CAPITAL AND LABOR
The seething conflict between cap
ital and labor is largely an exhibition
of human selfishness, due to false
standards of education. If the worlds
educational institutions could be
founded upon the Christ, Truth, in
stead of upon belief in intelligent
matter, there would sooner be a race
of people, whose only aim in life
would be to understand and to do the
will of God; to live a life of Chris
tian service.
The selfish materialist, whether
capitalist or labor, believing in the
realty of matter, is living life of
material accumulation and boarding.
What will awaken him? He must
learn how to give, how to lend
helping hand to others, how to share
with them his own blessings. 1t is
what man does with his wealth that
makes him truly wealthy.
The helpless sick man is just as
much slave to matter. He, too, is
hugging his sick beliefs, and con-
stantly adding to them. What will
heal him? He must learn how to
give, how to express the good, be-
longing to mans real selfhood. The
moment he begins to give out that
which is real and true about God and
man, he begins to see "the light of
life" John 8.12), as expressed by
the poet:
'Thou are not here for ease or pain,
But manhoods glorious crown to
gain"
The arrogant sinner, by constantly
indulging his false pleasures, is like
wise leading a life of accumulation
What will save him? He, too, must
learn how to give, how to express
that which belongs to Gods man. The
moment he experiences repentance
and the joy of living in order to
make others happy, he awakens from
his selfish dream, to find out that
"the earth is the Lords and the full
ness thereof" FPS. PAID.
This, then, is the solution of the
/, problem of capital and labor. Both
must accept Christ, Truth, as their
schoolmaster and learn the lesson Of
true giving-how to live in order to
bless all mankind. When the Golden
Rule is scientifically understood and
lived by both capital and labor, strikes
will be unknown. Any act of coer-
cion which inflicts untold suffering
upon thousands and millions of in
nocent people, is very remote from
the Christ method Of learning how to
live so as to bless and to be blessed
Both capitalist and laborer can be-
gin today to overcome, intelligently
and scientifically, everything that
stands between them and the re.
demptive gospel of service; and this
Z overcoming will result in the ade
quate adjustment of every human diff
{ ficuity. In other words they must
! learn to live and to love as true
s Christians. There is positively ne
( other way of pacifying or healing
their grievances. Employer and EN-
Z ployee alike must understand thai
) they are the servants of Christ, Truth
and are not laboring primarily fol-
material gain-"for the meat which
perisheth" for the establish
ment of the reign of righteousness OF
{ earth.
Let capital and labor get togethel
| in an unselfiSh desire tn do tho will
: of God, and there will be some men
tai dividends declared and distribut
3 ed, which will bring about conditions
heretofore unknown, and the convic
ton will obtain that all men are ere
ated to live and to let live. More re
2 ligion and less selfishness will solv
& every world problem.
3 UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE
& Under the leavening influence o.
Christian Science, the problem of uni
3 versal suffrage is rapidly approach
ing realization, but it is not yet di
z vorced from some pronounced phase
4 of human selfishness, due to a lacl
2 of understanding of mans relation
3 ship to God. Christian Science place
z no barriers in the way Of woman
8 coming into her own. She has stoo,
4 for and she still stands for the no
z blest, the purest, and the best in hu
8 man life, and no imperious attitud
2 of her lordly companion can reduc
1 her to any lower rank.
