which things these persons insist or

not know, that he became member
OF the very organization of his day.
which was guilty of everything thatn

Dor When he addressed the leaders
OF the scribes and Pharisees, he not
only reminded them that their faith
ers had scoufged and prosecuted the
prophets, that they had killed and, cru
cified those who had been sent to
them, but that they, themselves, were
guilty OF the most damnable sins
hypocrisy, graft, persecution. And
these very leaders afterward crucified
him Tor his persistent declaration that
he was the Son of God and that he
had been sent to save the people.
Jesus Christ was a member of that
ancient organization, because in
spite of the fact that it was largely
controlled by men of this type-it had
within it the elements of true piety
and faithfulness toward Cod and to-
ward men. 1t must, in all fairness be
said today with reference to organized
labor, that it, too, contains the ele-
ments which make for a higher type
Of manhood and womanhood even
though there are within its ranks some
men who dishonor the cause. These
must soon be eliminated, so that the
movement which represents the best
interests of the working people, may
no longer be handicapped by unfaith-
full leaders.
To this end, why would it not be
well to invite into membership, the
man who may truly be claimed as
"Labor's champion Jesus Christ?
Let organized labor take it's stand be-
hind him. Permit him to speak for
you. You need never again quote the
political economist. Quote Christ.
Never has any man more bitterly de-
nounced the oppressor. Invite him to
sit upon your platform. Take him in
to your councils. If you will, you are
sure to win. for Christ is sure to win.
1 have very strong conviction that if
the workingmen of the world were to
claim Christ as their exponent, their
leader with all that goes with this
claim, no power on earth could with
stand their onward march. Does this
seem visionary? But hasn't the church
done this very thing? The true
Church rests absolutely and specifcal-
ly upon the person of Jesus Christ.
All of it's progress is due to this fact.
It's sacrifice as we'll as its victories
were founded upon it's faith in Christ
He Is claimed today by the church as
as living, personal power. Labor,
too, may have HMM the broadcast,
fullest sense. And when it again LAYS
claim upon Christ it's victory is as
sured.

LEAVE YOUR WIRING ALONE


Why is it that man who would call
in a timer to stop a leak in the roof,
a carpenter to hang door, or plumb
er to repair water pipes, will try to
repair or add additional lights to the
electrical wiring?
House wiring as it is done in the
city of Wheeling by any OF the COM
panies employing union men IS tuIly
up to the standard demanded by the
National Board Of Fire Underwriters,
and in most every instance 1nsp
by the local inspector. The electrl-
clans take every precaution to insulate
and guard against any leakage or
short circuits which will cause fires
or perhaps severe shock to some
person. 1t is a well known fact that
about all the fires caused by electricity
in and near the city has been by
wiring done, by the handy man. one
Of the most costly fires was by string
ing cord wire around the room, the
writer saw business man In the
heart of the business district putting
m cord wire with .tacks, Like bell wire.
Another class Of men is the fellow
who knows all about electricity (elee-
tricians do not know who is Willing
to come in some night or Sunday and
do YOUR wiring for you-'dt will not
cost you very much" But most times
in the end you will be sorry you did
not employ a competent man to 90 70
the work. then you would feel that It
was properly installed and no need 70

the matter some thought, and you VIII

A century ago butter birds were
MIXED to beat the band by the natives
OF the northern part of South America.
In midsummer the Indians went into
the great caverns where these strange
birds had bullded. and with long poles
the nests were broken and destroyed,
something like the way the Yankee
boys In barns used to break up the
homes OF mud daubers and barn swal-
lows. Butter birds bullded nests In
the tops Of the caverns In inches and
holes worn ages ago by water. A poke
or two with pole and the nest OF gray
clay looking like big cheese came
falling down, the young birds scatter
ing on the door OF the cavern. The
great Jumps Of fat between legs and
under the tail OF the nestlings were
torn from them and piled into earthen
pots and melted down into bird butter
