Capital and Labor in Prophecy
The proportion of actual and threatened strikes now “on” at this writing can not be told, their condition is just a little too restless. It all may culminate in the biggest strike and most gigantic war between capital and labor ever seen in this country. Compromises may stave off the sure-coming trouble a little longer. The enlightened Christian must watch with interest this great struggle, in which he can not take sides with either party. He may sympathize with the poor and oppressed, but he can not adopt the principles of trade unionism. Monopoly in work is as wrong as monopoly of wealth and business. Both are unchristian; both issue in oppression and suffering. How many taking part on either side see in these great movements the fulfilment and demonstration of divine prophecy?
