He also that is slothful in his
work Is a brother to him that is a
great waster. - Proverbs 18: 8.
For the people had a mind to
work. Nehemiah 4: 6.
In the Book Of Books--of which
1t has been we'll said that 1t Is not
only library In itself, but that 1t
is greater than all other libraries,
book which 1t took the Almighty
1000 years, speaking through forty
men. to writo----is to bo found Wis
dom, human and divine, and the
two.extracts which we have quoted
might furnish a text for many SER
mon just now. The first states the
great truth that III, man who SIS
slothful in his work Is q brother to
him that is great waster." Both
classes are condemned by the
Almighty Himself, and they should
be. condemned by every man who
recognizes that work is the divine
instrumentality for the development
OF body and mind Of the individual
and for the saving OF the world.
The second quotation relates to
a time when the people of Israel
had mind to work" In the hour
OF emergency, when their country
was at stake, they concentrated their
activities night and day upon work.
No time was to be lost in the great
effort which they were then making
TO rebuild the walls OF Jerusalem,
Through their heroic work, when all
the people Joined together and all
the people had a mind to work"
success was achieved.
Ihe people of America must have
"a mind to work" In their work
they must throw the whole energy
of their nature. The "slothful" man
and 1.-The waster" must be regarded
as slackers unworthy Of the respect
Of anyone.
Any organization which seeks to
limit the labor Of its members, any
individual who is slothful in busi-
ness, who wastes his own time or
that OF his employer, and the one
who Is waster Of the substance of
Others, or OF the country, will, unless
they change their methods, never
be classed by God or man as "peo-
pie who had a mind to work" They
are not workers; they are shirkers.
slackers, and their number grows
alarmingly great.
Men are being taught that work
is something to be stunned, when
they should be taught that it is Gods
appointed way for all mankind's ad-
vancement
God Himself works, and Through
out all Of the divine teachings Of
the Bible there is one unceasing
strain in favor Of work. The "sloth-
ful man." and the man who has not
"a mind to work." are going directly
contrary to the teachings Of the
Almighty.
| This nation needs to be taught the
dignity of work. We need to glorify
work-work on the farm and work
In the mine and work in the factory,
work In the office. work in the school
room, work in the pulpit. Men who
have derided work, or who have
sought to limit the output Of laborers
! not merely by unduly reducing the
hours ot labor. but by reducing the
amount OF work that q man may do
! iii Il given time, are flying directly Ia
the ;acr OF the teachings or The Bible.
! WOit Is q blessing not curGa.

BESSEMER NEWS

Bessemer, December 25.-(Special)- Christmas day was observed quietly in Bessemer, and except for the report of an occa sional "thunderbolt" or the blast of Christmas horn, blown by some happy kiddie. the observance sf the day was rather similar to that of the week ly Sabbath. Bessemer has possibly never observed more prosperous or happier Christmas in it's history, and certainly a more orderly celebration of the day has never been conducted.
 The day was featured principally by the exchange of presents between rela- tives and friends, and the large number of family gatherings and dinner parties. Many ex-service men, who were away from their families last Christmas, were able to be with them today, making many family circles complete that were broken at the last celebration of the day.
 The police department reports the few est number of arrests ever made at this season, and none for drunkenness or dis ifs of the local obice state that no drinking has been indulged in, and no disorders of any kind have occurred in the district.
 All business was suspended for the day, the shops and offices being closed, but heavy mail deliveries were made.
 With the close of the holiday season Bessemer will begin the new year with the brightest prospects of & year of unequaled progress in all lines of busi- ness ard industry.
