"HOW WILL TODAY,S WORK APPEAR TOMORROW

The word work has many phases of life embedded;
hence we will conine ourselves to the phase which
lis labor
Labor in the true sense of the word gives to know
Life as it after shall have mered it by persistent
effort.
We can't by any means speak of todays work unless
first give the workers Of yesterdays considerations AS
far back human knowledge can reach we find workers
CT yesterday busy in every field of labor Speaking of
science early 1000 B. c. note the workers of Egypt
and Babylon the field of oratoy the immortal Socrates
Plato and Cato in the of poetry, Homer; in the
artistic beauty of painting notice Raefeld Just to gaze
back the past and what workmen did yesterday
and how appears today rather remarkable Since
had to get pattern from men who worked yesterday
surely we must praise their work and reverence it.
If had power in my hand to get the revolving
planes of time and go running back through history to
turn its pages that might behold It's glory and
beauty, view France with more war-ilke people as
the time of Napoleon when he spoke on Waterloo bridge
and fought beneath pillars hence for himself
name l would give Germany its Kaiser, and England
its Kings and Greece its beauty of intellect and help re-
joce with them in their different statues and monuments
of yesterdays labor.
MAY draw on my imagination to tell you how today S
work will appear tomorrow. One Philosopher says the
way he thinks speaks today gives the public his posi-
ton in life tomorrow Todays work must take wings as
did the Angel of Life when he brought the message to
the world Il he who in the beginning with him.
Who pictures work in its truest of the word must
work the work of him that sent me while 1t IS day for
when night comes work; then do | get my
praise today or tomorrow Ny work shall be framed and
posted where the coming generations can see its beauty
and thereby prosper.
| see workers of today going about their duty per
forming to the best of their ability Look If you please
at the many crowded school rooms where men and women
are giving their very life to help shape the destiny of
the youth of today.
How beautiful is it to keep with time and hope
for brighter future Looking through microscope
Judge todays work will appear brilliant than the
MONDAY When writer's of history stop comparing
todav's work with yesterday, and the optimistic shall
cease looking through this depressable age or tell US
about our sudden changes the condition of things
Tomorrows success depends very largely upon todays
work whether is good bad. Surely it will appear
that way tomorrow should strive to make his her
work shine if beacon light
We all started the bottom of the ladder of success
round by reach the top perchance error the
goal shan be reached. And yet this picture mus be IN
our forum together with other selection of good. LIN
coin said MARK me by depths from which came but
by the heights from which attain.
Even the great valve of thought rules the world to
he extent that Christ said SO as thinketh in his
heart so is he From thought all life depends may also
consider yesterday and odays labor running parallel and
tomorrow labor will mark the climax.
Now death will end today's work, then tomor-
row will begin After we shall have passed the
ouiyering bar of the Golden Sunset.
