THE CHURCH AND THE PEOPLE
THE RICH COMPARED TO ANANIAS. MR. LLOYD-GEORGE'S CRITICISM. By Cable—Press Association—Copyright. London, August 30. Mr. Lloyd-George, in a speech after Having the foundation stone of a church at Neath. South Wales, said that a great wave of impatience with economic conditions prevailed. It was imperative that the churches should undertake the improvement of the people's material welfare. .Ananaias made a false property return, in order to reduce his contributions to the community, and there were too many of this type to-day. Multitudes, in spite of their grinding toil, did not earn enough to keep body and soul together, while others "toiled not, neither did they spin," possessing superabundance. He had been accused of setting class against class. If it were a criminal offence to call attention to the existing inequalities, all lie could say was that social conditions called for immediate readjustment. He advised the well-to-do to try and keep their families on a pittance like the millions of workers —it would cure them of sin and uncharitablencss.
The nation lwd just emerged from what might have been a catastrophe, and if they neglected the lesson the next struggle would be infinitely worse.
