Mnefarlnnd, of South Non walk, who spoke on the attitude of ministers and churches toward the in- ‘ ductriat movements of the day, Dr. Macfariuud declared thdt the realization and the Christiuuization of democracy is the suprememim of the ministry and church. The church must relate itself to all human, social move- merits. ()tiier gospels than that of the church are being preached and among them the gospel of labor. in our in- duatrlal organizations we. have one of those great humanitarian movements which made up the kingdom of God. The labor union is n fundmnentai inatitution of human society. ideally It in a great moml movement. it. takes up and carries through industrial re- forms which are for both the physical and moral well-being of man. The great need of these bodies is that oi great, wine. consecrated leadership. it is true that they avail themselves of the divine right conferred on hu- man beings, of making nitstakes, but so does the church. so do the organiza- tioun of employers. .‘trhitrnlion nud conciliation we should seek to bring in at ever) point. The thou,r to do in to guide and direct to sympathy, neVer to be nutiullod to criticise and destroy. The three great institutions of man- kind are the, plate, denim-racy and Christianity. The plate is n universal form, demm‘rury is u nuivursul move ment. Christianity is a universal re ligion. The final form of the state must he democracy and the final form of democracy must be Christianity. The labor unions are the great force of democracy and if the church is to be the mover and moulder of democra- c)‘ aim must get into close, immediate. sympathetic relations with our indus» trial organizations, There are many points of contact and much common ground between the tho. Fairness and the sense of justice and righteous- ness should determine us. The address was rem-fwd wiih \‘Il:~ orbits and tumultuous approval by the conference and at lir.

The concluding address if the meet- ilu: was that delivered by Representa- tive tieorue ii. Chandler. of Rocky Hill, who unlike on the subject. "Ctir~ rents of Modern Life Which Affect the (‘burchl‘ Mi: t‘hnndler spoke in part as follows: in public life ouc is continually meeting with the complaint that the MM'uIIed "better element." including of couriw the churches. have so little influence in politics. the inference be- ing that the blame for this state of af- fairs rests entirely with the politic» inn ’i’lie tin-ruse politician is hardly a moral propuxuiidlnt: he possesses little of the spirit of the martyr: but lIli‘ popular Impression that. he is es amnially a bad man is by no means well foiunied. lie In simply an end- nently practical man.

The "interests" are efficient and well or- ganised. because they have a power- ful Incentive for nnt‘h amortization. 'l‘hey prisnuku a code which they live up to and which, whatever its motives, is exceedingly satisfactory for it hard headed man of affairs to deal with. They make prominent and keep them; the church has no llli‘ttltl of making promises and no agency for redeeming them.

We may have been in error. but according to our light we were living up to the sound precepts of legislative action. As a result of this inability to re- ward friends and remember enemies, coupled. as i have said, with this lack of political adaptability. the average politician has little use for what is known as “Sunday school" politics. In order to win he finds it necessary to turn for support to those interests or individuals that possess political soli- darity and are willing to furnish the sluewu of war. Otherwise they go over to the rival leader. The laborer is worthy of his litre. The managers must have their share; the various dis. trict lieutenants, theirs; and the minor retainers. down to the smallest elec- tion district theirs. it. is tilts feudal system transplanted to modern demo rrncy. The result is that the man of small means and political independ- ence in effectually barred from prefer- lnent. Occasionally, in close states like New York. such a man is taken up and nominated because of his pop- uiar strength, but in Connecticut, whore nomination is tantamount to election. there is no necessity for such unihriily practices. The pages of re. cent history are punctuated with the political tombstones of honest men of good ability who have enjoyed their brief tilt with the powers that be and dropped back as warning cxatnpies in- to the uuietudo and repose of private life. In the last session of the General Assembly there was a splendid con- test over the creation of a public util- ities commission. in the form which this contest finally assumed. the issue was fundamentally a moral one. not an economic one. it was not a ques- tion as to whether this or that area- sure should pass, but as to who should govern the state. of Connecticut. The principles of representative govern- ment wore on trial. There is not the least shadow of doubt on the part of any observing man that on a refer-en dam to the people, a large majority would have voted in favor of the measure, but in this notable contest absolutely the only organized backing which the human-tern of the bill re- ceived from the public came from the State ltuuineso Men's Association and a considerable and very influential scr- tlon of the press. Where. in that con- troversy. was the uncalled "better element“? Where was the institution which claimn to be. and is. the most powurtul moral and spiritual agency of our civilization? Yet you wonder why the politicians fail to rely for their support upon the. church. and you lament the fact that religion an a vital force in the community in losing ground! it Is not of great moment. whether my projuct. or. your project or some body eiue'n project. is enacted Into a law. The state of Connecticut. is not going to rack and ruin, it not a line is changed upon its statute books for the next quarter of a century. lint the spirit of the people is a matter of grave moment. it in a matter of grave moment that political pledges should be redeemed. and that under a itepub~ ilcnn form of government a majority of the people should rule. The defeat of this or that bill is a more [infusing incident of political history, but an attitude of suptuenens and indiffer- ence on the part of the ycomanry of these historic Connecticut towns. which throughout the generation: have revealed such stunning political vitality and civic efficiency. Would be an alarming symptom of. retrogra- sion and decay. Among certain of our more intellec- tual clauses there Is a sort of without sake of trying to get an impossible best."
