Labor Trouble 1000 Years Ago.

LABOR lrOuOl9 E,VVV 10ATo ]So'
The question of Labor day naturally
brings to mind the collateral labor
questions Of labor union protests and
strikes. There Is a tendency among
latter day philosophers to prophesy all
manner Of evil to ON to, mankind by
the way Of labor unions and their
troubles both among themselves and
with others and to hold forth these
troubles as Il proof Of human deca-
dence, peculiar only to this degenerate
age.
In this connection, while the early
history Of Rome and the tribulatiOns
of the workman Of that day show that
labor troubles have always been with
us, there is a most interesting passage
in the Acts of the Apostles, which.
when read with an eye to modern Ia
Dor dissensions. shows that mankind
has not varied one whit in his striving
for what he considers the fruits of his
labor since the days of st. Paul. OBJ
serve the nineteenth chapter Of Acts.
according to the twentieth century YER
sion of the New Testament:
NOW Il SllNefSHlltn named DelnetIluS,
who made silver models of the shrine ct
Artemis (Diana) and SO gave a great deal
of work to the artisans, got these men
together, as we'll as the workmcn engaged
in similar occupations. and said: Men.
you know that our prosperity depends
upon this work. and you see and hear
that, no. only in Ephesus. but in almost
the whole of Roman Asia. this Paul has
convinced and won over great numbers
of people by his assertion that those gods
which are made by hands are not gods
at all, so that not only is this business
of ours likely to fall into discredit, but
there is the further danger that the tenn
pie of the great goddess, Artemis Cpiana).
will be thought nothing of and lat sho
herself will be deprived of her splendor.
though all Roman Asia and the whole
world worship her"
When they heard this the men were
greatly enraged and began shouting:
Great is ArteInis of the Ephesians.'
The commotion spread through the whole
city. and the people rushed with one &C.
cord into the theater. dragging with them
the companions of Paul.
Certainly there annot be found iii
any modern newspaper Il more perfect
account Of IL sympathetic strike and a
labor riot. And that was 1900 years
ago.

The Lesson Explained. Verses 2S-31.
Supreme Duties.
The ready and discerning answers
that We're given by Jesus confused his
enemies and delighted his attentive
hearers. One OF the sclibes who be-
longed to the Pharisaic party was
present and he was SO impressed by
the skill Of the Master that he was in
duced to PROFOUND a question. Accord
ing to Matthew'S account, this ques-
toner Was in the plot to confuse Jesus
and involve him III trouble. but the
account Of Mark is more acceptable.
AN scribes We're not opposed to Jesus,
lust as there were pharisees like NicO-
demus who regarded the Master with
great respect. Let us give this scribe
the benefit uf the doubt and think OF
him as a friendly and warm hearted
inquirer. (Which is the first com
mandment of all:" \ distinction was
observed by religious thinkers at this
time between ritual and ethical re-
uuirements. There were some among
the pharisees who laid stress on the
importance Of the ritual law pertaining
to the Sabbath, circumcision. and other
| ceremonials. Another party took the
opposite position and contended for the
superiority of the moral law. This
scribe desired to know what view
Jesus held on this subject. Heal o
Israel; the Lord our God is one Lord"
This significant sentence emphasizing
the unity and supremacy OF Jehovah
is part of the "Shema,' which was
recited morning and evening by every
lew. Its memorable truth was familiar
to the scribe; and when Jesus declared
that the opening sentences constituted
..the first commandment" he indorsed
the superiority of moral obedience over
ritual precision. The allegiance to God
must proceed from the purest motives.
