THE PULPIT, (— o - A SCHOLARLY SUNPAY SERMON BY b DR. N. M'GEE WATERS. i Subject: Joy in Work, | rßrooklyn, N. Y.—ln his series of gsermons on ‘‘The Choice of a Pro fession,” the Rev. Dr. N. McGee ‘Waters, pastor of the Tompkins Ave nue Congregational Church, Sunday preached on “How a Young Man May Find Joy in His Work.” He said in the course of his sermon: The story of labor is a checkercd one. It is only in our highest civiliza tion that work is coming to its own. In his savage state man is the lazy animal. Indeed, it is not natural for any animal to work, save as it is driven to it by the whip of neces sity. This is the view of work we find embodied in the old Genesis story, where labor is set down as a punishment for Adam’s sin, where he is told, as he is driven from the Garden, “Thou shalt eat thy bread by the sweat of thy brow.” This is not only a very uninspired part of the Bible; but this sentiment certifies that it is o very old part. How labor was despizad received its most signal illustration from the life of Christ. You remember how over the multitudes who hearad Him, He cast a spell. All the people said that no man spake as He spake. The loftiest spirits pressed about Him and asked Him if He were' the Messiah, Yet they scarcely could believe for joy. And what was the basis of their doubt? Their skepticism was all in that question of theirs, “Is not this the carpenter’s son?” How could a workman be the real Saviour? They marveled at His wisdom. They con fessed that He spoke with authority. They followed Him as sheep follow a shepheérd. But He was a carpen ter, and so the high and mighty set Him down for a fraud. It was be cause their eyes were holden that they mistook the dignity of toil for a disgrace. In some parts of the world that is still true. But increasingly the world is coming to honor the toiler, whether he works in a profession or a trade, and is correspondingly com ing to despise the idler, whether he be rich or poor. How much the United States has done with its democracy to bring this about, and 'with its great men, almost all of them coming from the cabin and the plow, we may never know. Certain it is that New England was the first country since the land of the ancient Jews in which it was counted respec table to earn one’s living. Little do we think, or have taken time to find out, how much our work contributes to. our happiness. Work is a great character builder. I suppose most of us work in order to eat. I suppose if we were gener ally asked, we would say that the first requirement we made of our labor was that it should clothe us, and feed us, and house us. That is the first requirement and the lowest. ~ The second and greatest require ment a man makes of his work, ‘whether he knows it or not, is that it shall make a man of him. Your work maust bring you bread, but no less it must bring you culture. Some how or other we are always pitying the boy who is born poor, or the young man who fails at college. It is a hardship and sometimes a pity. There is one man, however, more un fortunate than that voung man, and that is the young fellow who is born in a silken nest and goes through col lege in an automobile. There is nhothing wrong about a silken nest, and there is nothing bad about an -automobile, except its trail. But you cannot raise an eagle in eiderdown, and it requires far more of a man to amount to anything in college who 'goes through it in an automobile instead of walking., We are so made that we must have struggle. The reason why rich men’'s sons rarely amount to anything, is because they never develop their muscles. There is no teacher like work. It must bring him bread, but no less it must bring him culture. ‘““The Man With the Hoe—he needs not so much pity. Moses was a herdsman; David was a shepherd; Jesus was a carpenter; Benjamin Franklin knew no college —he was a printer’s devil; Robert Burns knew no leisure—he was a plowman; Abraham Lincoln wore no soft raiment; but these are our stars of the first magnitude. Rven col leges can give culture only through work, and there are some things col leges cannot teach. Literature and history and the liberal arts are at last the ornaments of life; even read ing and writing and the rule of three are all named the ‘“‘conveniences ofi life.” But these are fundamentals—in dustry, thrift, courage, honesty, truth, faith, hope, love. These are the threads which, woven together, make the eternal life of man. If voau have forgotten these, ‘“‘though vou have gained the whole world, you have lost your own soul,” and these may be had for the receiving in every work and calling open to men. When You stand before a task, look for a teacher. llf it offer thee not wisdom, despise its wage. If thy calling yield thee not culture for mind and heart, it is but a coffin for thy beiter nature. Demand of your life work that it shall make a man out of you. | Work is a great influence giver. ‘And here we come upon another blunder. It is not the kind of work You