...nr,,can church Chronicle"

The April number OF this useful publ
cation has been received. The contents
are specially intended for the members
of the Anglican communion, but general
affairs are also discussed. For example,
there is an article on Socialism and
RELIGION having reference to recent |
events in England. We entirely dissent |
from the views therein expressed anu
the statement OF motive appears TO US 10
be entirely at variance with tact, at least
so far as the great mass OF the people
who made the labor display in LONDON
are concerned Doubtless considerable
number of the lawless class attached
themselves to the unemployed LABOR oe-
monstration and were guilty OF excuses,
inst as thieves and pickpockets attend
church fairs and even church services 70
pIv their dishonest vocation. But Is at
tendance at public worship to be con-
demned wholesale upon this account +:
It wonld be about as 10 egical and fair to
do this as to denounce the Hyde Park
gathering as being composed OF the
criminal element, led by atheists ana
,,l+ra-communists as the GA. G. Chron-
icle" has done That the bulk OF those
present were unemployed and destl'
tute,, cannot be doubted. So fully was
) this fact realized by the wealthy classes
l Of the British metropolis that over SZOO,
oOo were subscribed for the relief OF thu
unemployed in London within three
DAVIS But for this demonstration
I numbers. no relief would have beer
s forthcoming. 1t can serve no use1u
L nurpose even in Honolulu to mlsrepre
10 sent facts in England, and to cover IN
n social malfeasance of the rich and pow
d erful bv the jargon OF religious cant.
re there be one fact brought out strongf
> than another to-day, 1t is the systehlau
G. neglect of the condition OF the lndustr
" Gus and law-abiding classes OF Englan
y bv the property-owning, money-gettln
III law-making classes, who control
IT, avenues of employment whereby me

The Anglican Church has
