Rev George d. Heron gave his an
swer to the query. How Can Society
become Christian" in sensational
Chicago Sunday paper yesterday. and
concluded by saying:
Can you imagine one viewing life as
Jesus viewed ii, one living in the state
of mind in which He lived, ono feeling
and acting as He felt and acted. giving
Himself to acquiring ownership of
things? No more than you can imagine
Jesus selling miracles for money. So
intensely did He believe that one could
be rich only by making others poor, SO
undertaking was His teaching that
property is robbery. that His soul and
His words seem always insurgent with
Indignation against the wealthy as a
class. No socialist was ever so class
conscious proletAire in his attitude
toward wealth as Jesus. am not say
ing that He was right in His idea Of in
! :auity Of private ownership, or that
THAT He sad is wise or practicable or
prudent. / am simply stating His atti-
iude of mind and word-an attitude per-
fectly obvious to any one who reads the
gospels with open eyes. II you think 1t
hateful and dangerous to thus state the
contradiction between private wealth
and Christian living. 1t Is Jesus you
must call to account, and not me. am
only ealing your attention to His
thought of the matter.
Let us agree that none of US is
Christian. that we all live by some kind
Of stealing or sponging, and that there
4 is no entire Individual extraction from
economic wrong until society Is ex-
tracted. But also let US quit our lying
and our pretense and frankly admit that
we can not be both rich and Christian.
whatever else ye may or may not be.
7 he facing OF naked truth about things
4 is one beginning OF Christian wisdom
and virtue"
