The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1902-09-22

The pastors of several of the local
churches delivered addresses last
evening relevant to the coming en-
ployer and employe convention. At
the Hennepin Avenue Methodist Epis-
copal church, Rev. DR.. S. D. Hutsin-
spiller on the Lights and Shades on
spiller spoke on the Lights and
Shades on the Labor Question; the
Higher View" He said in part:
"The chief cause of discord between
labor and capital is the fact that the
capitalist thinks he deserves all the
praise for the countrys prosperity,
while the laborer believes that to him
all the credit is due. The man who
works with his mind is just as much
of a laborer as the one who tolls with
his hands. Each is essential to society.
He who thinks that labor is greater
than capital or capital is greater than
labor is wrong.
Of Equal Value.
"As long as one and one and twice
one are the same, just so long will
the moneyed interests and the toilerS
be of equal value to the world.
Arbitration is the only sensible way
to nullify the present strife between
capital and labor. If the three evils
menacing labor that I have just nam
ed could be abolished there would be
no more strikes, all differences would
be settled amicably by this method.
However, we are gradually reaching
this ideal state and arbitration is
steadily gaining in vogue"
Eight Hours Enough.
Rev. ]. S. Montgomery spoke last
evening on the "Eight-Hour League"
at the Wesley M. E. church, First ave-
nue. and Grant street. In part ne SAID:
"Thee Eight-Hour league was Or
ganized for worthy purpose-to
shorten the days toll. A man can do
as much and better work in eight
hours as he can in ten. He has more
leisure and time for rent, and there
fore is better fitted to perform the
task set him when at labor. The plan
has been tried in London and other
foreign cities and proved a great sue
cess Why should not we adopt it
here?"
Labor and the Scriptures.
Rev. William Wilkinson, pastor of st.
Andrews Episcopal church. of Minneapo-
of employer and employee, devoted his
morning sermon yesterday to a consid--
Grafton of the Rights of the Workers"
viewed in the light of the Scriptures.
Speaking of the modern pride in the in
vestigation Of the labor question, he
said; ,o+ 80 .,,,n,, ,o,uo,,or +bo+ +be
subject has been overlooked in the past,
or that no enactments have been made
securing the worker against injustice,
greed and oppression. In the ten COM
mandments, the first and .wisest law. it
is written: Six days shalt thou labor and
do all thy work, but the seventh day is
the Sabbath in it thou shalt
not do any work
Thou shalt not Cypress the hireling in
his wages was stern command of God
Almighty long before leagues for the i'm
provement of the working classes were
ever thought of. In the days Of the
prophets it was said: The wages of him
that is paid shall not stay with thee till
the morning.
what we need is a trumpet call to
bark back to that first cry Of BROTHERHOOD
which in the very morning of recorded
history Job set forth in these words;
one fashioned both of u.s. Never till
this is recognized by both the man who
buys and the man who sells labor shall
we have rest.
ut is Important that we remember that
these principles are eternal realities as
lasting as the living God They They do not
jority votes, ecclesiastical or govern
mental authority. They are. part of the
living God. You cannot silence the cry
of justice by answering it's cry"
