"In his day thou shalt give him his hire, neither shall the sun go down upon it."—Many employees who are perfectly .able to pay their employees postpone the payment from sheer in- dolence, or from the miserly desire to hold'on to their -Honey as long as possible. This is a great injustice... 't(For '.he is poor, and setteth his heart 'upon it.)"—Men who always have;plenty of money do not realize the straits to Which the poor are of- ten subjected' for lack of a few dol- lars that may be owed them. "Lest he cry against thee unto Jehovah, and it be a in unto thee."—There are a vast number of unpaid small ac- counts that mean much to poor peo- ple, but they have no money to pay lawyers and cannot appeal to the (courts. ...NEW TESTAMENT TEACHINGS ON INDUSTRY . "Servants (slaves), be obedient un- to' them that according to the flesh ace 'your tntast'ers"•-"According to the flesh" shows how, while accepting, as it was obliged to, the slave sys- tem, Christianity 'planted the seeds of liberty };which were sure to gr;:4:. ; `for the •philase implies, that those to whom Paul was •writing, though their tbodies were .enslaved, might and should be free in their souls, just as free .as their 'pasters were. But they were .doing service, and one of the first qualitites of a good servant, as Of a good soldier, is obedience. "With .fear :and trembing."—'This does not imply harsh treatment, but solicitude in service. "In singleness of your heart, as unto Christ." --In serving men they are serving Him' and their single purpose should be to please Hint, thus will they best please their earthly .masters. - "Not in the way of cyeservice, as men-pleasers."—"Do you see any dif- ference, now you have become a Christian?" was asked of a servant girl. "Yes, sir; I sweep under .the rugs now." "But as servants (slaves) of Christ."—Completely devoted to His service, knowing no other will than His. "Doing the will of God from the heart."—"Thus in view of Him who searches the heart and sees in secret, they wil 'take care that their work is honest and thorough." "With good .will doing service, as unto the Lord, and not Unto men."— "Good will' there could be no better motto for a labor union or an associ- ation of employers than those two words. They embody the spirit that will animate all workers and employ- ers whet industry is Christianized. "Not unto hien" does not imply of course, that workers are to have no regard for their employers and, seek to please them, but their supreme loyalty is to their divine Master. " Knowing tliat whatsoever good thing each one doeth, the same shall he receive again from the Lord."— "The essence, of the truth is that the obedience of love is infallibly wel- comed and remembered by Him to whom it is rendered. "Whether he be bond or free."—Master and ser- vant have, very different circumstan- ces on the earth,. but they have the sante Lord in heaven, and they re- ceive from Him the same reward for the same obedience. Here is the true Christian union and liberty. "And ye masters, do the same things unto them." — "Do the same things" means that "the masters were to act to their servants in the sante Christian way as the servants were called to act to theta -in the sane slairit of consideration and good will." "And forbear threatening."—This is the tomo of unchristian treatment in tit='rich piasters are most likely to in- ddtilge, given here as a sample ,of all •ntaronier of harshness. "Knowing that he •who is both their Master and Tours is in heaven."—"The principles of these exhortations are applicable `tet ith•e ;modern relations of capitalists and laborers, employers and employ-; ed; and ,have much need to be ap- plied to them. They indicate, what is borne out by the most advanced results of political economy, that there is a Mutual benefit in such re- lations; and that, if labor does much: for capital it is no less true that capi- tal does a great deal for labor., Each benefits the other. and the relations between them should be regulated by the golden rule of mutual good 'will." 'And there is no respect of persons with him."—'Respect of persons' — one word in the Greek—implies treat - ng two persons different for the same conduct, according as one may be rich and powerful and the other poor and humble.' "Charge them that are rich in this present world."—This 'is a reminder that worldly riches are uncertain ev- en ina this world ,and are nothing in the world to come. Paul may have been thinking of Christ's parable of the rich man and Lazarus, "That. they be not highminded."— Proud of their wealth; they should be grateful to God for it, but God surely did not give it to them to make them. proud. "Nor have any hope set on the un- certainty of riches."— Many happen- ings may destroy riches, happenings beyond man'scontrol; and it is alp: - surd to fix one's hopes on so fleet- ing a thing as wealth. "But on God, who giveth us richly all things to en- joy."—Hope set. on God is fixed on. an imperishable foundation. "Riches are therefore a real good, if rightly used. For they are given by God, who is the Giver of every goody and perfect gift, and they are intended not only to, be possessed but to be enjoyed." . "That they do good, that they be rich in good works."—There is no un- certainty in this kind of riches; what we give away wisely we possess for- ever.. "That they be ready to distri- bute, willing to communicate." "Communicate" means to add to the common stock; 'commune' and 'com- tnunist" have the sante origin, though they have gone far from Paul's mean- ing. "Selfishness" is the opposite word—to use for one's self alone. "Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to conic."—There is no better founda- tion for the future than money spent unselfishly for the good of others. Such expenditures become indeed a treasure; and that is what Paul's one word translated "laying up in store" literally means: "treasuring." "That they may lay hold on life which is life indeed."—Eternal life, as against the brief and uncertain mortal life which is associated with worldly wealth. Paul does not say the rich by their generous gifts, may purchase eternal life, for that comes. only through faith in Him who is the Life but as they cultivate the spirit of love which is the spirit of Christ, they ar enabled to enter the life which i "hid with Christ in God."

How 'do you feel towards the man who wears good clothes, keeps his shoes shiner' and his hat cleaned, but always on whose abdominal covering, there is conspicuous evidence of many a slip between the cup and the lip; who always needs a shave, and for the years that you have known him. never has had a manicure? What is 'your reaction When you behold a lady walking down the street all dresser' up in the finest raiment, with a hole in her heel? And what would von think if you saw this same lady every day for a week, and every time that ver. saw her there was the sante hole in the same heel of the sante hose? Whatever your reaction to such people, it is sure that you are not -attracted to then. It is certain that contact with them does not fill you with joy and pleasure, nor create a desire to be intim- ately associated with ,there. In people- such is called slovenliness—or perhaps you have a better word for it; in communities it is "oppressive ugliness." Va- cant store rooms with dirty, placarded and messed -up windows; bro- ken, cob -webbed and paper -stuffed second storey windows in the business district; vacant lots overgrown with weeds, cluttered with all sorts of rubbish and refuse; vacant houses with tumble-down buildings; dirty streets, highway entrances littered with nondescript road signs; open city dumps and other stick things of repulsion are to' a community what a soup -stained vest or a heelless stocking is to otherwise well-dressed people. I know a town where, semen years ago, a store building in the heart of an attractive business district was gutted by fire. Weeds grow rampant through the brickbats within the confines of still - standing, smutted, charred half -walls, Several years ago•a school building surrounded by fine homes was •cotndemned and abandoned. It still stands, dank and gruesome, its broken windows and rotted doorvw•ays yawning ghost-like, front under sagging roof and mildewed walls. The city hall of a town t know was destroyed by storm some time. ago. What was the basement of this building is now a catch- all—a dumping ground for street sweepings, tin cans, junk and c or- ruption—a rodents' paradise ,,f filth and hogwash in plant View of every passerby. As you are affected by slovenliness in peopie, just so are the potential residential, commercial and industrial customers of your community affected by "crj pressive ugliness." Don't tolerate abominations that create "oppressive ugliness", They can be eliminated and its your business and the business of every other citizen to see to it that tiny are eliminated, because it's costing you money by, driving business out of \Vinghatii and keep- ing new business and new people from coming in.
