Distinction Between Church,
Mission and That Of Other
Organizations.
Twelfth Of a. Series of Labor
World Contributions by Rev.
Charles Stelzle.

While the church cannot accept and
advocate socialism, it recognizes the
following facts: =. -: =;
First that AMMAN has a perfect right
to be socialist If he Is convinced that
socialism is morally and economically
sound.
Second, that it is quite possible for
q man to be- d. Christian and a so
oialist too There are certain forms
Of. socialism which lire not antagon-
tstic to Christianity; although it
should be Remembered that there is
no necessary relationship between the
two-one being an economic system
and the other a religion.
Third, the church does not stand
for the present economic. system. It
stands only for SO much of it as is
in accordance with the principles laid
down by Jesus Christ. The economic
system. under which we are living is
not ideal. There Is much in it which
must be remedied and good men evJ
erywhere must seek to bring about
a fairer condition in behal fof the
toilers. This will never be accom-
pMshed by soup kitchens and bread
and they are right.
Fourth, the church does not preach
the gospel of Jesus Christ in order to
make men satisfied with their pres
emit economic condition, nor because
they desire to offer it as mere top.
1t does not preach this gospel, fearful
lest workingnfen are about to bring
about, great revolution-bTt it
breaches the same gospel with all Of
it's hopes and aspirations as well as it's
duties and obligations to workingmen
and employers axle.
While the church may not be able
to Introduce the program Of the SO
cialists it surely must seek to obtain
for the. workers many of the things
flor which socialism Is contenddng;
but each must labor in it's own field
and in it's own way, respecting one
| another and giving each the credit
Of being sincere, remembering that
! neither has the right to lampoon the
| other because it does not accept it's
progress. AS a matter of fact, the
church has as much, right to insist
| that the socialist shall come into the
church and accept its program as the
socialist has TO insist that the church
| member shall come into the ranks of
| socialism and introduce all of it's
doctrines. The time will come when
| men will enter the labor movement
in the same spirit and with the same
devotion that others today enter tho
wor kof the socialism ministry. Some
Of these will come from the ranks of
socialism and some from the church
but only those will build upon a per
manent foundation who build upon
the foundatdo Maid by Jesus Christ
and the prophets.

fires of a kind of revolutionary ideal

Ously with his arrival at the vlcarage
