A CHANGE OF BASE.

After twenty years Of service with
the State Journal company, Fred Bren-
ner mas made change and is now at
tne George Brothers printery. Fred
mas stood in the southwest corner of
ene journal job rooms SO long that he
wore half-dozen holes through the
moor. He made the change merely to
break the monotony. But even Fred's

The Fraterna1 Delegates Duty

There are about one hundred of
them, in as many cities-earnest min
listers of the Gospel, who are serving
in this capacity.
Among the first to be appointed was
the Rev. Warren H. Wilson of Brook
lyn, N. Y, who for something like a
year and a half has been attending the
meetings of the Central Labor Union
in his city.
Some time ago l asked him to tell
me what he considers the function of
the fraternal delegate. In part he an
swered me as follows:
"The delegate cannot by reason of
his membership in a union make con-
verts. This is out of the question. He
Is of course not restrained from it; but
he is not in any way assisted to it by
his place as fraternal delegate. What
he can do is, to express to laboring
men, in their general parliament of
labor in the locality the brotherly in
terest in their problem felt by the
religious body which he represents.
This service is most important; for the
time has come when bodies of men act
independently of one another, and the
community has no longer one forum
Men who are neighbors in person are
strangers in reality. Bodies of men
come to have group-opinions of one an
other. 1t is the business of the frater-
nal delegate to cultivate among labor
ing men cordial opinion of the
church.
His presence in the union is also
sort of publicity. He becomes party
to what is done; and serious, thought
full leaders of organized labor welcome
him, because his presence in their de-
liberations is an assurance to the pub
lie that things are not being planned
which are unworthy.
He should make it his practice to
speak well also of the union, if it is
deserving of praise, and of it's leaders;
and they will be found to be men, in
most places. better than the public
estimate of them. So far as he finds

Lillian Wathan, the daughter of Mr.

ill. Miss Lillian has been suffering
from an aggravated attack of intiam-
matory rheumatism for several weeks,
and for time her life hung in the bal

a change for the better has appeared,

ger although still very ill.

a serious purpose among them, he
should give it credit in public utter
ance and in writing. He should not
hesitate in the meetings of the union
to protest, remembering the courtesies
of his position, against proposals that
are unworthy.
Reports from him as to his local.
will always receive attention; and his
none the worse for the knowledge of
the activities of an earnest minister of
religion.
"The central labor union is the Ia
of the interests of the poor. 1t CORE
spends to the charity gatherings of the
rich and well-to-do, at which the same
interests are discussed, or at least the
state of the same people. Only in the
two cases the measures differ Organ
lied labor would ameliorate the condi-
tion of the poor by enabling them to
attain a state of self-respecting self
way of the rich, the employing class,
for the relief of the problem of pov-
erty. The labor union strives for the
solution of that problem
There is as much religion in one as
in the other II is we'll for the meet
ings of charitable assemblies that the
representatives of Christianity be
present; and it is well that they be
present at meetings of labor. 1t is a
rare opportunity to have five minutes
a week, in which to address men cap
able of leadership, of high devotion to
immaterial ideals, of faith or atheism,
of intellectual and social leadership.
Few ministers address such selected
audience.
These central labor unions are to
their members meetings Of almost a
religious value. They express the
idealism, the chivalry and the passion
of the present industrial contest. That
contest will be settled Alright only in
obedience to the true principles of the
religion of Jesus Christ."-Rev. Chas.
Stelzle.
