WISE indeed is that legislator who understand* that theft are two extremes to be avoided in dealing with the problems of th* i working man. The one extreme is Jthat lieartless, cruel exploitation of "labor which grinds men to powder, which deals with individuals as chattel. The other extreme is to provide such an amount of free time for the individual that both his personal life and economic prosperity are in danger. Work is good.. It is well to keep in mind that before the fall man was commanded to tend the garden. Perhaps to some of us that command is not a command to work, because the evidences of sin in a cursed creation were not present! Life without purpose, life without activity for good, would be vain and actually intolerable. I. An Illustration of Prudence and a Warning Against Indolence (Prov. 6:6-11; 18:9). THE illustration from the creature world is apt. Ants, as this scripture states, have no overseer, ami yet they are diligent in providit® for the time of need. It would seem as though they are constantly active in caring for present and future needs. In Palestine, where they may be active throughout the year, there is still the need of stored provisions for the rainy season, and so it is true that the ant gathers food in the harvest for future need. Anyone who is tempted to be indolent would be wise to consider the ways of the ant, and to manifest as much concern for present and future needs. The sluggard is described as one asleep, as one tvho is never satisfied, but constantly wants more timber. Such folding of the hands, such indolence, brings poverty, and that poverty comes as a robber. Indolence is not mere passivity. The man who fails to work is not guilty of omitting to do what he should do, but he is actually a robber of society. There is an active element Involved in indolence; not only has the man failed to contribute, but, in addition, the good that he might have done has remained undone. The sluggard is therefore a brother to the destroyer (Prov. 18:9). 11. An Illustration of Indolence and a Lesson in Prudence (Prov. 24:3032). IT IS striking that the Word of God ■* presents the ant as the illustration of prudence, but%hen it comes to an illustration of ipdolence it directs our attention to man. The illustration is that of the man who is lazy, who is void of understanding. The Preacher visits him. Going to his field and vineyard, he finds it grown over with thorns, covered with vetches, and the stone wall broken down. Instead of citing the particular lessons learned, the Preacher, simply observes that he looked oS. thought deeply, and received instruction. Perhaps the best antidote to laziness is to see it in its inaction. The squalid conditions, the inability to cope with emergencies that we normally see in the life of the man who wants only ease are sufficient to warn most of us against it. W Entirely apart from the dignity of labor, the homely recompense of being able to meet our own needs is the compensation of selfrCspect that initiative and resourcefulness bring. May we have i a higher goal as we labor than merely proviefng for our own needs, though this is certainly important. Beyond it, of course, is «ihe ability to help others also (of. ' |jph. 4:28). 111. A God-Given Reward for Labor (Eccles. 5:12). ONE of the great compensations of faithful labor is sleep. This passage speaks of the sleep of the laboring man as sweet. When as Christians we have fulfilled our duty, when we have given an honest day’s work, the recompense ol the Lord is surcease from labor. The great stress of the Word of God is similarly on the man in authority doing that is right for those who labor under him, and on the laborer, to be worthy of his hire. Thus does the Bible ■ guarantee a cordial and happy relationship between employer and employee. When either party departs from biblical standards, chaos results. Here is a plan as up-to-date as th* present hour, as workable as th* most precise mechanical devic ever made. All that is necessary is that'the Word of God be fallowed Released W Wastes; Newspaper Uatea.

i Coal Car Shortage liTermed Critical e 3 Possible Shorta|k t Os Coal W Feared t “ ChicagqgsjAug. 29— (UP) —William T. Faricy, president of the . American Association of Rail- , roads, said today tjiat the nation faces a possible coal shortage despite the fact ijjpt railrfSFlls are carrying more «sal with fewer ears than ever before. Faricjfy paid huge coal exports to Europe and other sections of the world were largely responsible for the car shortage, but that the railroads realized the necessity for maintaining a high rate of export at this time. He said the railroads faced q shortage of nearly every type of car but that the coal car situation the most critical. "The petroleum tank car situation is a little easier,” he said. "It might be that fears on petroleum have been a little exaggerated. At any rate, we are not having the number of complaints about tank cars as box or coal cars.” He said despite farmers’ complaints that grain had been piling up at midwestern shipping points, the railroads had moved "a great deal” more grain this year than ever before in history —and with fewer cars. “The fact that grain has been left on the ground doesn’t mean it is rotting,” he said. “That's been a common incident for many years.” The coal situation will become tighter until more ears are made available, Faricy said. He? said the present rate of delivery on 38,000 cars which have been ordered is ’’extremely unsatisb factory.” Only 5,800 coal-carrying cars were delivered last month, he said, while 4,000 old ones were junked. The railroads need a total of 10,000 a month in order to attain the desired shipping quota, he said. — 9 Decatur Youth Is Reported Missing Police today were asked to aid in the search tor a Decatur boy, reported missing from his home on North Fourth street, police chief Ed Miller said today.

Inc., recommenced yesterday that annual dues for the 84,000 members be doubled, from $5 io $lO. The increase will be effective Jan. 1, 1949, if two-thirde of the 92 ;Hopsier counties ratify the proposal, president Haesil E. Schenck said. Schenck said that the board of directors had been considering an increase for the past five yeare. He added that Ohio is the only Red flannel does NOT keep the wearer warmer than white flannel. —O— The fallacy doubtless arose from the fact that red and heat are popularly associated, and white and cold. Os course, white is worn in suuuper and in hot climates becau*? 1 white reflects heat and light rays better than other clothing. In the case of underclothing, this effect is, of course, impossible.
