THE LABOR PARTY.

We have read the proceedings of the Ports
mouth conference England upon the labor ques-
ton with feelings of deep interest, but there was
one resolution which caused us deep pain and
that was the proposal in favor Of purely secular
education. The most important factor i'll every
state is the working man, and much as his right
has been hampered in the past, the day has come
when his claims must be studied, and everything
that is Just and for his welfare must be conceded.
For quite long time he bore his grievances pa
tence. The man of property. the mine owner, the
merchant, and the trader and such like took the
last grain of work out of him to enrich themselves,
and then. when there was no longer use for him,
they cast him aside like bad halfpenny to drift
penniess down the stream of life and end where
he will The late Pope Leo XIII, ever the friend
of the worlingman, championed their cause, and
set forth in some OF his most brilliant encycicas
their rights and he apty deserved the title of the
workngmans pope. Reused up at length from
the slough of despond and made fully alive to the
gospel of self help. the workingman enlisted him
self in the ranks of fraternal combination. and
with good results. Trade unions sprang up every
where throughout the land, and the workingman,
recognizing the power he welded returned to Par
his interests. Good results followed this course,
for some of the best measures passed by the pres
ent government have been mainly due to the work
of the Labor party. We gladly welcome these
measures OF reform, we congratulate the working
man on his having achieved them; we with glad
heart say to him, go and prosper but we at
the same time put down this addenda, Don't iden-
tify yourself with Goddess education. for moth
ing can come from this course except failure" To
our thinking there is no body of men who should
be more anxious for religious education than the
working man. 1t is right and just that the chill
dren Of the working man should be given every
facility to compete with the children of the capt
talist III the schools of the nation and that suitable
careers should be open as well TO the children of
the worker as to those of the wealthy 1t is right
and just say but the working should not
leave out in his struggle for that right the one
great essential for human happiness-the knowl-
edge OF God and the things of God. Working men
should learn the lesson which France has taught
them. The leaders Of the labor movement in
France and the continent have nailed to their flag
the motto, Neither God nor master" They have

told havoc here and eternal destruction hereafter,
These continental teachers are no friends of the
workngman and unless the worlngman wishes to
write downfall across his just endeavor for right
and justice, let him not exclude that comfort and
support which come from religious belief. 1t
should be the aim Of every workngman to make
his little ones followers of the Great Master first,
and then everything else will be added. Seek the
kingdom of God and His justice first and all these
things will be added unto you So said the Great
Master the Great Teacher. He who by His life
and teaching sanctifed work He who babe the
children of men ever to look up and leayen the
work of their hands with the dew5 of simple
