e cry of tortured men, women, and children for
relief from the curse of low wages, long hours, and scores of other
industrial conditions and abuses which inevitably pave the way for
numberless cases of moral turpitude."

James S. Woodsworth, a former minister, speaking for the Canadian Labor
Party, exclaims: "The Church--a class institution--what does the Church
do to help me and those like me? The Church supported by the wealthy,
yes, 'He who pays the piper calls the tune.' The well-groomed parson,
with his soft tones prophesying smooth things, well, I'm glad I'm not in
his shoes!"

James Simpson, secretary of the Canadian Labor Party, makes this
statement: "I found that the conditions which called for radical change
if the social and economic security of the people was going to be
established did not concern the Church. As an institution it was
concerned in establishing an outlook upon life that would induce men to
do the right, but, if the right was not done, there was very little
distinction drawn between the wrong-doer and the right-doer. This lack
of distinction did not apply so much to what were re-regarded as moral
indiscretions as it did to the larger failures to recognize man's
relationship to man in the industrial and commercial activities of life.
Labor thinks the Church is insincere. It is an exceptional case for a
minister to take a stand on the side of the workers, even when the issue
between the employers and employees is a clear case of the former trying
to enforce conditions upon the latter which are unfair and inhuman."

A. Fenner Brockway, the political secretary of the Independent Labor
Party in England, writes in this manner: "The hymns of the Church are
obsolete; the sermons are very rarely worth listening to; the forms of
worship are unrelated to life; and such inspiration as comes from the
devotion and beauty of some church services and buildings can be found
ever more intimately and fully in the silences and beauty of nature."

George Lansbury is another Englishman speaking for British Labor, and he
tells us that, "Ordinary working people in Britain think very little
about Churches, or about religion. Years ago I was asked, 'Why don't
people accept religion? Why don't the masses go to Church?' I said then,
as I say now, 'They, the masses, believe we Christians do not believe
what we say we believe."
