The first article in this magazine,

«hows exactly the purpose of its

era ami Employed”, We can
on'y g*ve u few <|uutations. But thia
article shows the attitude of th«-
Hierarchy und the whole magazine
shows the method by which it ex
pects to win. It holds that the labor
problem is not "merely an economic
one,” and in the very smoothest way,
endeavors to show thut it is not a
question of the state, and through
exaulting the horn«’ and the right that
workers have to strike etc., finally
draws out the idea that all the
trouble between capital and labor has
been brought about by the revolt
against the Catholic Church, in the
"so-called Reformation.” This great
Catholic writer, who is no less than
' His Eminence William Cardinal
O’Connell,” says:
“The individual! itic principle of life
was introduced by the revolt against
the authority of the Church. The
unity of faith was broken and
Christendom ceased to be one great
organic social body, one brotherhood
in Christ. Once granted, the principle
that man can choose, as he would a
garment, his own religion, the most
•lpremc issue of life, the way is open
ir him to hav«> his own way in things
of all moral import. The direct ten
dency of the spirit of individualism is
to breed self-sufliciency and selfish
ness. That it does not always do so
is owing to the fact that it is not
always carried out to its logical out
come.”
It seems that the Cardinal wants
to keep the two classes Masters and
Slaves but as to th«1 working man’s re
lations to the church and capital, he
<1 n’t want him to be an individual.
He must just be good and take his
medicine when he is skinned and his
hide hung on the fence. But the
danger is not in the cardinal’s idea.
It is in forcing the labor world to
fall in line with it, that is going to
raise perfect hell and return us to the
dark ages. Listen to the soft handed
official of Rome talk:
“There is a disposition, too, to re
gard work as an intolerable burden
to be gotten rid of as soon as possible,
and with as little effort as possible.
This is contrary to Christian teaching.
The Wise Man in Ecclesiastes who
^Bul tasted all the pleasures of life
was forced to confess: “For I have
f und that there is nothing better for
a man than to rejoice in his work.”
This natural discontent is fomented
and intensified by the noisy agitators
of Socialism, the enemies of God and
man, who would overturn the founda-
tiona upon which human society ia
built, and exile God from Ilia uni-
verse.
This singular set of men who seek
to conceal the malice of their real
principles, but who cannot, are a brood
«.f disturbers. Their doctrines are an
abominulion striking at the founda
tions of family life and religion. Their
spirit is not new. A similar class of
men were graphically described by
Saint Paul in his second epistle to the
Thessalonians: “For also when we
were with you, this we declared unto
you: that if any man shall not work,
ne ther let him eat. For we have
heard that there are some among you
who walk disorderly, working not at
all, but curiously meddling. Now we
charge them that are such, and
besetxh them by the Lord Jesus
Christ, thut working w th silence, they
would cat their own bread.”
There is not, ami cannot be a Cath-
o'ic Socialist. Leo XH1 has rejected
such a fellowship in his immortal
encyclical. The principles of Socia1-
ism are utterly opposed to the prin
ciple.« of Christianity. They are
mutually destructive of each other.
Certain misguided Christians may call
them.se'ves Socialists, but objectively
a Catholic Socialist is an utter im
possibility.
Another source of unrest among
working people and one against which
they must be warned, is the desire to
give themselves over too much t the
pleasures of life. It is directly con
trary to the Christian, Catholic spirit.
It leads people to live beyond their
incomes, and is the fruitful source of
family troubles ami discontent with
one’s station in life. A Christian peo
ple should remember that the Chris
tian life is one of restraint. Legiti
mate recreations are good, but not
the surrender of the heart to the
pl asures of this life. They should
bear in mind the warning of Saint
Paul, that among those who make
oangerous times in the history of the
world are "lovers more of pleasures
than of God.” More economy at home
nmi less perpetual seeking of empty'
pleasure would remove much of the
unnecessary discontent and murmur
ing which, ever without real cause,
we hear on many sides.
The social problem of the relations
between employers and workers must
be solved on a Christian basis, or not
at all. They must face each other in
the proper frame of mind springing
from a Christian spirit, before even
an inital step towards permanent
betterment can be effected. Employers
and workers must regard each other
as brothers in the same great brother
hood of Christ. The Church by her
teaching inculcates the only sure
method of social regeneration. She
would purify the hearts of men of
selfishness, greed, envy and hatred
which stand in the way of a better
understanding. She abolished slavery,
in spite of opposition coming from
human interests, and made men
socially free. She protested anti fost
ered the workingmen’s guilds of the
M'ddle Ages, using every means in
her power to keep the workers under
the gracious and mellowing influence
of religion. She alone can be the re
generator of the social commonwealth
in the conditions which confront us
to-day.
When the worker imbibing her
spirit wi'l look upon labor as a con
scientious duty to he done with care
and diligence, and when the employer
accepting her teaching will be con
tent with reasonable profit anil treat
the laborer generously anil humanely
the battle will be already won, and
peace will descend and bless both for
their loyal Christian and Catholic
spirit.”
O, ye Protesting heretics, shall we
let these priests, who do not work,
forever curiously meddle with our
affairs and forever enslave us? If
you ever expect to wake up and save
yourselves and your progeny from the
flames of a Capitilistic, Pagan Hell
here on earth, wake up now!
“Catholic” means “universal.” How
enn a Roman church be a universal
church? It’s no church at all. It is
a political machine of wonderful
power, and it w'll completely control
America unless Americans wake up.
