WAGE WORKERS AND The CHURCH
Rev. George M. Hickman States the Sit
uatlon and the Remedy


uatlon and the Remedy
Bev. George M. Hickman, pastor of
the First Presbyterian Church, preached
sermon on Wage Workers and the
Church of Christ" last evening. He
based his sermon on Matthew %; "a TO
40, the verses containing the commands to
Love the Lord thy God with all thy soul
and heart and mind, and thy neighbor as
thysely."
Mr. Hickman said that considering the
Importance Of the subject he had written
his sermon and would read it from manu-.
script.
The speaker asserted in opening that
the whole Bible and the commandments,
hung on two commands: Love to God, and
love to man. The former was theology,
the latter sociology On the latter he
would preach several sermons; next Sun
day night on the divorce question. He re-
! ferred to the fact that few wage workers
attend church, and dwelt upon that point
at length Wage workers and the church
are becoming more and more estranged.
and the latter must face the problem
Mr.. Hickman read extracts from q Chi
eago workingmans paper, to the effect
that wage workers will not attend
churches because they are made to feel
their poverty by rich dressing OF those
who attend and discourteous attention.
! The first reason for the alienation is In
the wage worker himself. Professor Ely
of Johns Hopkins University says that il
is because church people do not love wage
earners. One reason is because OF the
snobbery of church leaders Wickedness
in high places is not rebuked by the pnl-
/ raff - II 4
| Towards many suggested forms the
church takes practically negative atti-
tude. The church is scarcely heard
against Sunday work,
In spite of the discouraging outlook,
the speaker had hope Of the church and
gave the following remedies for the
tronble First, prayer that the church
and wage earners may be reconciled; sec
ond, wage earners should remember that
| all churches are not snobbish; third,
people should remember that any other
than plain clothing is wrong to wear in
church; fourth, the adjustment Of the
pew rent system is demanded No one
has right to special part Of God
house. As long as the system remains
no poor man will feel at home in the
house of God. A pew renter has no right.
Il - Aod ? oi6nly W puJ part OF Iut
church. No pew renting church will
ever reach the masses.
Mr. Hickman referred TO the envelope
system in use in his own church, by
which people can give as they can. His
fifth remedy was that wage workers
should in justice remember that Christ
was a carpenter and went amcng poor
people, not rich people; sixth, let every
Christian, poor and rich, 20 out and
invite the masses to come IL seventh,
live Christ in your factories, stores,
offices and shops and live Christ among
your associates. Let the people know
you love them and want them, and work
and speak for Christ in your shop anc
Office
Mr.. Hickman concluded by repeating
the hymn RESCUE the Perishing," tn,
sentiment Of which he said covered tn,
whole matter.

The Qualities of Pure water.

"Water" was the title, but not the sub
stance, of Professor Fava's lecture at the
Columbian University last night. He gave
very substantial description of the quail
ties Of pure water and how water becomes
polluted, illustrating with diagrams the eff
feet of cesspools, or Of miltrations of farm
refuse, factory refuse or cemeteries, upon
springs or especially shallow wells. He
then showed the poisoning of water by
lead pipes. He terminated with good
word for the American people, saying that
in this country people in large cities need
not be first talked into or obliged to have
a water supply or sewerage system against
their will, but that every little place, as
soon rs II feels able to, longs for these ncces-
sites of health and comfort, no matter what
personal sacrifices and taxation 1t entails.
