I'salms, civ. mi 23. Ho said In part: "Tho Idea hold fH that labor is a curse to tho race In a wl misnomer. In it Is an evolution ot big LI happlnesB, Its advent wns not or fm dalncd In man's transgression. Ood f9 mado It In nfllnlty with horolo bu- Ufl inanity. Labor Is universal In Its char- jfl actor and toll Is most democratic. All H creation Is hinged on u busy exlstonco H and tho gllttoring universe Is a vast M system of busy wheels, nn object les- son for man to consider. Tho paraslto B element of human socltty 1b separated H from God. Tho being of Indolence Is H a fraud to society; tho man who docs H not work breaks tho commandment of H Cod and the tlrcd-born who novcr H draw an Industrious breath arc, In H common language, thlevcB. H "Thoy rob tho world of tollhood, H tako unearned bread to live on. Wo 9 talk about tho laboring class; there Is fM no such thing In tho economy ot Ood. 9 No man, It ho bo as rich as Croesus, fl Rockefeller or Sago, but what la toll- jn worn as tho man who works on tho u railroad (section, carries tho hod of H brick or tho woman that wearily works WBl In tho washtub world. So many look H on labor as tho product of Bin and tho Hj chief disgrace of mankind, Tho B9 domocracy of labor Is tho suporlatlvo 19 end ot man. Such nn example as tho ma Carpenter ot Nazareth proves tho H honor of labor and Its adaptability for H the benefit of mankind." HJ |
