movement one OF the activities Is an ef-
fort to get the church and the labortng
men in closer touch and more In har-
Inony. Churehmen have recognized that

man was drifting away from the church
and that each year u was becoming more
difficult TO reach him. Two plans 10

adopted. One was 70 have the ministers
OF the city speak at the labor temple
and to send ministerial delegates 10 the

of labor occupied the pullpts Of as many
Lincoln churches. The attendance at
practically all Of the churches was large
and much interest was shown In the

church and Its attitude toward the man
who tolls. and the reason why 80 many

ment, or at least under the control OF the
oppressors OF labor.
