Never before was there such a need
FOR Christian toilers in America as the
present day opportunity affords. Never
has the nation needed consecrated lead
ers as today, for the heart Of America
is responsive 10 the call Of the Master,
the Servant Of humanity, and toilers

Christian Endeavor. Our Scriptural
reference tells US the story Of Jesus as
He went about all the cities and VII

and healing all manner Of diseases and
an manner of sickness. Here was the
Great Teacher as the lessons Of life
came from His lips; here was the Great
Preacher with the glad tidings Of Gods
love and forgiveness, with its attend
ant blessings Of the Sonship Of man
kind; here was the Great Physician
healing all their bodily ailments as lie
also healed their sin-bruses. Naturally
great multitudes followed and as Jesus
saw them lie was moved with COM
passion for them, because they were
distressed and scattered, as sheep not
having a shepherd. The picture Of His
day is paralleled by the picture of our
own times. Distress is TO be seen on all
sides and a need Of the shepherds care
IS apparent 10 ALL Leaders is the call OF
the hour. Turning therefore to His
disciples, the Master said In words
that ring In our ears as q challenge
TO the heart Of America today. "Ihe
harvest indeed is plenteous, but the la
borers are few. Pray ye therefore the
Lord Of the harvest, that lie send forth
laborers into His harvest"
As we examine this lesson more
closely, we see how Jesus was moved
with compassion on the multitude as
His great heart responded 30 their
need. Human need is the call Of to-
day, and God speaks TO US In terms Of
the worlds distress as lie called to
leaders Of old In other ways. Christ
elected 20 come Of the common peo-
pie. 10 earn his bread by the sweat OF
his brow, and by manual labor so that
between Him and the crowd was. a
wonderful bond Of sympathy. They
belonged 10 him as he belonged TO
them. As we see the great multitudes |
without the influences OF the Saviour |
surely our hearts should be touched |
with compassion for them, as we en-
deavor TO give our tlme and talents for |
their welfare.
Moreover Christ saw in The multi
tudes the harvest for which He had |
come 10 earth. out Of the great mass
Of common folks Christ chose His dis
elples and among them lie spent His |
entire ministry. In them He saw the
sheep without a shepherd. and IN the |
same crowds should be heard the call |
for help today. The great number OF |
people IN this land Of ours

men have been the subject of
very serious debate by econo-

Some day the question which

ther the pendulum Of wages may
not swing so high that ploduc-

nations will become unprofitable
and then impossible.
"Higher wages for all" is the
demand Of the organized and un

in the past has owed her pre-
eminence in the worlds industrial
markets to underpaid British la
Dor. That view was expressed
by Frank Vanderlip, New York
Banker, when he returned to A

several months abroad.

{ short Of an apology from

ther with evidence showing that
the band Of desperadoes that in
suited the American flag and held
up and robbed a number Of Amer
lean sailors has been summarily

This was said to be the atti-

officials awaited further informa-

leo.
This territory is where OAfrea-
"a is supposed to be in conpAte
control and because Of th. al-
legged control neither American
soldiers nor sailors are perHt-
ted to carry side arms. The h.
fenseless condition Of the Ameri-
can blue jackets made them easy
prey for the bandits.
Because it is admitted in Off
cial quarters that the incident
represents the most grave feature
of Mexican American relations
in the past year, the State De-
partment is hoping that the mat
ter has already been adjusted by
the American Naval officers now
in Mexican waters.
If the officers have demanded
an apology, and one has been Civ
en- by the Carranza authorities at
Tampico, the matter would large
ly be disposed Of One addition
al provision, however, would be
necessary. 1t would be the cap
ture and punishment Of the ban
dts who committed the insult and

The next step Of the Depart
ment will therefore depend on
the report Of Commander Finney,
who is in charge Of the U. S. S.
Topeka and is the ranking officer
in Tampico waters. 1t was he
who sent in the first report tell
ing of the insult and robbery that
was perpetrated on the crew of

he will, if he runs true to form
