What Work Has Done for the Human Race.

The human race has been saved by having to work. It digged its way out of its primeval pit by work. When it discovered its nakedness and had to be clothed it worked for Its raiment; when it appreciated the responsibilities of fatherhood to be the feeding and rearing of the young it worked undey thu impulse of an affection that wasix-llned above the instincts of tho brute. The relation of husband and wife was made possible and propor only by the willingness to work that it might gather to it the necessaries of existence and finally be adorned by the promptings of intellectual as well os physical wants. If Mother Eve is responsible for all we lift our bat to her and offer the sincerest respect to her great memory. She did more for mankind than Adam and all of his male descendants.—San b'rancuco Allot . abrt
