At a sociological conference heM re cently, a speaker made the assertion that during the last twenty-five years social on rest had increased three-fold. He said, furthermore, that during the same period the Church had increased in the same ratio. Therefore, he con cluded, the Church had been absolute ly non-effective in the matter of keep ing down the spirit of social unrest. Then be began a tirade against the Church because of its apparent failure. Granted that his statements concern ing the development of both the Church and social unrest are true, and granted that the church has not re tarded the growth of social unrest there is vet another viewpoint. The speaker seemed to imagine that it is the business of the Church to keep down every protest against the pres ent social wrong. This promise is altogether wrong. Rather is the op posite true. It is THE BUSINESS of the CHURCH to CREATE SOCIAL, UNREST. And the Church is doing it. There are no labor troubles in Dark est Africa. But the Christian mission aries who are being sent there will create them. They will point out to the natives their low standard of phy sical, mental and moral life. They will then show them the higher ideals of Jesus Christ, and urge them to at tain to the splendid possibilities of the better life. Naturally, there will then come a dissatisfaction with their pres ent state, and tbere will follow a spirit of surest, which will manifest itself in IF Look for the Label W HEN YOU BUY Y0UD h Spring After carchvDy comparing different fines, asK to see the clothing made by 1C0HN BROS," ol Chicago.

It is only after the Church has pre pared the way by sending its best men and women into darkened lands who often suffer death and poured mil iocs of dollars into these fields, that the professional social agitator steps in and builds upon the foundation al ready laid by the Church. Then, in all likelihood, he will turn around and denounce the Church for non-effectiveness. He never lays the foundation. He never makes the sacrifice. He is simply the irresponsible critic, whose very safety and comfort has been made possible by the devobon of the martyrs whose blood was sacrificed for him. Have you ever heard of a social propagandist going to a cannibal island to build up an ideal social system? THEY surely need his help. But not much. It's easier, and safer.' too, to remain in even a "so-called" Chris- ian land, and do business there. Rev. Charles SteUIe. a WILL IT BE ALWAYS? Some labor bills are being passed.

Planning to Hold a Union Revival To Run for Weeks. The Carpenters are planning on go ing into a union revival scheme follow in the general revival at the Auditor ium next week, and to that end have their educational secretary Mr. Chase, framing up some programs and look ing after speakers. The plan is to have the unions occupying the Car penters hall give way their meeting nights for about two straight weeks, allowing the hall to be used for revi val purposes. If the plan goes through there will Toe meetings every night, with prominent leaders in the world of labor to preach good union doctrine to the toilers and revive their interest in the label and enthuse them on the Labor Temple proposition. The Carpenters have been having an outsider address them every Tues day night for some time, and are so weU pleased with the results that they want to try it on a larger scale with the co-operation of other unions. the deceased members of the union will close the exercises. Every member of the union and of the auxiliary is invited and expected to attend both of these services. All who can should bring flowers in the af ternoon with which to decorate the graves. The program in full will be published next week. GOT 'EM GOING. Union Busters Send Out Hurry Up Call For Big Meeting.
