be content to believe that "Jesus Increas-

Now. If Jesus eon Id devote so large a
portion of His life to manual labor shall
we not learn a lesson of Km dignity? A
strange astir 1st ome wrote "Satan In
vented work: Hablmthless Hatun." Some
sem to regard It as a necessary evil
But Jesus said "My Knther wnrketh

"This ls the moral man's crime. He
avails himself of the good and strives to

the author of all good the homage

the honor which belongs to the Creator.
It Is better to be a third-rate Christian

for small faith there may bo some ex-
cuse but for unfalth none. This man
had been privileged to walk with God's
