Jesus Christ, was never mentioned.
He said, Let 1t not be so with us,
bus let us remember we cannot get
along without the Almighty God and
take the power of His wisdom and
goodness into consideration and that
world, the source of all justice, peace,
charity and happiness. He came to
teach brotherly love and dispel dark
ness and raise men up. He was the
only factor and the only agent that
could accomplish this work and has
taught many things, given men higher
aims and aspirations and the means
to acquire them with He has digni-
fed and enobled labor beyond ex-
preston, because He was a laborer
Himself working at the bench beside
His foster father BY His labor He
for all times sanctified, elevated and
enobled the laboring man, who strives
and tolls as Jesus Christ did What
noble work is it to follow in the
footsteps of our Saviour. Later on
He associated not with the men of
wealth, honor and renown, but with
the lowly working men, going about
doing good as he went. When He es-
tablished the church, whose mission
it is to teach the great power Of
truth, justice and equity for all men
He selected not the learned and dis
tinguished men but the poor fisher
men as the pillars of the church, and
His apostles and ambassadors. How
He ennobled labor not only by His
principles but by His examples.
Pope Plus is the son of a laboring
man and Pope Leo was known as the
laboring mans Pope, as he was able
to see the problems of the day and
particularly the labor problems.
Workman's Place in History.
In this country the laboring man
has glorious history. 1t was not the
trained soldier or the professional
men of arms that gained our indi-
pendence but the united laboring men
of the country who overcame and con-
quered the greatest nation on earth
at that time and gave liberty to this
great nation that today welcomes with
open arms the laborers of the whole
world so long as they abide by the
laws of equity, justice and patriotism
Not only did the laboring men give
this government, fight, secure and be-
queath the liberty to us, but they left
J their families and homes to save it,
Therefore, the working men in this
country have gained an important
place in history and they will retain
! it so long as they believe and uphold
the great teachings of Christ who first
proclaimed to the world the equality
of all men before God.
Certain safeguards must be placed
on the government of the unions sc
that danger and pitfalls may be
avoided. This can be accomplished
by the placing at the head of the or
|
tried and worthy of confidence and
who possess wisdom, knowledge and
patience and are not carried along by
indignation of the moment. In order
TO realize it's aims the organization
must be careful in its government and
place in charge not irresponsible men
| hut men with children and poOd citi-
zens. If particular notice is given to
| these matters then the society will be
/ in safe hands and the results for
which it was established will be OBJ
taned. then the organization will not
only be beneficial to the members
but the community and citizens and
fellow men"
The attendance at the service wa
unusually large.
