PREFACE.

FOR genuine sympathy with the labouring classes each of these preachers is more or less distinguished, having tried for years to rouse the Conscience of the Church and Nation to a full and true sense of duty and privilege in this regard. One of them has the distinction of having walked at the head of 1,200 "Unemployed," from Leicester to London and back to service in their Parish Church, for the purpose of demonstrating the urgent need of Parliamentary legislation and voluntary aid on the subject.

We live in an age by no means free from antagonisms between Capital and Labour--some open, others concealed--and it has never been more distinctly obligatory upon individual Christian men and women to learn what they can of possible solutions for this and the kindred problems of Social Order and Civil Allegiance harnessed along with it.

The Fatherhood of God is clearly the basis of true Churchmanship, and the only reasonable basis between employer and employed consists in a Social Compact between individual men, acting in accordance with the moral and social impulses of their nature. In the strong belief that much profit will ensue from a right recognition of the labour of the Workman and the religion of the Churchman these Sermons have been preached and published.