do that gives vou influence so much, That is what the world thinks. It is the way vou do it. Quality counts for more than kind. It is true, of courge, that there are some vocationg that in themselves damn the worker. All labor that makes merchandise out of men’s vices Is of that sort. It is true algo that certain kinds of work give more consideration than others. The minister, becauge he is a min ister, occuples a larger place in the community than the day laborer. That is, he does if he ministers, His great calling will not serve in itself. Many a laborer in many a village has /been more the voice of God to that village than the parson has been. For, after all, the thing that counts in influence is not money or possess slons. It is a quality, a thing, an at mosphere. It is personality. So the fineness of a man's work, or the coarseness of it, s the thing by which he is at last judged in the community, There is a little town out in Min nesota called Rochester. A few years ago when I was there it only had a few hundred people in it. It was a nice little, commonplace, prairie town. It is not the capital of the State; it is not the seat of the uni versity; the penitentiary is not even there; nor have they a church with relic working miragles. It is not ‘the home of a United States Senator, nor any politician, And vet it is the Mecca of a pilgrim host. From every ‘State in the Unijon, from across the sea, from every capital and country of civilization men are journeying to Rochester, Minnesgota. - And those who are going are the scholars, the authorities, the masters in surgery. What takes them there? Simply this: An old doctor hy the name of Mayo has been practising in that little town for a generation. His two sons, now in early maturity, practise with their father. The fact is that they have been doing such marvelous things with the knife, and such fine work as surgeons, that the great mas ters from Paris, Berlin and Vienna, as well as this country, are singing their praise, and go out to that little town to sit at the feet of these men, and pay homage to the superiority of their work. It is always so. If you are re membered at all it is by the things you have done well-—whether vou have raised a field of corn, sewed a patech on an old garment, made a pumpkin pie, or written a poem. Work is the great happiness bringer. You all know what a game of nine pins is. You set up so many pins, and you roll two balls, and you make a “strike’”’ or a ‘‘spare,” or else you don’t. The game is to knock over as many pins as poscible. Men become very skillful in it and gain a great deal of pleasure by doing it. That is the philosophy of all play. It is the erection of artificial difiicul ties or barriers and learning to over come them with ease and skill. That makes the exhilaration of tennis, and baseball, and bowling and golf. . I am told, and I do not know any thing about it myself, that therein lies the mania for making money. That is a great game. Now, in reality, work is just exactly the same thing. The difficulties to be over come are not artificial, to be sure, but very real. But they are there, and work is the game of bridging them over with skill and ease and joy. In its final analysis, for a healthy man there is no game in the world S 0 exciting and so exhilarating as his work. I suppose you long suffering folk who sit in the pews and are more or less at times tempt ed to somnolence, have never real ized that there was anything exciting about the preaching business. And vet I want to say to you that I know of no keener joy than when well and ready I take a theme and look it through and analyze it, and illustrate it, and mark out the points to be made in its illumina tion, and then sit down to write a sermon. Your fingers will not fly fast enough. If it turns out well there is a great exhilaration and state of happiness and joy. Making a sermon is a great game. Ivow the reason that there is so much happiness in work is because of this fact. All true work is a man expressing himself. We have gener ally thought that work is drudgery. We want to think about work as ex pressing a man’s message. Stephen son’s engine is Stephenson’s thought dressed up in steel; Tennyson's poem is Tennyson’s thought set down in letters; Watts’ “Hope’” is Watts’ heart hunger put on canvas; St. Paul’s is Sir Christopher Wren’s praise to God put into stone. Why, then, shall not the house builder make his house declare his thoughts? Why shall not the blacksmith make his hammer and anvil express his hope? Why shall not the farmer pub lish his secret? Almost any man can learn the technical part of any work from, carpentry to poetry—but no man hath mastered a trade till it be comes a language through which he can express himself to all men. O, the drudgery of life lies in the fact that we bend above our work like dumb driven cattle with never a secret of our heart told in our work. And this shall be the joy of our life, that we make our vocation proclaim to all the world the truth that God hath put into our hearts! The Narrow Way. 4 Matt. 7:13, 14, Narrowness is Christ's idea of the way of life, a straitened way, the way of truth. For a moment pause and ask: Could it be otherwise? It is 11 o'clock, the orthodox regulator at the watchmaker’'s points with exactness to that hour. “Very narrow,” exclaim all the cheap timepieces of the neigh borhood, and they persistently point to all hours from 9.30 to midday, but their boasted liberality is only inex actress, which is another word for untruth. 