THE STRUGGLE UPWARD.
It isn't so very long ago that an eastern
college president told us that the "scab" is
Use real American hero. AVell admit that
there is an occasional man. who, during a
strike, feels that he is justified in taking
his neighbor's job, while his neighbor is
lighting hard to improve not only his own
condition, but the condition of every man
in the craft, including that of the "scab"
who has taken his place. It may be he
roic in a sense, to face the wrath of one's
fellow-workers, because of necessity, or be
cause of the conviction that the fight is un
justifiable, anyway. I ean easily imagine
that some men have persuaded themselves
that they were right in assuming such an
attitude during an industrial warfare, and
that they were convinced that their action
was heroic.
Hut to characterize the average "scab"
as the great American hero is a slander
on the men who are really worthy of the
name. Far more heroic are the men who
are hard-pressed by necessity, but who
stand by their fellows and suffer with them,
fighting to the end if they are right, but
remaining out with them and trying to eon-

viuce them of their mistake, if they are
wrong.
Is anyone foolish enough to suppose that
men go out on strikes because they want
a holiday, or simply because their "walk
ing delegate" tells them to do so? It has
not been so in my experience. It requires
more heroism to remain out on a strike in
a just cause and suffer, than it does to
step in and take a striker's place.
And now the same eollege president who
lauded this American "hero" has come out
advocating-a new religion which is adapted
to a comfortable, well-fed class, that never
knew anything about the hard knocks of
the fellow who has been up against the
real thing. As in the ease of the striker,
so in the case of the average man this
great college president knows about as
much about human hope and need as the

average theorist who confines himself to
dry-as-dust books.
They study us as the entomologist studies
his eleven million bugs. They look upon
us most of these students of "so-see-olo-gee"
as automatons without blood or pas
sion, without life or soul. We are calmly
advised to "be good" and it will eome out
all right in the end, unmindful of the tug
and pull of a thousand imps of hell, or
the driving of a devil be he real or imag
inary who eompells us to sin and to fall,
in spite of our honest intentions.
To improve our condition material, or
spiritual means a eonstant struggle fight
ings within and without ivith all the
help that God can give ns. But left to
our own resources, most of us would make
a poor job of it. Flabby, bloodless men
may manage to get along without very
much help, insofar as they get along at all,
or those who were born with every incli
nation to do the right thing, although it
may be a tame thing but I take it that
most of us aren't built of that material.
It's all the time a question as to who is to
come out on top God or the Devil. And
it requires a supernatural power to win out.
It isn't all of life to fight, but fight we
must at times, and we all of ns "hate a
quitter." Rev. Charles Stelzle.
