ATTITUDE OF METHODISTS ON PRODUCTION FOR PROM' Reports Adopted by Conference at Hamilton Define Points Around Which Controversy is Center- ing = Church Committed to complete Social Reconstruction In view of the controversy that has arisen over the criticism level- led by Mr. S. R. Rarsions, ex -presi- dent of the C, M. A., at .the at- titude of the Methodist Church to- wards certain -social and industrial problems the following extracts from reports on the matter .adopted by the General- Methodist Confer= ence in Hamilton last year are es- pecially interesting. The reports around which the controversy is centering are those of the Evangel- ism and Social Service Department and of the Arany and Navy Board of the Church entitled "The Church, the War and Patriotism." The fol. - lowing •are ol-lowing•are extracts pertinent to the matters in dispute in the latter re- port: Your Committee has had its at- tention directed to the work of the Church in the problems of recon- '''struction by some pregnant passages iii the address of the General Superinten- dent, and by a Memorial from the Al- berta Conference. Even before the war it was widely fo'seeu that great racial changes were imminent in the western world. This gigantic convulsion has pre- cipitated the nations into the melt- ing pot. Such ,an era summons the prophetic gifts of the 'Church, first to the task of interpretation -to discern amid the turmoil and con- fusion the hand of God, and second- ly, to the task of inspiration- to breathe into the hearts of men the faith; the courage, the patience, the brotherliness, by which alone the happy hanbor can be won. And no Church is under a deeper obliga- tion to assist in this twofold task than our own. Methodism was born in a revolt, against sin and social extravagancies and cor- ruption. It Was content with no aim lower_ than "no spread scriptural holin- essthe land." through g ' Insisting on personal regeneration and all the impli- cations therein. It transformed the face of England and saved that land' from the excesses of a French revol- 'utioe. To it the` ideal of the Christian life was simply love made perfeet. LIFT OFF CORNS!

Without seeking at this time to commit the church to a definite pro- gramme of economic policy, we would' present for the consideration of our people the following statement which reflects our point of view: War On Profits. 1. The present economic system stands revealed as one of the roots of the war. The insane pride of Ger- many, her passion for world -domina- tion found an occasion in the demand for colonies as markets and sources of raw materials -the inoperative need of competing groups of industries • car- ried on for profits. 2. The war has made more clearly manifest the moral perils inherent in the system of production. Condem- nation of, social individuals seems often unjust and always futile, The system rather than the individual calls for change. 3. The war is the cornation of de- mocracy, No profounder interpreta- tion of the issue has been made than the great phase of President Wilson's that the Allies are fighting to "make the world safe for democracy." it is clearly impossible forthe champions of democracy to set limits to its recogni- tion, The last century democratized politics; the 20th century has found that political densocracy means little without economic demnrcacy. The democratic control ofdindustry is just and inevitable. 4. Under the shock and strain of this tremendous • struggle, accepted commercial and industrial methods based on individualism and competition have gone •down like mud walls in a flood. National orgagization, national control, extraordinary approximations of national equality have been found essential to efficiency. Despite the dearangements and the sorrows of the war, the Motherland has raised large masses of her people from the edge of starvation to a high- er ,plans of physical well-being, and in consequence, was never so healthy, never, so brotherly. nor ever actuated by so high a purpose, or possessed by such exaltation of spirit as to -day - and the secret is that all are fighting or working, and all are sacrificing. it is not conceivable that when Germany ceases to be a menace, these dearly bought discoveries will be for- gotten, Relapse would mean recur- rence, the renewal of the agony. The conclusion seems irrestible. The war is a sterner teacher than Jesus and uses far other methods, but it teaches the salve lesson. The social develop- ment which it has so unexpectedly ac- celerated has the same goal as Christ- ianity, that common goal is a nation of comrade workers, and is now at the trenches, fights so gloriously -a tsation of comrade fighters. - With the earthquake shocks of the war thundering so tremendous a re- affirmation to the principle Of Jesus, it would be the most inexcusable de- reliction of duty on the part of the Churci, not to re -state her programme in modern terms and re -define her divinely -appointed goal. We, therefore, look to our national Government -and the factor is a vital one -to enlist in the service of the nation those greatrleaders and, corpora- tions which have shown magnificent capacity in the organizatilg of life and resources for the profit of shareholders. Surely the same capacity can find nob- ler and more deeply satisfying activity in the service of the whole people rather than in the service of any par - Bettie'. group. Urge British Example. Tire British Government Commission has outlined a policy which, while ac- cepting as a present fact the separation of capital and labor, definitely