THE WokkINGMAN is taken up with his work and its pressing ti so cial problems: he is fighting for his bread; s constantly confronted with conditions in which he needs guidance and sympathy. The world is at present much absorbed in practical questions of econo mics. declares the Rev. Paul Moore Strayer in The Homilctic Review (New York), and the preacher who wishes to be listened to must be prepared to answer the questions whether uttered or unuttered of his hearers. As it is, we are told, the sermon has made no response to the needs, the cravings, the experi ences, of the working class. The sermon is too oten,a atrioaLolaiQl al jfeneralties or dogmatic asser tigfis. "Men have staid away from the thurches because our preachers fdid not seem to gear to their actual life and help them where they most needed help. We have confined ourselves to the problems of per sonal morality and solved them to the satisfaction of all. Here we have littfto sav that is new, for Its Everybody's Day! Christian standards of ethics are familiar to Western peoples. So long as we restrict ourselves to per sonal morality we are saying no thing that the people do not know already. And that great new world of industry with its immense ethic al problems, where men are losing their way for want of guidance, we moral teachers have scarcely enter ed. "We have come to an industrial organization of the world. Indus try absorbs the life of the people. If we have nothing to say about in dustrial right and wrong we have little to say that matters. When the Archbishop of Canterbury an nounced recently that he worked seventeen hours a day and had no time left to form an opinion as to the solution of the problem of the unemployed. Mr. Keir Hardie re plied that 'a religion which de mands seventeen hours a day for organization, and leaves no time for a single thought about despair ing and starving men and women and children, has no message for this age.' " "We must have a message for an industrial age, or cease to be moral leaders. Some fear that in trying to interpret the rights and deeds of those who toil and to show the in terest of the Church in child labor and hours of employment for wo men and similar social problems, the Church may regain those whom it has lost, but losetboseitnowhas. The captains of industry will leave the Church, they say, if the Church seems to befriend the privates in the ranks of industry. I do not be lieve it. For captains of industry are Christian men, honest and fair minded men, and they want to have t ; interpreted to them how the law of ' Christ applies to their life and work. They are in doubt as to their duty, they are in trouble because there is now much that they want to do but can not And they will accept with f i gratitude any consensus of opinion l which will set newt standards that t will permit them to follow their own hearts and their present , feeling of brotherliness." rLitenty bigeai. Thomasville Orphanage. Mr, 9. W. Chambliss, writing in JTie Charlotte Chronicle last SaM urday, giving a history of the Thomasville Baptist Orphanage, among other things said: The Orphanage property is loca ted within the corporation limits of Thdmasville, it is truly a thing of beauty. The buildings are modern. Waterworks, sewerage, electric lights, every possible feature added in order that the children may have a delightful home and still be train ed for clean, 'happy life. In the person of the manager, M. L., Kesler, the Orphanage has a splendid character. Thoroughly ah'v to the opportunity and re-, spbnsibility, Mr. Kesler is making a magnificent record in his posi tion. Along with him is Archibald Johnson, the remarkable' editor of Charity and children. The pa per, the official organ of the institu' tion, printed on the grounds every week and enjoying a circulation of 15,000 is recognized as one of the besj papers in the State. Editor Johnson has made a great name through his work with the publica tion. The foreman in the office, learned the trade in the office which he now controls. Thomaaville Baptist Orphanage is a magnificent institution. It must be seen to be appreciated. Words, especially cold, newspaper words cannot express the magnificence of the institution. It is well worth the trip to spend a while at Thom aaville and go through the build ings, visit the shops and see the splendid farm and dairy. The man agement is to be congratulated on the remarkable success already achieved and the future promises to show even greater progress. Come On Everybody to be Here. is Going 1 lie town ot Ihomasville has ar ranged for a celebration of Every. body's Day on October 1.

There will be a street parade of mili tary and brass band, followed by races of various kinds. Mr. A. W. Graham, Commissioner of Agricul ture, is booked for an addrss.

Thomasville is a good town and in the way of entertainment, its people never go in for anything cheap. Charlotte Chronicle. Rally Day at Main Strait Methodist Sunday School Naxt Sunday Morning.
