L, Abbott at Y. M. C. A, “Bach the conflict between ital and the difficuities between the -~ » sald F. - ‘complicated,’ L. Abbott last evening in his_discourse at the Y.'M.°C. A. hall. Wi trust magna d the rich are year- Iy adding millions to their accounts, ‘While the | the laborihg” class find their condi- | tion more and more ‘intolerable: “There is no lack of wealth .in ‘the world. As the prophet Isalah said con- cerning conditions to exist in the last ays, “Thé land 1§ full of silver and £0ld, neither is there any end of their treasures’ Tsa. 2:7. This statement we see strikingly fuifilled in the world just now. But it is a well known fact that -this unprecedented wealth is. in the hands of but few people.. This condition has beeri spoken of in the following ‘words, ‘Go_to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries shali come upon you. -Your riches are. corrupted, and your garments are motheaten. Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it wers fire._ Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days® James §: 1-3. “Not only did James foretell the amassing of fortunes and the form: tion of great trusts in the last days. but their methods were also delineated In verss four, where it says, ‘Behold the hire of the laborers who have reaped vour fields, is of you kept back by fraud, crieth. Amos 5:11, 12 also reveals this point In Gnmistakable lan- guage: ‘As your treading is upon the poor, and ye take from him burdens of wheat: ye have built houses of hewn stone. They afflict the just; they take a bribe, andrturn aside the poor in the gate from their right. These scriptures clearly indicate that in these @ays the rich will obtain thelr Wealth by opmressing the poor. “The organization of Jabor unions is but the fulfiliment of prophecy re- garding our times. God has said for his people not to put their trust in them, but In Isa. 8:11-13, ‘While because of the exaspérating conditions which the masses face, it would seem to warrant the organizing of men in laboring circles to- control capital and _to 'abolish capitalism, there are too many indications of the prevalence among many of & determi- nation to abolish the capitalist as well. That violent and uniawfal mesns have been resorted to by many connected with labor organizations cannot be de- uied. If labor unions must ‘exist they should have for their object the rais. ing of the standard of work so the members can offer to their employers superior skill and faithfulness in the dischargs of duty. God says to the capitalists, Rob not the poor, because he i poor: neither sppress the afflicted in the gate: for the Lord will plead thelr cause, and spail the soul of those that spoiled them. Prov. 22: 23, 23." To the la- bering man God says, ‘Do violence to no man, neither accusq any falsely: and be content with yolr wages.’ The pictures thrown on the screen and the music were enjoyed by all. The questions which were to be an- swered were quickly disposed of and an invitstion extended for more to be brought in. CO.
