PELF, PIETY, AND POVERTY.
COMMERCIAL SYSTEM CONDEMNED.
BUT REMEDY NOT STATED.
(Received 1, 9 a.m.) Melbourne, April 1. Addressing the Baptists’ confer-: ence, the Reverend Collins declar- i dd one did not find the worst sin-; ners in the slums, out in the sub- i urbs where elegant pagans played : golf on Sunday mornings and bridge on Sunday nights, and on the other six days of the week at the shrine of the goddess of get-ting-on. The Churcn and the democracy were at cross-purposes. Was ! it any wonder working men associ-1 ated the Church with wealth and privilege, officered by men of prom -! in ent rings and combines and led! by men who talked starving work-: ers into submission? No wonder they reproached the Church, which, acquiesced in a system which made; one class unwholesomely rich, and! doomed the opposite class to « life-! long struggle against conditions j which sapped the physique, ’lunt-j cd the moral sense and embittered! the soul.
