Dr. Salem G. Bland, pastor of Broad- way Methodist Tabernacle, just off the press. The book will probably "start something" in Methodist circles. It Was on account of his views on in- dustrial and social problems and his sympathy with the radical labor movement that an effort was made by a section of-the Broadway Official Boardito remove Df. Bland from the pastorate of that church. The To- ronto Methodist Conference meets next week, and it is just possible the the book's teachings niay be discussed on the floor of Conference. Dr. Bland makes it plain in "The New Christianity" that control of in- dustry by the workers must sup- plant capitalism. "'Capaligtic con- trol," he remarks, "has no doubt played a necessary and useful part in the social evolution. It has shown courage and enterprise. But it has been on the whole rapacious and heartless, and its sense of moral re- sponsibility has been often rudi- mentary. When the managers on whom it depends desert to the side of the workers, it will be patent how little capacity or service is in capi- talism, and how little it deserved the immense gains it wrung from ex- ploited labor and skill." And on the next page Dr. Bland declares: "A check must be placed on the fatal fashion money has of breeding money. Wages of labor, wages of invention, wages of superintendence, are just; profits of capital must grow less and less to the vanishing point." "The bitter conflicts between capi- tal and labor over the division of the profits will never be settled. It prob- ably never can be settled. It will cease to be. Capital will cease to be a factor; only labor in the broadly inclusive sense of the term will re- main." Brotherhood and democracy are the two great principles of the new Christianity, says Dr. Bland. And he Tails to find these in sufficient meas- ure either in Protestantism or Ro- man Catholicism. : Protestantism Must Pass Away. The author goes so far as to say: "Protestantism must pass away. It is too rootedly individualistic, too sectarian, to be the prevailing reli- gion of a collectivist age. It is;pass- ing away before our eyes. Every- where it reveals the marks of decay or of transformation. It must change or die." 'Not to Protestantism, not to Ro- man Catholicism, belongs the age now dawni but to a new Christian- ity wihch will, indeed, have affinities with them both, but still more deep- ly with the Christianity of Jesus. "This Christianity indeed is al- ready here. Like its Master when He came, it is in the world and the world knows it not.. It is still im- mature, undeveloped, unconscious evep of its own nature and destiny. It will receive large and valuable contributions from. both the great historic forms of Christianity, not improbably from the Eastern, or Greek Christianity, as well." Then follows a statement that will probably make the Church sit up and take notice: "But in promise and potency the coming Christianity is more fully and truly here in the Labor movement than in any of the great historic Church organizations. Perhaps a more accurate statement would be that the Labor movement needs less radical change than the great Church organizations to become the fitting and efficient Christianity for the new "It needs in the main but two great changes, "1, It must broaden. % 'What Labor Must Realize. 'It must open its doors as the Bri- tish and Canadian Labor parties are doing, to include all kinds of pro- ductive work, of hand or brain. It must make room for all who contri- bute to the feeding, clothing, hous- ing, educating, delighting of the children of men. It must include the inventor, the research scientist, the manager as well as the manual worker; the men who grow things or distribute them as well as those who make them; the professional class, who, on their part, must cease to re- gard themselves as other than men and women of labor. Labor must be- come, in short, the category to which all belong, who really earn their living and do not seek to make more than they earn. 2. Labor must recognize the Chris- tianness of its own principles, "I do not say Labor must become Christian. It is profoundly and vital- Hood's NEW CHRISTIANITY WiLL | SUPERSEDE. RELIGIONS Rev. Dr. S.

"""The Draft Report of Reconstrue- tion, fot example, prepared near the close of 1917 for the Labor party of Britain, is not only the ablest and most comprehensive program of social reconstruction so far drawn up, but in its aims and methods and spirit it is profoundly Christian, a thousand times more Christian than the ordinary ecceleslastical pro- nouncement, though the name of Christ does not occur in it. The need is not so much that Labor become Christian as that it become clearly conscious that it is Christian and can realize itself and win its triumph only on Christian liges." "It 1s not strange after all that among workingmen should arise the Church which is to give the truest Interpretation of Christianity. The Lord Jesus was Himself a working man and brought up in a working- man's home. ' His chief friends and chosen apostles were workingmen. How can he be fully understood ex- cept through the workingman's con- sciousness? The high, the served, the rich, the mere scholars, as such, are not fitted to understand Christianity. Individuals of exceptional character and insight may escape the limita- tions of their environment and edu- cation, but in any large community interpretation the workingman's con- sciousness would seem to be essen- tial. And, on any large scale, Chris- tianity has never found such an ex- pression to give It--so essentially ILY BRIT ISH WHIG i | | ABERNETHY'S SHOE STORE a ------ ------ SCOTT'S GARAGE washing and storage. 1915 McLaughlin for sale; cheap; first class condition. 298 BAGOT STREET Phone 1804w.

