
every soul which INDUCES In sin
and persists therein that at last
Gods spirit will depart and leave
that soul forever. Let W not
commit the objectionable sin OF
bIasphemy against the Holy
Ghost.
