worsted wrong would triumph Held we fall tall to rise are baffled to fight tight better Sleep to wake The poet speaks truth Providence has so created created created cre cre- manor man man or evolution has so shaped him if it you put to way the th t way that thoro no oo fo spur to his soul than the Incentive of the un- un un achieved Always the unaccomplished that seems worth while challenges his ambition his courage his determination Man has already accomplished much on this so earth aith so much that he tie has now a vision of what his goal should be so be-so so much that he Is now able to see how far lie he has fallen short of reaching that goal And no age has hns been so well equipped to move on to that goal as this present age Never has the incentive to the achievement o of that goal been so strong For man cannot stand still sUlI He lie must press onward to the goal or fall faU back and lose much that he has gained Failure to reach the tho goal emphasizes the Incompleteness of all that has hns been acc accomplished And this shining goal is nothing less than the message of the season season sea sen son Peace on earth eaith good will to men Practically this means the reformation of human nature And the reformation reformation of human nature m means ans nothing less less less' than the worldwide world application application tion of precepts of Christianity to the affairs of or J j mankind Christianity was blamed for not preventing the great war wm It has since been blamed for not pre pre- venting the Industrial strife and the economic Ills and other evils that have ha afflicted the world Perhaps Perhaps Perhaps Per Per- haps the tiie th est t best answer In brief to this charge Is the 11 utterance credited to George Bernard Bornard Shaw v Christianity has hus not yet jet et been tried It Is a n noteworthy fact that during the last year rear men of affairs speaking from the vl viewpoint of oC business and not that of religion have ha publicly declared that in the application of the tile teachings of the Gospel lies Bes the one cure for the industrial Ills growing out of w world wide orld economic warfare Some of them have gone gono so far fm as to declare that nothing but a sincere acceptance of Christianity can save sa society from utter ruin and und civilization from flom a complete collapse It Is not contended b by them that Christianity contains a n panacea that will at nt once cure all nIl Industrial Industrial In In- clust and economic ills 1118 They know that no such panacea exists They admit that Christianity Christian not teach economics does not Instruct its ity t does ato a afo to t to n and distribution does not In short set forth a system of industry in iii Inan an any form 01 OJ shape They start star from a different basis and their reasoning Is about like me this Christianity however does set forth n a morn moral I formula that can cnn be tie at all times to all nil systems This Tills moral formula Is tin fin active e solvent of wrongs under any fumy system Its application cn can can- cure the Die defects of an any system IU not so much bi by changing the system ns as by hy changing the attitude c of if men melt to aul one another Practical Christianity would not tolerate injustice tire thee of an nn any kind With Injustice of all kinds ban bait I herl from the affairs of at men nut and existing economic and industrial s systems would either remodel remodel re n re- re model themselves or would be cast aside In short economic regeneration would come about as IS a byproduct by by- product in connection with the larger moral re re- regeneration generation of oi mankind through the acceptance of ot Christianity For In Jn th the lie last lust analysis ls the faults of if lC
