G. Doris. By THOMA8 TAPPER. “There must be hewers of wood and drawers of water.“ L . The social reformer who preaches the abolition of menial work, setting up a little Utopia In which, we all are to eat fruit and drink ambrosia, is nothing less than a first-class confidence man. lie la a dealer in green goods and gold bricks. What he calls menial work will always exist and some of us will have to do it. But— % The man to whose lot It falls need not be mean or menial. n. ennoble the kitchen. 1 The fact Is. the first woman took a de graded mind into the kitchen; the other took an understanding mind. She saw in clear vision that kitchen work and all of Its kind is a work of true service: It contributes Its indispensa ble quota to the comforts and necessi ties of life. All such work does. When a man preaches on Sunday we call him a minister. So llkswise let us call them ministers who contribute kitch en work and its kind seven days in the week. m. Wood must be hewn and water drawn. 8uch tasks can appeal to the fun ca pacity of a man’s power to do. Lacking the capacity to do he does not see things In true relation. Then he Is degraded and If he Is imaginative he may become a social reformer. It is all In the point of view. It con sists either in seeing the task clearly and permitting It to call you out fully; or in not seeing it clearly and bluffing It thru any way and any how. Don't join clubs for the Improvement of. society until you have made it a habit to withdraw Into your closet, there to pray for light and to fight for the su premacy of your common sense. It la within you somewhere. Find it and put it It is grant in true relation to the world of men. things and duties. It is a fight becausn fear of It makes cowards of us all. Undertaken fearlessly It will teach us these things: out of the laborer. That when a laborer can manifest no bility while digging a ditch, he must nec- of the spirit within, and not by the Work wsll done Is the outer visible sym- 111 uveil uiiu worsen, a pronounced It good. 80 may the spirit of man move and work; and all men will look upon his work and pronounce .It good. The only menial quality about menial work Is the menial mind of the one who rebels at the Justice and necessity of do ing It. When you want to pray enter Into your closet.
