AN INTERESTING DISCCURSE BY THE !
REV. DR. H. C. SWENTZEL. 1
. '
^ Subject: The Divine Carpenter?Christ Be- (
longed to the Grand Army of Self-Re^
k upecting YYorkingmen?Hi? Lite Condemns
the Sinfulness of Idleness. <
Brooklyn, N. Y.?An interesting and 1
forceful sermon was preached Sunday 1
morning by Rev. Dr. Henry C. Swentzel, '
BB rector of St. Luke's Church, Clinton ave | :
nue, near Fulton street. The subject was j'
r > "The Divine Carpenter," and the text St. J
Mark vi:3: "Is not this the carpenter?" P
Dr. Swentzel said: '
The glorious Son of Man was a mechanic. '
It is well worth while to considei* those
^ eighteen years which He spent at Nazar- <
etn, concerning which we would dearly 1
love to know so much, hut of which it is
possible to learn so little. Whether He
were rich or poor, whether He devoted i
Himself exclusively to the exercises of re- :
ligkm or was occupied with other concerns '
as well; whether He were, so to say. a J
man among men, or lived a strange weird 1
life as a recluse in the wilderness?these !
ane queries upon which we may reflect '
? ? with profit.
During'the period which began when the
, , Christ Child went down from among the
doctors in the temple to the Galilean home \
to prepare for His public life there is only
one bit of definite information concerning
, Kim, and that is furnished almost acci- ,
^ dentally in the text.
The people who had known Him all ;
| A along were astonished when they heard |
His sayings and saw His mighty works.
[ The record which He made among them in !
| bygone years was worthy of Him and
^ ought to have prepared them to expect ]
pb large things of Him sooner or later, but !
f they could not forget that He had lived '
among them as a common artisan. When '
v -I M iL- f- ?- _ T7.. '
[ We returns to tnem wun au ice mmc jlh.had
won and was about to spend a brief
; season with them in order that His former
friends and neighbors might not be negI
1 lected in His ministry, they recall His an*
tecedents, and they ask with mingled won- j
I der and scorn, "Is not this the carpenter?" J
ft The question establishes the fact that ,
Jesas had been known as a village carpen- ,
ter. From the days of youth until He set '
[ out to do the stupendous work for which 1
I** * He was sent, He accepted the trade of His ,
I reputed father and was occupied largely .
I with. its ordinary employment. He bet
longed to the "working classes." A de- ;
ttk scendant of the royal David He most sure- ?
* ly was, and yet He thought not of the j
f throne of His renowned ancestor. He was .
I indeed a king, but not after the world's (
I fashion, for He came to be King of men, (
f to rule the heart and conscience of man- ]
ft kind. He seems to have had no ambition (
r to attain unto a lofty station, and the par
* ^ aphernalia of earthly greatness had no '
, cnarms for Him. His masterful purpose '
was to save the world, both the classes and <
the masses, and He would, tlArefore, iden- (
tify Himself personally and actively with
the multitudes and not only with a Drivil- !
? e^ed few. He could teach princely "nrtues (
> without being a prince, ana He would ben- ,
I efit the hosts of mankind by allying Him- ,
self with the conditions and experiences of
the many. He understood full well that
no political contrivances could bring the
kingdom of God to this earth, and He con- j
sidered that the needs of the millions could
be served in no other way than by the <
moral and spiritual democracy which it
was His mission to establish. ,
Our Lord was a workingman. It must '
not, therefore, be supposed that He held a \
brief or thundered a null of excommunica- ,
tion against riches. He had something to
say against mammon worship, and He ,
warned against the temptations of opu- ,
lence, but He never branded wealth as es- ]
sentially evil. He taught emphatically that
' v1 the responsibility of people is in exact pro- ^
portion to what they have, ana tnat, mas- (
(much as money entails numerous obliga- .
tions, they who have it can be saved only <
through the most devoted regard for their j
duties. Some of His disciples were well-to- j
do, and both the midnight inquirer and the J
good man of Arimathea were dear to Him.
"The common people heard Him gladiv," .
bht others were not excluded from llis i
blessing simply because they had posses- J
[ sionsi. The gifts of the Magi at the begin'
ning of His career and the rich man's tomb '
^ wherein His mangled corpse reposed at the .
last, indicate that His mission included '
~ both the many and the few. He advocated j
fnone 01 the insane social or political here- ,
sies which some believe in now, but, tak- 1
ing full account of human inequalities. He .
taught the world to do its best, to live ,
-* > manfully amid the strains and stress of ,
life, to use the present situation with all !
its ills for the glory of God and the wellbeing
of the human family. No Croesus '
coula have been the Son of Man. The real '
Son of Man must be typical and represen- j
t tative in every noble way. He must be the ,
? brother of the toiling millions who earn 1
their bread in the sweat of their face, ancl
who deal every day with the urgent prob4
lem,of livelihood. - '
And yet Jesus did not accept the state \
| of squalid poverty. He was no pauper. (
The purpose of infinite love which brought
[ t Him hither could not prompt Him to ac- ;
, eept the state of such a forlorn character, i
* It would be impossible for any individual who
was poor through his own guilt to be ;
other than an incongruous and repulsive !

