Woodsworth, James S. [Shaver]

Strangers Within Our Gates, or Coming Canadians

Toronto, F. C. Stephenson, 1909. First edition. Hardcover. pp. 331. 8vo. Green cloth with gilt lettering to spine and b&w pastedown photo to front board. Many tables, photos, illustrations, etc. Edgewear, cloth a bit wrinkled over spine (production error?), spine slant, hinges tender (mull visible, starting at front), a few pencilled notations; good. "Observing the grim results of industrial capitalism in Canada and Britain, Woodsworth concluded that his church's stress upon personal salvation was wrong. Moving from middle-class pulpits to a city mission, All People's, Winnipeg, he worked with immigrant slum dwellers 1904-13.. By 1914 he had become a controversial supporter of trade-union collective bargaining and an ardent democratic socialist - on Fabian and British Labour Party lines. He was also adamantly pacifist, seeing war as a product of capitalist and imperial competition, and he was fired from a governmental social-research position in 1917 for openly opposing conscription." - Canadian Encyclopedia. Despite his then-progressive stance, through a 21st century lens, the ideas and terminology herein are difficult to read; as such this is an important, neglected, piece of Canadian history. Introduction by J. W. Sparling; Author's Preface.The Missionary Society of the Methodist Church, Canada; The Young People's Forward Movement Department Text-Book No. 5. Scarce. Peel 3353. .
