INDUSTRIAL STRIFE

CHEISTIANITY THE CURE. "The Economics of the Kingdom of God." By Paul B. Bull, C.E. London: George Allan arid tTnwin, Ltd.

Father Bull, the well-known member of • tho Inisfield Community of th Re-' surrection, has made a courageous attempt to solve the industrial problems of our age. He shows that there is a common mind throughout Christendom condemning certain features of the prosent organisation of industry arid commerce. His arguments are supported by statements culled from many schools of thought. Ho is not afraid to call a spade a spade and to condemn with destructive criticism the wages system as the cause of class warfare. Neither does he spare those who say that tho Church has nothing to do with politics: "To say that the Church has nothing to do with politics or economics is to banish God from 95 per cent, of the life of man." Ho castigates many of his own calling and in a fearless manner, after much destructive criticism, offers many constructive suggestions for the cure of the world's industrial ills. He expresses the hope that Christians will be'led/to/formulate a social conscience, and-that social reformers "will realise that an increasing weight of Christian judgment is supporting them.
