The Christian Dignity of
Labor.
If -there is any disposition among
peple in general to deny that labor
is honorable, it would be unlikely to
manifest itself conspicuously in these
days. For labor, whatever may have
I been. its timidity in the past, now is
holding up its head boldly, and is
claiming its full share of respect and
houor. Its time of diffidence passed
long ago, and forever, and probably
every wise man rejoices thereat. The
t hristian dignity of labor, however,
Is not insisted upon so earnestly, or
even understood so generally. Hon
est, faithful work, it ought to be re
membered, is noble, not only because
of its inherent merit, but because it
is inevitably necessary to the fulfill
ment of the divine plans . for the
world. God has indorsed and also
commanded it. He has made it
necessary to most people. In a cer-
tain real sense, and without irrev
erence, it even may be declared that
be works himself, continually sus
taining all the manifold members of
His great universe in all their varied
and countless movements and operaT
tions. Our sense of the dignity of
labor needs to be broad and enlight
ened. How often are men who work
with their hands, overheard to sneer at
others, who seem idlers, yet who may
be intellectual toilers of the first
rank? "The pen is mightier than
the sword' not only,, but also than
the spado or trowel. Much of the
most difficult and widely beneficial
labor never would - be x accomplished
if God had not made it possible for
some men to live without, havings to
earn - their own support, and to give
themselves to investigation, study
experiment and authorship. Mere
idlers are contemptible, but it is not
an open question whether they are
not more numerons among the hard
workers than among the others, even
including: the many who have . in
herited fortunes. " Let every true
laborer recognize cheerily, the fact
that God wishes all sorts of work
to be done, and vthat' the Spirit of
Christ is that .which honors every
faithful workman. A true sense o
the Christian dignity, of labor goes
far toward enabling employers and
employees to see with the same eyes
and thus toward preventing many
disagreements. It teaches that labor
is too serious and toot honorable
a thing to be set at the mercy of pro
fessional .) agitators, "walking dele
eates.": and the, like, aa.so often- has
been the fact, i lt may retain belie
In the principle of the strike, but in
the "application of that principlie it

Th Compass in the .WatchK
A correspondent -: of the : London

days ago I was standing by an Amer
ican gentleman; when I expressed a
wish,, to know which point was-the
north,. lie at once ' pulled -.out .his
watch, lookewl at itv and pointed to
the north. I asked him whether he
had a compass' attached to" his watch.
All watches'-he replied, are com
passes Then he! explained to me
how this was. ' Point the hour ;hand
to the snnVand the south . is exactly
half iway. between the hour and the
figure XII,voii the watch. - JFor in
stance, Suppose thaitis. 4 o'clock.
Point the hand indicating 4 to the
sun and II on the watch is exactly
south. Suppose that it is 8 o clock,
point the hand indicating 8 rto 't. the
sun, and the figure X ' on the watch
is due south, v y American friend
was quite surprised that I did not
know this. Thinking that yery pos
sibly I was ignorant of a thing that
every one else knew, and happening
to meet Air. Stanley, I asked" that
eminent traveler whether he was
aware of this simple mode of discov
ering the points of the compass. He
said that he had never heard of it. I
presume therefore, that the World " is
in the same state of ignorance. Amalfi
is proud of haWng been the borne of
the inventor of the compass. I do
not know what town boasts of

A 8 the ChtiHtlan Un ion says,.there
is a deal of common ; sense in ; this
story lately told 6f Edison, whether
he said it or not. A gentleman went
to the great electrician with his son.
who was about to begin work , as an
office boy in a well known business
house. The father asked Edison for
a motto which the boy might take, to
heart in his straggle for promotion
and success. After a moments pause
Edison said, laconically, Never look
at the clock!"

man who clears up Ms desk, no mat-

above his head, when , the whistle
blows, is likely to remain a second
