SHOP TALK OX
CONQUEST OF T"KAK
An interesting shop meeting was con
ducted Tuesday noon at the Richmond
Radiator Company by the T. M. C. A.
The speaker for the noon hour was
Rev. Charles H. Ricketta, who, in a
forceful manner, told the men to "Fear
Not," if, they desired to become leaders.
His address in part was as follows :
Yesterday was Christmas day. In
some form or other the great festival
was celebrated in all civilized coun
tries, and to some extent larger, per
haps than wo think in all the great
pagan lands. It seems fitting, then, that
my message to you today should have
its inspiration in what is confessedly
the greatest event in the history of
mankind.
Now I am not going to preach even a
short Christmas sermon here to you to
day, but I am going to talk on a theme
that js closely connected with Christmas;
it is the conquest -of fear. It was the
first word uttered by the angel when
he announced to th9 shepherds tha great
event of Bethlehem. And that i first
word was the key note of the coming
power which was to emancipate human
ity from that great enemy, Fcar
But why did the angel tell these shep
herds not to fear? There was certain
ly nothing In the tidjngs he had to re
late that should make them afraid. Peo
ple generally are startled by what is
seemingly supernatural. The hour is
midnight, calm, probably dark, into the
midst of which there suddenly ' came
a clear, bright light. They knew it
came from neither sun, moon, nor star.
and in this universal light the angel
appeared and spoke to them. Suppose
the same experience should come to us
on a dark night, possibly, we, too,
would be "more afraid." Remember
that this was a great age for supersti
tion and that tbse shepherds, being
plain, common, uneducated people, were
likely to believe the current opinions in
regard to supernatural visitations. And
hence the angel seeks to quiet them by
saying, : Fear not. From what fol
lows itr is quite clear that the shep
herds were completely won over, and
the calming of their fears evidently came
from the consciousness that the Lord
had sent them- a mesage.
Am 1 wrong in saying . that fear is
one of the greatest enemies to both in
dividual and community advancement'
Think of the man who is afraid to
utter what he honestly believes ought
to be said. Is not such a man mere
ly a namby pamby non-entity? Would
the awful, curse of slavery .have been
rooted out of our national life, if men
like Beechcr, Phillips.- Lemner and otli
era of like spirit had not thundered
against it in the teeth of the most vi
olent opposition? The "fear not" of
Bethlehem stood by them during the
holy crusade. ......
wnen in isit the call came verv
loudly to defend civilization, the young
men of, the country were at 'once di
vided into three classes: First, those
who were necessary workers who had
to stay at home because they had rela
tives dependent upon them-; secondly, the
heroes who volunteered for service, and
thirdly, the slackers, those who moved
heaven and earth to escape defending
their coun try. Now the difference be
tween these last two classes, the ' he
roes and slackers is -fear. .
' Suppose the great "captains of . in
dustry" had been timid men, afraid to
branch out in new and untried chan
nels of trade, America would not have

irom it derives a fair, income. The
other man takes his SIO.SSO and hides
it. in a mattress or in an old boot for
safety, which is safe until some one
bats him over the head and takes the
money. 1 ask what is the difference
between those two men? The word fear
explains it. Is' it not . true that the
knowledge 6f protection -banishes -the
sense of fear? For instance, if you
have funds invested in our . government
security, yon need to have no fear for
their safety, for nothing on earth te
safer. That Is why I say knowledge of
protection banishes, the sense of fear. -
Now the consciousness of being under

out of us. May I give you an illustra
tion of this taken from my early life?

To me It was a mountain. But father
