FROM OUR EXCHANGES

[The Outlook.]

To preach to labor demagogues and millionaire tyrants that they are criminals against God and man because of their unrighteousness, to preach to both parties to a labor conflict that the way to social peace is arbitration, not war, to point out to all classes that the happiness of one cannot be obtained at the expense of the others, and that joy comes through putting one's self in his neighbor's place, is preaching the gospel. It is preaching fashioned after that of the parable of the Good Samaritan, the Rich Fool, and the Last Judgment. To preach in this fashion one does not to be a trained sociologist; he does not need to be a business expert; he does not need to take sides in any pending controversy, or to make himself the advocate of either the laborer or the capitalist. He only needs to study the teachings of Jesus Christ, to possess the spirit of Jesus Christ, and with the courage of Jesus Christ to apply Christ's principles and inculcate Christ's spirit.
