Rev, Charles G. Smith, at the Grand Avenue Baptist church last evening, preached on Divine Goodness" and in the course of his remarks he referred to the American workingman, in con- nection with labor day. The text was: Amos S:2: And he said, Amos, what seest thou? And I said basket of summer fruit" Mir. Smith spoke in part as follows:
 'The prophet could not have beheld 6 more beautiful or tempting sight than basket of ripe summer fruit and the vision stood as an emblem of divine goodness. It is interesting to note that this ancient seer, Amos, was farm-laborer and market gardener he was 8 working man, who had re- l ceived little schooling and had no standing as a preacher or politician of his day. Had he lived In our day he would have belonged to the labor party and been a Joseph Ard or a Keir Hardie and celebrated Labor day right royalty and enjoyed the day at Scheutzen Park. He would also have | spoken his mind on the questions of the day, frankly and fearlessly and especially the relations of the work irg man to the problems of capital and labor and so forth He lived in the era of Isreals greatest prosperity, when the working man basked under his own vine and fig tree in the sun shine of ease and plenty. But the ma jority of his comrades lived wholly material life and were goddess, selfish and ofttimes despotic.
 Amos was a workingman with 8 vision of God and truth, He saw the perils and needs of his brethren and boldly denounced their sordid life and exhorted them to live, 'as ever In the Great Taskmaster's eye, and to make their ideal of life, the utmost for the highest. The basis of his appeal was that their every material blessing and all the enjoyments of their lives were the gifts of God and that they ought to live clean, ,law-abiding lives He was not well received by his comrades and AfOAO lllcll OAlS0 Wno lluSliSO Out Ol the town. But he continued to write his reform pamphlets and to preach his sermons out of church and did great good.
 "The ranks of the American work ingman to-day need recruits of the stamp of Amos. Seventy-f1ve per cent. of our population is composed of workingmen. They are the backbone and sheet-anchors of the common wealth. But the tendency Is, in this age of prosperity--for which we are all glad for the masses to live on low plane and to become goddess, selfish and despotic. I am not sure that Amos would be well received even to- day, for the masses are terribly 'touchy,' even when a friend justly rebukes grave evils in their ranks I speak as workingnlan. If the smile of God is to rest upon us, we must own and acknowledge Him, honor the Sabbath dey, honor the majesty of the law fight for our rights fairly, respect our opponents and live clean, moral and christian lives.
 T have faith to believe that we shall see shortly this noble type of workingman predominant in our land
