A PREACHERS SIMPLICITY.

every person has respect for a
preacher Of the gospel. His position
carries with it reverence and esteem.
When one member Of the minister's
union asked another last Monday to
say something on the industrial ques-
ton, he replied by saying. that the
whole question could be settled by ac-
cepting the cross of Jesus Christ" An.
other very good meaning preacher said
tha' the question could never be set
tied: that there would always be a
struggle between the employing and
employed class. That moment he rec
ognized that it was class struggle
in which W, are engaged. We do not
presume for one moment that the gen.
tle'nan world carry ~ idea
it los conclusions. because
it would TEEN to much of radicalism,
and that would be very much against
his clergical grain. We travelled with
him as far as he went. but he stopped
anG left his hearers in doubt. He sat
down however, without arriving at a
conclusion.
Mr.. Quigley had tried to give some
reasons why the workingmen did not
attend church. and attributed it to the
fac: that workingmen were not recog-
nized in the church; they were not
given offices, and lot of other rot
like that
This changed the line. Of thought, and
some of the preachers attempted to ex-
plain. One: :of thesnssaids that he had
worked until the blood teen1ed from the
points of his fingers and made a num-
Der of other figurative expressions.
Others said that they would only be
too glad to have :1aboring men fill their
altogether too empty pews. But none
Of them seemed to strike the chord.
None Of them asked such men as DR..
Long why workingnnen didn't attend
church. They probably would have
secured some information had they
done so, because DR.. Longs church is
usually filled with the horny handed
sons O.: TOLL
The trouble with most preachers Is
that they have nothing to say to work
ingmen when they get them to church.
This thing Of saying, II am in SYM
pathy with the workingman, l ana in
sympathy with the employer" does not
| mean anything. 1t is a mere generality.
The workingmen want something more
tangible. They want to know where
the church stands on the labor ques-
ton, and if it is simply going to strad-
die it at all times, such as it is now
doing. When the preachers quit toady-
ing to the Ten with money and afflu-
! ence, and begin again to preach the
gospel Of Christ in It's true sense, then
will workingmen have something to do
with the church. Last week some OF
the preachers in their meeting even
went so far as to attempt to prevent
a free discussion of the labor question
from two Sides Their attempt failed
and then they asked that nothing be
said in the papers about it. All this is
indicative Of fear, and an exhibition OF
an attempt to curry favor with the
element in society who have the
"wherewith" to support the churches
in a somewhat better manner than the
workingmen can do. -.