manhood. Pauperism is an evil in every <
sense; and while society is bound to heip '
it, it is too degrading and polluting to ]
f ^ merit encouragement, and an enlightened
state will wisely make laws by which, if j
possible, to crush it. Guilty poverty should
be rebuked and shamed. The Son of Man ,
could choose it not, for then He would
have disgraced "Himself and presented an (
f inferior ideal for His followers. Never by j
allowing Himself to be a burden to others ,
f or by becoming an object of public charity, j
could He have spoken to men and elevated J
| their standards and raised the tone of cheir
I thought. Neither a high, social degree nor ;
[ a discreditable beggary would have been in '
' harmony with Himself or the interests ,
f which He had in view; for in either case
F He would not have been in a position front ,
* * which He could touch the minas and hearts
if and lives of the nations. The Son of Man
| must be where He can speak to all with (
" equal advantage, where He can reach their
affections ana wield His blessed power ]
t ' over the sphere of their practical questions ('
J t and activities. He could not have been one .
l who was arrayed in purple and fine linen ,
i- and fared sumptuously every day, neither ,
m could He have adopted the portion of a j
* squalid and sclf-inflicted poverty. He would (
, . not be either rich or sinfully poor, but an- ,
: + s honest, industrious, royal workingraan. :
. "is not this the carpenter ?" fit. this envious
and half reproachful question of His J
' acquaintances is a happy revelation of the
ideal of the Sou of Man for all the world.
, It was in Joseph's shop that He spent all ,

^ at the bench and with the tools of a mechanic
that He chose to live in order that
His example might speak lessons of troth
and inspiration to all human souls. The <
Scriptures lay stress upon His humble cir- '
f cumstances, but they do not place Him ou
? a par with the thriftless sluggard wlto deserves
to feel the pinch of want. No effort
of ours can fathom the depths of His
humiliation who, being the Son of God, bei
came the Son of Mary and a carpenter:
^ who, though He was rich yet for our sake*
I He became poor, that we through His puvi
erty might De rich, but He knew no indigence.
We see this divine Being in Naza\
reth on a self-supporting basis, making a
living by mending plows and yokes, repairing
houses and doing all the jobs which
fall to a village carpenter; we see Him
working with His hands for bread and
learning ly day that way of labor which !
^ must be trodden by all bread-winners. He

belonged to the grand army of self-respect*
ing workingmen. Not from a palace nor I
yet from a hovel, but from the workshop
si an artisan does Jesus of Nazareth make
common cause with all the people of the
passing generations.
How surely our Lord condemns the sinfulness
of indolence, and how sublimely
loes His example urge the employment of
Jur energias. He might have maintained
Himself without work, but to have done so
would have been to set the seal of His
sanction upon the very spirit that prompts
the average individual to get through tnis
world with as little effort as possible?the
spirit that is plainly fhe spirit or the devil,
ind that is the prolific cause of crime and
woe. He who fed the crowds from a few

