Paul had learned that there were some among the Christian folk of Thessalonica who were loafing, not working, "busybedies instead of busy." These were causing trouble, as idle people usually do.

"We did not loaf in your milst, we did rmot take free meals from any one; no, toilâ€" ing hard at our trade, we worked night and day, so as not to be a burden to any of you." Paul declares that they did this not because they had not the right to their support at the hands of the people whom they eerved in the gosâ€" pel, but because they wanted to eet a good example. They had said, in their teaching, "If a man will not Every Brother That Walketh Disorderly. 2 Thess. 3: 6â€"13. Moffatt gives the meaning more clearly as follows: "Brothers, we charge you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ to shun any brother who is loafing, instead of folâ€" lowing the rule you got from us." Paul was no loafer. In Thessalonica he and his companions worked at their ing. This is God‘s work, and in it there is no distinction of days, "The Sabbath," He said, "wes made for man, not mam for the Sabbath." It is well that we chould presrve it sacredly as a day of rest for the toilens, but we should beware of makâ€" ing Sabbath laws which are agains, and not for, human welfare. St. John 5: 17. In His ministry Jesus is still the workman. The Jews by a narrow interpretation of the Sabâ€" bath law had forbidden many kinds of laibor on the Eabbath, even the exercise of the healing art, except when it was necessary for the caving of a life. Jesus asserts His right to do good on the Sabbath day, and wo good on the Sabmath Cay, and especially to heal sickness and sufferâ€" preacher, Even then distinctions of labor were so marked that the people of Nazareth marvelled how it could be that the carpenter whom they knew should have become so wise and gifted a teacher. But that experience at the work bench had hrought Jesue very near to the heart of the great masses of the people, as it does to this day. ; It is equally true that Jesus worked with His hands to earn bread for Himself and those dependent upon Him, and that at the call of God He turned aside from that kind of work to another. He sets an example of toil both of hand and brain. He is Is Not This the Carpenter? St. Mark 6: 1â€"3. It is quite evident that Jesus had learned his trade in the shop of J?:Fh the carpenter of Nazareth. Ind every well brought up Jewish youth, in those days, was apprenticed to some craft or occupaâ€" tion, as Paul to that of tentâ€"making. It is quite possible that Jesus became the support of His mother and His The Bbke makes clear (1) the right and duty of every man to work, (2) the right of every man to the product of his toil subject always to the rights <A the community as a whole, (3) the rght and duty of ezvery man to lay up in store, for himself and his children, some part of that product, and (4) the right of every workman to the respect and honor which is his due.