denies the right,of sole control to the former and insisting on the full organization of workers and employers, vests the government of every industry in. a joint board of employers and workers, which board shall determine the Work- ing conditions of that industry. fhis'policy has been officially ad - 'opted by -the British Governnsent and nothing less can•be regarded, es toler- able'even.now id Canada., • • But we do•not believe this separation of •labor and capital can be permanent. Its transcendence, whether through co- operation or public ownership, seems to be the only constructive and radical reform. This is the policy set forth by the great labor organizations and nnust not be rejected because it presuposes, as Jesus 1114, that the normal human spirit Will respond ino'e readily to the call to service than to the lure of private gate, " Triumph of Democrgcy. The triuupl; of democracy, the de- mand Qf titg 'educ'itted Workers for helm eonditions of life, the deep con- demnatfon this war has passed on the competitive struggle, the revelation of the superior efli.eleuey of rational or- ganization and cooperation, combine with the unfulfilled, the often forgot- ten, but the undying ethics of Jesus to demand nothing less than a transfer- ence of, the whole ecunonnl life from a bast$ of competition and profits to one of so -operation and service, • We recognize the, magnificent effort of mtlny great employers to make their industrial organization a means of up- • lift and betterment to all who partici- 'hate, but the human spirit instinctively resents even the nIost benevolent forms of government, while self -govern meht is denied. The lioblest humani- tarian aims of employers, too,' are often thwarted by the very conditions un; der wonhic,il their business must he car- ried ' That another system is practicable is shown by the recent statelnent of the British Prime Minister, that every industry save one in Britain has been made to serve the national interest by. the elimination of the element of pri- vate profit. • That the present organ- ization, based on production and ser- vice for profits, can be superseded by a system of production and service for human needs, is no longer a dream. The acceptance of this report, it cannot be too clearly recognized, commits this Church, as far as this representative body can commit it, to nothing less than a complete so- cial reconstruction. When it shall be fully accomplished, and through what measures and processes, depend on the thinking and the goodwill of. men and, above all, on the guiding hand of God, s But we think it is clear' that nothing less than the goal we have outlined will satisfy the aroused moral consciousness of the Church or retain for the Church any leadership in the testing period that is upon them. And in such an heroic task as this our citi- zen armies will find it possible to pre- serve, under the conditions of peace, the high idealism with which they have fought for- democracy in France. Recognizing the greatness and complexity of the task before the 'Christian people of Canada, and the imperative necessity of united action by the Churches, we recommend that the suggestion of the memorial from the Alberta Conference be ad- opted and that this General Confer- ence invite the other Churches of Canada to a National Convention for the consideration of the problems of reconstruction. Further, in order that our Church may give the most intelligent support to the movement, we recommend that our ministers and people should ac- quaint themselves with such important documents as the Report of the United States Commission on Industrial Rela- tions, the inter -Allied Labor Party's Memorandum 00 War Aims the Bri- tish Labor Party's Programme of the new social order and the British Gov- ernmental Commifsion Reports on In- dustrial Relations. . Your''Lomnlittee outlines this pro- gramme in the profound conviction that it can be carried out only by' sten' quickened "and inspired by the spirit of Christ and for that Divine Spirit workiifg in the hearts of men, nothing that is Good is too highs or too hard. Effects of Industrialism. The report on Evangelism and Social Service is in part as follows: There must he recognized by every observant ,person a process of disin- tegration in family life. With the spread of industrialism if: every nation there is manifest an increase of divorce separation, and desertion. This is ac- companied by a change in -the condi- tions of home life: Functions once per- formed 'by parents in the home are now performed in the community, in the day school, the Sunday school, the offi- ce, the factory, the street and the play ground: In this way vocational train- ing guidance in recreation and play, religious instruction and education as a Whole is passing from the hone to the 'community, resulting in weakened par- ental authority and less veneration for parents. Another social phenomenon is stead- ily emerging. in the evolution of in- dustrial and economic control we find interests that conflict, viz.: the profits and property rights of some, and the right of life and its development of others. In the light of these phenom- ena, the -Christian Church must 'lay great stress upon three duties: - (a) Emphasis must be laid upon the obligations involved i0 marriage; great- er responsibility of parents for the pro- tection, training, vocational guidance, and religious instruction of their child- ti Your Liver Is the Best Beauty Doctor A dull, yellow, lifeless skin, or pimples and eruptions, are twin brothers to constipation.