daily miracle for Himself, but never once
was His omnipotence exerted in His own
behalf. He accepted the very situation
which confronts us. Engaged with the occupations
of His trade during so many
years. He exalts industry into a divine
virtue and brands sloth as a deadly sin.
He has no favor for an ambition that longs
for absolute ease. It may not be necessary
for any one to be occupied with the burdens
of business, but we are all bound to
keep in personal touch with the life of humanity.
There are other spheres of usefulness
than the tiekl and the shop, the
affice or the counting room. The church
asks for thousands who arc willing to follow
the example of splendid heroes who |
have withdrawn from the haunts of trade
and from the hope of gain in order to devote
themselves exclusively to the ministry
">f Christian laymen. Everywhere are charities
calling loudly for encouragement and
*ervice. Politics presents a wide range for
the activities of patriotism and of the very
highest religion. There is something for
everybody to do, and no one is justified in
living for himself in a sequestered and at
tractive nook away from the demands that
sound from every quarter. Each individual
should have some occupation, a place
in the world's vast factories, a work of
some sort which shall tell for the happiness
of others.
The Lord has a strorg word for labor.
He is the fellow and the champion of all
toilers. He has a meaning for all those
who work with their brain or with their
hands, for all such are workingmen. He
has forever consecrated the everydaynes6
of life. He adopts the workaday world.
"The Light of Asia," which states beautifully
certain features of the Buddhist religion,
represents the incarnate Buddha as a
wandering beggar, asking food. Jesus
Christ was no beggar. The mendicant, any
more than the pauper, receives not the approval
of His own practice, by which He j
sanctified labor until the end of the world, i
The Gallilean Carpenter was no less the '
incarnate Son of God during the years ;
which He spent at Nazareth than He was i
on the mountain of the transfiguration or j
on the first Easter Day. There are many
reasons why work is honorable, but it re- j
eeives its crowning glory from the exper- !.
ience of the divine Christ during the long j
period of which we know nothing save that i
He was a mechanic. He has endured all j
occupations with dignity that nothing short
of our own disloyalty can possibly take
away. It matters not what one's daily
toils are, they are worthy of fidelity and
energy, and they are as much a part of
God's service as the saying of prayers and
the receiving of religious rites. The emperor
and his humblest subject, the prime
minister and the street sweeper, the millionaire
and his valet, all are inoiuded in j
the spirit of industry and devotion which
Jesus manifested at the bench which stood
in a shop or, jjerhaps, at times under a
huge tree at Nazareth. He has hallowed
ill vocations by the consecration of His
personal industry, and they should be interpreted
and accepted as a sacred part oI
the life which now is.
The Nazareth Carpenter teaches that
worldly place of itself is nothing worth. A
man may be a man wherever he is. and j
labor is honorable whatever it may be. ;
Station or the lack of it does not make* j
the man or his life. The people of lowly
iegree may likewise learn precious lessons
:>? the Galilean artisan. They become dis- 1
muraged because they fancy themselves to j
be of no account, and they too often cher- I
' a * c? I
isii an unnappy coiitcuipi men umj *
toils. They despise the factory or the J
sitice as necessary evils. Jesus has a lesson ;
For them which He pronounces from the j
S'azareth shop. Long years He spent in |
obscurity. iNo murmurs escape Him, no ]
signs of impatience, no evidences of a j
restless longing to be otherwise, no vulgar j
md godless disposition to try to improve i
inon the plans of divine providence. Quiet- I
ly day after day He was concerned with I
the unimpressive and uninteresting mat- I
ters of His business, and His only aim was
to be true to the state where He was destined
to live until the time caihe for belinning
the public ministry. Wherever the 1
Heavenly Father has placed us we, the !
sons of men, can be the sons of God. The j
real things of life are not earthly and tem- j
poral. and the true estimate of ourselves is j
not the place?be it lofty or lowly?which i
ive hold among men. The divine Carpen- :
ter is a comfort and an inspiration to all. j
Amid the employment of His trade did j
Tesus prepare Himself for His public life. I
Fhere He was made ready, at least in part, J
to exercise all those transcendentlv great j
qualities of mind and heart which marked j
lirud v?ars TTp iravfi .

