EMPLOYERS AND EMPLOYEES
Discussion by Rev. MIR. McAIlister at
Pine street Church.

Rev. 4. S. j. McAllister, pastor of thu
Pine Street Methodist Episcopal church
spoke last evening ON tho general sub
jsct of applied Christianity" This wa
the third sermon In very interesting
series which is being preached by hin
and the relations OF employe and employer
were specifically dwelt on.
His first though was the limited mum.
Der Of Independent laborers A few year.
ago each man could employ himself. The
order of things has been changed Most
men now depend upon others for employ
ment or for the most part on great insti-
buttons, such as corporations, trusts, syn
dictates, etc.
He then took up the thought of the cap
italized value Of man. Machinery rep
resents capital which the individual
or corporations must invest-whereas tn,
laborer furnishes his own capital and re-.
ceives In return for brain and Drawn o
very limited interest.
He then showed how little value EN-
ployers, in most instances, put upon their
employees and therefore how little cars
they have for their well being. and tola
the story of a certain prominent busin ,ss
man in Boston who was asked how Il
happened that he lavished SO much cart
ON his horses and neglected his men, re-
piled. "horses cost money, we can get
men,"
The preachers next point WIS that
Jesus would teach the employer his duties
towards his employees and he quoted from
scripture. ''as ys would like that others
would do unto you. do you so unto
them" Christ reckoned that all materi-
al goods were a gift OF His HeayenI,
Father and ours TO all men for their com
mon use. therefore NO one may appropri-
ate an abnormal amount of these materi.
al goods to himself.
II We are not equally entitled to the use
OF the natural resources. We must be
severally entitled to what we each make.
Jesus would also establish honesty and
justice between the employer and mis-
employees. The speaker used justice In
its purely economic sense. His conolud.
ing thought was that Jesus emphasized
the superiority of the mainland not OF
his possessions-We have fallen upon
times when TO get for the sake of the gain
mas become great virtue with people
who look upon possessions as paaking the
man. In our country theoretically we
are all equal, but we are developing an
aristooracy greater than which the world
never saw.
So 1t has come to pass that men appro-
priating the quintssssnce of the sweat and
blood of his fellows rise from the lower
walks of life TO join the increasing army
of the plutocrats. and 30 1t has come to
pass In q government where all are uomi-
ally free and where all should have an
equal chance that few are now sway ing
the destinios OF all.
The remedy for. all this evil the speak.
or reserved to a future sermon.

referred to u ruling Of the Supreme court
