-MNISTRY OF THD MANUAL TOILER - W. W. Landrum in Atlanti urual. w ministers in Atlanta peradvon are accustomed to thitk of ti ( opera house as a sacred strue It was never dedicated or con ted to religious uses. Naturall, -we are prone 'to regard it-: house, chiefly devoted to thi ment of the people. It is tha omnething more--a concert hall tire platform and auditorium ce of assembly for patriotic atio.nal and religious purposes balace of the muses has bee y times transformed into forty o people intent on co-operatin; noble ends and the achievemen the .highest social and sacre< eals. When a few evening ago ev. Dr. Gunn and myself, invited t open and close the meeting with j recogrnition of God, looked out upoi a great company of railway trainmei hold an open session ill the open house. I was impressed with the es lentially religious character of al our industrial organizations. Th lines between thing- sacred anw hings secular are vanishing.

The i3rotherhood of Railway Train men, all fulsome eulogy aside, ar aln order of 4nighthood. They con stitute one division of t.wentiet-h een tury chivalry. Six hundred thousan brave men are employed in the trans ortation service of our country very year over fifty thousan.d o em are killed or wounded. at th ost of duty. There are few, if any attilefield records that equal ' thi early showing of death and disastei w pathetie is this tribute of hu life and distressing injury paii well being of their countryme these soldiers in the valiant, bu unheralded, and often, unrecognize army, of commerce. Peace hath lie victories no less renowned than wai To win them courage, decision, pat riotism, intelligence and endurance o hardships are as necessary in civi life as int the experiences of the imei in uniform who defend the fia afloat ad ashore. It. is not ill hat monly with the feelings of some o us to stppress outr admiration fo these men. Itt honoring them we ion or ourselves. Ministers of God. We need to understand int an ag wlen wealth britng's leisutre and leih tire rots in idleness that all honorabl toil m1rakes one a mlinsitert of Go( God, the Father Alnighty, is a work er. He it is who heats the ftrnae of the siun, fills the pools in the sk3 heaves the ocean, paints the sutris and the sunset, and iuke a might engineer' drives otn the planets i1 ter revolutins. God mtakes an un.mrakes gov'ermnents, sets ttp an dethrones kings, changes thte map a tihe wotrld atnd shapes tihe course5 a hunmatndestiny. '' My Fathet',' ' dleelml edi Jesus C'hrist, ' 'worket h hit herto, or' up to this very hour. Jesuts Christ was a worked. ''M Fat her worketh htithterto and I work.

As Hebrewv eve then wa sa (lead langutage, He ha to acquir'e it with the same sort a application requtired by out' boys t learn Latin and Greek in college an high school.

Let not the mnunl toiler be e .l04sive and vainly imagine himself to be the only toiler. He is not the only working man. There is a sweat i of brain as well as a sweat of brow. Kepler worked in his mathematical calculations. Shakespeare In his tra calculations, Shakespeare in his tra Franklin and Edison in their inven tions. God makes some men to paint pictures, some men to write songs and i some men to sing songs. Some men are called to use axe and hammer, plane and plow, and some men are called to coin fresh thought and give it to the world. The blacksmith or the statesman, the mill ha'nd or the millionarie may each be doing the i particular work which from all eter nity God intended them to do. Let every man do his own work. Then if done in the right spirit and with the i right aim and object in view that , man as truly as any minister of Jes >us Christ is a minister of God in t harmony with the orderly movement I of the universe. Ministers, or servants, or workers, for all these words mean the same - thing, have a message we must not forget. That message is a gospel. It 3 is nows, good news from heaven. It is practical salvation. SpIvation is I the highest word in the dictionary of 3 the human- race. I.t takes in the whole - manl, hody, mind and soul. Salvation is the ail-incelusive word, meanilg everythin g that helps man. Salvation is the all-Vxcliusive word shutting out of life everything that hinders man. - Salvation put into briefest possible compass is nothing more n-r less than - simply being a man.
