He pointed out some of the import
ant things the labor union stands for,
such as the abolition OF child labor,
the protection Of women, sanitary liv-
ing, sanitary places OF employment,
and against the sweat shop. The church
is fighting for these things just as
much as the labor organization is, Mr..
Stelzle said The trouble is that both
think they are 1T" when really both
are part OF the same 1T" Mr.. Stelze
entered into a discussion of social
principles and said that all are trying
TO find their way out OF the social pro-
blems. but the trouble is that every
socialist has a different definition OF
the word. Socialism will not be the
end but a means TO the end, he
said, and the church must be an i'm
portant factor in achieving the end
He said the socialist claims that
Christ was the first socialist, the an
archist claims Christ was the first
anarchist.
The truth is that Christ was the
advancer OF no particular theory, and
the church is the advancer of no par
llcular theory or particular system Of
living Christ was seek 'ng to benefit
the individual, and the church is try
ing TO do the same thing. Mr. Stelzle
cited that the church never attempted
to dictate 20 its members about their
politics He quoted from Josh Bill
lings to the effect that the 'only way
to have an honest horse race is 70
have an honest human race" Mr..
Stelzle referred to the great temper
ance meeting at Toronto addressed by
John Mitchell and other big labor
leaders and said the time had come
when labor and the saloon must be
divorced. He said that the church and
organized labor both claim Christ is
on their side, and he pleaded for a
square deal for Jesus Christ"