"Labor and Christianity, then, are bound up together, Together they stand or fall. They come into their kingdom together or not at all. It is the supreme mission of the prophetic spirit at this fateful hour to interpret Labor to itself, that it may not in this hour of consummation miss the path. To turn away from Christianity how would be for Labor to turn away from the throne. But it will not. Mankind is in the grasp of divine currents too strong to be resisted." Dr. Bland's reference to Protest- antism 'are apt to cause a consider- chapter of his book 'entitled "A Labor Chrisianity," he traces the rise of the Protestant Church, Luther's part in it, and summarizes it as follows: "Protestnatism in a word is bourgeois Christianity, It is the Christianity of the middle or trading classes. It was born where these classes were strongest. --in Ger- many, Holland, ir , Eng- land and France. It has exalted the middle cl : have ted it. It has been with them in their struggle and has shar- ed their triumph. It sanctions their ethical standards, falls in with their tastes, emphasizes their virtue, indulgent toward their faults, con demns their aversions." Speaking of the origin of ®ro- testantism, Dr. Bland says: "With Luther himself and many of his fol- lowers the motive was a genuinely religious one. It was a revolt against the legalistic interpretations of Chris- tianity and the moral failure of the Roman Cathelic Church. But with the mass of the city people, who were the main support of Luther, the mo- tive was mainly a pasion for free- dom and only subordinately and sporadically a passion for a purer faith or.a holier life." He severely scores Luther for his attitude toward the peasants, who in 15624 made twelve demands of the German prince, and he quotes Luther's incitement to the prince to slaughter the : rebellious. peasants. From 1525, the year in which the revolt was crushed, the new Pro- testant Church was estranged from the proletariat. ¢ Branch of Autocracy. "On Luther rests the responsibil- ity of converting the German Church into a branch of an autocratic Gov- ernment, as such distrusted and de-/ tested by the laborer in the country and the worker in the town, and of thus bringing about a condition of things which® has earned for Pro- estant Prussia * the reproach of be- ing the least religious. country of Europe." "Protestantism, then, by its very origin is Christianity shaped to suit the trading and the maaufacturing class. Now what are the character- luties of Shambite 2 this Slate?

In the |. d the middle classes |; is }- difficult to get as high as that. The divine note of love is faint. Protes- tantism has never caught the passion for brotherhood. So it is not strange that where the reviving spirit of brotherhood, which is the divinest movement in modern life, is strong- ei, there is the least drawing to Tro- testantism. "It is in the proletariat today that the sense of brotherhood is keenest. It is the proletariat which is the in- creasing despair of the Protestant churches." "Neither the Protestant nor the Roman Catholic churches can claim to have inspired the Labor movement. - During the severity of Labor's early struggle, Protestantism, except in isolated or unofficial repre- sentatives, gave no assistance, not even its blessings, to what was the most profoundly Christian movement of the nineteenth century. The first step to right relations between the churches and Labor would be that they failed to give Labor their help when Labor deserved and needed it most. Then Dr. Bland draws a picture of the growing power of labor, and lays down three principles which must guide it. They are: 1. Every man and woman a worker. 2. The right of every worker to a living wage, Union. Toward the end of the book Dr. Bland seems gullty of a slight con- tradiction of himself. Here he asserts that: "It is unthinkable that either of these great forms of Christianity (Protestantism and Roman Catholie- ism) will pass fray. They are al- ready changing, and each as it chan, ges moves toward the other." "The future belongs neither to Ro- man Catholicism nor to Protestan- tism. Roman Catholicism is too aris- tocratic and distrustful of freedom. There is a drift from Protestantism to-day but the drift from Roman Ca- tholicism has been greater. The hour has struck for the Great Chris- tianity." In his preface Dr. Bland says that he hopes Canada will be the first to find the new social order and the new Christianity, and he has dedicat- ed his book "to the Canadian sol- diers, spearhead of the army of li- berty In France, spearhead of the sérmy of brotherhood in Canada."
