3. A fair share of profits to all workers. This is a most important
principle, which can only be solved under the guidance of Christian
brotherhood. In the increased production which will result from wise
economy in distribution, management, and government, an equitable
division of profits between capital, ability, and labour must be
arranged. Interests must be united, industry stimulated, and hope held
out to the humblest worker in a Christian colony. When a young man
commences life in the honourable estate of Christian marriage, it is
the first duty of Christian society to support his hope and energy. The
future of this family is a matter of national concern. Steady industry
deserves a fair and increasing share in the profits it helps to
create. Counsel, if needed, encouragement to the mother in the healthy
and virtuous education of her children, and opportunity for hopeful
occupation, are all positive duties owed to every member of a Christian
society. The fulfilment of this duty depends in a great measure upon
the righteous relation of capital to labour.
4. The formation of insurance funds which will secure aid to every
worker in sickness or old age. Thrift, self-control, and an honourable
sense of independence are the results of such provision, which would be
the greatest possible aid to the noble temperance movement.
5. An arrangement of dwellings which will facilitate communication,
domestic service and supply, sanitary arrangement, the education of
children, and municipal government. These objects must be secured if
the rapid degradation of our poorer English homes is to be checked.
Parental influence and responsibility are equally disappearing in the
homes from which all sanctity has departed.
6. The entire abolition of all trade in the human body.
