this would be a better time
to display a sample ot our
accomplishments during -the
year, and to give thanks for
the God-given gifts ot our
labors through hand and mind.
“Not the least of these is
Labor, where employment is
found and a man can earn
and provide for th e necessities
of life th a t will give him plea­sure
and satisfaction, and to
enable him to live in society on
a high social stan d ard ,” the
speaker said. "We must learn