We commend the aggressive work of the Department of Evangelism and Social Service In Child Welfare activi- ties, and urge every congregation to take advantage if possible of the inval- uable Child Welfare exhibits, We recommend the Dominion Gov- ernment to establish a Dominiod Health Board and Child Welfare Bureau At the earliest possible datg, and thus meet the national necessify to correlate the activities of the Provinces, to investi- gate conditions relating to Child Wel- fare, and to initiate such movements as may be found necessary for the con- servation and development of the hu- msn resources of Canada. Had the Methodist doctrine of holi- ness or perfect love been followed in all its social and economic implications, Methodism would have been the home of that passion for human brotherhood, religious in its intensity, which Ina been shown by many groups of men and women outside the Church, and as Dr. Dale, of Birmingham, has said, "Methodism would have inaugurated ,a revolution compared with which the Protestant Reformation would have to take second place." .The cruelties of the industrial systems in the factories and mines of England, the heartlessness which permitted the growth of slums and kindled conditions in ,the cities, and the social and economic subjection of the poor, would have been the sub- jects of our persistent attacks, and England would' not have had to wait for Lord Shaftesbury and other re- formers to do the work they did. Cites Golden Rule. The Golden Rule demands that what we regard as necessary and advanta- geous for ourselves and our families we shall regard as necessary and advanta- geous for others and their families; what we claim and accept as our rights, we shall admit to be the rights of others. !We shall not purchase our pleasure -and advantage at the cost of the disadvantage or practical enslave- ment of others. -Rau. 13. We declare all special privilege, not based on useful service to the com- munity, to be a violation of the princi- ple of justice, which is the foundation of democracy. We declare that forams of industrial organization should be developed which call labor to a voice in the management and a share in the profits and risks of business. All forms of autocratic or- ganization of business should be dis- couraged. We call attention to the re- markable and unchallenged success of the co-operative stores, factories, and steamship lines of England and Scot- land, as great examples of democracy in industry. • We declare it to be un -Christian to accept profits when laborers do not receive a living wage, or when capital receii'es disproportionate returns as compared with labor. • We recommend Old Age Insurance on a national scale, in which the an- nuity paid shall bbased upon the average, earnings of the country, each year of a man's effective life. This ]would protect all citizens from the fear of penury in old, age, and at the same time would make every citizen directly interested in both the prosperity of every business in the country and the gond health and industry of eevry fel- low citizen. Condemn Speculation. We condemn speculation in land, grain, food -stuffs and natural resources as well as the frequent capture of un- earned wealth through over-capitaliza- ion of commercial enterprises. We place the principle of the Golden Rule before the loan who seeks wealth by investment, and then endeavors to es- cape impending loss by unloading upon others. There are dangerous formas of economic injustice in which we can- not engage without sin. Is there not in our church a wide -spread call for repentance and confession of ,sin in this retard? As the people are virtual partners in every business enterprise we condemn that profiteering which takes out of them profits not justified by the value or cost of the service rendered. We recommend the enactment of legislat- ion which shall secure to a labor a fair wage adequate to a proper standard of living, to the business of fair prbfit adequate for its continuance, and to the public all returns in excess of these, We are in favor of the nationaliza- tion of our natural resources, such as nines, water -powers, fisheries, forests, the means of communication and trans- portation, and public utilities on which all the people depend. Menace to Democracy. We call attention to the Closed or Company Town as a menace to de- mocracy, in that the citizens are in danger of being robbed of freedom of political action, and of power to de- mand proper sanitary, educational and social conditions for themselves and their children, As followers of the Carpenter of Nazareth, we sympathetically seek to understand the problems of life as they confront the classes' of labor in Canada, and thus rightly estimate the pleas they make , for justice,. and. find in them allies in the struggle to realize the ends of fair play, humanity and brotherhood, The Church has. a' message to all classes of people, Alt citizens in the ranks of employes. on account of living in •a Christian land ' and being endowed with its free citizenship, and under obligation to do faithfully the wgrkfor which they take the wage, to treat no engagement as a "scrap of paper," and to. carry a brother's, heart toward all their fellow -citizens: "Speak every 111511 truthwith his neighbor, for ye are mennbers one ot, another," wrote St. Paul For the snare reason all the virtues are called for, This the facts of life, as found in our human relations carry with them a divine sanction, and demand of all alike the observance 'of the great command- ments of the law,/ And the new cons- mandment Which Christ has givens us, R41'It4VEm (lA fnQf 1ft UhiTF,lir1ATi101iM1, 161 d1106: LEss'N ckly RIDV.

