SEEK THOSE THINGS
 THAT ARE ABOVE
Rev. pr. slocum Speaks at First Shop
 Talk at Hopkins 6 Aliens.

The first Y. NJ. c. A shop talk at the plant of the Hopkins & Allen com pany was held Friday noon. Rev Dr. Joel B. Slocum being the speaker. Solos by Mrs. Charles T. Bard were much appreciated by the men, Miss Secretary Edwin Hill presided at the meeting.
 Dr. Slocum took for his text Seek those things that are above" He told story of a spider which wove it's web on an apple tree bough above a hedge, whose work was closely watch ed by a naturalist. On one September morn the naturalist noticed that the spider was considerably perturbed. It went from point to point in an anxious sort ofway, apparently not being able to find what it considered was the seat of trouble. Finally it went up a big upper strand which hung down from the bough of the tree and which ap- parently had no connection with the web proper. Actually it was the strand upon which the spider at the beginning of its work had let itself down. Evidently believing it had To- cated the source of difficulty the spid- ly the whole web, released from it's main support, fell down on the hedge below.
 The application made by. Dr. Slo- cum from the story was that we should keep our upper connection Many a man cuts away from the vital things above, some deliberately and others unconsciously and the conse- quences are inevitable. He appealed to the men to keep that upper connec- tion, to hold fast to it and not to break away from it, for then, like the web the fabric of life would fall from the upper strand which connects with the things that are given to man to make him better and happier.
