"Are there any astronomical mean of
positively ascertaining which of the seven
days is the last day of the week? a W.
a."
The week is not one of the natural di
vision of time, like the dy (measured
by the earth's rotation on Ita axis); the
n,onth (measured by the moon' revolu
tion around th earth), and the year
(measured by the earth's revolution
around the sun). Nevertheless, the seven
day period called a wee ha been in use
from th tiro immemorial. The names of
the day of the week and the order of
their occurrence ar of unknown, but
probably astrological, origin.
Th names are based on those of the
sua and the moon and th ftv planet
known to the anclenta (excluding th
earth). Sunday la the aun'a day; Mon
day, th moon' day; Tuesday Mar's day;
Wednesday Mercury's day; Thursday
Jupiter day; Friday Venus' day, and
Saturday 8aturn' day. The question of
the order In which the day stand In
the weekly round la historical, not scien
tific. The sun' day seems always to
have led the procession, and Hatcrn's to
have ended It, but nobody knows exactly
why. Plutarch, even in hi etime, won
dered why the order of the days of the
week had not been made lo foUow that
of the distances of the planets.
Very likely the variation was based
upon some astrological superstition. The
early Christians sdopted the week as
they found it, almpiy changing th name
of th un'a day to th Lord's Day.

By DR. CHARLF.S n. PRKHURST.

I and youi.g women who work for a living,
! and its object Is to indicate to them the
part which wcrk plays cr ought to play In

fine and effective
style of manhood and
womanhood.
Work is not ai

divine economy be

hne It done, but be
cause He knows we
need to have It to do.
The fact should be
conceded that work,
in itelf considered,
Is neither moral nor

nor irreligious. That,
however. In no way
counts ' against thia

I'lays a recognlxably
large role in the economy of life, and
stands In direct relation to human char
acter and to the achievement of character.
The flrot gift beet owed upon Adam
was the gift of employment. Th only
change consequent upon ' his expulsion
' from the garden was that before expul-
slon he accepted the work gratefully, and
after expulsion perspired under It grudg
'lngly. But before, as well a after. It
1 wa ordained to be an essential element
In the scheme for human upbuilding and
Infilling.
t Faul's word I that "If a man will
not work neither shall he eat." To work,
however, merely with a view to earning a
living, extracts from work Ita principal
significance. It certainly helps t keep
out and body together but there is no
observable advantage In being kept to
gether unless ooul is going to win some
thing by the arrangement.
Ufa has it animal aide, undoubtedly,
and deserve a certain amount of sec
ondary respect- We feel for that restless
and dissatisfied element of .the com
munity that - complains of its lack of
creature comforts; but our sympathy
would take a different complexion, and
be possessed of somewhat more warmth,
if it wer more vtdent that while there
i wanted (and needed) a fuller participa
tion In bodily satisfactions, there were
at least equally desired an opportunity
to come to one's beat ia those respects
wherein a man Is something more than a
human body.
This method, therefore, of handling tho
question of work Involves us in no econ
omic problem. It has nothing to do with
what work yields in the shape of wages.
For work means something more and
quite other than the, dollars a man car
ries home after a day' toll. It doe not
always, hut it ought to. For. saving
nothing of the fact that ' a man who
labors only for the money that is given
him In return Is a poor workman, the
more serious fact la that. If laboring with
that spirit, he misses the very purpose
that was In God's mind in putting him in
a workaday world.
It Is tor that reason that tena of
thousand of our young men and young
women, who labor ten hour a day, five
and a half days a week, and fifty weeks
In the year, have nothing to show for it
all, so tar as relates to the benefits in
tended to accrue to them by the original
divine Institution of an economy of labor.
Some of you voeng people, snd perhaps
older ones, have never thought of it in
that way. More Is the pity. Tou hav
though only of the wage aide of the
transaction. There is no exception to be
taken to waes. That the laborer Is
worthy f 1.1s hire Is good, scripture. But
wages. If that ia all that hae resulted to
you from your work, leaves you at the
end of the year where you were when
the year began, with only enough com
ing to you in the way of board and lodg
ing, clotnes and the like to keep you on
your Job. WJiat is the advantage really
of tolling through twenty, forty, fifty
years of lolioioiis existence and eomfn?
out at the end personally untouched and
unbettered by a quarter of naif century
of wearinees and wear?
