labor. Prior to the original fall man
was obliged to work. "And the Lord
took man and put him into paradise
to dress it and keep it." Subsequent
to Adams fall, labor is compulsory.
Work is to be just punishment of
Adams transgression. In the sweat
of thy brow, thou salt eat bread. 7
Anterior to the dawn of the light of
Christianity, labor was regarded as
slavery and dishonor. Born in labor,
grown up in labor, Christ passed his
life in labor to win men to the all
important truth that happiness does
not consist in worldly pleasures, but
in the performance of duty and in
sacrifices. Christ was more destitute
than the poorest child of the poorest
workingman, thus casting halo
around the brow of the workingman.
Mary, his mother, was a working
woman. st. Joseph, his fosterfather,
was workingman. His first follow
ers and His Apostles were working
men. Christ placed as pillars of His
one, true, Catholic, apostolic and the
infallible Church two workingmen, st.
Peter a fisherman and ST. Paul tent
maker. Workingmen, behold, there
fore, the dignity of your calling. OF
all classes of society, you belong more
to the Savior of mankind. The Church
always favored labor. See how her
monastic orders cultivated large tracts
0f hor 20
Church gave to intellectual work.
Behold the masterpieces of art, that
came to light under her genial in
spirations. See across the centuries
her long line of geniuses, the beacon
lights of learning in every age.
If work is blessed by God and is so
advantageous, whence come those so
cial evils in the world? Labor is not
the cause thereof, but too little of
needful rest, hard work without imi-
tation, lack of Christian spirit, in
adequate wages. Armies of human
beings are kept busy, night and day,
to satisfy the extravagant demands
of luxury. Excessive work brutaliZes
man. Mother Church wishes that man
should rest 81 Sundays in the year
and also on her established feastdays.
Time must be allowed for work for
God, for religious instruction, the saw
ing of ones soul and for the home and
family. But, the essential cause of
labor evils is that labor is ceasing to
recognize Christ, the model. The new
theories are turning the human mind
away from God The ideal of God
who commanded labor, and of heaven,
the reward of honest labor, is being
banished from the soul of the working
men. Infidelity is endeavoring to
Danish Christ from the workshop and
labor is being heathenized The new
systems fail to touch the hearts of hui
mainly, which must be penetrated by
the true religion of Christ, before
social disorders disappear. Can no
substitute be found for the religion of
Christ, as taught in the Catholic
Church? Many have been tried but
failed. The police force and the courts
have shown themselves powerless to
stop the current of iniquity and dis,
order. Education without God has
wrecked morality. National patriotism
taking the place of Christian love OF
country, has bred traitors and has led
to wars of humiliation. Divorce has
ruined the family, the sanctuary OF
society,"

The Laborer.

The right of every man to bread
and work is natural right. Public
authority should protect the industri-
GUS working class in procuring the
necessary means of livelihood. The
honest workingman, under the infiu-
ence of the Church, demands not aims
but work. He should be able to
obtain ample means to purchase not
merely the necessaries of life, but also
to keep himself and family in reason.
able comfort, and to put his own home
on his own land Homes are feeders
of patriotism. The wage should, more
over, be enough to enable the work.
ingman to perform his Christian
duties, occasional acts of charity, and
to provide for hard times, for sickness
and old age. The laborer must learn
to be obedient to his employer, in all
things just. He should promote the
interest of the employer, scrupulously
protect his goods and do his work
conscientiously.
The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1913-02-01
The Capitalist.

The admonition of the Church to the
capitalist is that human beings are to
be valued more than brick, mortar, or
| irrational animals, that every man
should possess sufficient means where
with to meet the necessities of life.
Woe exclaims the Church to the en-
ployers, who grind money out of the
poor, who treat them with less con-
sideration than animals, who injure
their physical power by excessive
work, who force them to labor at in
adequate wages, who deprive work
ingmen of due time for their religious
duties and expose them to neglect
their homes and families. The work
ingman must not be regarded as a
mere machine of flesh and bone to be
used to accumulate wealth and, when
used up, to be cast away. On the con-
trary, he must be regarded as broth
er in Christ, soul created by God,
and for God, moral and intellectual
| being. Every man has spirit with
eternal destinies, is beloved child of
the heavenly Father, a sharer in the
solicitude of God for his betterment
here and hereafter, Gods dearest OBJ
ject, however, being his eternal happi-
ness. The poorest and lowliest child
on our streets is worth more than
cities, kingdoms and empires. He has
an immortal soul, stamped with the
image of God. Nothing is of such
value as an immortal SOUL All else
is subject to decay, dissolution and
death. COR what exchange shall man
give for his SOUL" says Christ. Dis
orders are threatening society the
world over, because men have become
selfish in seeking too much their own
worldly interests and employing un-
just means to elevate and enrich them
selves to the detriment of others.
Capitalists there are, who spend large
sums on useless and ridiculous fads,
| in place of retaining the wicked and
relieving the want and misery of their
employees, on whose labor they live
and thrive. Their gorgeous display
of fashion and equipage excites the
envy of the passing crowd. Numerous
capitalists appear to think of their
employees, only when they wish to get
work out of them. The wonder is, how
such men can satisfy their conscience
before God in regard to the grave obi
cation of assisting the less fortunate.
Workingmen, better treated, will do
more for the cause of their employers
and will be more loyal to their person.
Capital and labor depend on each
other Intimate union should exist be-
tween them, capitalists themselves be-
coming fathers to the workingmen.
Labor.

assistance to all people in the various