2 So orthodoxy in the harbor channel marks with exactness each rock of sunken hulk, and puts its danger sig nals out. A liberal pilot might be careless of these signals, but the pas senger would prefer that the pilot should be overcautious rather than too liberal.—H, E, Partridge, Pomo na, Tenn, A Prayer. | Grant, we beseech Thee, O Lord, the Giver and Guide of all reason, that we may always be mindful of the nature, of the dignity, and of the privileges Thou hast honored us with, CGrant us Thy favorable assistance in the forming and directing our judg ment, and enlighten us with Thy ! truth, that we may discern thnse‘ things which are really good, and, having discovered them, may love and cleave steadfastly to the same. | And, finally, disperse, we pray Thee, those mists which darken the eyes of | our mind, so that we may have a per- | sect understanding, and know both God and man, and what to each is due. — Simplicius (translated b)" George Stanhope, Dean of Canters bury, 1704). Commit Yourself to God, Cries for things past that cannot be remedied and care for things to come that cannot be prevented may easily hurt, but can never benefit me. 1 will, therefore, commit myself to God in both and enjoy the present,— Joseph Hall, Commissioner Smith vs. The Standard oil Co. Mr. Herbart Knox Smith, whosa zeal in the cause of economic reform has been in no wise abated by the panic which he and his kind did so much to bring on, is out with an an swer to President Molifett, of the Standard ' Oil Company of Indiana. The publication of this answer, it is officially given out, was de layed several weeks, “for business reasons,” because it was not deemed advisable to further excite the public mind, which was profoundly disturbed by the crisis. Now that the storm clouds have rolled by, however, the Commissioner rushes again into the fray. Our readers remember that the chief points in the defence of the Standard Oil Company, as presented by President Moffett, were, (1) that the rate of six cents on oil from Whiting to East St. Louis has been is sued to the Standard Oil Company as the lawful rate by employes of the Alton, (2) that the 18-cent rate on file with the Inter state Commerce Commission was a class and not a commodity rate, never being intended to apply to oil, (3) thgyt oil was shipped in large quantities between Whiting and ast St. Louis over the Chicago and Eastern Illinois at six and one-fourth cents per hun dred pounds, which bhas been filed with the Interstate Commerce Commission as the law ful rate, and (4) that the 18-cent rate on oil was entirely out of proportion to lawiul rates on other ecommodities between these points of a similar character, and of greater value, such, for example, as linseed oil, the lawful rate ‘on which was eight cents. President Moffett also stated that thousands of tons of freight had been sent by other shippers be tween these points under substantially the same conditions as governed the shipments of the Standard Oil Company. This defence of the Standard Oil Company was widely quoted and has undoubtedly ex erted a powerful infiluence upon the public mind. Naturally the Administration, which has staked the success of I{ts campaign ~against the “trusts’ upon the result of its at tack upon this company, endeavors to offset this influence, and hence the new deiiverance of Commissioner Smith. We need hardly to point out that his re huttal argument is extremely weak, although as strong, no doubt, as the circumstances would warrant. He answers the points made by President Moffett substantially as follows: {1) The S.andard Oil Company had a traffic ! department, and should have known that the six-cent rate had not been filed, (2) no an swer, (3) the Chicago and Eastern Illinois ,rate was a secret rate because it read, not ‘from Whiting, but from Dolton, which is described as ‘“‘a village of about 1,500 popu lation just outside of Chicago. Its only ~claim to note is that it has been for many years the point of origin for this and similar . gecret rates.” The Commissioner admits in describing this rate that there was a nowe attached stating that the rate could also be used from Whiting. ; The press has quite generally hailed this statement of the Commissioner of Corpora tions as a conclusive refutation of what is evidently recognized as the strongest rebuttal .argument advanced by the Standard. In fact, it is as weak and inconclusive as the remainder of his argument.