The Repentance of the People of Nineveh (3:1.10). The following steps are noted In their conversion: 1. hearing the Word of the Lord The Lord commanded Jonah to go to Nineveh, a great and wicked elty,,and there "preach the preaching" that be bade .him. Jonah's runaway experi- ence (see chapters 1, 2) was such that he was willing to obey God. Efts chastisement was severe, but by God's grace he was now ready to execute the commission. "Jonah arose and went unto Nineveh according to the word of the Lord" (v. 3). So great was the city of Nineveh that It required three days to compass it; that is, to visit its very centers of activity. Jonah, com- ing from Palestine, doubtless entered the city from the south, and during an entire day going from center to cen- ter cried, "Yet forty days ant Nineveh shall be overthrown" (v. 41. Since the king's palace seems to have been In the south part of the city Jonah's meseage soon found its way to him. If every preacher would preach what God bids him there would be more cities turning to God. 2. Believing God (v. 5). They not only believed God would visit judgment upon them, but believed to God, aqd put their trust in him for mercy and salvation. 3. Repented (vv. 5-9). Their penitence was shown In (1) proclaiming a fast and putting on sack- cloth (vv. 5-7). These marks of hu- miliation were shown by all, from the king on his throne to the most humble man. (2) Cried mightily to God (v. 8). In the midst of their humiliation they crier] with Intensity to God. (3) Turned from their evil ways (v. 8). The final test of penitence is turning from sin; It is hating she badly enough to qdlt 1t. 4. Accepted by Goal (v. 10). When the Ninevttes turned from their evils God refrained from executing doom upon them. It averted judgment. God Is unchangeable. Ills holy nature IS unalterably opposed to sin. When leen repent from: their sins his wrath Is turned aside. This is what 'is meant by God repenting. I1. The Necessity of Repentance (Luke 13:1-0). Repentance Is necessary on the part of all, since all tire. sinners, "The wages of stn is death" ' (Itom. 0:23). While God Is unalterably opposed ,,to sin he is Infinitely gracious, His holy nature compels 1:1511 to cause judgment to fall moon those who will not turn from their stns to serve blm. Re- pentance Is not merely n matter of privilege, but of absolute necessity if one would escape the wrath of God, Repentance Is the only door of escape from perdition. It is not a question of how great a sinner one is that de- termines the need for repentance, since God cannot look upon evil: "For thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look upon iniquity" (Hab. 1-13). No one can ever see him in peace unless he turns from his sins. God commands men to repent (Acta 17:30). °. 111. The Blessed Results of Repen- tance (Acts 2:37,38). 1. Remission of sins. Remit means to send away. The one who repents is rid forever of his sins, for he Is a new men in Christ. 2. Gift of the Holy Spirit. When one to regenerated he not only is rid of y his sins, but God, the Holy Spirit, takes up his abode in hire. He,is his teacher, guide and defender. These blessed results ought to move one to repent, The goodness of God ought to provoke men to penitence You Cannot Lose. To have is to use, not to hoard. "He that saveth his life shall lose It." That is the reason for spending yourself - the fact that you cannot lose what you really have; the feet that spirit- ual quantities are real quantities; that the best ie us Is better and stronger than the worst, If we believe lin 1t; that, to the eye of faith, Satan -like lightning-ls forever falling from the heaven of things that endure. -1V.

