paIer. pastor Of the Morgantown
,N. Va Baptist Church, in a recent
mon.
T6e subject of the sermon was
Why the Church Has the Right ana
I. Traer Obligation to Speak Out on
,.s Questions Of Industrial Relations.
Church Alast Speak Out.
The church has the right declared
Mr. Baker. "and is under obligation
>. sneak out on the question of indus
r.4i relations because it represents
g, view Of human life which is in con
f5rmity with the highest Interests oI
r4nkind. namely, the preemlnenee Of
ne moral and spiritual development
.uf human society and the presefva-
ton of the integrity of the individual
.v,tain that society. Any situation
tYat raises a question of human worth
and stiny becomes immediately, on
principle, concern OF the ehufch,
which is committed by its Founder
and its history TO lay under tribute
The energies OF men in order that sueh
situations may be removed.
While Mr. Baker mentioned no par
tcular group, il was evident that ne
.ad IN mind those local eXploiters OF
labor VINO so smugly hide behind
hymn books on Sunday and war on
,6e labor unions in particular, and the
workers in general, during week days
when he uttered these truths:
Moreover, let it be remembered
thar individuals can not maintain
Ta4msny with God until they have
succeeded in eifecting prooer adJust-
r-an4. =. enc another. How can men
maintain fellowship with the God oi

learned how to enjoy the companion

prayers and elaborate rituals are but
inoekery to God when the garments OF
the saints are stained with sins. II
we do net have intelligence enough to
deal with our fellow men, how shall
we in cur religious illiteraey and
uaIlN professions bring ourselves TO
dispose of our troublesome Reighbor

to hear our petty prayers :?
Hits Corporations Thugs.
Il have no sympathy for the strong
arm squad employed by the CORPORA
tions to crack mems heads and beat
them into insensibility, all because
they honestly want to better the con-
ditions Of their fellow workmen," was
the declaration of Rev. j. c. Broom
field. former pastor of the Fairmont
w. Na.) Methodist Protestant Churcn
and now president Of the pittsburgh
Conference of that church, in ser,
mon on the subject, "The Church and
the Industrial Problem"
Continuing, Mr.. Broomfield SAID:
"Faimont has seen in broad daylight
the operation Of the strong arm squad
employed by capital beating up law
abiding citizen. then hurrying to the
office of the justice of the peace, con-
Tossing to a misdemeanor, paying a
patrv fine, and that was the last of It.
In my judgment, if any laboring
man. or group of laboring men, had
duplicated this in beating up an em-
uloyer of labor, the processes of the
law would never have ceased operat-
