Labor Day and workers in God's kingdom
 What is Labor Day? This coming Monday is Labor Day!
How did it come about…what does it mean? Well, according to Samuel Gompers, founder and longtime president of the American Federation of Labor, "Labor Day differs in every essential way from the other holidays of the year in any country. All other holidays are, in a more or less degree, connected with conflicts and battles of man's prowess over man, or strife and discord for greed and power, of glories achieved by one nation over another. Labor day is devoted to no man, living or dead, to no sect, race, or nation."
Our Labor Day, the first Monday in September, is a creation of the labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of country.