Himself up to His work as the world's Re- ;
deemer, but for fifteen years and more, as i
was probably the case. He was only a car- '
penter. Surely He did not spend all His
time and energy upon His daily toils. Often
did He devote Himself to godly exercises
of prayer and contemplation, without
which no one can develop the traits of
highest character. Bi t He was no recluse.
He settled the truth once for alt that the
place for strong-mind??d, stout-hearted folk
to serve God is in the woirld: the arena for
doing the Father's will is right here, where
ive have abundant opportunities for the
culture of holv graces and the practice of
holy living. We need the benefits of occasional
solitude, but we are bound to think
so seriously of life and of God's cause as
to give no place to the mawkish sentimentalism
which adores perpetual seclusion
and calls it the noblest type of religion.
Ihe divine Carpenter hesitated not to j
spend the years upon which His future j
work was founded amid the activities incident
to the daily interests of mankind. He
was a bread-winner, a wage-earner.
Work is God's ordinance. It it was a j
curse in the beginning, it is a blessing now.
ft is one of the best tonics, it is scarcely i
less than a sacrament. It may be debased, I
?vea as may the sacrament of the altar in
which one may eat and drink damnation
to his soul, but it is something of a sacrament
which is intended, if used aright, to
-trengthen and uplift, and to further the j
divine plans. It is a sacred duty. It?is the j
privilege and the prerogative of taking
nart in the vast activities of humanity. It
i< an invitation to the market place to dispense
comforts, to have a share in the
world's progress and the making of history.
It proclaims independence, it disci- j
panes character, it schools the affections.
We are only holy ground and are doing I
holy things when we go with Christ's spirit
to the daily round and the common task.
The founder of Christianity, the incarnate
Son of God, the universal Man, was a village
carpenter.
Holiness and Humility*
The highest lesson a believer has to j
learn is humility. 0, that every Christian I
who seeks to advance in holiness may re- I
member this well! There may be'-intense
consecration, and fervent zeal, and heavenly
experience, and yet, if it is not prevented
bv dealings of the Lord, there may
be an unconscious self-exaltation with it all.
Let us learn the lesson?the highest holiness
is the deepest humility, and let us remember
that it comes uot of itself, but
only as it is made a mat ter of special dealing
on the part of our faithful Lord and
Iiis faithful servant.?Andrew Murray.

GETTING IN THE WALNUTS.
An Industry That Closes California
Country Schools.
The first English walnut orchard in
California was plan tod with seed from
the Los Angeles Mission gardens,
where the padres had started a few
trees with nuts brought with them
from Spain. The undertaking was a
success from the first, and the acreage

siowjy at first, but now with rapid
strides. The walnut tree's early age
of bearing, its long life and the steady
demand for its products tend to
make the enterprise deservedly popular.
Already it ir superseding the
orange in favor among fruit growers.
The walnut tree begins to bear
when 6 or 7 years old, and nothing is
known definitely of its age limit of
bearing. Fabulous stories are told
nf trpfs in Snain one or two con
turies old, bearing enormous crops.
The oldest trees in, California are
still bearing, but deductions from the .
short history already made show J
that the tree is in <ts prime from
its twenty-fifth to its thirtieth year.
Fifteen hundred pounds of nuts to
the acre is a good average yield, making
seventy-five pounds the average
weight from one tree.
The harvest time begins about the
middle of September and lasts nearly
six weeks. The nuts begin to fall
with the leaves, and the perfect cultivation
under the tree3 leaves no
chance for them to lose themselves
among clods or weeds. The brown,
dead leaves alone hide the nuts. Under
normal conditions they drop free
from the outer husk, or hull, through
its irregular bursting, and getting the
nuts picked up is a simple flatter.
Sometimes the trees are we?i irrigated
just before harvest time to insure
the clean dropping of the nuts.
Boys and girls, men and women,
Japanese and Chinese, are all pressed
into service, and on hands and knees
the gnat orchards are gone over, not
once, but several times, on account

during the season to loosen the nuts
and before the last gleaning they are
"poled" to start the very tardy ones.
This is done by long, coarse bamboo
poles, whose light weight makes them
easily handled.
In certain rural districts the public
schools closfc regularly for a "walnut
vacation." The help of the children
is needed, and the children are nothing
loath to replenish their diminished
purses. Pails, cans and gunnysacks
are scattered among the pickers,
a*d when the bags are full they
are carried to the drying grounds,
where they are spread out on slat
trays to dry.?Review of Reviews.

In old age the raucous membranes be- _

This leads to partial loss of hearing,
