The Carpenter of Nazareth
Poem★★★No workingman today should fail to see the benefits
he has derived from the Carpenter of Nazareth, who dig-
nified labor and made it honorable. Had no Christ come
labor today would still be ignoble and the workingman
a slave.
The point
Christ dignified labor by becoming a carpenter and made work honorable; without Christ, work would still be slavery.
