Some men seem to think If they get

minimum has been the purpose while
at the same time keeping up the stan
dard of merchandising has been our
motto. We ask the candid reasoner,
need we fear outside competition on
price quality considered. Is it any
wonder we feel like shouting a word
Of praise for the town? Should we not
be ashamed to offer words OF culicism
with such facts staring us in the face?
We expect to continue to promote what
we believe will be for the best interest
of all. We have passed through hard
panic that has made business dull. No
more 30 than labor, or real estate, or,
fact, everything we call business was
at almost complete standstill. But I
ask you, is there one other town that
has had as few financial failures in the
past eighteen months as Reynoldsville?
Does this not show careful business
management? Why should we not all
be proud Of our town and stay right
with 1t? We have some of the most
loyal citizens to be found anywhere.
We heard q mechanic say some days
ago that he had an offer OF $3.50 per
day but had refused 1t because 1t would
require him to leave Reynoldsville and
he did not want to do that.

fuder; we have joined the Boomers

divine and the human in the fields,
the factories and the shops means, the
nobility of work and it's possibilities
of spiritual education becomes i'm
laborare est orare." 'To work is to
pray" prayer means service. And so
let us bring our whole heart and soul
into the work which God ''has appoint
ed for us. Let us work with the prop
er spirit When Matthew Arnold lee
tured in America he urged young writ
ers to put their heart into their work.
And Arnold knew whereof he spoke,
for whilst his technical skill is great,
his sense Of beauty, unerring, his in
stinct for form faultless it is his spirit
which gives his work life. And his ad-
vice applies to all of us. Our cd
ergy should be consecrated, the at
mosphere of our work should be pure.
We should carry our Judaism into
our daily toll. We should make of our
store our office, our home, little
sanctuary. BY so doing we would be
simply following the path carved out
bv our ancestors. When the medieval
Jew performed his morning additions,
he accompanied them with a benedic-
ton When he sat down to breakfast,
he said a grace both before and after
his meal. When he finished his din
ner he said his afternoon prayer;
when he finished his supper he said
his evening prayer and before he re-
tired he said his night prayer. Per
haps he carried it to excess, but that
is not so bad as the danger we incur
of entirely forgetting how to pray.
1t seems to me we could soften our
business transactions and sweeten our
lives if we realized that work is one
of Gods priceless gifts to man. 1t is
just as easy to make a little heaven
of our workshop as it is to make a
little hell of it.
And the moralists Of all ages have
gone cut of their way to emphasize the
fact that hard work is a blessing and
not curse. The man who did not
rise early to gather his mamma obtained
none for when the sun shone it melted.
The 31st chapter of Proverbs presents
us to the ideal working woman whose
husband blesses the work of her
hands. Macaulay tells us of the
good man mending his armor and
trimming his helmets plume and the
good wife's shuttle merrily flashing
through the loom The grand sum
ming up Of all Shakespearean plays
