Religion in q abor
moben1emt.
BY THE CHURCHMAN.

~ HERE is so much religion in the
Ill. labor movement and SO much of
the social spirit in the church
| that with the inevitable development of
each in these respects. it will some day
become a question as to whether the
church will capture the labor movement
Or whether the labor movement will cap
| ture the church.
| 1t is becoming quite clear to most Of
us that neither side can afford to ignore
the other. While there are good and suf-
ficient reasons for the church to discuss
the problems of how 1T may save the
people, there are also most excellent rea-
sons which prove that the people must
save the church.
Workingmen almost universally honor
. Jesus Christ as a great friend and leader
A recent writer said: In that fortress
of progress which the socialist working
men Of Belgium have built in Brussels,
the Maison du Peuple, as you pass from
one part to another of that hive of many
activities you may happen to go into an
upper lecture hall and note across the
end of the platform a great curtain hang
ing. II Is drawn reverently aside. and
behind 1t one sees a fresco OF the form
of Christ, with hand uplifted pointing the
way above It is surely deeply signif-
cant Of the vital power of His message
and of the way He wins men still to
follow Him."
The average workingman is naturally
religious. His religion may not always
be expressed In the orthodox manner. but
il is there nevertheless. Infidelty scarce

in shop meetings that they are never
listened to with greater respect and with
audience.
The social question Is fundamentally a
moral and religious problem. In the
end there will be. not one answer to the
social question. but many. But all will
agree to this-all will be religious 1t
will never be settled upon any other
basis. History has prophesied it. The
best labor leaders are coming to recognize
il. Present reform measures indicate it.
! These things prove that the working
man in his devotion to Christ and in his
naturally religious disposition is in an
attitude of mind which makes him Pc
culiarly ready for the Introduction of q
great moral motive. In SO far as he re-
spends to this principle will he be given

What Sacrifice Means.

As the world sings of the birth OF the
Christ-child. how many are there who
stop to think what IL meant for the Son
of God to give up his place in heaven and
come to earth as man. This was the
supreme sacrifice-the sacrifice before
which all others pale into insignificance
In the words of one Christian worker who
had been called self-sacrificing:
Sacrifice. What man or woman can
speak of sacrifice in the face of Calvary i?
what happiness or ambition or refine
ment has any one given up in the service
of humanity TO compare with the sacri-
flee of Him who emptied Himself and took
upon Himself the form of servant?'
That message came from the lips of one
who had right to speak SO. for he was
a leader among those who lived for the
service of humanity

Coming of Peace.

The coming to earth of the Lord Jesus
Christ was a prophecy of the day when
there would be the peace on earth OF
which the angels sang. He came to break
oppression. TO set free the victims OF
passion and greed and avarice, to bring
in the day of which Whittier sang:
20 brother mar, fold to thy heart thy brother
Where pity dwells, the peace Of God Is there
To worship rightly is to love each other;
Each smile a hymn each kindly deed a prayer
Follow with rcverent steps the great example
OF Him whose holy work doing good
so shall the wide earth seem our Fathers
temple,
Each loving life psalm Of gratitude.
Then shall all shackles fall: the stormy clsngor
OF Wild music DER the earth shall cease:
Love shall tread out the baleful fire Of anger.
Aud in Its ashes plant the tree Of peace"

stated that it was purely an accident
and that there are no suspicious cir

their own dollar, but they want other
towns dollars and industries, too.
Committees representing the Electric
City's Board OF Trade have made re-
peated visits to Honesdale endeavor-
ing to get one OF this towns promis-
ing industries to locate in Scranton.
Quoting a couplet from the last

applied to Honesdale as we'll as to
Scranton. 1t reads:

HENRY UTEGG STRUCK BY
D, & H. ENGINE
Accident Occurred on Railroad
Crossing Near Coal Office We'd
nesday-Narrowly Escapes
Death

Henry Utegg, who lives on the
Mast Hope road, narrowly escaped
with his life on the unguarded and
gateless railroad crossing leading
from the weigh scales to the coal
yard of the Delaware and Hudson
company. Mr.. Utegg was in the coal
yard awaiting a chance to cross the
tracks. He told a Citizen represen-
tative that men were motioning and
he thought they meant for him to
pass over the crossing. Instead
signals were given by railroad men
for the engine, which was doing
some switching, to proceed. Mr..
Utegg started his team and when
part way over the track the engine
struck the rear wheel of the wagon
which contained a ton of chestnut
coal. 1t was an exciting moment,
the engine locking the wheel and
pushed the wagon, teamster and
horses on the track for few feet
The locomotive, however, was soon
brought to standstill, thus saving
Mr.. Utegg's life and also the lives
of his fine team of horses. Mr.,
Utegg was not injured nor was his
wagon damaged.
This is a very dangerous crossing
and should be guarded by gates or a
watchman. The teams and drivers
that pass over this crossing daily
are now given no protection unless
some one might be in the immediate
vicinity to warn them. The
Citizen has repeatedly called atten-
tion editorially to this dangerous
crossing. Surely it would seem to
be less expensive to place a watch
man at this crossing than to pay a
damage suit for someone who might
be killed, owing to carelessness up
on the part of the company in not
having it properly guarded.
