Goodenough, who was formerly pastor of the East Pearl Street M E. church, preached on the labor problem and he said that the workingman s hope was in the teachings of Jesus Christ. Shorter hours, more pay, bet ter places to work in-the dignity of labor-are the features of our time and the Christ has made the betterment," said the speaker. Dr. Goodenough said that recently he listened to an address in which 1t was stated that the work ingman had no use for the church, for the church did not want him and the workingman knew it. This man was mistaken" said Dr. Goodenough. Now, what are the facts? Is it true that the men in the shops have no use for tlle church It Is not true, and I will prove 1t by our own little city" The speak CT then told of the attendance of work men in the different churches in Bris- tol, and his own church knew no class and no caste.
