THE CHURCH LEAGUE for INDUSTRIAL DEMOCRACY

“ The C. L. I. D. stands almost alone today as an organization in the Church which is facing the economic problem armed with the commands and promises of Christ” — from T H E CH U RC H AN D IN D U STR Y by Miller and Fletcher.

Since the last General Convention the C. L. I. D. has carried forward its educational program, notably by sponsoring T H E SCHOOL FOR CHRISTIAN SOCIAL ETHICS at the Wellesley Conference; has arranged lecture tours by two notable English Churchmen; has entered labor struggles, notably in Marion, N. C., Danville, Virginia, and in the Coal Fields, where efforts were made to further the sort of economic re­ lationships for which the Church officially stands. Within the past few months the League has also played a leading part in organizing and maintaining T H E CH U RCH EM ERG EN CY R E LIE F C O M M IT ­ TEE, an interdenominational group that has raised thousands of dollars for the relief of strikers, in addition to clothing and other supplies.

If you believe that such an organization has an important place in the life of the Church in this industrial age you are invited to lend your sup­ port through membership and donations.
