THE EVOLUTION OF LABOR.

that have appeared lately comes from Harry T.

THE rights Of the worker include reasonable
wages. based the cost Of living; reasonable

Here. certainly is something for both employers
and employees but particularly the latter, to think
about. In Russia have seen unskiled workmen
trying to run industries under the authority of a
bolshevist government and making mess of it.
That will hardly be tried in America. But there is
to be progress in the direction of active
participation Of labor IN management Our great
industries may eventually become genuine partner

looked like, and finally managed to
get pass Dec. 9, Monday, for Metz.
The day previous there was great
celebration in the town in honor of
the French president, in which the
leading generals of France-Foche,
Petain, Goenouard, and of the allies,
as we'll as General Pershing, took
part. The Lorrainers, dressed in
their native costumes, joined the
parade as demonstration of their
eagerness to become again a part
of France, and JOY in having been
liberated from the yoke of the Hun.
That evening the mob managed to

such tactics, with the result that a
few days later an order was issued
forbidding all Americans from en-
tering any part Of Alsace-Lorraine
except on pass from General
Headquarters. Our American boys
sure made a hit with the Dutch
girls as many of them can speak a
little German and bear them no per-
sonal i'll will. This also made the
Poi1u jealous and helped to get the
exclusion order through.
Now we are practically confined
to our regimental area-a few God
forsaken, evacuated villages with no
civilians in them, and nothing to
do but debate as to how soon we
will be shipped back to Gods coun-
try.

Why This Essay Is Written.

This essay is not written for the
purpose of attacking or criticizing
any religion, or sect, or church, to
which large numbers of our fellow
citizens belong. Far be it from my
mind.
There is large number and a
great variety of churches and sects
in our land, all differing more or
less from one another; each one
having it's own doctrines, beliefs,
and forms of worship; most of them
minding their own business, and
willing to let others do the same.
We are living in an age of free
dom and federation. My neighbours
belief and religious practice are his
own business, even as my belief and
practice are mine, as long as | do
no harm thereby to others.
True, there is really nothing
wrong in the criticism of ideas and
beliefs, as long as it is done in
friendly and courteous manner; for
only in that way is the knowledge
of truth promoted. Even. philoso-
pliers and scientists criticize each
others ideas and theories. Why
should not members of different re-
ligious bodies be at liberty to do
the same, as long as it is done with
out acrimony or hatred?
But we Jews feel little more
delicately on this point than others
may feel. We have suffered SO much
from the worlds into1erance; we
have been so ruthlessly harassed
and prosecuted on account Of our
different belief, that now that the
civilized world is somewhat relent-
ing towards us, we feel that it be-

Jews and Christian Science

hooves us above all others to be
tolerant, and to let other religion
lists alone, even as we would be let
alone. We take the saying of our
great prophet Micah as a good doc
trine for our guidance: "Let all the
people walk every one in the name
of his god, while we will walk in
the name of the Lord Our God for
ever and ever"
If such is our attitude toward all
sects and churches, it should be
even more so toward the Christian
Science church. Its membership, as
a rule, consists of very amiable peo-
pie, very pleasant to meet and to
get acquainted with; kindly, gentle,
more or less democratic, and appar-
emily very much in earnest about
their beliefs and convictions; yet
not obtrusive, though eager to make
converts-altogether an agreeable
class of people.
The very reasons that prompted
them to join the new cult, namely,
their former states of real or
imaginary i1l-health, suffering, and
restlessness, and their dissatisfaction
with the teachings and practices of
the churches with which they for
merly affliated-these reasons, and
their present state of reconciliation
with life and it's consequent peace of
mind, are factors in bringing out
those traits Of their character which
are so praiseworthy.
I must, however, state, in passing,
that their new faith develops one
characteristic in them that is far
from commendab1e Christian Sci
entists are extremely individualistic.
Each one is self-centered, living I'M
