In his book he scoffs at "well-meaning and devoted churchmen Who insist that the pulpit is not the apprepriate place for the discussion of political is- sues and economic problems.Y And he leaves ne doubt as te what political party and what economic theory be wants the Cburch of- ficially to support. Mr. Toye is an avowed Socialist, and in the strike above referred te be was closely associated with well- known Communist leaders. 1* t There will always be extremists of one kind or arrother, but it seems to me that for a Christian minister te become a rabid Soc- ialist is te contradict the Gospel he was ordained to preach. If I belfeved that Socialism was es- sential te the salvation of man- kind, or even that it was the best and proper order of society for this world, I would net only be an atheist and a rebel against the 1powers that be, but would oppose ail forme cf religion, as the Com- munists quite logically do. I would want to know why an in- telligent, net te say a loving God did net in the first place make a Socialist world for mankind, as He did for the ants and the bees. -Why were men endowed with in- dividual will-power, ambition, as- piration, conscience and a sense of personal responsibility if they would be better off witho'ut tIsose1 attributes in an equalitarian or-1 der of society? That is the greatest cf ail prob- lems and a profound mystery, and it can enly be resolved by Chris- tianity, which proclaims the im- mortality cf the seul in man, and reminds bim that bere he has ne abiding city and no perfect social1 system. "One generation cometh1 and another goeth," and in our 'brief sojourn on this planet we have each te do the duty that lies next te us, to learn the lessons1 of experience and cultivate our souls by constant relationship with the spiritual and Eternal,- "in Whom we live and move and have our being." Christ came to awaken us te that spiritual con- sciousness andi relationship, and His ministers will have more than enough te do te bring His mes- sage home te their people froin the pulpit. That does net preclude them frem condemning social ev- ils andi "going about doing good," in which there is ample room,for service without entering into par- ty politics and the cenflicting theories of the economists. We have laws for collective bargain.- ing, arbitration courts and gev- ernnsent departments for dealing witb disputes between unions and employers, and the church should stick te its job.
