Should Pulpits Address Capital, Labor, and Politics?

As reported in the San Francisco Chronicle of February 8, Dr. Cruzan thinks that the relations of capital and labor and other political questions should be discussed more in the pulpit. This may be, but nevertheless it does seem to us that the apostle’s was the better plan; he wrote to the Corinthians: “I determined not to know anything among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.” Has the subject been exhausted? has the world something really better to take its place, or has the time come when men will not endure sound doctrine?