They terminate at Dolton, from which point entrance is made over the Belt Line. Whiting, where the oil freight originates, is not on the lines of the Chicago and Kastern [linois, which receives its Whit ing freight from the Belt Line at Dolton. The former practice, now discontizued, in filing tariffs was to make them rend from a point on the the line of the filing road, and it was also general to state on the sams sheet, that the tarif® would apply to other points, e. g., Whiting, The Chicago and Rastern Ilinois followed this practice in filing its rate from Dolton, and making a note on the gheat that is applied to Whiting. This was in 1895 when this method of filing tariffs was in common use. Now let us see in what way the intending shipper of oil could be misled and deceived by the fact that the Chicago and Eastern Illinois had not filed a rate reading from Whiting. Commissioner Smith contends that ‘‘concealment is the only motlve for such a circuitous arrangement,” i, e,, that this method of filing the rate was intended to mislead intending competitors of the Stand ard Oil Company. Suppose such a prospec tive oil refiner had applied to the Interstate Commerce Commission for the rate from Chicago to Kast St. Louis over trs Chicago and Eastern [llinols, he would have been in formed that the only rate filed with the commission by this company was 6%. cents from Dolton, and he would have been further informed, if {ndeed he did not know this al ready, that this rate applied throughout Chi cago territory. So that whether he wished to locate his plant at Whiting, or anywhere else about Chicago, under an arrangement of long standing, and which applies.to all the indus trial towns in the neighborhood of Chicago, he could have his freight delivered over the Belt Line to the Chicago and Eastern Illinois at Dolton and transported to Kast St. Louis at a rate of 614 cents. Where then is the concealment which the Commissioner of Cor porations makes so much of? Any rate-— from Dolton on the Eastern Illinois or Chap pell on the Alton, or Harvey on the Illinois Central, or Blue Island on the Rock Island, applies throughout Chicago territory to ship ments from Whiting, as to shipments from any other point in the district. So far from the Eastern Illinois filing its rate from Dol ton in order to deceive the shipper, it is the Commissioner of Corporations who either be trays his gross ignorance of transportation customs in Chicago territory or relies on the public ignorance of these customs to deceive the public too apt to accept unquestioningly every statement made by a Government official as necessarily true, although, as in the present instance, a careful examination shows these statements to be false. The final point made by President Moffett that other commodities of a character similar to oil were carried at much lower rates than 18 cents, the Commissioner of Corporations discusses only with the remark that ‘“the ‘reasonableness’ of this rate is not in ques tion. The question is whether this rate con stituted a discrimination as against other shippers of oil,”” and he also makes much of the failure of President Moffett to produce before the grand jury evidence of the alleged illegal acts of which the Standard Oil official said that other large shippers in the terri fertilizer.

Considering the fact that these shippers included the packers and elevator men of Chicago the action of the grand jury in calling upon President Moffett to furnish evidence of their wrong-doing may, be Interpreted as a demand for an elabora tion of the obvious; but the fact that a rate-~ book containing these freight rates for other shippers was offered in evidence during the trial and ruled out by Judge Landis, was kept out of sight. President Moffett wounld not, of course, accept the invitation of the grand jury although he might have been pardoned if he had referred them to various official investigations by the Interstate Com merce Commission and other departments of the Government, We come back, therefore, to the conclusion of the whole matter, which is that the Stand ard Oil Company of Indiana was fined an! amount equal to seven or eight times the. value of its entire property, because its trafiic department did not verify the statement of’ the Alton rate clerk, that the six-cent com-. modity rate on oil had been properly filed with the Interstate Commerce Commission, There is no evidence, and none was intro=-. duced at the trial, that any shipper of oil. from Chicago territory had been interfered:! with by the eightecn-cont rate nor that the . failure of the Alton to file its six-cent rate bhad résulted in any discrimination against | any independent shipper,—we must talke this on the word of the Commissioner of Cor porations and of Judge Landis. Neither ls it | denied even by Mr. Smith that the “inde pendent’” shipper of oil, whom he pictures as \ being driven out of business by this discrime ! ination of the Alton, could have shipped all the oil he desired to ship from Whiting via Dolton over the lines of the Chicago and astern Illinois to Kast St. Louis. In short, ' President Mofleti's defence ig still good, and we predict will be declared so by the higher court, ( The Standard Oil Company has been charged with all manner of crimes and mig demeanorsg. Beginning with the famous Rice of Marijetta, passing down to that apostle of popular Ilibertles, Henry Demarest Lloyd, with his Wealth Against the Commonwealth, descending by easy stages to Miss Tarbell's offensive personalities, we finally reach the . nether depths of unfair and baseless mig representation in the report of the Commis sioner of Corporations. The Standard has ' been charged with every form of commercial piracy and with most of the crimes on the corporation calendar. After long years of strenuous attack, under the leadership of the President of the United States, the corpora tion is at last dragged to the bar of justice to answer for its mlsdoings. The whole strength of the Government is directed against it, and at last, we are told, the Standard Oil Com pany is to pay the penalty of its crimes, and it is finally convicted of having failed to verify the statement of a rate clerk and is forthwith fined a prodigious sum, measured by the car. Under the old criminal law, the theft of property worth more than a shilling was punishable by death, Under the inter pretation of the Interstate Commerce law by Theodore Roosevelt and Judge Kenesaw Landis, a technical error of a trafilc official is made the excuse for the confiscation of a vast amount of property, .
