served more widely than any previous
Labor Sunday. The Presbyterian denom-
ination has issued a special program for
use on this occasion. In recognition of
appropriate sermons, 1t Is quite common
for labor unions to attend church services
in body.
Changing Labor's Mind on Religion.
A remarkable change has come over
the mind Of organized workingmen of
late years with respect to the church.
It has been repeatedly said by those who
make a special study Of the industrial
question that the most marked trend Of
the day in labor circles is the movement
toward the church.
Be that as 1t may, there are at present
at work in FIVE Of the leading denomina-
tions committees appointed for the pur-
pose OF bringing the church closer to all
who toll. The general meetings of the
denominations nowadays usually devote a
special session to the Industrial question.
Probably the liveiiest and most important
hours OF the great Church Federation
convention in PhiIadelphia were those oc-
cupied with this theme. Then 1t was
that the united Protestantism of America
issued a statement to the worhingmen of
the land setting forth the sympathy Of
the church with them and her readiness
to serve them. The Protestant Episcopal,
Methodist Episcopal. Baptist. Congrega-
are now making a systematic effort to
carry into effect those resolutions. There
Is little doubt that in the last-named de-
nomination the most popular and ag-
gressive Of all its organized general
forces Is the department Of church and

Preachers in Labor Meetings.
Labor Memorial Sunday is only one Of
Stelzle's ideas that has come to be widely
adopted. He inaugurated the plan OF
"fraternal delegates whereby in more
than a hundred cities the ministerial
union and the Central Labor Union ex-
change fraternal delegates, a preacher
sitting as an honorary member of the
labor body, and a labor unionist sitting
as a member Of the ministers meeting.
The ministers are frequently callei chap
lains, and it is now common for the ma
tional meetings Of the various trades
union bodies to be opened with prayer.
AS the modern leader in any field must
be able to speak through the printed page,
il is as writer that StelZle wfeldS his
greatest influence. He provides weekly
syndicate article for $50 labor papers pub
lished In this country, thus getting a cir
cuIation of millions for his views on the
reconciliation of church and labor. This
writing is Of far greater importance than
the books he has issued or his contribu-
tions to the religious press.
Under his direction "shoo campaigns
have been held in number of large
cities, as many as 600 of these meetings
at the noon hour being conducted within
a single week. Similar meetings in work
shops are held over the country by the

No doubt for the giving up OF family
worship in the morning there may be, in
many cases. plausible excuse. 1t is i'm
perative that the business man be at his
post on time. and the younger members
of the family must be equally prompt.
But the days work done and the even
ings recitations ended. it ought to be
practicable in every Christian home to
draw the family together for half
hours devotion.
Years ago in New York leading elder
of the old Dutch Reformed Church made
10 o'clock the hour for prayers. and 1t
was well understood by his daughterr
young friends that if any of them let
their evening call extend beyond that
time they would be expected to join the
family circle In the next room. To those
not in accord with the service it no doubt
seemed a severe penalty. but others may
have gained from it an Inspiration toward
higher life and a truer estimate Of
what home should be. Times have
changed somewhat since then, but how
