Monday was Labor Day and throu- ghout the length and breadth of this country tribute was paid to the part ’which Labor has played and is destin- ed to play in the building of Canada. “The Workman and His Work” was the subject of a very interesting ser- mon by Rev. E. Ryerson Young of the Newtonbrook United Church on Sun_ ress was very much enjoyed bya large congregation. “Labor is King," We are told, said Rev. Young in open- ing his discourse.” The modern aris- tocrat is the workingman. What a change from former days! Its is not so long ago that that great exponent of human life Shakespear, pictured a young gentleman, one of his heroes, threatened with death by his elder brother, being besought by an old family servant to flee the place. “What,”said Orlando, “wouldst thou have me go and beg my food or with a base and boisterous sword enforce la thievish living on a common road? For this young gentleman there seem- ed only two ways opened to him, a gentleman beggar or a gentleman thief. The thought of putting his hands to toil was foreign to him. And the ideas pertains in some quarters that only the “professions” are even to-day the possible places for gentle- men who are compelled to render :50ine service to humanity for a living. 'But that idea is being rapidly abused and the worthy workman is coming into his full heritage. It may be a surprise to some that the Bible has always given him a noble place, even Iconsidering the master-workman a man called of God and enducd with His peculiar spirit. For a preacher of the Gospel, sent to proclaim glad [tidings of a Heavenly Father’s love. Ito be filled with the Spirit that he may perform his work alright, has long been acknowledged. But our education in the “Ministry of God” is not complete until we turn -back to the book of “Exodus,” and read in the thirty-first chapter of a workman “filled with the spirit of lGod" to cut stones, carve timber, “to work in all manner of workmanship.” So, in God’s own Kingdom, there is no such divisions as men make between “sacred” and “secular” work; but wherever there is honest work to be done, truth to be proclaimed, justice to be attained or service to be render- led, the workman, called of God to do the task, is as worthy as any of his fellows of honor, reward and love. Amongst the forces today, public opinion, Labor Unions, Socialists, and other organizations, the church is tak- ing a full part in bringing about the true appreciation of the place and re- wards of the working-man. But, in their impatience to grasp the rewards of their labor, there are organizations day evening last and the timely addâ€" I iAn Inspiring Labor Day Sermon Ryerson Young ; Minister of Newtonbrook United Church Gave Interesting Discourse on Timely Subject. brave people the work is first and fee lis the second. And this is no small ldistinction. It is between life and '; death IN a man: between heaven and lll'K‘Il FOR him. You cannot serve two ,mastersiyou MUST serve one or the other. If your work is first with you and your fee is second, work is your master and the who is God. But if your fee is first Iwith you, and your work is second, fee is your master, and the lord of your fee who is the devil.” These words of Ruskin are very strong but we do not believe that they are too strong. Let us take up point by point, these different contentions. There is first the primal insistence upon the charac- ter of the workman and the nature of his work. If place, power and the privilege to enjoy the rewards of lab- or were of first consideration then .Herod, uh; King, should be the ideal above Jesus, the Carpenter of Nazar- eth; for his power enabled him to in- crease his sensuous pleasurc by takâ€" ing his brother's wife and when thre- at came to his sovereign power, he 'was in a position to see that all op- ponents of his policy, and truth-seek- .ing and truth-tolling preachers were ‘beheaded. On the other hand, Jesus, a humble carpenter grew “in statuturc in wisdom and in favor of God and man," and brought forth such a fruit- ful service that it is as a new stream of blessing plunged into the turbid currents of human life. He showed that there is no honest work, however thumble. but it may be for the fashion_ of a noble soul. It ware better, says the church, to be a humble village carpenter, more loving, kind and truly religious than Herod on the throne clothed in fine linen and fawned upon by many friends. for one has heaven within his soul and the other hell, and only the light of God's day is, needed reveal the truth. But this is preaching “other world lines.” says the impatient laborer. “The laborer is worthy of his hire,” give me that and let me spend it as I like. So the workman cries for his fee but how soon the end has to be faced! Even those who sport and laugh during their day soon find the shades gather- ing and then hear their cry! Harry Lauder, one of the world’s leading comedians, says three goals for men. and God. But I fear that if the truth were told, Drink is but a porch of the charnel-house, Despair. Thus the great comedian points out that the end of the fee-seeker is the same as Ruskin declared. But the Church does insist upon the workman receiving his due even here. “The laborer is worthy of his hire,” it says with emphasis, but it also says i to “If any man will not work. neither let him eat.” In the words of a mod- ern workman, the church most em- .‘horough Eye Examinations of workingmcn’who resent all othc»~ lnhaticallv declares “Life without lab- and Glasses That Fit Perfectly.

