The Church Found Wanting
Dear friends, we all know that the
Christian church has often fallen
short of her divine principles and
ideals, but even 30 the church has
been the mightiest influence on this
earth, making for justice and broth
erhood and love. And if the church
has not always shown the sympathy
that it should show with the cause
Of labor, may not this be in part due
to the fact that the Representatives
of labor have not taken their full part
in the life of the church? l wish we
might have many more of the repre-
sentatives of labor on the important
boards and in the representative coun-
ellis of the church. And why should we
not have this?
Speaking as a Christian bishop,
and therefore as . friend of the labor
movement, may express to you three
wishes that are in my heart as look
into your faces here today?
First, I wish that all of us-those
Of US who are not in the church.
might be converted to full faith in the
Lord Jesus Christ, God and man, and
accept Him as Lord and Master of our
own lives and of all human life.
Second, / wish that the Christian
church in all its parasitic Christian
church throughout the whole world
would show its sympathy and give it's
full support to every, aim Of labor that
is just and right, judging these aims
only by the standards of Jesus Christ,
the divine laborer, who came down
from heaven to bring His Fathers
love and peace and justice into the
world.
"Third, for the good of labor, and
quite as much for the good of the
church, should like to see labor take
its full share, and so exercise its full
influence in the life and work Of the
church."
Tells of LabOr's Rights
Using the subject of his address
Chirst's words, IT am come that they
might have life and that they might
have it more abundantly," Mr.. Green
interpreted the message to mean "the
satisfying Of the physical and the de-
velopmeht of the spiritual forces of
the soul.
"The woes from which humanity
suffers are due to our failure to COM
ply with the laws and teachings of
morality, religion and justice. If these
teachings were followed, the rights of
employers and employees woul be rec
ognized and accepted. We must rec
ognize that the forces of labor and
capital have passed into new era, an
age of cooperation and reciprocal re-
lationship. Militancy has long been
tried. The power of capitl has not
succeeded in crushing the spirit of or
ganization. Fairness demands that
the attempts to prevent organization
among the workers must cease. La
boring people have fairly won recog-
milton and the right to organize. The
safety of our nation, the security of

Tributes to him as the greatest of
American labor leaders were paid to
the memory of Samuel Gompers, in a
quiet ceremony at his grave in Sleepy
Hollow cemetery here by William
Green, president of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, and representatives
of the executive council of the A. F.
of L., the New York Federation of
Labor, and the Central Trades and
Labor Council Of New York City.
President Green laid a wreath on
the grave and other floral tokens
were placed there in behalf of the CT
garmakers' international Union, of
which Gompers was pioneer, the In
ternational Ladies' Garment Workers
Union, and other labor organizations.
1t was on the morning of Labor
Sunday, a quiet and peaceful day, as
befitting the memorial tribute to the
departed leader, that the ceremony
took place. In short address Pres
ident Green rededicated himself and
the American Federation of Labor to
the vision of Samuel Gompers to step
by step build up the labor movement
of America to win for the toilers the
fullest rewards for their share in
building the most industrially ad-
vanced nation in the world.
At the grave were Peter ]. Brady,

and apparently crushed, reorganize,
rebuild, and re-establish themselves
more strongly and firmly than ever.
This being true, sagacity and wisdom
teach that if organized labor can not
be overcome and subjugated it should
be recognized and accepted as . func-
tioning force in our economic life.
