The world is in the midst of the
greatest unrest of its history, the Rev.

in Keokuk Sunday evening in his ser

which are to bring an economic free

bolshevism. spartacus and l. w. w.
THE churches of today" the speak
err said. recognize that the kingdom of
God is as comprehensive as human
life with all its interests and needs
and that they share common respon
sibility for christian world order.
The supreme teachings Of Christ are
love and brotherhood. They express
themselves in democracy.
THE doctrine of class consciousness
is opposed to any such ideal, the pas
tor said. Dictatorship OF the prole-
tariat is new absolutism in the hands
of a few men and is abhorrent as any
other dictatorship" he declared. LABOR
must have share in the management,
and the unrest Of labor is due to a
denial of this share, he held. He
urged the application Of the princ1-
pies of democracy to problems OF this
sort the same as to government.
"The christian and modern concep-
ton of industry makes it public SER
vice. The parties of interest are not
only labor and capital, but also the
community whose interest transcends
that of either labor or capital.
"The labor union movement the
sneaker told his hearers. Stands for
fair wages for fair work under fair
conditions. In its demands 1t does not
differ radically from the demands OF
the church for better conditions in the
world" he said. Socialism and syndi-
calism are more radical, he said. de-

system. Socialism has its good points

decried syndicalism or bolshevism as
1t is best known.

universal strike or by destruction
of machinery and capital on the same
principal as the Germans destroyed
property in Belgium--that war justi-
flies any means to the end. Our l. W..

America. This new movement must
be opposed. The danger is greater
than many realize.
There is need of more careful study
of labor conditions and an earnest at
