Show WOULDN'T WE BE HAPPIER. B. Fay Mills: "Why may not a physician seek only the welfare of his patient Instead of personal profit or reputation? Why may not a manufacturer establish his factory oil principles princi-ples of brotherly co-operation, and the greater his genius, the greater would be his contribution contribu-tion to the welfare of his economic family and of the community? Why may not a merchant endeavor primarily to minister to the needs of men as to those of his own brothers? Why may he not Improve the morahof trade, elevate the taste of the community, and first, last and always be concerned for 'the man at the other end of the bargain?' Why may not a carpenter build in love the house he knows will be occu-pled occu-pled by his own brother or sister? Why may not a gardener put as mucli love Into the tilling of the soil and the production of the fruits of the giound as though he were certain they would be eaten by his very own as they certainly cer-tainly will? The fact that It Is only when men ask, 'Will it pay?' as a vital question, that they are skeptical as to the possibility of a truly Christian economic system and practice. Any man who will, may live this life now, and no organized selfishness can hinder or make void his endeavor." |
