A COMMON FAULT.
10y the Rev. Charles SteIzIe.)

10y the Rev. Charles StelzIe.)
The sins which we see and condemn
in others, are usually those Of which
we ourselves are guilty. Look out, for
instance, for the man who constantly
accuses others Of hypocrisy and insin-
cerity. It would seem that since all
humanity is so full Of fault and weak
ness, there would exist among men the
greatest forbearance, not for the sin
itself, but for the sinner. Strong should
be the thought in every mind that God
hates sin, but He loves the sinner.
Nothing in scripture better illustrates
this truth than the story Of Jesus and
the adulteress, as 1t is told in the gos-
pels. It may again be read with great
profit:
And every one went home except
Jesus who went to the Mount of
Olives. >. But He went again into the
Temple Courts early in the morning,
and all the people came to him, and he
sat down and taught them. Presently,
however, the Teachers Of the Law and
the Pharisees brought a woman who
had been caught in adultry, and placed
her in the middle Of the Court and said
to Jesus:
Teacher, this woman was found in
the very act Of adultery. Now Moses,
in the Law commanded US to stone
such women to death; what do you

WHY TOM BARKER
JOINED THE UNION

Five o'clock in the morning. What
strange time for the beginning of
narratives! But it was the usual time
for Tom Barker to get up"-it was
as late as he could remain in bed and
still get to work in time. He lived
quite a distance from the office be-
cause 1t was cheaper" as he told his
friends when they asked him his rea-
way:
well, rent downtown would be $40
a month for the kind of house have.
Out here I only have to pay SIS. The
car fare costs me 50 a month, so that
I have SO left out Of the $40"
But your family would have to pay
a fare if they came downtown very
Often" his friends responded.
They will have to remain at home"
was the reply. And remain at home
they did.
Tom was printer, and a non-union
man at that. He had often talked with
printers VINO were members Of the
union, but to their invitations to join
the organization he would always say
that he had job and that was all that
morning things seemed little differ
ent. Here I am putting in ten hours
a day at the shop where I work, while
other men I know only work eight
| hours. I will ave to hurry away be-
fore the children are up, and by the
time I get home at night they will be
tired and cross, and likely be in bed.
Now there's Harry Carter. He works
at the same trade, but he told me that
| since he had been working eight hours
he got home in time in the evening so
! that he would take a little walk with
| his family before dark. It would be
nice to get to see a little Of outdoors
in daylight. Maybe I am making a
mistake by not Joining the Union.
Thus he reasoned with himself as he
hurriedly swallowed his breakfast and
started for his place of work. He
thought of the matter all morning an6
at noon, while eating his lunch, he con.
fessed to himself that he had been do.
| ing his family and himself grea
wrong. A day never seemed any
longer than that day did. What an
I getting out of lfe?" he asked himself
on his way home at night. Il have t
work hard and always will. I never
will make enough that I may tax,
vacations or be able to retire and liv,
at ease, like some men. Why not
then, have little enjoyment alon,
with the labor each day?"
When he arrived at home it wa
They were tired, and so I gave then
