WHO ARE THE WORKERS?
In discussing the relationship of the Church to the workers, it may be just as well to ask who are the workers" The Rev. J. Kennedy Elliott asked the question in the course of a sermon in a Presbyterian Chuich at Wellington on Sunday evening. The horny-handed sons of toil were not he said, the only workers. The man who conducted a business was Za worker, and the man the skill and science to amputate a w and was out all hours during the ■£an'. ni«ht was a working man. Where did the eight hours come m with tuese rcen?' The legislation which placed inferior men on the same t'ootuig as superior men was coddling the workers. Where the e was no incentive to work there .was a grave danger, of working men deteriorating.
