right 10 living wages Dr. IeIpie salu
According to great Catholic writer
this wage is 50 day. BY the term
living wage DR.. Temple said was
meant the right and ability to-
maintain home. The speaker
said II man gets that
right he should use It rightly, II a
man squanders that money he forfeits
that right DR.. Temple said that on
many vacant lots one could see empty
beer bottles. DR.. Temple thought these
were left there by the ones who will
not marry. A man who spends his
Sundays in political clubs forfeits his
right to a living wage. the speaker
thought DR.. Temple argued that
men have the right to organize In
unions The union has a duty 10 per.
form. When they set the price for
mechanics wage they should also sci
a standard.
DR.. Temple then discussed mans
duty to God which he thought was
the most important duty. II any man
doubts the existence OF God let him
give definition OF Goodness without
recognizing God He said that is the
trouble with Marks teachings; they
preach justice yet the basic princi-
pies are founded on evolution.
Our great duty is TO our God. We
care too much for worldly things.
was abroad some time ago and saw
woman with a hat box that would
have held all my earthly possessions.
Some women have several hat boxes"
DR. Temple concluded.
The Rev. r. L. Jackson was then
introduced and told of visiting the
Labor Temple I'm New York several
weeks ago. when several thousands
of laboring men we're listening TO an
address by Presbyterian minister.
Continuing the speaker said: when
the Baptisis were i'm convention In
Philadelphia some time ago they dis
cussed the great question, Mans re-
lation TO Man This is the drama be-
ing enacted today Il can never DO
consummated until men see each
other IN the eve and place them
selves i'm their brothers position. A
short time ago J had dinner with a
working man who was industrious,
and noted for his sobriety and 1t was
a meagre meal thought If those
who have so much suffer with the
gout and go to the baths would eat
with these working men, their eyes
would be opened
"What we must have is the same
condition In the industrial world as
we have in the political world. There
Is a great unrest in our churches
among the rich. as we'll as the poor.
They are getting tired of the strain"
Richard S. Monck. secretary of the
Central Labor Union began his re-
marks by asking I'VE have a number
of clergymen present and / would
like to ask, what kinds of souls they
are saving? Statistics show that less
than five per cent Of the working class
are church members There are a few
ministers like Father Temple and the
Rev Mr. Jackson who are assisting
the laboring men. but what can they
do with 10000 600 people.
Mr. Monck told OF the lobbying that
had been done at Dover by the labor
unions of the city, and he closed by
saying, 1T is everyman's spirit to helr
the man who is In the ditch"
