Superintendent Of the Department Of Church anu
Labor of the Presbyterian Church
Earliest of labor leaders was Moses.
the man who delivered from a cruel bond
age the millions of Israeiites who served
the Pharaoh of Egypt.
The development of a leader is always
a slow process. This is particularly true
in the industrial world. For in the labor
movement there is SO much at stake,
and there are so many interests involved,
that the raw enthusiast cannot be in
trusted with the power of leadership.
Enthusiasm there must be, but it must
be an enthusiasm founded upon intelli-
gence and a genuine experience.
1t required forty years of solitude in
the land of indian to transform the hot
bIodded Moses. the adopted son of Pha-
raohs daughter into the modest Moses
whose name has become synonym for
meekness.
Egyptian" nevertheless he needed the
solitary life of the shepherd on the hill
side to prepare him for the great task
of leading out into liberty the slaves of
the Egyptian ruler.
If ever Moses was glib talker, he for
got how to use this weapon of the spell
binder, for when he was called to his
work, we are told that he himself pro-
tested. saying that he was 'slow of
speech. Perhaps both his modesty and
his inability to speak fuently were in his
favor as a labor leader, for his task was
one which demanded not burning orations
but patient endurance. When he appear
ed before the oppressor of his brethren.
his symbol of power was shepherds
crook typical of his former occupation,
and witness that he, too. came from the
ranks, and that his heart beat true to
that of his suffering kinsmen.
He came, too. with the consciousness
of a sure victory. because he knew that
his cause was just. But more than that
he was confident because he came in the
spirit of a strong moral faith. This
emancipation which he was about to wit

the current of our thoughts. Oh. what
range of joyous outdoor activities the
summer provides-the canoe on a lake in
the wilderness the mountain climbs, the
dip in the surf. the pedestrian trip
through leafy lanes. the golden hours of
absolute vacuity of mind as one stretches
himself on a messy bank or under some
giant tree, hearing only the hum Of the
bees in the orchard and the song Of the
birds: the lavish sunshine and the peace
OF the starlit skies. Truly all these things
may be had for almost nothing, for. as
Lowell has said:
No price is set on the lavish summer
Our response to the changing phases
Of the natural world and its varied rich
provisions for our enjoyment Is proof of
our divine origin and destiny. For 1t is
the fulness of the summers life that
appeals to us. And this life. both in the
tiniest blade and the most majestic tree of
the forest, Is nothing other than the life
of God.
Summer is the best Of all times for
realizing the presence of God and for en-
tering into the personal religious life.
How think you about it, friends?

human machinery in general would break

the chief boons Of vacation. are we sure
that this year we are utilizing our time
in such way that we are really getting

Another delight of the summer time is
the chance to renew old friendships or
make new ones. In term time in

Henry Drummond's advice. Keep your

to get back to the old home and "see the

things?

known. is the only instance. says writer
in lions Herald, of an undergraduate of
any college that ever established mis-

self. He is William Whiting Borden of
Chicago and his institution, known as
the Yale Hope Mission. is situated on
court street about half mile from the
Yale campus. The story of this Yale stu
dents work has been widely commented
upon.
Two years ago young Borden. then a
sophomore. decided to undertake the
work. A couple OF rooms were first
opened. one in which nightly revival meet
ings were held. and another to house the
friendless men of the street. The dor
mitory was fitted up with accommoda-
tons for thirty, and Yale Hope Mission
opened its doors. Soon the nightly meet
ings were crowded with men who came

of his mission, volunteered to help, and
got into the habit of showing up at the
nightly meetings and speaking to the
men, until now it has become a regular
program to have Yale speaker each
night
month ago the entire block in which
the mission had been housed for two
years was bought at cost of upward OF
$4,000. and the property has become the

"The Good Old Summer Time"

Why do we like summer? Certainly
most of us do. though now and then some
one wilted by the heat or tired OF the
contest with flies and the mosquitoes
declares his preference for some other
season And yet the poets and the song
makers continue to sound the praises OF
the summer solstice above those of winter.
autumn or even spring. And the poets
are usually right in discerning what emo
tions throb most frequently In the hearts
of those for whom they write. A year
without summer would indeed be I'M
thinkable in advance and unbearable in
its progress. So now that this glorious
summer of our content is rapidly speeding
away let's try to find out in what it's
charm consists, and whether we are get
ting every bit of comfort and uplift out
of 1t that we ought to get.
We like summer because it means for
most of us a little let-up from routine
duties and perhaps too familiar surround

sionary at large. These selected to
counsel with and assist them a commit
tee of fourteen, striking in the diversity
of interests represented.
The chairman of this committee had
been college professor and president,
but IS now a successful manufacturer.
The vice chairman is the business agent
of labor union. The secretary is the
editor of labor journal. The treasurer
is the general manager of one of Roches-
ter's largest industries. Two of the COM
mitteemen are leading physicians. one Is

the editor of one OF the daily newspapers.
DR.. Strayer's church freed him for
these twenty meetings and loaned its
quartet. Friends in his congregation vol
unfairly contributed nearly one-third OF
the expense. The meetings cost. in all,
a little less than $175 apiece. for rental
of theater, advertising. which followed
theatrical precedents; programs. music
and one other item to be referred to
later. Before a meeting was held those
not known to be contributors to any
church were solicited for funds. until
there was in hand enough to finance the
series. provided the theater audiences
should contribute an average of $40 an
evening. The audiences did little better
than this. and the great bulk of their Of
ferings was In pennies-often the collec-
ton produced as many as 1900 coins.
The only salaried person connected with
the series. aside from the orchestra men,
bers, who we're included in the theater
rental was a secretary, who charged for
only half her time. although she gave 1t
all.
Meetings Unconventional.
The meetings were unconventional. The
orchestra played for half an hour before
the curtain rose. Ministers, members of
the committee and guests occupied the
