LABOR is DIVINE;
DLENESS IS SIN
The Carpenter Of Nazareth The
Example And Hope Of
The World
LABOR DAY DISCOURSE

At St. Luke's Chapel. PASSPORT,
Sunday morning, at the service OF
Morning Prayer, the sermon was
preached by the Rev. James L. Smiley,
whose theme was appropriate to La
Dor Day, and who exemplified that
labor is divine, the Carpenter of Naz-
areth being the example and hope of
the world.
In his Labor Day discourse, Mr..
Smiley spoke in part, as follows:
MY Father worketh hitherto and
work, was the reply which the Di-
vine Carpenter gave TO His critics.
Prominently, Jesus was q working
man. In His childhood. He evidently
helped His mother in domestic duties,
led the chickens. carried water from
The village well and otherwise shared
he duties of home.
I'VE see Him also, as the painters
iepict Him, serving His apprentice
ship at the carpenters bench, and
hen succeeding Joseph in the full
responsibility of the shayings-strewn
shop Next, as the greatest of all
work. He goes out into public life to
build-not a perishable house but one
| that is eternal
This was the hardest of all kinds
Of work 1t aroused the opposition
| Of the wicked and cruel; it awakened
| the suspicion of the prejudiced; il
invited the poor and outcast, the sick
and sorrowing as His associates
Contrast with multitudes, especially
he unfortunates, is wearying, and the
Saviour had this exhausting expert
ence in abundance. Hence He knows,
in a very human way, the fatigue of
hose who honestly toll and struggle.
What message has this Gospel for
Labor Day? A very vital one: the
Kingdom of Heaven is Kingdom of
workers. Idleness is sin. Jesus show
ed in the parable of the Rich Man
and Lazarus" that the idle rich are
headed for hell. This class were His
bitterest enemies. And they crucified
Him. Come unto Me all We that la
DOR and are heavy laden, and l will
5iNS gOu lCol 1ulS rest WdS uOt
idleness but restful work. Take My
yoke upon you Such was the gra-
eious invitation of the Worker and
Lord of ALL
And so God glorifes work and
abominates idleness. When the world
learns to follow Christ, it will honor
labor and give every laborer his due.
1t will not treat laborers as hands
or pieces of machinery, but as sons
Of Cod. There are many problems
md they are made the more perplex-
ing because dragged down to the low
level OF selfishness.
ITO understand these problems we
must rise into the clear blue of hea-
ven's sunshine and recognize these
principles "a That all men are broth
ers. GU That all who work, with
hand or with brain, to produce some
thing of real social value, belong to
the working-class. 60 That idlers,
whether tramps or idle rich, have no
place in the Kingdom, until they learn
to work. Let us be merciful to these
poor degraded idlers; some of them
have been driven to 'tramping' by adj
verse circumstances, while the idle
rich have had a falseA education;
among these latter are some who will
welcome work when their eyes are
opened to its blessedness."

Topeka business men appear to be
moving in the direction of an attempt
to solve the housing problem. Any
organization that engages in the bust
ness of building houses with the idea
Of losing money is not likely 20 go far
There is no reason why investors in
si1ch an enterprise should not obtain
a-<air return on their money. There
are hundreds of persons in Topeka
ready and willing to pay full value for
property, either in purchase price or
rental All that is necessary to make
house building pay is good manage
ment, such as is given to the business
by local investment companies. No
appeal to civic pride should be neces-
sary in the matter of providing homes
for the people. It is a good business
proposition and will stand on its own
bottom.

THE MEANING OF HISTORY.

