A|len Divided Into the Classes of y^<ers and Shirkers.' (By the Teacher.) friends: , J is a lesson in the "value, necessity a importance of "work tU^t we have, fSunday. We shall learn that Jesus . ked and that Paul worked and we ill learn that work In some form is solutely essential and necessary, to eace in this world arid joy iri the next. The Scripture lesson for Sunday is aken from the Gospels according to St. Mark and St. John, and from Paul's second letter to the Thessalonians. j Nearly all Bible writers dwell at length on the matter of work in some form or another. Our lesson in Mark which we study for Sunday is dated, in the winter of A. D. 29, the third year of Christ's ministry at Nazhreth. The lesson in John is dated ip the spring of A. D. 28, the second year of Christ's ministry at Jerusalem.* Paul's second letter to the Thessalonians was writte nfrom Corinth, A. D., 51 or 52. The Scripture Lesson. Here is the Scripture lesson as found in Mark 0:1-13; John .5:17"; 2 Thess. 3:0-13. '. . . Jfark 6:1. And he ^vent out from thence: and he cometh into his own country; and his- disciples follow him. f 2. And when the Sabbath_wa3^ome, he began' to1 teach im-tbe s'yriagTJguer and many hearing him were jastonished. saying. Whence haux Ihis manthese things? and, "Vyhaj is the wisdom that is given unto this, man, and what mean such mighty "woi-ks wrought by his hahds, vV-- uv>" '' ' 3'. Is not this the carpenter, tllfe son of Maiy, and brother of'J,ameS, and Joses andvJudas and'^Simoh? arid-are not his sisters here with i&?.; And they were offended in him. John 5:17. But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh' even until now, and I work. 2 Thess. 3:6. Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not alter tne traauion which they received us. 7. For yourselves know h$w ye ought to imitate us: for we behave not ourselves disorderly anjjoiig you;'?* 8. Neither did we eaj; *rbj&ead lor nought at any man's hand,-but'in labor and travail, working night and day, that we might-not burden any of you. y. Not because we have not the right, but to make ourselves an example unto you, that- ye should imitate us, 10. For even when \vc were with you, this we commanded you. If any will not work, neither let him.,eat. ' 11. For we hear of4 some: that walk among you disorderly, that work not at all, but are busybodies. ( 12. Now them that are sUch we command and exhort in the Lord Jesus Christ, that with qujgtnes$r they work, and eat their own bread. 13. But ye, brethren, be not weary in'well-doing. ; Powerful Argument. What a powerful argument and a striking lecture on the value of work are these quotations from three books of the Now Testament, my friends. In the text it is shown clearly that Christ during his whole life upon earth, was a worker, an indefatigable worker. As a boy he worked in the carpenter shop of his fattier, Joseph. Jesus is said to have been especially skillful in making wooden yokes; (see Matt. 11. oa ?>ru nml tncfin Martvr tells US that in his time (the middle of the second century), rakes, harrows and other articles were preserved which were said to have been made by Jesus. God a Worker. It is pointed out in the lesson for Sunday that God is a worker and it is so. Frgm the first day of creation up to the present God has been a worker and will be until the end. of the world. He is forever working guiding the lives of all the billions of human beings so far as they will allow themselves to be guided and endlessly "planning and laboring for the salvation and. betterment of man. Paul Was a Worker. Saint Paul, the' Apostl^, was one of " the greatest workers who ever lived. A tent maker by trade, St. Paul after traveling .around preaching all day would sit long into the night sewing the harsh goat-hair cloth of which tents were made. And it is said that tlie craft of tent-making was poorly paid, although Paul made a sufficiency from his manual labor to preserve his independence and his self-respect, however. Workers or Shirkers. Every one of us on earth, my friends, belongs to one of two classes of people ?workers or shirkers. There is no getting around that fact. To which class &) you belong? No matter what your occupation or station in life, it is your c'uty as a Christian and. as a man to engage in some useful work in accordance. with your ability. You rememler the parable of the talents? and low among the three servants then-were two workers and one shirker. Y'U have noticed this, just looking at t from a practical standpoint: The shiker never gets anywhere. He neveramounts to anything at all. lie has tte respect of nobody?not even of oher shirkers, it pays from every itandpoint to be a worker?an honest worker. What They Say. Theodore Roosevelt: "A healthy state can exist only when the men and women who make it up lead clean, vigorous, healthy lives; when the children are so trained that they shall endeavor. not to shirk difficulties; but to overcome them; not to seek ease but to know how to wrest triumph from toil and risk." Prof. Richard C. Cabot, M. IJ.: "The! true worker loves his task and. is eager for it. No man who loves work sees it without its halo, and because that halo really has no end/the love of work may at any moment take on a religious! tinge. But whether or not we see this divinity in "work, it is -there.',' Sa,muel Smiles: '"those who look into practical life will find that fortune is usually , on the side of the industrious, as tlie winds and waves are on I the side of "tlie best navigators." Orison S\vett Marden: ""Washing,ton Gladden investigated the history of eighty-eight of Springfield's (Mass.) leading men. Of-these, drily five were not, In early life, trained to regular work., All'lmt three or four of these successful men were hard-working boys." William Matthews:' "ah success i:> bought by hard, work! Edison is a prodigious worker, who affirms that for twenty-one years he worked nineteen hours a day, so that at forty-seven he Our 4 4 * CALHOUN, D] York, S. The New lee Cr Chapi was really eighty-two years old. Gladstone at eighty-four' sometimes read iind studied ten hours a day. When i Macauley was working at his history lie sometimes sat at his desk twelve hours on a stretch. Sir Walter Scott rose to work at 10 o'clock in the mornlng." You see, my friends, how important work is. ? In northern Siberia most of the food sold. In shops is. frozen. Meat Is hacked with. axes and milk if. sold in long sticks.

While motion picture cameras clicked on the deck of a tug in the East river Sunday, Daniel Garono, twentyseven, of Mount Vernon, New York puffing a cigarette, leaped from the center of Brooklyn bridge and was picked up in the water 133 feet below alive and linltarmcd.
