A Sermon for Every Man.
Under the title “Am I My Bro
ther’s Keeper?” the Manufactu
rers Record preaches one of the
greatest sermons that has been
preached in this country in many
years. It is a sermon for you and
for me —and for every one. Read
it; it will do you good. If it
awakens you it will do the world
good. Here it is:
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 is recorded
on his own conscience, and though
that may slumber, it can never
die —
A religion that makes an em
ployer understand that if he is
unfair to his employes and pays
them less than fair wages, meas
ured by ability and their efficiency
and zeal, he is a robber —
A religion that makes an em
ploye know that if he does not
give full and efficient service, he
too is a robber —
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
that robs a railroad of its fare, or
a 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 driving 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 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
support of religion, and that com
pels 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
violence against the non-union
man, strives to keep him out of
employment, realize that he is at
heart a murderer and is murder
ing the individuality, and the lib
erty of his fellow-man, and is
displaying a hatred, which if it has
the opportunity, will commit
physical murder —
A religion that will make the
politician who yields principle for
party, who worships at the feet of
any class and sells his soul for
political preferment know that he
is not only a coward and poltroon
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 murdering the invalid
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 Great
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 murder where there
should be co operation and har
mony; there will be hatred where
there should be friendship and
love.
In the Golden Rule, followed in
the fullness of the 'spirit of this
kind of simon pure religion, there
would be found a solution for
every business trouble; there
would be created friendship be
tween employer and employe;
capital and labor would work in
harmony and with efficiency, effi
ciency for capital and efficiency
for labor, with profit to both.
Religion of this kind is not meas
ured by the hope of a Heaven
hereafter, but the full fruition
now of “Peace on earth to men
and good will.”
It is not merelv the chanting of
hymns here or in the world to
come, but it is in the recognition
and full application by rich and
poor, and 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 religion in ac
tion, would bring business peace
and world peace where there is
now turmoil, and men would then
cease to seek to gain their aims
by lawless acts of immorality;
but would in spirit and in deed
follow the Divine command, “All
things whatsoever ye would that
men do to you, do ye eyen so to
them.”
No high cost of dying is allowed
by the government. We see where
railroads hereafter will be requir
ed to transport corpses at regular
fare, with a minimum charge of
sl, provided corpse and coffin do
not weigh more than 500 pounds,
the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion has announced in a ruling.
No extra charge for flowers will
be allowed. So, as Goldberg says,
“It costs a lots to live and too darn
much to die.” —Greensboro Her
ald-Journal.

Examine Yourself.
If we look within ourselves we
may find the inconsistencies which
we so readily complain of in oth
ers. The nearer we ourselves ap
proach perfection, the fewer faults
we see in those about us.
“What’s the matter with the
American dollar?” inquires an
anxious critic. Nothing, nothing
at aii. A dollar is a dollar, and is
worth a hundred cents —no more,
and no less. But inflated prices
have made its purchasing power
only about one-half what it was a
few years ago'. Swat the price
booster, and the dollar will perk
up again.

A Post-War Maxwell Gets
Many a Longing Look
PASSERS-BY, upon seeing a Post-War
Maxwell parked at the curb, often stop and
look it over.
They are struck by the “atmosphere” of the car,
its clean, polished, refined look, its rare symmetry of
line, and the evident sincerity in its construction.
Thousands who have the rare fortune of pos
sessing a Post-War Maxwell have been gratified
time and again by the silent approval of the man on
the curb. But tL y have a double satisfaction;
they know they diive not only a good looking car
but a remarkably good acting car.
For there have been a score or more of rather
revolutionary improvements in the Maxwell.
They can tell a volume about that easy castering
effect in steering which a new type front axle gives,
or that perfectly happy and secure feeling that is
experienced when the emergency brake is applied
(it’s on the transmission shaft), or how the car hugs
the road as a result of that masterly new rear axle.
When o r stops to realize the great virtues of the
300,000 Maxweils that precede this, notes the new
improvements, estimates their cost, and observes
that the price is only $985 f. o. b. Detroit, he gets a
pleasant surprise—but not one bit more than when
he takes his first ride behind the wheel.

Your Watch Your Companion
Any man who owns a good watch is proud of it. He
has a right to be, for it is the one daily companion that he
can always rely upon to fulfill its exacting duty. He really
loves to boast of “Ye Olde Faithful” who has never done him
the mean trick of giving the wrong information.
Have you just such a companion? You CAN have.
