Excerpt from Christianity and Labour
The entire social and economic situation which is summed up, sometimes so lightly, as the labour problem is so difficult and critical, that it is the duty of every Christian patriot to do what he can to discover and apply the right solution. It has been said that to ask a question aright is half the answer, and to understand this problem aright would be far more than half the solution. The attempts which have been made to solve it have, however, only too seldom been preceded as they should have been by earnest endeavour to find out exactly what it is. Even where there have been sympathy and freedom from prejudice there has frequently been essential ignorance.
The labour problem lies at the very heart of the still wider problem of Collectivism or Socialism, which has grown to such dimensions in recent years; and believing, as I do, that it is not only more complicated than ever, but that it has in it all the elements of revolution and even of disaster, unless Christ is made our guide, I venture to make my contribution to its solution; not as a partisan or an expert, but as a peacemaker and a Christian student of history.
