The world is short of food, and millions will starve; it- ls short of fuel, and millions will freeze; ft 1B short of many products, and the shortage forces prices to over high er figures. The, world is short on work, and millions are idle when every Idle hour increases starvation, increase? the number who will freeze to death, will add to the cost of living and en danger all governments and all civilization. Willing Idleness to-day, by rich or poor, ls criminal. Workers are needed as never be fore, and the work shirker is a slack er, a criminal, a co-operator with tho forces of starvation and freezing. Every man who fails to work to his utmost in this crucial hour of world agony and threatened revolu tion is helping thereby to starve and freeze millions of helpless, women and children, helping by his inaction when action is needed to prevent chaos from engulfing the world. Before the Judgment seat of a Just God every soul shall some day stand, and the light of eternity shall illumina'te tho record of everyone. On that day shall tho women and babies who died for lack of food and fuel point an accusing Anger at you and say, "Had you worked and in spired others to work, wo would not have died in hunger and cold?" How will you answer them, coal miner, food producer, merchant, manufacturer, teacher, preacher, day laborer, clerk or banker? Are you doing your utmost to relieve the world tay work, work of brain and brawn, work to which you can look back with satisfaction on that great final day when some shall hear, "Well done, good nnd faithful ser vant," and others shall hear the just condemnation of a just and righteous God? Work, and moro work, work to the last ounce of strength and to tho highest degree of efficiency; work -such ns the soldier gavo on the battlefield amid the roar and crash of cannon and tho death-dealing rifle and tho hell-devised bomb; work In a spirit or sacrifice and un selfishness; work, because upon every man's work will rest in part the death or the life of some poor innocent, sufferer-this must be the inspiring thought in every man's life just now. Profits and wages aro not to-day the supremo issue. Both are im portant, vital In their way, but they sink into insignificance by the side of the mighty issue of saving the world from the forces of evil which fatten on the agonies of the starving .and freezing people.
