RELATION OF CHURCH
AND LABOR UNIONS
Subject Of an Interesting Sermon by the
Rev. W. J. NJ Beattie at the
Episcopal Church Last
Evening.

The Church Of the Coco Shepherd was
well filled last evening, wher ne pastor,
Rev. ". !. 81 Beattie. preached upon
the subject, frhe Relations Between the
Churches and the Trades unions lhe
speaker took for his text part Of the
third verse Of the third chapter o. Amos
Can two walk together except they be
agrecdP
The answer to this depends, he said,
on their character and the matter Of
agreement. II the persons are nervous
their differences irritate them. and this
is true OF those who are suspicious OF
the truth Of their own arguments. lie
who Is sure that he is 10 possession
OF the truth can afford to be serene and
they who are agreed can have nothing
70 say.
If the good associate only with the
good. then the bad become worse. The
man who sees plainly should take his
blind brother by the arm aud lead him
in the path.
There IS much that is fundamentally
the same in he church and the labor
unions. The history OF the unions has
been like the history Of the churches, and
10 many men the union j. their church
and the idea Of progress the Kingdom OF
heaven. The church and the union have
been curiously in accord in their blum
ders.
The church and the union are alike
IN their variety and the different unions
differ as do the different churches There
are many differences. hut both are the
same IN preierring TO be judged by their
best Another thing in which they are
alike is in their unity OF purpose that
both are working for the benefit OF man.
kind az large. The church has been said
TO act as il a man was all soul and no
body, and the unions as il man was all
body nd no soHl
A man ought % belong TO a union to
\ lift the level Of liia for himself and his
fellows and the same man ought Ia be-
long TO the church q develop the spirit
ual side. Nothing sill help you SO much
as coming 10 Gods house for an hour or
80 on Sunday. Both the unions and the
churches could do better work if they
understood each other better. Both are
actuated alike by the unseliish purpose
to do good
The problem il how TO advance our
common purpose. There is no help for
good cause in compulsion. Men are
brought 70 the right BY being convinced
We have made use Of the strike and
boveott in the history Of the church and
have found the plioey Of compulsion 70
be tragic blunder. God planted the
instinct Of independence in man, and u
vii be maintained. The unions are fol.
loving IN the steps Of the church and
are learning the same lessons aud reach
ing the same conclusions that their pur-
poses are gained only BY reason and per.
suasion.

First TO Prevent Water Waste;
Other to Prevent Fires
IAN UNUSUAL SITUATION
The Water Department Is Pumping Con-
tinuously to Keep the Remaining
Few Feet Of Water in the
Bolster Reservoir.

For two nights this city has been
patrolled By iire patrol and to-day a
water patrol was put ON. because Of the
shortage OF water III the city's resu-
yoirs. This indicates IN measure the
acuteness Of the situation caused By the
longstandlng drouta, which, by the way,
gives no sign Of breaking. The only
hope now Is the Northfield fair; II it
doesn't rain then, people viii about give
up expecting rain. The Mortified fair

continues for three days. OF course,
there Is no ill-will meant 20 the North
field fair. but well walt aud see.
Chief 0ladding of the fire department
put on fire patrol Saturday ni1at,
whose beat covered the business section
from the city hall 20 Cottage street on
Main street. At the same time the
night police patrolsnen were keeping i
strict watch for any indications Of u
lire. Tho work Of the iiremen's patrol
consisted largely OF visiting the ont.of-
the way corners back Of the business
buildings. and il Is probable That the
same work will be continued tonight.
|lf a serious fire should get under way
|at the ureeent time. the hremcn would
be greatly handicapped because Of the
shortage Of water. The loss Of the
Orange brook supply cuts off great
deal OF the head at the hydrants. wnile
the very great decrease at the Bolster
reservoir has further reduced the force
81 the streams from the hydrants.
To prevent as much Of the waste as
possible, the water department also put
on patrol to-day, whose duties con
sisted of visiting the granite plants and
other users Of city water. Wherever
they find that water il being wasted,
those places will be cut of entirely from
use OF city water. AT one Of the first
places visited to-day, they found three
faucets running wiae-open. Users Of tic
