A SERMON FOR EVERY MAN.
Under the title “Am I My Brother’s Keeper?” the
Manufacturer’s Record publishes one of the greatest
sermons that has been predeed in this country in many
days. It is a sermon for you and for me—and for ev
ery one. Read it; it will do you good. If it awakens
you it will do the world good. Here it is:
Above all else this country needs a nation-wid.)
■, revival of old-fashioned prayer meeting religion
rm*" A religion that makes a man realize that every act
is a Heaven, there must also of necessity be a Hell—
A religion that makes a man realize that every act
if recorded on his own conscience, and that though that
may slumber, it can never die—
A religion that makes an employer understand that
if he is unfair to his employes and pays them less than
fair wages, measured by ability and their efficiency
and zeal, he is a robber—
A religion that makes an employe know that if he
does not give full and efficient service, he too is a rob
ber—
A religion that makes a farmer, who packs bad
fruit at the bottom and deceives the buyer by the good,
fruit on the top, realize that he is a thief just as much
as the one who robs a hen roost at night—
A religion that makes a man who robs a railroad
of its fare, or it freight bill, know that he robs himself
of all right to feel that he is an honest man—
A religion that makes - a man realize that by driv
ing too hard a bargain with his Servant, his employe,
or his merchant, he can be just as much a profiteer as
the seller or producer who swindles by false weight,
false packing or false charges—
A religion that will teach church members who fail
to contribute to the extent of their ability to the sup
port of religion, and that compels them to recognize
that if they are paying their pastor less than a living
salary, they are robbing God and man alike—
A religion that will make the laboring man, who by
threats of actual violence against the non-union man,
strives to keep him out of employment, realize that he
is at heart a murderer and is murdering the individ
uality, and the liberty of his •fellow-man, and is display
ing a hatred, which if it has the opportunity, will com
mit physical murder—
A religion that will make the politician who yields
principle for the sake of party, who who worships at the
feet of any class and sells his soul for political pre
ferment know that he is not only a coward and pol
troon, and unworthy of the respect of any decent man,
but which will also make him see that he is helping
to murder human liberty, as great a crime as murder
ing the individual man—
In short, we need a revival of that religion which
will make every man and woman strive in every act
of life to do that which, on the great Judgment Day,
they will wish they had done, as with soul uncovered
they stand before the Judgment Seat of the Eternal.
Until the people of this nation accept and live
this religion there will be strife where there should
be peace, there will be strikes and lockouts and mur
der where there shouhj be co-operation and harmony;
there will be hatred where there, should be friendship
and love.
In the Golden Rule, fcßowed in the fullness of
the . pirit of this Kind es le’igion, there would be found
■ i pluton for eve y business trouble; there would be
created friendship between employer and employe;
capital and labor would work in harmony and with
efficiency, efficiency for capital and efficiency for the
labor, with profit to both.
Religion of this kind is not measured by the hope
of a Heaven hereafter, but by the full fruition now
of “Peace on earth to men and good will.”
It is not merely the chanting of hymns here or in
the world to come, but it is in the recognition and
full application by rich and poor, by learned and un
learned, that each one is indeed his brother’s keeper,
that we can bring this country and the world back to
safety.
A nation-wide acceptance of this, the only true re
ligion in action, would bring business peace and world
peace whe; ? there is now turmoil, and men would then
• ease to set': to gain their aims by laww'css acts of
•■mnorality; but Would in : pirit and in ‘d.w'i follow the
D.vine command, “Ail things whatsoever ye would that
men do to you, do ye even so to them.’

GOLD BRICK.
SOME busy fellows in our town are always hust
ling up and down, intent on boosting things;
they want to raisd a bunch of kale to put a flagpole
on the jail, or build new courthouse wings. They
want to paint the country club, or hire some high
ly gifted dub to beautify the grounds; and so they
come to me and say, “We need a lot of coin to
day, so cough up seven pounds.” But always I have
other use for every cent I can produce, some junk
I have to buy; I line up with the easy hicks who
blow themselves for gilded bricks, or strips of azure
sky. I have a gold mine up in Maine, where any
man would be insane who dug around for gold; I
have an ice plant on a shore where arctic billows
always roar, and it is beastly cold. I have a ranch
that ought to grow all kinds of grain that moderns
know, if it had any soil; I have an oil well on a, hill,
where high priced workmen drill and drill, and nev
er reach the oil. I’m always buying costly shares
that ought to make men millionaires, but never, never
do; I’m buying shares in mills and mines, and grizzly
bears and pumpkin vines, and remedies for flu. And
so I cannot spare a red to help our village forge
ahead, to aid the boosters’ fads; assessments always
coming due , it seems to me I’m never through with
shelling out the scads.
( What Other Editors Say }
WHY IS LABOR FOR THE LEAGUE?
c 'J-u. _
Why organized labor is for the League of Na
tions is forcibly and succinctly set forth in a mon
graph by John H.Walker, formerly prpesident of the
Illinois State Federation of Labor of the Illinois Dis
trict of the United Mine Workers. Tnis article, ex
plaining the attitude of the American Federation of
Labor at its recent convention in Atlantic City N. J ,
ampi.hes the reasons advanced at the meeting in the
resolutions adopted.
Mr. Walker, who is the accredited spokesman for
the Federation, declares Labor is for the League o
Nations because every normal-minded per.,on is oppos
ed to war, particularly so the thinkers of the classes
Continuing, he says:
“And it is because .hey believe that a competent
impartial tribunal, selected from the ablest men in the
world, cannot pass judgment on questions involving
humanity without making progress from conditions ob
taining today, that they are strongly in favor of a
League of Nations—a tribunal through which, by peace
ful means, disputes between nations can be settled
without resort to wars such as we have just gone
through. Every mother’s heart has been wrung; every
father’s heart has ached with pain; millions of chil
dren have been made fatherless; billions of property
has been destroyed, and a burden of taxation has been
levied on the human race under which it will stagger
for generations.”
Labor makes a point in the next declaration in
which it calls attention to the fact that every person in
; our own country who openly or secretly supported the
j Central Powers in the recent war opposes the plan;
- that every enemy this government had during the
- war, who was obstructing and hindering the govern
, ment in its efforts to win, and who tried to harrass
; the President, is against it; that every profiteer who got
- rich by betraying the nation and exploiting the de
pendents of the men who fought the battles is against
i it; that every employing corporation refusing recog
; nition to unions is against it. Labor charges that these
, men believe in war and want further opportunities to
i exploit the national resources for their own benefit.
While admitting that there may be defects in the
• covenant, labor insists that tlley are not of sufficient
I gravity to warrant wrecking the plan, and that correc
< i
tions .will be made as time progresses; that the cov'e
; r.ant does not take away any of the rights we now have,
> as is contended, and finally, that it is the only means by
which war in future may be averted.
Mr. Walker’s monograph is one of the most eon-
I vincing arguments yet advanced in favor of the
■ League of Nations, and statesmen opposing it will do
; well to heed its reasoning, because labor proposes to
i make itsejf heard in the determination of this ques
‘ tion, and men who do not heed will find themselves
relegated to private life. Organized labor is determin
‘ ed that war—from which no one profits except those
' who do not need profit, and no one loses except those
who cannot afford to lose—must cease. And in this
i position organized labor is right.—San Francisco Bul-
