In high police circles woman's trait of courage that exceeds their physical strength is regarded as no new manifestation in the proverbially weaker 'toil" which is the "curse of their lives," while others, even more pitiable, regard labor with contempt and try to shut out the laborer from "good society." We read in a contem-'. porary that "much humbug is drooled about the 'dignity of There 13 a great deal more dignity in rest, People work because they have to, not because they want to.

To be sure, Borne folks pretend or really think that they do like work. Such a feeling, if genuine, Is a preversion arising habit. Not only i3 there no merit In work, but the institution itself has a disgraceful origin and rpring.3 from the crafty counsels of the serpent, more subtle than any beast cf the field, from the apple and lemlnino curiosity and Adam's inexperience. As a reminder and memorial cf original sin, labor and the I read eaten In the sweat of the face are justly painful to every sensitive. i The writer who so bitterly preaches rebellion against the richest and most Messed thing in life has not read his nible aright.

Work had no such origin as he describes. "In the beginning" Gcd himself set the example of work, and his great task was 3cne he looked his work over "and keholdjt was very good." He felt the satisf action which comes from work well done, and he "rested on tb.9' seventh day from all his work." The rery first gift to man, before sin was work. He was commanded "replenish the earth and subdue It." That mighty task has kept him busy from that day until now. Christ's word to man was, "My Father worketh hitherto and I work. The works that I do shall ye do also, md greater works than these shall do." Thus work had the loftiest possible origin, imparting to it a dig-ilty and nobility beyond measure.

Wrong View cf Work. When work might be made to fill! Ihe life with glory, Isn't it a pity that io many insist upon making it a irudgery and regarding it with gloom md hopelessness? "Where there is 20 vision the people perish." When 3nc3 the eye of the soul has beheld the vision, life and all it holds is Hard work becomes exhilarating pleasure; labor becomes service; obstacles become opportunities. The difference is in the worker rather than in the work.

Zook, and this week is putting enced officer, "I have noticed that women seemed always ready to help any one in apparent difficulties. Perhaps because they are weak themselves they are disposed readily to help Eide without thought of consequences to themselves." A highly interesting of this undoubted bravery in women was vouchsafed by J. W. Slaughter, the eminent English sociologist, who assigned female courage largely to the maternal instinct.

"Nothing on earth can be more ferocious, more dangerous and" more courageous than the fe male animal defending her young. The maternal instinct in woman is in itself an inspiration to courage. You will never see a woman on the edge of a crowd taking the side of the upper dcg. Women, moreover, act more directly than men. They are more impulsive and less calculating.
