LABOR DAY- Modern Industrial Workman Gets Paid Well, Enjoys Life O NE-FOURTH of the worlds sulphur, used for everything from automobiles and weed kill ers to xylophones and rubber boots comes from limestone depos its far beneath coastal plains of Texas and Louisiana's delta. IFork- ing on the surf ace, sulphur miners, like other U. S. industrial work ers, benefit from exemplary labor conditions. This year’s Labor day finds the typical operator punch ing a time-clock (right) working 40 hours a week and earning an average of 86 cents an hour. Twen- ty years ago the same job paid 35 cents an hour, 70 hours a week. This launch carries workers 10 miles through a canal from Louisiana"s Grande Ecaille mine to Port Sulphur, mi ner s’ town on the Mississippi's banks. Old days saw miners walking miles to work, painfully hauling materials across the plains and swamps by - plodding mule train. w. ' Financial worries are reduced. This typical worker at Grande Ecaille has just dis cussed a problem with his personal manager and is receiving a loan. Employees also get group insurance, hos pitalization, pensions, service bonuses and dis charge compensation. Left: Miners and their families are ardent sportsmen. Here is a regularly scheduled night softball game between Port Sulphur and Belle Chasse, nearby community. Right: Son of a Grande Ecaille employee re covers from operation at the Port Sulphur hospital. It’s good old summer time six or seven months of the year on the gulf coast and the childrens’ swimming pool at Port Sulphur is always popular.

(Released by Western Newspaper Union.) Lesson for August 27 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts iected and copyrighted by Inteifiationrd Council of Religious Education; used by permission. UZZIAH: A KING WHO FORGOT GOD 21. LESSON TEXT—H Chronicles 26.3-5, 16. GOLDEN TEXT—Every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he hat hum- bleth himself shall be exalted.—Luke 18:14. “Pride goeth before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall’' (Prov. 16:18). A man’s life may begin with every promise of greatness and he may prosper in everything for years as he honors God, and then by pre sumptuous disobedience he may bring it all to sudden destruction, living the closing years of his life in disgrace and going down to his grave in sorrow. That fact is writ ten so large on the pages of history that one marvels that “wayfaring men though fools” need to “err therein” (Isa. 35:8). Pride makes a man blind to his own weakness and so presumptuous that he walks right into trouble. The story of Uz- ziah points a moral. both obvious and needed by all of us. I. Prosperity (w. 3-5). “As long as he sought the Lord, God made him prosper” (v. 5). With a heart right toward God, the background of a rearing by God fearing parents (how much that means!) and the counsel of a man who was an “expert” in his under standing of the ways and the will of God, Uzziah prospered greatly. Chapters 25 to 27 of II Chronicles reveal him as a man of affairs, a successful warrior, a capable agri culturist, an able gvernment ad ministrator, and a king whose fame was known far and wide. For one who took ovei the government of a nation at the tender age of 16, fol lowing the tragic death of his fa ther, Uzziah made a remarkable and commendable record. II. Presumption (v. 16). “When he was strong, his heart was lifted up to his destruction” (v. 16). What sad words! Pros perity ruined a man who had made a name for himself in times of ad versity. In presumptuous pride he attempted to take the place of the priest ordained of God, in effect de claring that the State was over the Church, as we would put it in our day. “There is no greater danger at taching to the life of Christian serv ice* than the danger of presumptu ous pride. I mean the pride which manifests itself in an independence of the ordinary means of grace, of prayer, and ff the Word of God. I am convinced that that is the cause of much of the failure in many lives here. It is a pride which says: T can dispense with the Word of God’; which persists in living on a mini mum of prayer and communion with God, and in yet going about the work of God as of old; a pride which, like Uzziah’s, seeks carnal prominence in spiritual things. For that was his sin. He sought a car nal prominence in service which God had ordained was to be of an entirely spiritual order” (J. Stuart Holden). IH. Punishment (vv. 17-21). “The king was a leper . . . and . . . was cut off from the house of the Lord” (v. 21). The priests of God had holy boldness in rebuking the king, a quality which one could hope would never be missing in the testimony of God’s servants. The king, however, resented their wise words of counsel, and punishment from God, both swift and terrible, came upon him. If the judgment upon Uzziah seems too drastic, let us remember that the king was presuming to set aside an order established by God. It was a question of whether God was to rule or the king. We should also bear in mind that what looks like a single outward bit of pre sumption was really the expression of a heart that had long since gone far from God. When men in high position either in the State or in the Church fall into sin, it is not very often the result of a yielding to a sudden temptation, but rather the inevitable showing forth of what has long been true in the inner life. The leprosy of Uzziah’s heart now showed forth in his face, and he had to be shut off from his people and from his royal position. God Sees the Heart Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.—Hebrews 4:13. Spiritual Contradictions He that was called in the Lord being a servant, is the Lord’s free man: likewise he that is called, being free, is Christ’s servant.—I Cor. 7:22. Patience That Endureth It is in length of patience, en durance and forbearance that so much of what is good in mankind and womankind is shown.—Arthur Helps. Power of God Religion wields the greatest power in the universe, the power of God.
