WISE indeed is that legislator who understands that there are two extremes to be avoided in dealing with the problems of .the working man.-. The one extreme is that heartletss, cruel exploitation oi labor whictt 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, and yet they are diligent in providing 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 i

future needs. The sluggard is described as one 'asleep, as one who is never satisfied, but constantly wants more .mhD, CiinK f,lrltv,c nf the hnd

such indolence, brings poverty.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SERVICES "Christ Jesus" is the subject of the Lesson-Sermon in all Churches of Christ, Scientist, on Sunday, August 31. The Golden Text is: "God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved" (John 3:17). Among the citations which comprise the Lesson-Sermon is the following from the Bible: "Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not oh me, bEt on him that sent me. I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness" (John 12:44, 46). "Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way ? Jesus said unto him,

l I am the way, the truth, and the

lfe: ho man cometh unto the Father.

but by me" (John 14:5, 6). . The Lesson-Sermon also includes the following passage from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy: "Implicit faith in the Teacher and all the emotional love we can bestow on him, will never alpne'make us imitators of him. We must go and do likewise, else we are not improving the great blessings which our Master worked, and suffered to bestow upon us. The divinity of the Christ was made manifest in the humanity f Jesus" (p. 25). ST. MARY CHURCH Mass Schedule August 31 Sullivan, 7:30. Dugger, 830.

snd tnat 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 elemer involved in indolence; not only has the man failed to contribute, but, in addition, the good -that he might have done has re- " niained undone. The sluggard is

therefore a brother to the destroy- . cr rrov. 18:9). II. 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 when it comes to an illustration of indolence 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 findjs 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 on, 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. ' Entirely apart from the dignity of labor, the homely recompense of being able to meet our own needs is the compensation of selfrespect that Initiative and resourcefulness bring. May we have '"a higher goal as we labor than merely providing for our own needs, though this is certainly important. Beyond it, of course, is the ability to help others also (cf. Eph. 4:28). III. 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 of the Lord is surcease from labor. The great stress of the Word of God is similarly on the man in authority doing that which 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 bappy relationship between employer and' employee; When either party de-1 part3 , from biblical ' standards, chaos results. t Here is a plan as up-to-date as the present hour, as workable as the most precise mechanical device ever made. All that is necessary is that the Word of Gcd be followed. .Released by Western Newsoaper Union.
