Excerpt from Socialism and Christianity
The study Of Pauperism and Crime involved the examination of many pamphlets and official reports, as well as the standard treatises on political economy. This proved to be by far the most painful and Op pressive part of my task, but I have spared neither time nor thought in the endeavor to secure a clear and exact understanding Of these most perplexing problems Of industrial and social life. I have endeav ored to trace them to their proximate and remote causes, and by a careful diagnosis to indicate the re medial treatment to which they must be subjected. The extended discussion, in the closing chapter, on the true doctrine of the family, grew out of the deep cuing conviction that in all radical and permanent soci.l reform, a high view of tile sanctity of marriage must lead the way.
I may add that the substance Of these chapters was given in a series of Sunday evening discourses in my own church, while this volume was passing through the printer's hands; and the favor with which they were received leads me to hope that I shall not speak without effect to the wider audience, whose ear I now seek to gain.

Excerpt from Socialism and Christianity
The cobbler should stick to his last. This old and homely saying may he quoted against me by those who are inclined to divorce religion and ethics from political economy. It is high time that a pro entered against such an attempted separation, and that the religious leaders of the people acquaint themselves with the industrial and social problems of our day to be prepared to apply the principles of the New Testament to their solution. An applied Christianity is as much needed now as when Paul passed, without hesitation and apology, from the profoundest theological argument to the plainest and most incisive criticism of the social life of the Roman Empire. The lines of controversy were never more sharply drawn than they are at present, and the opposing disputants are not always careful to maintain the temper of dispassionate argument. They must he brought together upon common ground, and that can be done only by exhibition and exposition of fundamental and immutable principles. Every great debate is an ethical one, and only at the bar of an enlightened conscience can it be rightly and permanently settled.
