DIVINE COMMAND TO WORK

Every man is under Divine COM
mand to work, with no Divine per-
mission to loaf. "Six days shalt
thcu labor and do all thy work" is
the voice of Almighty God, and from
the day when it was uttered, all the
way through the Ola Testament
and the New, there rings the cry
of Work. ~
.Tn the sweat of:thy face shalt
thou cat bread. ~ -. :
Un@er this Divine command no
MAJ can escape his duty to. work
without violating Gods law.
The loafer, whether he be rich
or poor,'iS violating one Of, the; fun
Gamehtal laws of creation. and+is lily
ing contrary to the teachings of the
Billie.
Every man must work. not grudg-
ngiy. not as though work were a
curse. but with his heart full Of
thanksgiving that he has the privi-
lege CT. working. 1t has been well
said. "Thank God every morning
when you get up that you have
something to do that day. which
must be cone, whether you like it
on not. Being forced to work and
forced to do your best will breed in
you hundred virtues which the
idle never know" !
The idler can never be happy.
The. sloafer knows that loafing is, a
harder lob than the hardest work
he. ever did.
. As every man is under Divine
command to work, no man. has a
right TO yield' obedience to any or
gani%aton which says he shall. not
wo, K.
The man who permits the. labor
fea!or, or anyone else to say he shall
not work is yielding his own God
givei' independence and violating the
Divine. command which tells him he
