Labor of today had been launched in
Pittsburg less than a year previous
(Dec. 1918, 1SS1). and was then known
as the Federation of Organized Trades
and Labor Unions of the United States
and Canada. 1t was not until some four
years after the organization OF the Den
yer Trades and Labor Assembly that the
American Federation of Labor was
formed under its present title at meet
ing held in Columbus, Ohio, Dec. S-12.
1886.
To the Denver Trades and Labor AS
sembly belongs the honor of being the
second Oldest central body west of the
Missouri river, only that of San Fran
cisco antedating the local assembly. and
for many years was the pioneer of the
intermountain country, that OF our sister
city of Pueblo being organized in 1887.
The original constitution of the as
sembly has been revised but twice since
its adoption in 1882, demonstrating that
the originators builded wisely.

but that was at a time when but fve or
ganizations had representatives elected.
From the start the faithful ones had all
the work to do. and for about three
years it was hard to convince many or
ganizations that the work Of the assem-
bly, was for the benefit Of all, but from
that time on the progress OF the assem-
bly, has been continual. although many
schemes have been concocted and organ

The first labor difficulty of any magni-
tude In which the assembly participated
was the shopmen's strike on the Union
Pacific in 1884. The shopmen of the vari-
GUS crafts were well organized into what
was known as Knights and Labor AS
sembly No. 3217. Many of the engineers
and firemen also belonged to this assem-
bly,. The fight was fast and furious
while It lasted, and the strikers were vic
torious.

Fathers business. Even unto tho prayer
In Gethsemane when lie says THY will
not mine be done" He shows His entire
devotion TO tho Father and the cause for
which lie lived and died. From such life
as this we can take a very profitable les
son. As Christ set his standards high, we
can strive TO attain that high perfection,
and although we will fall far short some
times the effort win have helped us. We
can be as devoted, as faithful in our
everyday tasks as in the big things. It Is
Just such faithful and devoted men that
make any cause successful. and Christian
ity needs more and more Of them. Each OF
us have a certain work which is intended
for US to do, and no one else can take his
place. Our mission may not seem as high
to us as sme one discs, but Il is not what
we do, but how We do it that counts with
Christ
The lesson Of kindness shines forth all
through Christs life. We never read OF
His speaking one harsh word throughout
His life. He always had a helping word
or deed for those that came to Him. He
always healed those who had faith to
believe that He could. lie never condemn
ed. always forgave. When they brought
the woman. found In sin. to Him. although
by the Jewish law she should have been
stoned to death, yet Christ taught them
a higher law, the law Of forgiveness and
tcld them that no who is without sin
should cast tho first stone. II Christ is as
willing to forgive US how ought we to
treat our fellows. Ought We not to forgive
them even as Christ has forgiven US? II
Christ said He was not come to con-
denim but to save, by what authority can
We so much lower than Christ, take the
responsibility OF calling a soul lost. Christ
never gives a man up, and We ought not
to either. Even unto His dying hour. when
lie promised the thief salvation from the
cross did Christ's kindness show itself.
Always thinking OF others eventhough lie
were in His dying pain.
A final examination will come to all who
are I'm this school of Christ. Alone we
must enter the judgment hall. there TO
give an account Of the result OF our study.
There will be no chance Of "cribblng.'
No excuses will be accepted, neither will
there be any opportunity to blame another
for our poor scholarship. At this time
Evening journal., 1910-03-30

Every one OF us wants to get as much
out OF this life as possible. and Christ is
ready TO help US each one in our individ-
ual struggle. No matter how weu versed
you are in affairs. no matter how we'll
educated you are. it is always possible TO
add TO your store Of knowledge. IL has
been said that a wise man is always WILL
ing to learn. and that only a fool cannot
be taught. In selecting school or teacher
for yourself or someone else you usually
select the one that will train you best for
the future you have chosen for yourself.
You choose the school which speciaizes
in the branch which will be of the most
assistance to you. This world is a great
school with different teachers. We are
placed here by God and given the free
choice Of our teacher. We can take up
worldly subjects. those things which hurt
us physically, morally and spiritually, We
can take up moral ethics and leave Christ
out of It, or We can go to school under
Christ and learn from Him. II we wish TO
spend eternity with Christ the best way
to prepare for II is to go TO school under
Him on earth. If we are willing TO take
the consequences. whatever they may be
for our course, we can follow other teach
ers at variance with Him.
Tho entrahco examination TO Christs
school is belief There is but one text
book--the Bible, but this treats of all sub
iects necessary for promotion into heaven.
There is but one term-our life time. Our
associates are all kindred spirits in that
they have the same purposes in this life
and the same aims for life to come. Every
submission to discipline increases our love
for our Teacher; every obedience makes
us wiser. Indeed, every grade or depart
ment of His school is designed for our
special benefit And the compensation of
the Teacher, What is IL? Why. these
faulty lives Of ours which might and
ought to be thousand times better.
Christ can teach us in a great many diff
forent ways. We have a large number OF
His sayings recorded, and no philosopher
ever reached greater heights than lie. no
lawyer ever produced better arguments.
Iio can teach us how 10 live our earthly
life so that we get the most out of It, and
lie teaches US our relation TO God. He
teaches us how to make earthly friends
and how to pray to the Father who is a
friend Of all. lie teaches US how to live
and how to die.
ono OF the greatest lessons Christ
teaches us is Devotion. Christ came TO
earth with one idea. and although it took
thirty years before tho time was ripe TO
have that idea bunlled, yet He faithfully
and patiently devoted Himself TO the
waiting At the age OF twelve although He
was able to talk with tho Doctors in the
Temple. He knew that the time was not
ready for Him to begin His ministry,
and 50 He very patiently drew Himself
back to His own village and awaited the
time when God was ready to bless His
beloved Son. But after He did enter into
His ministry We see a life wholly de-
voted to the work He IS doing. Tic allows
no outside influences to carry Him aside
from HIS purposes and allows no discour-
! agements TO deter Him from doing His
