THE Redeemer of mankind has never conferred a greater temporal blessing on the human race than by ennobling and sanctifying labour, and by rescuing it from the stigma of degradation that had been branded upon it.  The primeval curse attached to labour has been obliterated by the toilsome life of Jesus Christ.  He has shed a halo around the workshop and has lightened the mechanic's tools by assuming the trade of an artisan.
