the Citizens Hose Company of Smyr-
na, will hold their annual Firemen's
Supper in the Twentieth Century CLUB
House, West Commerce Street. In
order that the Firemen's supper may

The interest of the church in the cause
Of organized labor has In recent years greatly
increased, and today from pulpits through the
land there Is being read to thousands Of con-
gregationS an official Labor Sunday message
prepared by the Commission on the Church
and Social Service Of the Federal Council Of
Churches of Christ in America.
For two decades" this message says, "the
churches of this country have been urging
their members engaged in industry, employ
ers and employees alike. to apply the spirit
and principles Of Christ in business relation
ships. They have not only emphasized the
need Of cooperative effort, the sacredness of
human life, the power Of unselhsh action, the
social stewardship Of property and the SUBJ
ordination Of the profit motive to the spirit
of service, but time and again the churches
have called attention to specific evils which
are. sacrificing human life. They
have persistently taught labor's right to or
ganization and the social Importance of such
organization in order to secure to labor a
proper influence not only in industry but in
national life.
"Now the time has come for insistence upon
practice and actual experimentation in BROTH
erly relations in business establishments Dis
cipleship to Christ in business must take this
form. A new evangelism must come into
being, an evangelism which impels men hold
ing positions of influence or possessing great
economic power to devote themselves and their
resources to human welfare, as a part of the
Christian program.
I'm this Labor Sunday message we there
fore turn from announcements to suggestions
for action, to the end that Christian people
shall be challenged to specific and practical
undertakings"
Into the shoes of Gompers stepped William
Green, who since his accession to the supreme
command, has been reelected president of the
Federation with the same regularity which
marked the regime Of his predecessor, the
cigar-maker of alien birth who became the
dominant mind Of American labor.

the calm exterior Of Frederick Blank where
Merely Allen was concerned was not suspected
by him and probably not by herself.
The years had been so full; both their lives
had been directed toward achievement, and
now that achievement was theirs, life was
fuller than ever
They were buoyant friends reacting upon
one another in the delightful manner of inspir-
ing gayety, confidence, camaraderie.

of romance, incurably sentimental and adoring

There was q man named Merely Allen, who
also liked the quiet Of these rooms. He was
about 40 and had known Frederick, the young
social worker, while he was student at law
school. Their friendship had held with the
years. Every Saturday night, Merely Allen,
who had reached fine maturity and fulfillment
in his law practice, dined with Frederick in
the placidity Of her suite. They were close

ingman IN all the world
ton Of Labor was organized, 1t began an
agitation for remedial legislation which it has
carried on to this day. with some notable
accomplishments
The first platform declared for compulsory
education and the prevention of children I'M

in gainful employment; for a national eight
hour law, governing employment Of Federal
employees; for exclusion of Chinese coolie la
borers; for the abolition Of the competition
Of prison-made goods with the product of free
labor; for mechanics lien laws; for repeal
of conspiracy laws as applied to organizations
Of labor for the regulation Of wages and the
number Of hours to constitute a days work;
for laws prohibiting importation of alien Ia
borers under contract.
Throughout the United States. the various
constituent unions Of the Federation carried
through campaigns to achieve these reforms
and gradually such laws were enacted in all
States. There were also obtained State laws
for the protection of the health, safety and
comfort Of workers in industry. compensation
acts to protect the victims Of accidents in
industry, laws providing vocational education,
factory inspection and mothers pensions, and
such other legislation as would protect the
interests of those who toll and open to them

And they liked him and thought him worthy
Of her-no small tribute from this little CONF
munity which so adored its leader.
THERE came time, when Fredericka was
approaching her thirty ninth year, that she
did finally begin to ask herself questions con-
corning Merely Allen. He was so firmly in
trenched as her friend. He was so closely q
part of the warp and woof of her life. Day by
day, week by week, month by month, year by
year. Frederick saw the lives of the young
women around her finding their adjustments
and their happiness. Why not hers?
The time had come now that Fredericka's
strong dark hair was showing gray at the
temples, when there seemed something little
bleak about her suite of rooms, after she had
closed the door and retired to its loneliness
For the first time in all the years Frederick
now began to feel an exultant sort of aware
ness in the presence Of Morely Allen. VistaS
of life with him: life sweet with companion
ship and productiyeness began to stretch before
her.
Then little Neddie, red-haired, wide-eyed.
crammedi with vitality and loyalty to this
mistress, began to notice, as she lay on her
cot at the foot of Miss Frederickas bed adoring
0er, LEaC neT IDOL was nOC sleeping WE'LL
Something of an old tranquility hacAowed
out of Fredercka. There developed in her
new nervousness The quick ecstatic reaction
of o woman in love to telephone call; the
nervous expectancy of girl awaiting suitor
Emotionally, the large, beautiful placid Fred
ericka Blank was coming into her own.
It was one night at dinner, in her suite
with Merely Allen, that silent and terrible
crisis was to come into her life. She took 1t
with a fortitude, with a rectitude, with mag
nitude, that would have astounded had there,
been any one to know. Out OF the clear sky
of the pacidity of their relations Morely Allen
confided in her the astonishing fact that he
was in love with the little gamin, Neddie. and
was going to undertake the enormous gamble
of marrying her.
IF ever woman was called upon to prove
the endurance and the fortitude of a super.
woman, that woman was Fredericka Blank.
She took her blow standing up. She lis
tened to Merely Allen. She accepted his conf
dences and she gave him her advice in its
best and noblest essence.
She not only advised him to marry Neddie.
she reiterated time and time again her trust
in the possibilities OF this lovely child.
The man who left her that night, who kissed
her hands gratefully, who loved her in his
friendship more deeply than ever before, went
out moved to the core by the quality of friend
ship that she gave him.
1t was after he had gone and she had closed
the door upon her loneliness once more that
the small and exalted Neddie crept up to her,
hungry for advice and for guidance and for
wisdom in the strange and overwhelming hap
piness that had come to her with the love of
man like Merely Allen.
Again on her cot at the foot of Fredericka's
bed that night, as the child Nedde, tossed in
her happiness, she noticed. with some distress,
that Frederick was sleeDinp moro noorlv than
ever.
