and eliminating child labor, and in
justice to women.
Without this organization some EN-
ployers would have been very selfish
and oppressive, and good employers
could not we'll compete with the bad
ones without adopting their wage and
hours.
The matchless Teacher looking out
upon the world in misery which is
caused chiefly by Some manifestation
of selvshness, said, "Come unto ne "
The n who comes to Christ and
learns his LESSONS finds Peace ana
Rest from a guilty conscience, and by
cheerfully bearing his yoke of obcc-
fence he finds a glorious satisfaction
which cannot be found in the wor.d..,
life.
His yoke or service is Easy as
compared with the slavery of sin and
the burdens it lays upon men-T,:s
dreadful war proclaims this truth.
I'm the degree that any community
comes to Christ as Savior, Teacher.
and Master, just in that same degree
does it find rest from Strife, and
from the Fret of life, and from sins
tragedies.
The society devotee and the cage
searcher for wealth without some good
purpose to accomplish, sooner or later
cry with that brilliant failure of old,
"Vanity of vanities, all is vanity;" but
how full of blessed satisfaction and
substance would life become if they
would come to Christ and learn to fol-
low his holy ways Of service!
The Spirit of Christ in men and wo-
men has led them to preach against
all sensual excuses, because they
cause Vulnerable misery; He has led
them to found schools and hospitals;
He has influenced them toward all
ways of sanitary living; and He will
yet cause the storm of strife to cease
over the tumultuous b%attlefelds.
The poet wrote, "Be strong,
We are not here to play, to dream
to drift;
We have hard work to do and loads
to lift.
shun not the struggle, Face it; tis
Gods gift,
Be strong, be strong.
Say not the days are evil, Who's tt
blame?
. And fold the hands in a~cquiesance,-

Stand up, speak out, and bravely il
Gods name.
Be strong.

the wrong,
How hard the battle goes, the day how
long;
Faint not, fight on, tomorrow come

Schiller told the story that whel
God made the birds they had beautiful
plumage and sweet songs, but tina
they could only walk-God laid wing
upon the ground and told them to tax
them up and carry them-While doinl

The duties of the Christion life an,
it's wise restraints and all manner o
Christian work seem like heavy bur
dens before you have begun that hap
py life; but they become very ligh
when you take them up cheerfully da,
by day as the Lord gives you strength
and you have the blessed rest of soul
;. What seemed to be burdens becom
wings to carry you up into the highe
life where you have fellowship wit
those noble souls who have entered in
to the rest which remaineth to tn
people of God-Canaan of old was bu
the type of this blessed land of beula
where Christians live in rest an
peace with Christ.
Out among the hard working me
and women, and among those who ar
burdened with heavy business or pro
fessional cares and duties, and among
all other classes, you will find soul
burdened one way or another; and a
you come into contact with all classe
you will see the wise philosophy in tn
lines of James Whitcomb Riley:
When a man amt got a cent and he
feeling kind o blue,
And the clouds hang dark and heav
and won't let the sunshine thru,
It's a great thing, o my brethren, TO
a fellow just to lay
His hand upon your shoulder in
friendly sort O. way.
