UPLiFT IN TOUCH
 OF A MASTER HAND
Lesson in Shop Talk by Rev. pr. J. B.
 Siocun.

One of the most interesting Y. M. c. A. shop talks Of the season at the
 plant of the International Silver com
 pany was that delivered at noon on
 Tuesday by Rev. Joel B. Slocum, D.
 D., pastor of the Central Baptist
 church. Rev. Dr. Joel B. Slocum spoke
 on the Touch of a Master Hand.
 In the course of his talk Rev. Dr..
 Solcum spoke of beautiful story that
 sculptor and painter. His father, who was also a sculptor, lived to a great age. In his advanced years his sight
 and his touch had become less sensa-
 tive so that the fine skill which had
 made him famous had largely depart ed. The modelling which he did in
 these later years was far from his accustomed excellence. Each night however, after the father had retired, the accomplished son who dearly
 loved his father. would go into the studio and taking the old mans work In hand would correct all it's imper- fections and remove all it's crudities as he was so well able to do. Next morning when the old man came again into the studio, the time when his failing eyesight was keenest, he did not see the deficiencies and with a happy heart took up his task, all un- conscious that some one who loved
 him had been adding to his work the touch Of a master hand. I cannot l vouch for the truth of this story, but I am sure it is the parable of very comforting lesson. If in the work we are doing we are putting forth our 1 best effort. the approval which we will receive from the great Master Me- ehanie will be unqualified As long as we are human, there will be imper- fections in the things we do. But He who walks with us. and works for us will add the touch of infinite skill to our poor endeavors. He will overrule our mistakes and transform our fall ures Into successes.
 The touch of a master hand is
 available for us at each moment of ouI journey.
 1 rennyson sings of the touch of a vanished hand: but the hand of oul Master is not a vanished hand. It is 1 not something of the past. It is here with us great present reality to up. lift and sustain us In the trying expe- rfences of our daily toll. That hand
 was wounded for us. The scar is stil there. By that sign we can gain some 1 hint Of the immeasnreahIe love thai was expended for our salvation.
 l Will you let Him who has such i'm. finite power in His hand guide -yot 1 into tho best things that are possible
 during this new year? With Brown I Ing, let Hs say: "A hand like to this hand shall throw open the gates oI new fife to thee; see the Christ stand
