How many men when judging them
selves in the light Of Gods truth can
feel that they are worlsmen that need

the poor man, the employer and the
employee, the preacher and the teach
err, the hodcarrier and the poet are
all on the same level when they
measure themselves as workmen that

heart is equally as great as that OF
the poor man struggling to support a
