It is TO labor. and 20 labor only, that
man owes everything possessed of ex-
changeable value Labor is the talismar
that has raised him from the condition
OF the savage: that has changed the des-
ert and the forest into cultivated fields;
that has covered the earth with cities,
and the ocean with ships: that has given
us plenty. comfort and elegance. in
stead of want, misery, and barbarism.

Labor is the balm that sweetens life.
that gives unto its votaries sweet peace
fui sleep. It dries the tears from eyes
Of those whose hearts are crushed and
broken almost beyond the power OF en-
duTsnce. and but for labor's balm would
end the life that God has given.
To labor for those we love is the great
est pleasure life has in store. To labor

CO. Longfellew street.
He is truly great who labors for love.
And maketh no account for honor;
His scepter of gold is ever filled
In the work he has done for another.
Il is easy to labor and to wait,
When We know through love is given
Much strength and power TO overcome
Many ills that We wish TO lessen.
The labor OF love IS sweet indeed,
No matter how hard the task;
Strive to conquer, and fiji the need
Wherever You may be asked.
To work in His vineyard day by day
Means love for humanity Away,
Seeking TO serve the Highest we prove
One greatest blessing. The labor of
love" EMMA HUGHES.
