RELIGIOUS CONTROVERSY IN
FRANCE.
FRANCE,

We know comparatively little about
the issues that led to the separation of
church and state, In France; but, so
far as the present controversies in
that country, over the subject matter
are concerned we are decidedly of
opinion that the equities strongly pre-.
ponderate in favor of the church au-
thorities. BY peremptory expelling
from France, the vatican's representa-
tive, the powers that be in that coun.
try, have committed an unfortunate
act. They simply demonstrate to the
world, that in this Twentieth entury
OF civilization, they adhere to methods
of settling civil controversies that
would be a reflection upon the dark
ages.
The present incumbent of the papal
chair Is one of the most reasonable
and conservative Of men, and these
qualities, coupled with the highest
scholarship and experience, ought GER
tainly to entitle his opinions and de-
cisions to a better consideration at the
hands of the French authorities, than
has been accorded them.
The French government, no doubt,
has the right to separate the tie be-
tween church and state; but neither
reason nor common sense would say
that such right would justify acts of
oppression and injustice to be perpe-
trated upon the church or its property.
Evidently; the French political party,
now In power, deems the act of separa-
ton as giving them a sort of license
to treat the church much in the same
manner that a medieval conqueror
would treat defeated foe.
The pope, as we understand it, de-
clines even to parley with such a
theory of the case, and insists that the
act of separation puts both parties on
their equities-giving to God the
things which are Gods, and to Caesar
the things which are Caesars.
To an American the attitude of the
pope is absolutely unassailable. and
whatever may be the outcome of the
present controversy, the unbiased
Judgment of the world, Catholic and
Protestant, will favor the pope's con.
tention In the present crisis.

like this: THAT is an odd question

There are great hardships, exposure

Individual lays all upon the altar Of

for what you can give. We have no

TENDENCY OF unions
MAKE WORLD BETTER
Ella Wheeler Wilcox Tells Of
Progress of Labor Through
Trade Unions.
Something of the Early Agitar
ton in England for Child
Labor Laws.
(By Ella Wheeler Wilcox.)

" (By Ella Wheeler W1lcOX.)
Whatever may be the misde-
meanors and offenses of organized
labor we must not forget what
it has accomplished for humanity.
In the early part Of the last
century children of six and eight
years of age were lowered 900
feet below the earth. in England
and compelled to labor in the dark
twelve and fourteen hours day.
AT first candle was given the
younger children, but after they
became accustomed to the darkness
OF the mines this expense was
avoided. ~.
The first time in history that
the public ever dared ask .parlia-
ment for laws to; protect women
and children was 1.-the, year. of our
Lord 1900, after an epidemic. & OF
fever among; E these underground
workers. The ~ protection which
parliament accorded was to restrict
the hours Of slabo & Tor child ren to

years when a child might be en-
ployed. This action of the people
of England was the beginning Of
organized protest against estab-
lished customs. X .'.
However bad the conditions In
England may be today from the
tyranny Of labor unions, they are
certainly Elysians compared to
those which existed before labor
unions were known,
Yet prominent Christian people
denounced the action of the gov
ernment when it first began to
legislate on the age and hours for
children to labor, saying 1t had no
right to interfere with the liberty
of the employer.
The efforts of Miss Dreler and
Miss Barnum and other philan-
thropic women Of fashion to or
ganize the working women of the
land may meet with similar protest
from tradition, but only by or
ganized effort can the abuses which
| still exist In overtaxing the strength
| of women and children for the bene
fits of greed be .oyerthrown. TS'

The religious instinct is very strong
in man. Even the atheist who disbe-
lleves in it, cannot refrain from talk
ing about it. The recognition of some
thing above and beyond himself, seems
to be an attribute of mans nature, To
satisfy this feeling of the SOUL relig-
1ous systems have been formulated. in
all ages, each protesting to furnish a
solution Of the wonderful problem of
human existence, it's meaning, purpose
and destiny. But, not until the advent
of the Christian religion, was there
diffused among men a pure, benev.
client and universal system of ethics.
Neither freedom, nor virtue, has anv
vigor or immortal hope, except in the

life OF this age, is physically in
furious, mentally depressing, and
morally degrading. The noblest
work of God is sacrificed to the
meanest work of man..
Our Industrial, economical, social
and political conditions are sadly
out of alignment with the spirit of
! the gospel. The grievances with
which men, women and children are
burdened' under such unhappy and
unholy state of affairs, are crying
to heaven for relief, and unless we
heed the cries of the oppressed.

