We rise at early morn;
We're up till late at night;
We work. We strive. for higher life.
A lone comrade and I.
When one of US some sorrow
or some grief must bear.
The other out OF pity helps him it TO
share
A lone comrade and 1.
When fate comes long and lays a stone
Across our lonely pathway.
1t then doth seem that We are lost.
A lone eomrade and ].
But when at last the stones removed.
And fate allows our way;
We our struggles do resume,
A lone eomrade and l.

Dear work. Art thou the curse Of God ?
What must His blessings be-"
God has set the seal OF His approval on
labor, the dignity Of which has never
been adequately developed. Christ said;
My Father worketh hitherto, and I
work" A daily thanksgiving should be
in our hearts. not only for the ability to
work. but for the opportunity and priv
ilege to labor for our loved ones. and
through them touching other lives with
the transmitted gold of strong. beautiful
characters We should be building ell the
while.

Go forth, my friends. do battle
With the fussy pessimists;
Their methods thwart their objects
In the realm OF optimists.
Evolve something
Deviate little from the beaten track.
Are you plagarizlng or building anew?
Run your own think-tank. but don't let
II run TO folly.
Make a start in the labor OF love.
Love thy neighbor as myself"
Lock arms with him and keep step in
the kingdom OF kindness.
Never use lame foot for a new step.
Consider your given word a signed con-
tract and you viii be respected.
There's naught in this world for the
pessimist but worry
He labors best VINO Iabors most for the
welfare of all.
Variation. not idleness. means rest; In
activity tires.
So live that when life's work Is done the
world VIII note your absence.

An eminent divine was suffering under
chronic disease, and consulted three
physicians. The sick man asked the doc

on working. They said three years.
IF I give myself up 20 repose?'

Did not Aristotle say that happiness Is
not so much in our objects as in our en-
ergies? Laboring for others is the surest
way Of overcoming our own troubles.
Everything that is worth enjoying or
possessing can only be obtained by the
pleasure OF working. Work and labor
are noble and meanness only exists when
you allow your faculties to rest unused
in drowsy torpor. How much is lost TO
the world for want of a little courage;
we have the willingness to do, but we fail
to do 1t. The state of the world is such.
and so much depends on action. that
everything seems 10 say loudly to every
man: do something"

Labor is life! 'Tis the still water faiIeth:
ever despaired, bewaileth;
Keep the watch wound, or the dark rust
assaileth.
Labor is rest from the sorrows that
greet us.
Rest from all petty vexstions that meet
us
Rest from sin-promptings that ever en-
treat US.
Rest from world-syrens that lure us to Ill
Labor is health! Lo. the husbandman
reapins:
How through his veins goes the life cur
rent lesping
How his strong arm in its stalwart pride
sweeping.
True as a sunbeam the swift sickle
guides.
Labor is worship the robin is singing.
Labor is worship! the wild bee is ringing.
Listen. That eloquent whisper upspring-
ing.
Speaks to thy soul out of natures great
neart. Mrs. B. EDELIN,.

Labor is mighty purpose; the glory of
strength of body. mind, and muscle. It
produces activity in the veins and
spreads energy on all sides like a bene-
fetal centagion of endeavor. It keeps
the world running day and night the
leaYen which causes the ferment Of ae-
tivits to spread through the whole lump
Of clay, from which humanity is made;
the very virus OF health and an allure
ment TO contentment. the sane. joyful.
