the damage caused by the weevil
is OF two kinds. The actual dam

fully as bad a. the sctual cotton

CHURCH rs UNFAIR
TO LABORING MAN
New Minister. in City Talks
on the Attitude of the
Church to Labor.
Continued from Page One,

selfshness and greed it is sure to win.
No one can permanently enslave any
part of the human race. Because the
struggle is just, and It's roots religious,
the laborer naturally looks to the
church for sympathy and support.
Unfortunately the church has not
always yielded it, and there is an al
legged hostility on the part of laboring
men toward the church. This feeling
has not gone far enough in America
but that it can be softened. But we
are at the parting OF the ways.
Where the Church Stands.
The church stands today before a
wide open door of opportunity She
need not sanction all the things that
labor does. She need not blind her
eyes to the mistakes that are likely TO
occur But she ought to inform her
self of facts that every intelligent la
boring man today knows. She ought to
know the facts about child labor in the
United States, about the relative value
of wages paid labor in these days of
high prices and about the physical
conditions under which multitudes of
men, women and children are COM
PEELED to labor.
The Church Conscience.
Moreover, the church ought to create
conscience in her members that will
go far toward correcting the outrages
that are now practiced in the name of
business. She ought to make H. impos-
sible for a Christian man to grow rich
off the hard labor of another man for
which he does not give an adequate
return. She ought TO make it clear to
every man who employs labor that he
must figure the wages he pays on the
basis Of the worth Of the labor not on
the size of the dividends he wants to
declare. The man who does the work
must be his first concern, the dividends
his second concern
When Iaboring men can feel that the
church is really seeking to enforce the
Golden Rule they will gladly take
council and advice from the church.
To them the struggle is not merely a
social problem. 1t is a battle for life
and liberty and loved ones The church
must come to see it through the Ia
boring mans eyes and to calmly face
the facts.