such Indifference in consequence

ton of the problem, and that is
to accept the Lord Jesus Christ.
with all that such acceptance i'm
plies.
We do not pretend to give the
preachers words, but the foregoing
is fair summary of the substance
OF his remarks. Without desiring
to take issue. in any degree with
the preachers theory, we would
respectfully suggest:
First.-Christ had and ALWAYS
will have a forerunner to prepare
the way of the Lord and make the
paths straight.
Second.-The labor movement is
actively engaged in doing that very
work, along Industrial, economical,
social and political lines. Why.
therefore, do not the preachers
give this movement the credit which
Is Justly its due? May not the
ignoring Of conditions precedent, by
the clergy, be the cause of the i'll
success, that thus far, has attended
their efforts to bring the laboring
class to Christ.

request of a number of our lady read

lively to the discussion of social moral.
economical, industrial and other prob
lens and topics from the ladies' point
OF view. For purposes of easy refer
ence the column shall be entitled
"Woman's Department" We hope the
good women who urged us to this de-.
parture, or rather inclusion, will avail
themselves of the full measure of their
privileges in our next issue. All mat
ters for publication must be in the

faith Is manifest, publication is as

lady readers, north, south, east and

nation abounds

THAT SERMON.

On last Sunday, we listened to
discourse in one of our citv
churches, on the remedy for the
universal WEAKNESS that pervades
every phase of the labor problem
IN every department OF human, en-
deavor. The sermon was from the
text: Come unto me all We that
labor and are heavy laden and ]
will give We rest"
The high pressure, over reaching
and over doing activity, that char.
Eacterizes the excessively strenuou,
The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1906-12-22

1t admits of all correct ways and
methods Of true pleasure, for "he1
ways are ways Of pleasantness and all
her paths are peace"
Our devout puritan forefathers, in
the New England states, or rather In
the Highlands of Scotland, for locality
cuts no figure, although actuated, no
doubt, by we'll enough motives, did
their unskilful part to give an Ill
relish to the joys and pleasures of re.
ligion; and we their descendants, have
not entirely recovered from the stupid
philosophy. Long faces, nasal twangs,
and hundred other mannerisms, are
no longer considered as emanating
from the pure fountain Of truth. The
rust of superstition, with which the
accumulated absurdity Of the human
mind, had crusted over the religion of
the gospel. iserapidly being RELOCATED
to its native absurdity; and with our
advancing civilization, good and true
men everywhere are becoming more
and more Of one religion in fact, how
ever different may be their denom-
national preferences.
There was a time, and that not so
far distant either, when the observ-
ance of Christmas Day was considered
by certain religious fanatics as savor-
Ing OF idolatry. But, happily, under
the influence of that Light which
shineth more and more unto the per-
feet day, that time has passed away,
and we hope, never to return. Let
the Day be celebrated in a. manner
befitting the commemoration of the
greatest work that the Creator has
ever accomplished to our KNOWLEDGE.
Let cottage and let steeple be thank
full and rejoice, and woods and hills
and valleys reecho the glad voice."
Gratitude is the homage the heart
renders to God for his goodness, and
cheerfulness is the external nantes
tation of that homage. Let there be
gladness and cheerfulness in the home
on this natal day. The place to spend
a Merry Christmas is in the family
consecrated by paternal love; by the
innocence and sports of childhood:
and by an abiding conviction of the
goodness of the Creator, and the boun-
tiful dispensations of his Providence.
These, coupled with generous con-
Germ for the good of mankind, should
warm our affections to the summit of
highest enjoyment.
To our supporters and sympathizers
in the Labor movement we sincerely
wish that they and theirs may have
happiness without alloy; to those who
are not yet Of Labor's allegiance, we
can, In common with all true Labor re-
formers, without reserve or rancour.
heartily wish them one and all, A
MERRY CHRISTMAS.