SLINEY i l i workmen who do not see with them 1and approve of their methods to at- itain their ends, and amongst those most resented have been their fellow- workmen in the church. It is merely an insistence upon first principles, but the outcome, we believe, is as difâ€" ferent as is darkness from light. The ,insistence of Socialistic Labor Unions is upon fees, rewards of labor and lphysical conditions. The Church’s first insistence is upon the nature of the work and the character of the worker. How much did he get for his llabor? asks the exploiter. How much leould he get for it? How much “fun"' ‘will his wage get him ‘3 The Church. ion the other hand, insists upon, What did he do? How well did he do his lwork‘.’ In what spirit. did he do it? ‘Those, who place the first insistence lupon fees and rewards of labor, who <cannot think in terms of love and ser- (vice and selfsacrit'ice. we believe. are filling the world with graft and greed. selfishness and war. with their terriâ€" blc train of bitterness. disaster and woe. 0n the other hand. if tho char- acter of the workman and the quality of the work receive the primal insist- ence we believe we shall have a world “herein dwclleth justice and righteoâ€" usncss. the noble fruits of which will be peace. prespcrity and happiness. And John Ruskin thing. “With these people." sees the Siilll‘v' says he. “just as certainly the fee is the first and the work in the second. as with v or is sin.’ “I work the works of Him that sent me," says Jesus. and so says every other true workman. The Bible most emphatically states that it is only the workman who is entitled to lthe rewards of toil, to the very bread by which men live. Let all others perish. ‘ But' the spirit of God in Bezaleel was not satisfied with simply perforâ€" ming a task. He was an artificer in- deed, bringing to highest possible perâ€" fection the grace and beauty of his Iwork. Thus he fills out: the ideal of the noble workman: “Life without labor is sin; but labor without art is ibrutality." The true workman in love his work, is not as the ox that with seeks but a full manger and a bed of lclean straw he. seeks to bring out the ,fullest possibilities of his work. and. in that very act, perfects his own cha- racter, bringing out its fullest and most glorious manhood. And this thought leads us to the highest conception of the Bible. In what spirit did the workman work? For his fee. to please men or with the glory of God in his soul?

(‘f to llim as a l :"irst going Behold Ills should go to Him Lord of your work that there are but I Drink, Despair _ resort we , :citizens with the saints” and are “of ithe household of God." Compare the gworkman seeking worldly pleasurcsi l ,as his rewards with the man who has done his day‘s toil and walked with 1God! Compare the home where each seeks his rights and personal plea- lsures with the one wherein dwells the lspirit of Christ. Truly the “household :of God” is a forctaste given to men of what their hamlets. their cities and their world may be, if they would but where set the primal things in their place. “‘Seck yo first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness," then the re- lwards will be given, and, better still, ‘then and then only will men be in a position to fully appreciate and most thoroughly enjoy those rewards. But the weary conflict is still bit- terly raging. The forces of darkness, the deceitful mirages, are holding the minds of multitudes of men. of sin- cere and struggling workingmen. World-visions of blessing and the bin- ding together the workers of rarth in- to one great brotherhood are abroad. It hehoves the “children of God" to diligently spread the light and to pro- claim thc truth that they possess. The Spirit of God will not be satisfied with half-victories. The slave is freed; but so must be the child. The moth- er must, be lifted to her place of full- est honor. All who toil should re- ceive their due; and all should toil, and in their toil rejoice. While there is much to be said about “the move- ment of the mosscs," the making and enforcement of wide-sweeping laws, the CHURCH STILL INSISTS that 1he PRIMARY TlIIN ‘1 is to FIRST PASS THE WORKMAN THROUGH THE HANDS OF THE MASTER- WORKMAN. \Vhen man can say he is of GOD‘S WORKMANSHIP, creat- ed anew in Christ Jesus unto good works, when he is thus right with God. he will soon set to rights the things of this world.

In the Leamington-Chatham districts the acreage is estimated at 1,580 acres, against 1,455 acres in 1926. It is reported that 1,230 acres are planted to Southport Yellow Globe and 350 acres to Red Globe. Wet ‘wcather conditions have been un- iavorable to the crop, and blight is stated to be prevalent and reducing the yield. Present prospects indicate a crop amounting to 990 cars, as compared with 723 cars last year. i l I I’rovmces over the lines of the Canadian National Railways he evinced keen interest-1n all matters concerning transportation. At Truro, NS, Mr. Baldwm asked D. A. McKay, Car Inspector. “Did you examine the wheels of my car?” ,7 “Yes sxr. They are all right”, answered the Inspector. Mr. Baldwm then asked a number of questions about the work of Inspectors, remarking that in England they were called “car tappers,” and noting the longer hammer used in Canada. “Yours is a responsible work” commented Mr. Baldwin as the train drew out. rt Davies’ Dry Goods Store Hairdressing Parlour _Our operator, MISS DENBY, holds a first class diploma for Marcelling, Water Waving, Hair Tinting, Shampooing, Bob and Hair Cutting, Scalp and Facial Treatment, Manicuring, Etc.
