and our place in the world.
The cool weather these last
days of summer are a glorious
reminder of God's promise that
we shall have seed time and
harvest, summer and winter,
fall and spring. What a joy it is
to know that this is the day the
Lord our God has given us and
we can rejoice and be glad in it.
Labor Day is our symbol of
the release of the laboring man
from the impossible situations
of the past. The sweat shops
and slave conditions of yester
day are gone. Industry today
gives men a fresh place in so
ciety and new opportunities
for the future. Beyond our joy

i of work is the recognition that
we are co-laborers with God.
School days, school days,
dear old golden rule days. Days
of discipline, days of studying,
days of happy friendships un
fold like a fresh book. Students
! everywhere find the joys of
learning experience an d
awaken to the new discoveries
of each new day. God’s original
command was, “Be fruitful and
multiply and replenish the
earth and subdue it”. The
scholar is able to cope with our
world, because-he understands
it and knows its functioning
purposes.
