Rights Of Others.

When the duties of life are performed
through love and not through seltishness,
the rights of others are considered as
sacred as our own rights.
We are to love our neighbor not more.
not less. but 'as ourselves" With this
conception of Christianity. which is the
true one, we will escape the unworthiness
of claiming and demanding more than We
are entitled to; and if we get more, some
one must get less. There is no surplus of
rights from which one may draw and not
infringe upon what is due another.
The great fault is that nearly every
one is striving not to get his just dues
but to get all that he can, irrespective of
the value of the services rendered. In
this way social justice is defeated and
industrial equality destroyed

A Public Spirit.

Look not every man on his own things.
but every man also on the things OF
others"
The word also clearly shows that the
apostle did not mean that every man was
not to look on his own things or neglect
his own interests. but while doing that
he was also" to look on the things OF
others-that is. to have care and concern
for that which tends to the advantage of
others.
The ideal Christian will ever regard the
honor and profit Of his neighbor as well
as his own. If such a mind such public
spirit, actuated employer and employees
what a splendid change would manifest
itself throughout all the worlds indus
tries.
Gods dealings with mankind are with
individuals singly and personally.
Through the individuals He reaches the
societies and organizations OF men,
The organizations of men are not per.

of them will pass away, but man is I'M

should be in harmony with Gods laws for

The Gospel Way.

1t is Christianity that lifts the whole
subject of work to the plane of religion.
1t is not what men do but the spirit In
which they do 1t.
How employers and employees should
work together is for each in his place
to work together with God.
Until Christianity as vital force in
the lives of men changes the spirit OF
discomfort, injustice and avarice. to the
spirit of brotherly union, the problem of
capital and labor will remain unsolved.
The great mission Christians have be-
fore them is to faithfully practice and
fervently preach the gospel of the bless
ed God-preach it to all classes of men
until they hear and by Gods grace. are
moved to act in harmony with its teach
ings.
Then will come good will and brother
hood. and the peaceable fruits of right
eousness will everywhere abound
In all our way through life the gospel sheds
Its kind and healing beams DER all our woes;
And when all our days are done II lights the path
That leads us on to brighter, happier scenes;
And 1t will live and shine when all beside
Has persisted in the wreck Of earthly things.