Her father had beep a wealthy merchant, Many wooers had sought her hand, but only one had made it favorite Impression on the girl's mind. His name was Ralph B -and he earned his bread as a reporter on the staff of a daily newspaper. On such a person Mr. H. was not disposed to bestow his daughter. His success in business had turned his head and be looked forvlard to Janet marry- ing one of higher social standing. Ralph met with only cold glances from Mr. and Mrs. H. -when he en- countered them. Gradually his visits ceased and before the collapse of Mr. business the young man had gone, no one knew where and whither; few cared. Neither Mr. H, -nor his wife long survived their change in fortune. The former had invested ail the money he could raise in a new, and as it turned out, bogus, company. Thus Janet was left entirely unprovided for. She entered the Mayton Hospital, front which she later graduated as a trained nurse. Her first case was with Norman W- an old man of very comfortable means. Here• she remained as his nurse and faithful servant until death called him. His entire property was bequeathed to her at his death. The antiques and curious old statuary of the mansion held a strange charm for her. About a week after Mr. W -'s death she was sitting in the library reading when the sound of an auto brushing the curb came to her ears. Laying aside the book, she arose from her chair and stared to walk towarct the window, but was interrupted by a knock ons the library door, To her answer . the maid announced that a young man wished to see her. Glancing at the card the maid had handed her, Janet recognized the lawyer's name. "Very well", said Janet. "Show hint in. "Good evening, Miss iL--," 1 have rather strange news for you," he re- marked, as he sat down, "Proceed,10said Janet. "Well," began the lawyer, "it ap- pears in some valuable papers of Mr. W- that he did have a married daugh- ter,'who, through some fancily ,dis- agreement, had left her father's home. The girl has since died, but her only child, now a young man, still survives, and he has put in a claim for his mot- her's share of the property 1 have come to inform you beforehand. I shall bring this young man to see you to -morrow and we shall decide what further prcxcd;ngs shall take place." "Certainly," said Janet, "1 shall be very glad to give up that which be- longs to another." After he left she sighed gently. She wondered if she would now have to face the cold world again. She had however, managed Ito save a neat sum; thus she would not be utterly penniless and atter a short rest she would start out once more. The next morning found the lawyer and Mr, W, -'s ,grandson on their way to the mansion, As the young man en- tered his eyes opened In wonderment, as did Janet's, at the antiques, etc, "Say," he grasped, "this is some- thing worth while looking for," They had ,finally reached the library and had just been seated but a few' minutes when Janet entered, "Janet! Miss H.-1 I never thought never imagined I should see youl" "And you, Ralph B.-, are Mr. W -'s grandson?" "So it seems," said Ralph, "1 ata so glad, so glad!" cried Janet. • "Did 1 not mention Miss H -'e name?" the lawyer questioned. "I must have been unusually stupid." Ralph did not answer. He stili held Janet's hand, and at length the lawyer so far recovered his wits as to quit the' room. When he next saw the two 'no men- tion was made of Janet's desire to re- linquish the estate, and the Lawyer put forth a tentative query, - "Settlement?" "Oh, yes, we have arrived at a settlement," Ralph said, with a joyous laugh, "since Janet has consented to marry me." CONSTIPATION, . - LIVER COMPAIAINTr BILIOUS SPELLS. When your liver becomes sluggish and inactive, the bowels become constipated, the tongue becomes coated, the breath bad, the stomach foul and sick, and bilious spells occur on account of the liver holding back the' bile which is so essential to promote the movement of the bowels and the bile gets into the blood, instead of passing through the usual channel. The only proper way to keep the liver active and working properly is to keep the bowels regular by using Milburn s Laxa-Liver P' They work smoothly and gently, and do not gripe, weaken and: sicken asso many laxative pills do.
