Written For The Georgian
By the Rev. DIR. c. H. Parkhurst

TIN HERE is a debt which employ
ers owe to employees which
can not be met by the mere
payment of weekly or monthly
wages. If l give my time, my tai
ent, my thought and my interest to
my employer, and l ought to do
that if 1 am a sincere employee,
then nothing which he can give me
in the shape of dollars, no matter
how many. will perfectly cover his
indebtedness to me.
This mere dollars and cents rela-
tion between the two classes is
ruinous. 1t makes the employer
meaner and degrades the man that
works for him. 1t makes the one
slave driver and the other a chattel.
And it is just as true in the
higher as in the lower lines of serv-
ice have not forgotten an in
stance of this kind that occurred in
my own experience, although it
happened almost 40 years ago. 1t
came on a Sunday in the country
had preached as we'll as l knew
how, one sermon in the morning
and one in the evening. 1t had not
occurred to me to think of my
self as a hireling, although I had
assumed that there would be GER
tain amount of compensation.
Purely Money Relations.
At the close of the evening serv-
ice. the treasurer OF the church
stepped up, and, laying two bills
on the pulpit. remarked, There is
your money" 1t was a chiller, and
made the air inside almost as cold
as the ten degrees belov-zero at
nnosphere outside.
The fact can not be disposed Of
that a purely money relation be-
tween two people is debasing. AS
soon as the personal idea drops out,
the mechanical idea enters in 1t
becomes a kind of slot machine ar
rangement whereby the employer
drops in a certain amount of sery-
ice and draws out a corresponding
amount of some sort of commodity.
1t is not fair on either side to
treat the other side as being merely
a form of apparatus; and the two
sides will never get together till
there is blood in it, as well as coin,
humanness as we'll as machinery
There are instances where that is
the relation, and it elevates both
parties. When it is not the relation
labor is debased and the laborer
goes down with It, There is an in
humanity on the part Of any en-
ployer who is negligent of the best
interests Of those who work for
him. And that inhumanity comes
to its extreme expression in such
