Excerpt from Three Months in a Workshop: A Practical Study When the present work appeared in Germany, it produced a profound sensation and led to important social action in several directions. The chief result was perhaps the formation of a Society, the Evangelical Social Congress, for the study of social questions by adherents of the Evangelical Church, and of this Society the author was made Secretary. The Society holds annual gatherings which are notable, and publishes reports of these and also leaflets, its aim being two-fold, viz. to throw a light on the social problems of our day, and to stimulate the conscience of Christian people to a better performance of duty. The story is a very simple one. The author, a theological student, perplexed by conflicting theories and reports touching the lot of the wage-earners, their habits of thought, their struggles and their aspirations, determines to become a wage-earner himself, and, donning the garb of a workman, finds employment in a large manufacturing establishment in industrial Saxony.
