Exercise 3

Underscore all verbs and verb phrases in the following quotation:

+The Dream of Labor+: Ours is not the cause of one class, of one sex, of

one tribe, of one city, of one state, of one continent.

It is the wish for a better world where Man shall be Man; where the

beast shall become subdued; where everything shall lead to complete

development; where the good of each shall be bound up in the good of

all; where all shall feel the sorrows of each and shall run to his

rescue.

A glimpse of this ideal takes us into the Land of Promise, where peace

and plenty shall reign supreme; where brothers shall no longer battle

among themselves, but for one another; where the atmosphere shall be

laden with love, the love that saves; where the hate that kills shall be

unknown; where heart and brain shall work together and shall make life

better and more complete; where the fullness of life shall be for all

and where men and women shall be as happy at their work as little

children at their play.

The mere glimpse into that land makes life worth living, makes work

worth doing, makes dreams worth dreaming, gives us hope and faith--the

faith we need in the labor for our cause, the faith which shall help us

win.--_Oscar Leonard_.
