How to Work
How wonderfully wise God is in
assigning to every man his work!
When Moses was executing His di-
rections for the building of the taber-
nacle he divided out the work-some
men to work in brass, some in gold
some in iron, some in wood, work for
the women, too, embroidery and all
kinds of delicate work. And Peter
tells us that God shall judge every
man according as his work shall be.
He does not expect me to do what
you can Do or you to do my wor K.
slothfully, as Paul wrote the Ro-
mans, but fervently, and as unto God.
Work involves rest. There are six
days we shall labor and do all our
work. Even God, who works cease
|. essly for our good, rested from His
creative work ON the seventh day,
and blessed it. Aside from the spir-
itual side, the very demands Of our
physical lives require one days rest
in seven from our work.
Work Is a necessary part, there
fore, Of a Christians life. The idle
Christian Is not an ideal Christian; In
fact, the idle Christian Is an anomaly
Jesus worked as a boy and young
man with His hands. He was a car
penter and worked hard and we'll, we
know. AS a public teacher He work
! ed harder and longer hours than ever
He had done as a carpenter. AS the
| Redeemer He worked increasingly as
| His Father works. Paul worked as
tent-rnaker and as q preacher, He
| says, II labored more abundantly
than they all'' Il Cor. 1910. He Ia
bored "day and night q Thess., 2:9)
that he might be able to preach the
gospel without being an expense to
any one.
But the blessed thing about it is
that we can be always Astounding
in the work of the Lord for as much
as we know ths: our labor is not in
vain in the Lord" Il Cor. 1853.
There is a meat that endureth. We
may labor and it be not in vain, build
and inhabit, plant and eat-if we are
the seed Of the blessed of the Lord.
What are you working for? The
answer to that question will deter
mine whether or not your work shall
be in vain.
The work of God is to believe on
Him that sent Jesus, and on Him
who was sent. Ono. 6:28-29). If
you work the work of God all your
other work will be blessed.

TQ SPY SYSTEM
IN STILL INDUSTRY

| CHICAGO.-Alva W. Taylor. of the
iinterchurch commission which inves-

industry and published a report con-
demning the spy system among Ia
borers fostered by the steel manufac-
turers. analyses the 40,00O-word re-
ply Of the steel makers in the cur
rent issue of the Christian Century
magazine.
| The report of the steel magnates,
he says, is not an answer to the
charges brought by the interchurch
commission. but a heated and irrele-
want diatrlbe against the personnel
of the commission.

Meanwhile. Judge Gary has an

The original charges of the inter-

There are employed in the steel

work and who arc all the time gath

There are unsatisfactory labor COG

One of the points raised in the
report Of the steel manufacturers
was that the investigators Of the in
terchurch commission knew nothing
about. the steel industry and that
therefore their testimony, is value
less: To this Taylor replies:
This commission makes no pre-

and they certainly found that steel
makers make no pretense of practic-
ing humanity or Christianity, when
they work men on twelve hours per
day and seven days per week; and
little understanding of Christian So

make steel before hot furnaces and
roaring rollers they deny both the
right to organize and to elect demo-
cratically their own representatives

DRAFT DESERTERS'
LIST To De GIVEN
OUT At NJ PETERSON
The Atlanta Journal News Bureau,
623 Riggs Building.
HY THEODORE TILLER


WASHINGTON, April 12.-The
list of draft deserters in Georgia is
to be issued from the army corps
headquarters at Fort Mcpherson in
stead of from the office Of the adju-
tan general of the army in Washing
ton. This is announced by the war
department as a more economical
plan, and arrangements are being
made to supply local newspapers
with the list of names in their par
ticuIar localities.
Originally, the war department
said it would give out the draft de-
serter list here, and 1t would not be
made public along state or sectional
lines In other words, the depart
ment planned to make public sever
al hundred names each day, these
names representing draft deserters
in various sections of the country.
This process would have required
several months TO make public the
entire lot of names, and such names
would have been printed plecemeal,
state by state. over the entire period.
The department now decides to dis
tribute the list through the corps
commanders under the following ar
rangement ordered in the modified
announcement:
1.-The war department authorizes
publication of the following:
"It has been decided that it will
be far more economical to have the
forthcoming list of draft deserters
issued from the headquarters of the
several corps areas instead OF by the
adjutant general.
"In order to simplify the distribu
ton of copies Of this list to the
press, the Associated Press, the Unit
ed Press association, the Information
al News Service, other press assoc
Citations and other papers not con-
nected with the above press associa-
lions, should furnish to the adjutant
general of the army, Washington, D.
c., without delay, lists Of the mem
bers of their respective associations
or Independent papers, classified &C
cording to states.
These will be transmitted to the
corps area commanders concerned,
who will distribute to each newSpa-
the state in which it is published.
Newspapers published near a state
boundary with extensive circulation
entitled to receive copies of the lists
for these states, if they desire them,
and will so inform the adjutant gen.
eral of the army, Washington, D. G.
No newspa per, however, will be fur
nished with more than one copy Of
any part of the list"
