TWO FORCES ONE LEADER.
"Lift the
Me.
Cleave the
stone, and thou shalt find
wood, and there am I."
Sayings of Jesus.
Whether or not these words were
actually spoken by Jesus Christ, as
is supposed by those who recently dis
covered a manuscript containing
them, makes but little difference.
There is already sufficient evidence
to indicate that Christ and the toiler
are not very far removed. The birth,
the life, and the death of Christ give
Him a claim upon the common peo
ple, and the common people are justi
fied in their insistence that Jesus be
longs to them. Whatever may be the
opinion of the average workingman
with regard to the church, his devo
tion to Jesus Christ is, in most cases,
unquestioned. This is a hopeful sign
Without the rugged strength that
comes from and with the common
people the churches are sure to fail
But without the moral and the spirit
ual vision that comes from Christ the
people are bound to perish.
The organized church and the or
ganized labor movement have each
in them the elements which are work
ms iur a stronger Drotnernooa ana a
greater democracy, because these
elements are founded upon the teach
ings of Jesus Christ. As the leader
in each movement come to know each
other better, they are recognizing
that they have so many things in
common that they wonder why there
should ever have been any differences
between them. There are, and al
ways will be men in both movements
with narrow vision who will see only
one side of the great cause which
engages the attention of both church
and labor. But in spite of this seri
ous handicap, the time is coming when
men will see that neither side can af
ford to ignore the other. There will
come so close a knitting together be
cause of the strong religious element
in the labor movement, and because
of the growing social spirit in the
church, that it will become a ques
tion as to whether the labor move
ment will capture the church or
whether the church will capture the
labor movement.
That time may not be in the very
near ruture, but there is absolutely
no doubt as to its final consummation.
For every great cause which has for
its supreme object the making of bet
ter men and women, physically, social
ly, mentally and morally, will come
into affiliation for the most success
ful carrying on of their work, al
though each will continue to perform
its peculiar functions.
The important thing is that we both
keep close to Christ in our ideals, In
our aspirations, and in our work. Then
we shall never be very far apart, and
neither of us can go very far wrong.
Rev. Charles Stelzle.
