New men, new lights. and the code

What is liberty now were license

And each new decade must have new

w We are the laboring men
We the muscle of the tribes and lands,
With sun-trod faces and horn-g0red hands;
With well-patched garments, starred and coarse
With unframed roices, heavy and hoarse;
Who brave the death of the noontide heats,
Who mow the meadows and pare the streets,
Who push the plow by the smooth-taced sod,
Or climb the crags Nth a well-flIed bod.
Yes, we are the laboring men
The genuine laboring men,
And each, somewhere in the stormy sky,
Has street. lore-star, be 1t lou or high;
For pride haze We to do and dare
And heart hare We to cherish and care;
And power have we-for, lose our braun,

Or bind our hands or fetter our feet,
And what would the gaunt World find to eatS

The Genutne tdb0rng men,
We bolt the gates Of the angry seas,
We keep the nations granary keys;
The routes of trade ne have built and planned
Are ueins of life to q hungry land
And power hare we in our peaceful StrVe'
For nations trade is a nations life;
And take the sails of our commerce IN.
Where were your ARTISANS pals OF tlmF
Ave, whers were your labOrers then'
For we are the laboring men!
VINO are the labOring menS
" We are the laboring men:
We of the mental toll and strain,
Who still the body and lash the BRAN;
Who wield our pen when the worlds asleep
And plead nth mortals to laugh or peep;
Who bind the round and plead the cause,
Who preach the sermons and make the tdws;
Who man the stage for the listening throng
And fqht the deuils Of shame and wrong.
Yes, we are the labOring men
The genuine laboring men.
And though our hands be small and White.
And though our flesh be tender and light,
And though our music be soft and lou,
Our red blood sluiceS are Swift Of for.
We've power TO kindle passions fire
With the fame of rage and fell desire;

And rho shall question then
That We are the laboring menS

They who creep in deHs and lanes
To rob their betters Of honest gains;
The rich who stoop to deUour the poor.
The tramps who beg from door TO door.
The rogues who lore ddrkened sky.
And steal and rob, and cheat and lie;
The loafng wights and senSsless bloats
Who drain their pockets to wet their Threats.
They're not the Laboring men

And all true hearts that the price pould give

And mark these foes NTH villain brand,
And shame them into the ranks Of toll

We of the iron and waterway,
Whom fire and steam and tide obey:
Who stab the sea NTH prow of oak,

We are the labortng men:
We who stand in the ranks Of trade
And count the TALES that toll has made;
Who guard the Golfers of wealth untold,

And rear the buildings and sail the ships;
And though our coats be trtfe fine,
And though our diamonds fash and shine,
Yet we are the laboring men

Message to the Christian People.

It is not often given to ono man to
figure 30 notably and to exercise Ds.
,ion-wide influence for 80 long time as
has been the case with Col. Henry
Watterson Familiarity known IS "Marse
Henry, who has recently retired from
rhe chief ownership and Editor-in. chief
of the Louisville Courier Journal, one of
The leading secular publication of the
country. Col. Watterson Is clsssed with
Horace Greeley, Charles A. Dana and
the elder James Gordon Bennett. For
years whatever has come from his pen
has received respectful consideration,
even by those who differed from him
radically politically. The following
from his pen published In recent issue
of his paper is worthy the serious atten.
ton of every Christian patriot, man or
woman in South Paris, or elsewhere:
"Surely the future looks black enough,
yet it holds hope, a single hope. One,
and one power only can arrest the des-
cent and save US. That Is the Christian
religion.
Democracy is but side issue. The
paramount issue, underlying the issue

and Him crucified; the bedrock Of
civilization; the source and resource Of
that is worth having In the world that is,
that gives promise In the world to come,
not as an abstraction; not as huddle OF
sects and factions; but as q mighty force
and principle of being. The Word Of
God, delivered by the gentle Nazarene
upon the hill sides of Judea, sanctifled
by the cross of Calvary, has survived
every assault. If the world is to be
saved from Observation-Disclosures no
less than spiritual destruction-it will
be saved alone by the Christian religion.
That eliminated leaves the earth to
eternal war"
This statement gives rise to the follow
ing question, which 1 would press home
upon the heart of every one: Can We
make q better Investment of our time,
our strength, our talents, our influence,
our sympathy and our money, to the
advantage of the future, in the life that
now is, than to invest all these in that
one institution, whose one mission is to
keep alive and give efficiency to the
Christion religion:-The Church of Jesus
Christ? Another question:-Is not Q
a failure thus to invest ourselves in the
church, thus diminishing the power OF
the church to fulfill it's mission really