THE MEANING OF HISTORY.
I would not have my boy forget
That many men for him hare died
That to the past he owes a debt
Which never must be put aside,
That freedoms joy is his today
Because of those who marched away.
1 want my boy to understand,
The HISTORIC of our banner fair
To know the atorv Of his land.
The trials men have had to bear
To know our loved. immortal George
Suffered for him at Valley Forge
want my boy to realize
That Lincoln, calm in times Of stress
And always brave and true and wise,
Was seeking not self happiness.
But suffered much and even died
That freedom here should long abide.
I want him. when he comes to read
The tale Of Chateau Thierry grim
To know that every splendid deed
Was some ones sacrifice for him;
That he has owned a boyhood fair
Because meR dared to venture there
Soon he shall turn to history's page
To read of wars on land and sea
And learn with each succeeding age
How men have struggled to be free;
And when he comes to understand
1 know he'll love his native land

Q. Are there any wild tribes of Indians
in the United States &C. X
A. The bureau of Indian affairs says
that there are no wild tribes of Indians in
the United States at the present time. The
Indians are engaged in activities similar
to those of the white people, namely, agri-
culture, commerce, and business of all
kinds. The Seminoles of Florida do not
live on government reserva ton, and have
no regular agreement or treaty with the
government They are very peaceable
however.
Q. Is there a difference between meteors

II then becomes known as meteorite.

A table of retail prices in Topeka
would present an entirely different
showing. not, perhaps, on the articles
named above but on many items that
enter into the cost of living. For in
stance. 3 mouse that rented for $50 "A
month a year ago, now costs $45. A
year ago it cost 1914 cents to get a
shirt Numbered; today it costs. 20
cents. A year ago a breakfast of
cakes and coffee could be bought at
the restaurant for Is cents: today it
costs 20 cents at the same restaurant.
A luncheon which 1 2 months ago cost
40 cents, now costs so cents; a dinner
which could be bought for 10 cents
now is priced at 81; for what was a
dollar dinner. $3.50 is charged.
People are beginning to wonder
when these mueh-heralded price re-
auctions will extend to the consumer.
Notwithstanding the marked declines
in wholesale prices, the cost OF living
continues to advance. After all, per-
haps nothing but a super-abundance
of labor will bring a change. Tn
questionably large per cent of retail
costs goes into the pay of labor. and
labor hands it right back to the re-
taller. the landlord and others engaged
in supplying its wants.

carrying or rolling it. The enlysrule
of the game, Doctor Angel says. is the
rule of good craftsmanship, and even
this rule is not enforced. When the
game was first tried at the naval train
ing station, fist fights between some of
the foreign recruits, who had never
played a game before, frequently &C.
while the play proceeded. But after
the men had played a few times they
got the idea of craftsmanship and
stopped the fighting of their own ac-
cord.
Americans are a great people phys
ically," said Doctor Angel, "as is
shown by the fact that they have won
the Olympic games ever since they
were revived. But they don't owe
their strength and skill to the feeble
and penurious physical training they
get in the public schools. They owe
them to the natural instincts of a pio-
neer race in a new country. Just the
same as a country which has a high
standard of musical or artistic eff
ficiency will produce the genius in
music yor art. the country that has a
high physical standard will produce
the great athlete. A Champion of the
Olympic games is an artist in his par
ticular sport just as Caruso is in mu-
sic. But the conditions of our life
here, which gave the American his
strong, well-trained body. are chang
ing. Civilization is stealing our nat
means our natural skill in sports will
become lessened, unless we use our
saving instinct for play intelligently
and by giving all the children an OPP
portunity to play hard, keep up the
physical standards of our race"

Production in certain industries at
last appears to be overtaking demand
at existing prices, aItho this condition
may change at any time il prices
should fall It is noted. for instance,
by the American Lumberman" that
production of hardwoods has reached
the point where it equals and posi-
bly, temporarily exceeds the demand.
The same situation is true. it says. re-
earding Douglas fir, and southern
pine Hemlock manufacturers OF the
northern states where the demand for
lumber is slack, are reported to be
diverting hemlock logs to the pulp
mills. The railroads continue to be
the most active purchasers Of lumber
and timbers, most of the purchasing
being on behalf Of the maintenance OF
way departments. An increase in the
amount Of lumber bought for new
freight cars is also noted.

Discussing the future trend of builds
ing costs a writer in the Magazine OF
Vail Street says:
My conclusions, based on my own
personal experience and the express
opinions of many of the foremost
builders in the country lead me TO be-
Heve that, unless forced down by
collapse which the financial structure
Of this country makes practically i'm
possible. building costs will not be ma
teriafly lower in the near future.
Furthermore. during the next ten
years, believe that costs will not only
remain far above pre-war levels but
may very possibly score new high
records.
