business of the Church TO concern
itself with all the ills from which
human society is suffering. then it
has no business to transact. If it
is not the duty OF the Church to fight
the good fight for mercy, justice,
and good faith In the world Of every
day affairs then it has no duty to
discharges If it is not the task of
the Church to redeem little children
from helpless toll then it has no
task Of redemption to fulfill. Never,
believe, Will the churches be
aroused TO true sense Of their duty
in regard to child labor, or any
other social reform until they are
made to see in a far truer sense than
has ever yet been understood that
their field is the world-the world of
toiling, suffering, downtrodden,
oppressed men, and women, and
children.

name the 'other world" conception
of religion, which has led the Church
asrray for centuries. Today, as for
so many generations, he1Church is
laying the emphasis OF it's teaching
upon the life beyond the grave and
is thus neglecting the life upon this
side Of the grave. The Church pre-
sents itself to men rs a means of
salvation from the temptations and
sins of this world and, therefore, Of
safe entrance into the joys Of the
future world The Church is busy
urging men to turn their thoughts
away from the prob1ens Of this
purely transient life and give them
selves up to the preparation for thai
eternal life which is to come. And
this being the traditional attitude
of the Church toward this present
world it is easy to understand why
it does not greatly concern itself
with the regeneration Of existing
society. Other organizations may
concern themselves with cleaning
the streets of our cities, but the
Church must think only of the gol-
den streets Of the New Jerusalem!
Other organizations may be inter-
ested in providing short hours and
adequate wages and decent condi-
tions Of labor for the men and
women who toll In our factories and
shops, but the Church must think
only Of the souls OF these men and
women in the next world, regard
less Of what happens to their bodies
in this present world! Other socie-
ties may devote themselves to the
emancipation Of little boys and little
girls from exhaustfng labor, but the
Church is interested only in bringing
these children to Christ! Again,
venture to assert that the Church will
never be aroused to real interest In
the child labor reform or any other
great social movement until tt has
forgotten all about what may lie
beyond the grave and has turned its
attention to what can be seen and
experienced upon this side the grave!
AS third reason for the Churchs
Indifference to child labor reform !
would name that which Is closely
analogous to that OF which we have
just been speaking. namely the
interest of the great body Of Christian
Churches in what are known as
foreign missions. Let me state
with all possible emphasis that,
although a clergyman Of church
which has never been greatly inter
ested in the work of foreign mis-
sions I am not at all opposed to these
activities in themselves. What I am
opposed to is the support Of foreign
missions to the neglect of home mis-
sions It is all we'll and good
enough to export religion, providing
that you have surplus after your
own crying needs have been salts
fed, but when I look at the political
and social and industrial conditions
of our own country, when behold
such picture as that presented by
the recent Pittsburg Survey, when
I think of the toiI-worn men and
under-paid women who are destroyed
little by little by our remorseless
industrial machinery, when I think
