that God, who created the heaven and
earth, had spoken just one sentence?
II would be a diamond sentence. We
would treasure 1t above all the wealth
of earth, The Word Of God. Yet that
is what We have. For the word OF
Cod The word written, the word
spoken, the word lived. The word
written as we have 1t In the Bible: the
word spoken as we speak 1t and trans
init to others; the word lived as we
translate II into character and deed.
The Living Word.
'All Scripture Is God-breathed." Az
God made man and breathed into him
the breath of life and he became a iiv.
Ing soul, so he inspired men to write
the Scriptures, breathing into them
the breath of his life, and so their
words became his living words. So
We ought to treat Gods Book as q
living thing. We ought to have the
reverence for II that we have for life.
We have more reverence even for
vegetable life than for death. We GER
tainly respect living, growing flower
more than an artificial thing. Where
there Is life 1t Is elevated to higher
realm. and life makes all the differ
ence between respect and disrespect,
reverence and dissertation.
When this word gets into our hearts
and lives it becomes active; 1t shows
life. No Christian is respected who
does not show life. He may have the
constituent parts of the Christian in
different receptacles under the glass
case, and people can look at him with
curious, grewsome sort of interest
If he is dead, but unless they see him
move, and move along the line of
Gods life, they have little respect for
him or his claims.
Some of us have smiled at the fool
sh fellow who stood here on a Chi
cago street, and, looking through the
the window of the taxidermlst's shop,
saw an owl in the midst of the ami
mails and birds he was stufiing for ex-
hibition, and began to criticise the
owl. The feathers were not arranged
right, the head was not on right, the
body was not poised right, and when
he got through his criticising the owl
turned around and winked at him.
The man walked off, feeling that he
was a fool, and so he was. The mo-
ment that owl turned around and
winked he was beyond that fellows
criticism. and everything he said up
TO that moment was true. If we have
4 stuffed sort of Christianity in the
window for exhibition the world will
pass by and criticise us and every
thing about us, but when we show
life, the life of God, we get beyond
the scalpels of all the critics in the
world.

SPLENDID WORK DONE ON
BEHALF Of TACOMA'S POOR
DURING THE PAST YEAR

yesterday. So much charitable
work has been done, however,
that there is a deficit of 1925 in
the treasury, and more money is
needed to carry on the work.
Forty per cent of the cases
handled were those of deserted
wives and widows, most OF them
with children too young to work.
The total receipts for the year
were $S,484 and the expenses
were $S,711.

BY w. G. Shepherd

NEW YORK. Dec. 25.-There
we're curses for j. Pierpont Nor
gan among the steel strikers.
But it's three cheers for Anna
Morgan. his daughter, with the
10000 girls in New York shirt
waist factories, who are striking
for higher wages and better san
itary conditions.
Anna Morgan is breaking every
financial rule her father ever set
for employees, and like a rock of
Gibraltar, with her millions be-
hind her, she stands as leader OF
tho striking girls.
The 200 shirtwaist manufactur-
ers are astounded. Some of them
are millionaires, but what's mil
lion to Anna Morgan's share of the
Morgan fortune?
When the girls called the strike
three weeks ago, there was little
money in their union Golfers. But
they declared they would strike to
the starving point, and some of
them were about at that point
when the strike first began.
One day Mrs. o. H. p. Belmont,
in the name of woman's suffrage,
went down to the strike headquar-
tiers to talk with the girls. One
chat was enough. She hired the
great Hippodrome for them for q
mass meeting. She organized q
giant parade.
Fight" she told the girls.
The police had been maltreatine
the strikers and they had been en-
during it in silence. But the girls
were emboldened by Mrs. Bel
mont's support, and one day TO-.
600 of them marched to the city
hall to complain to Mayor Nc
Clellan in the name of woman,
hood.
One police captain was removed
and scores of policemen who, II
was suspected, had been receiv.
ing money from the shirtwaist
mdHu1dcluTefS, were ITdnSIeffeC
to outlying districts.
Other suffragets began to take
hand. The highest society WON
en- in New York began to fight
with all their might for the girls
You are treading down WON
anhood," they told the employers
Now, many a rich shirtwaist
maker has a wife who would like
to enter society. Some of the
richest manufacturers found them
selves in trouble at home as wei
as at the factory.
What chance will / have in so
ciety If these society women thinl
Of you in this way?" many an EN-
ployer was asked by his wife.
The employers began to investi
gate.
They discovered the secret tina
behind Mrs Belmont and Mrs
Clarence Maekay and Mrs. Philil
Lydig and other society leader
stood Anna Morgan, daughter o
Morgan, king of America"
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1909-12-25

The Colony club, the most fam
GUS club for women, and the most
exclusive of its kind in the world,
was thrown open one afternoon
for a reception for the strikers.
Anna Morgan presided. In one
afternoon the sum of $500 was
collected for the girls. Girl strik-
ers who talked to the society wom-
en- were cheered, and encouraged,
and petted, and called brave lit
tie dearies."
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1909-12-25

After that 1t was different. The
employers were alarmed. They
wrote a letter to mss Morgan,
telling her that things were not
as bad as the girls painted them.
But they are bad" declared
Miss Morgan. I've talked to the
girls myself and 1 know they're
telling the truth. They ought to
have more money and better work
ing conditions"
The desire to help their sisters
spread among society women until
it became a social fad, in which, of
course, the wives of the rich man
ufacturers could have no part. .sss

While STEEL STRIKERS CURSE J.P. MORGAN
SH|RIWAST STRIKERS BLESS HIS DAUGHTER

Anna Morgan has probably
turned the 10000 girls into suf-
fragets; but, in return for that,
she has been instrumental in col
lecting nearly $4,000 for the
strikers.
"Stick to it." she tells them.
we'll help you out in the name of
womanhood. Fight on. We won't
let you starve."
And the girls believe her and
love her.
