which confront the workingman ana the
church which, the speaker said, was anxious
to assist labor in most cases. Mr.. Maupin
commented on the present standing OF the
press. the stage and the church. saying
that too often the press was commercial
lied, the stage brutalized and the church
devitalized. These factors of education had
seen time Of greater effectiveness than
at present. He expressed hope for the
church that It would solve the problems
which would make it the friend Of labor.
He saw signs Of hope for the emanclpa-
ton Of the press from the thrall of com
merclalism, but he said the stage had
sunk from It's olden function Of present
ing religion to the point where It appealed
to all that was opposite instead.
The tendency in many churches" he
said. is that the ministry has chosen to
deal with the aesthetic. the artistic and
the poetic to the neglect Of the common,
everyday relations between men. These
common things Of life are and ever will
be the chief concern of the laboring man.
The average laboring men can not be
satisfied with fine theories of life on a
plane which he can never occupy. Neither
can he be satisfied with a babel of con-
fused clamor. He seeks the things which
are part Of his daily struggle, The church
must not drift away from these funda-
mentals of life.
1.-THE Presbyterian church was the first
of the great churches TO recognize the
principles Of trades unions. Through this
church the department of labor was estab-
lished in the churches and from this de-
has grown up the ministerial
union for the sake Of united effort along
uniOn lines.'
In commenting on the relations Of cap
ital and labor Mr.. Maupin took time to say
that much of the suffering Of labor was
brought about through ignorant graphing
with questions for which the union had
no proper solution. These instances had
caused more actual suffering than the
aggression Of capital. He said he wished
that the unions wohld not vociferate so
much but would do more quiet thinking.
In spite of the mistakes Of unionism, the
speaker found much that was praiseworthy
and also much good accomplished. Condi-
lions Of labor had been improved steadily
so far as the physical surroundings of the
laborer are concerned. Safety appliances,
sanitation, heating OF factories, better
hours and more personal consideration had
been brought about by the solid doctrines
Of unionism. Occasionally passion got the
upper hand but these cases have ended in
suffering too often needless.
IF the church were made perfect in
every good work, as it will be some day."
he continued, there would be no need
for the unions, for the problems of life
would be solved. AS 1t is now the church,
struggling and imperfect as it is, and the
trades unions, impatient as they often are,
still have a work Of education and uplift
before them"
Mr.. MaupIn concluded his remarks by re-
citing his poem, Foundations OF Faith"
Special music was provided for the even
ing by a quartet Of male voices.
