liBSt weeic we were at mo inier
church World Movement convention
at.' Lincoln. There wero several
things which stood out prominently
ther as wo saw it, but the one
which interested us most, for several
reasons, was ono which had reference
to what is called Labor. Labor has
the idea that tho church is tho rich
man's organization, and that they
have no place in it, and that it is
not for them, that tho church is run
by the moneyed class, und they are
not wanted there. It is a fact they
havo little to do with tho church.
A few individuals have, and but few
of the ardent Laborites. They aro
quite antagonistic to the whole Crhis
tian system. Now if those men had
been at this convention and observed
fend listened, they would have found
out n thing. They would have found
out tho leaders of the church in this
movement stand for an equitable
distribution of the wealth of tho land,
which does never mean an equal dis
tribution, they would have found
them opposed to all unfair and crook
ed mothods of business, and that in
general they stand for tho samo
things the Laborites stand for, and
in, addition they offer a method for
tho solution of tho vexing problems
between Labor and Capital, which is
at onco sure and peaceable. And
further, they would have found tho
ministry of tho church, tho men
who aro the leaders in local commu
nities wero with them to a man.
This is so for two reasons: tho first
ts they are moved by principles of
righteousness.'itnd what is right even
If it is not expeditious and expedient,
and what is wrong is wrong, though
it fs expedient and profitable. Thero
may be u few exceptions, but they
are few. Unfair deuling is wrong,
and so is an unequitable distribution
of wealth. Second, tho ministry is
?iot such an Overpaid class as to bo
compared with the capitalists, thoir
sympathies are with the common
man, naturally.
The note of tho convention was
that tho Labor unions of tho coun
try offer one of tho largest and most
urgent missionary fields of the coun
try, not only these, but tho migrat
ing, seasonable labor. These men
are passive children-of circumstance.

has not decided on future plans for
this branch of tho work.
A vory good article on the consol
idated school appeared on the first
pago of tho last issuo of tho Iowa
Homestead. It tells of an Iowa dis
trict whero tho question was coming
up for tho second vote, after having
been onco killed. Thoso living on
tho outer edge of tho proposed dis
trict determined to kill tho move
ment for all timo to come. Like
many others, these peoplo fancied
that thoy could forseo many hard- '
ships for their llttlo ones, if they
were forced to become n part of tho
proposed district. That thoy might
sottlo tho matter for all time to
come, thoso who opposed tho move
ment sent four representatives into
two counties where they visited three
schools. These men first visited tho
schools and then went to tho ends
of tho routes and to tho homes of
tho patrons living off the roads, where
they talked with tho children and
with tho fathers and mothers. For
thoso who havo followed tho trend of
tho schools, it is needless to say that
tho testimony was 'overwhelmingly tn
favor of the "now" school. At tho
meeting which followed, tho ques
tion was sottled, undoubtedly for all
timo to come, but not killed. The
result was that those men wero en
thused so that tho Voto carried and
today n fino school is tn that town

high school boys and girls which
would bo a credit to any city. It
appears that tho method followed bv
these four men could bo safely car

tion as to tho wisdom of tho change.
