THE LAKE SHORE NEWS, FRIDAY, MARCH 19,1920 **&!-â-  CHRISTIANITY ONLY SOLUTION OF LABOR Rev. Seidenburg Tells Audience at St. Xavier's Church that Church Al- ways Stood firmly by Labor L^st Sunday night, Reverend Fred- erick Seidenburg, S. J., Dean of the Department of Sociology of Loyola University, addressed a crowded •church at St. Francis Xavier's, Wil- mette. His subject was "Christian- ity and Labor" and for nearly an "hour he showed that throughout the ages the church has been the staunch friend of the working man and his *cause. Among other things he said: '"Christ revolutionized the labor -world of antiquity, a world in which the toiler was a slave, aud labor a •disgrace. He taught that brother- hood of man and that the laborer was worthy of his hire. He dignified labor by becoming the son of a car- penter and by choosing as the pil- lars of His church the simple and -the lowly contrary to all human wis- dom. He choose the weak things -of the earth to confound the strong, and so it was that while the mem- bers of the primitive church were, for the most part, laborers and â- slaves, they gradually by their doc- -trine and example, prepared the way â- for the abolition of slavery. Under this influenze ,slavery merged into serfdom from which freedom for millions was the eventual outcome." "The church sent forth her apost- les to all lands of Europe who, while teaching the gospel of salvation did not forget to teach the gospel of work. The monks by their own labors gave the example and thus T>ecame the real founders of Europe- an civilization. To perpetuate this work the church fostered guilds of every kind to prevent the profiteers and the exploition of labor; she â- taught both the rich and poor that justice was always paramount and •charity was often essential; she so impregnated the industry of that day -with the principles and practices of democracy and religion that as Veder well says, "the despised middle ages were in many respects marked "by a social justice superior to our •own," or as Dr. Cutts, another non- catholic authority, puts it, "One reason for the. popularity of the Mediaeval church was that it has al- iirjyayf„,been the champion of the peo- ple, and the friend of the poor. In politics the church was always on the side of the liberties of the people against the tyranny of the feudal lords." "Riches and poverty, rank and sta- tion, are relative terms and are in pratice measured by contrasts. There is a great disparity today between the employers and the employe than there was in the middle ages between the baron and his serf, between the master and his apprentice. Those were the days of chivalry when child labor and woman labor were spurned. Then baron and serf lived and died together; they worshiped at the same altar; they rode to the same tourna- ment ;they dined at the same table. In the economic world the merchant and the artisan took even their ap- prentices into the very bosom of their families. The" employ today has nothing in common with his em- ployer whose home, clubs, autos, in fact, whose whole world is a sealed book to the men who make all these possible. On the other hand the employer does not know his em- ploy and shadows of his life. It was altogether different in the middle ages when knighthood was in flower and democratic industry was a real- ity" "In the present crisis the Bishops of America have recalled the prin- ciples and practices of the catholics middle ages, and in a program of re- scon str action have outlined a solu- tion for our problems that while be- ing^ just to labor, is not unjust to capital, realizing that socialism would rob the employer while capitalism would rob the employe. The solu- tion is a middle, course of under- standing and co-operation. If those who have power and wealth do not realize that the day of the laborer has come, let them look across the Atlantic or even let them look more closely at home and they will see in Christianity) and in Christianity alone, the solution of the labor prob- lem.
