Rockefeller at the top of its list of preferred creditors? : Is any church strong enough to keep afloat under such} @ staggering load? a | Let it be freely conceded that John D., as an individual, Reeds the gospel of Jesus as much as any man in America; land that, as a sinner, he is not worse in degree than many a Ihumbler sinner whose name doesn’t get into all the papers. Putting aside all prejudice and allowing him the benefit © of all possible doubt, let's concede that a The fact still remains that his retention in the church, as "one of its foremost members, upon whom many ministers and : en fawn, and whose blood-stained dollars thousands of} | parasitical so-called Christians eagerly scramble for, consti- P) tutes today, in America, the church’s greatest handicap and _ liability. —s 4g It makes mockery of the church's most solemn social ions. E It fills the hearts of millions of working folks with con-| or hate for it. | Tt drags the whole ministry of the church, in the majority | _ of cases perhaps unjustly, into a growing suspicion of hypoc-| _ risy or moral cowardice. a This issue of despotic and murderous capitalism vs Fuman welfare is elemental. The church of today can no : evade or straddle it than the church two generations} could dodge the issue of chattel slavery. | THE CHURCHES WHICH THEN STOOD BOLDLY HUMAN FREEDOM ARE THE CHURCHES CH TODAY ARE LOOKED BACK UPON WITH PECT. The churches which cottoned to slavery or steered a) e course of silence or evasion are today looked upon} universal contempt. The issue focused in the personality of Rockefeller} a bigger and a deeper issue than was the issue of et Negro slavery fell in a limited area upon a single race.| THE SLAVERY REPRESENTED BY ROCKE- ERISM FALLS UPON THE ENTIRE BODY OF| [ERICAN LABOR, WHATEVER ITS RACE OR HUE IND WHEREVER IT SEEKS ITS DAILY BREAD. For its own sake the church must face this greater issue} declare its stand. | To cling to John D. for the sake of his tainted millions to go down, down, down to a coward’s death. To allow his money to muzzle its ministers is to earn a itaph of shame.
