AN INCONGRUITy.

A writer in current publication
takes exception in no uncertain
phraseology, to the old fashioned
hymn which contains the line And
toll and grief and pain shall cease"
She says: with all my heart | am
thankful that the time has passed
when people wrote things like that
which class toll with grief and pain
And when the whole world ceases to
think in those terms, l believe he
will at last be nearing the millen-
MUM"
There are those in my town, as
there are in yours, who class toll with
grief and pain almost invariably in
the most nonchalant manner in the
world with never a thought for the in
congruity of the classification. Grant
ed that man possesses freedom
loving spirit that chafes at the re-
straint necessarily imposed in some
measure upon his movements by the
certain number of hours which he
daily devotes to toll of some kind, is
that good reason for classifying toll
as brother of grief and pain? Should
there not be, under ordinary and nor
NAL conditions, something of pleas
IRE in ones work, something of am
bition to turn out a good days labor
and to make the flying minutes count
for something that has a value?
There is something which ought to be
contagious in the honest workmans
delight in a piece of work well done
whether he be engaged at manual or
mental labor. The good workman who
does not slight his tasks, nor neglect
his duties grasps the fleeing joys
that come his way with zest and
pure enjoyment that no idler who tolls
not nor spins, can comprehend. The
hour of leisure, the summer half holt
day, the brief resting period mean
more to him than they can possibly
mean to the man or woman who needs
no imperious call upon the hours of
the day and who does not know what
of joy and pleasure and happiness
can be sandwiched into the intervals
between work.
God did not impose a penance upon
man when he insisted that he should
work. But, you say, what of the
wretched conditions of the slums, the
slavery to the factory whistle, the
drudgery of the mines, the criminal
injustice of the wheels of industry
toward the lower classes? God did not
cause such injustice to prevail
am confident of that, Man himself is
at fault for the evils of the present
day system. Do you remember that oft
repeated saying: MANY hands make
light work." Somehow, | feel that if
every man set his hand to the duty
nearest him and refused to eat the
-Aread of idleness kneaded by other
hands, no less deserving than his own,
that there would be no crying need
for REIMBURSEMENT of labor nor cry
against the very evident maladjust-
ment now existing.
And, I'm sincerely confident that
Heaven is no season of enforced idle
ness wherein man will wander about
dsconsOlate, listless and unoccupied.
Grief and pain would not be welcome

A large proportion of the cases
that are around under our feet are
the result of careiessness. 1t is
strange that some men will take the
view they do of treatment of animals.
1t shows that they have been brought

charitable view to taAe of it. This is
one reason why children should be
educated along these lines. Much
good will result in this if this plan is
adopted.
