President Eliot of Harvard, who recently
sounded tho praises of hard work, has
since had his opinions enthusiastically sup
ported by Bishop Potter. The bishop re
gards labor as a sweet boon, aad ln ad
dressing an audience of working women the
other day said to them: "I hope you
recognize the great privilege ef toil," ad
ding. "Happy nation, happy men and
women who have work to do, and do lt!"
This is all very well In its way. but such
remarks from such men can really ' have
but little Influence on the people who do
work In making them regard their toll as
blessed Every mature person of common
sense knows lt to be true that work, es
pecially congenial work, Is a thing to be
welcomed for many reasons other than tbe
monetary recompense President Eliot, who
Is a worker, and Bibbop Potter, who else
works, knew this. With all due respect to
them, however, they and their kind do not
work as men and women do whose dally
bread depends upon their constant toll, and.
therefore, their sense of work's bleasednesa
is not likely to be appreciated by the mul
titude of toilers. Few persons who labor
complain of their toil because lt is toll:
they accept it as a matter of course, as a
part ot what life deals out to them. It
they are unablo to feel the bishop's enthu
siasm it is because they are not free to
vary their work, the are tied to it year In
and year out; they cannot eacape from it
except at the risk of pinching poverty to .
themselves and their families. There are ,
no summer vacations for them, so trips j
south In winter, no tours of Europe, no i
running away to springs or seashore "for ,
a little rest." President Eliot may work ;
sixteen hours a day, as he says, but he does :
not do It of necessity 300 days iu the year. I
Nor doea BUbop Potter. When either ef
them is worn or weary, he calls a halt and
recuperates. It Is the ability to do .his,
the certainty that tbey can do this without
loss to themselves or others, that causes
tb work they like to seem so blebsed. It
is this lack of freedom to move about and
to enjoy repose when repose would be wel
come, this necessity of working when work
is s burden, that s the chief sling ef pov
erty, and nothing the volunteer worker, as
he might be called, may say to tbe toller
from necessity can alter this ftct or make
unrcmlttios labor seem a Joy and s

which has been translated by Dr. William

of the original. The translation follows:
Leo, now seU thy sun; pale is lta dying ray;
Black night succeeos my auy.
Black night for thee; wasted thy frame;
life s Hood sustains
No more thy shrunken veins.
Death easts his fatal dart; robed for tho
grave thy oonea
Lie under tbe cold stones.
But my freed soul escapes her chains, and
longs ln flight
To reach tbe realms of light
That ia the goal she seeks; tnitner ner
Journey fares;
Grant, Lord, my anxious prayers.
That, with the citizens of Heaven, God's
race ana ngnt
May ever thrill my sight;
That I may see thy face. Heaven's Queen,
whose mother love
Haa brought me home above.
To then, saved through the tangles of a
perilous way.
I lift my grateful lay.
