6 THE K I N G ’ S BUS I NESS Dr. Case’s benefit,, we warn him,—it tells of the peril of adding to or sub tracting anything from the words of this book. (22:18-20). It may be a bogy to Dr. Case because of the awful truths set forth there which verify other parts of the scripture, which, no doubt, he would be glad to eliminate. He might read the 24th of Matthew, verses 29-31, and the 25th of Matthew, vs. 31-46, and find a bogy there. He will find a bogy in the third chapter of 2nd Peter. He might find one in Jude and would do well to meditate upon verses 16-18. It is a fearful condition which confronts the Church when men in high places in divinity schools and seminaries are used of Satan to deceive the student committed to them by the Church with such silly, senseless state ments and hoodwink the ignorant, unsaved people concerning the solemn statements of God’s Holy Word. We pity him, we pray for him, we warn him Our Lord says it were better for such a man that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea. “Where ignorance is bliss, it were folly to be wise.”— T. C. H. sfc? a » B U S IN E S S M E N Sense tke N e ed o f tke Hour Richard H. Edmonds of Baltimore, Editor of the Manufacturer’s Record, an industrial magazine of national reputation, says in an editorial of August 28: ' ' ; ■ ■ H H I “ Above all else this country needs a nation-wide revival of old-fashioned prayer meeting religion; a religion that makes men realize that if there 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 it may slumber it can never die; a religion that makes an employer, understand that if he is unfair to his employees and pays them less than fair wages, measured by his ability and their efficiency and zeal, he is a robber; a religion that makes an employee know that if he does not give full and efficient service, he too is a robber; a religion that makes a man realize that by driving too hard a bargain with his servant, his employes’, 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. In short, we need a revival of religion which will make every man and woman strivS in every act of life to do that which on the great judgment day they will wish that they had done, as with soul uncovered they stand before the judgment seat of the Eternal.” , / On September-2, in the Babson’s Barometer Letter to Merchants, Bank ers and Investors, Mr. Babson of Boston published an editorial entitled, “ The Need of the Hour” from which we quote the following: “ The need of the hour is not more legislation. The need of the hour is more religion. More religion is needed everywhere,— .from the halls of Congress to the factories, mines and forests. It is one thing to talk about plans and policies, but a plan and policy without a religious motive is like a watch without a spring, or a body without the breath of life. The trouble today is that we are trying to hatch chickens from sterile eggs. We may have the finest incubator in the world, but unless the eggs have the germ of life in them, all of your efforts are of no avail. The solving of the labor situation is wholly a question of religion. The wage worker will never be satisfied with higher wages and shorter hours any more than you and I are satisfied with more profits and a bigger house. Things never did satisfy any one and never will. Satisfaction and contentment are matters of reli gion. . Meanwhile what is happening to our churches? They are going to seed: The ministers are paid starvation wages and the whole church industry lacks pep and imagination. And yet the church is the only organization in existence for generating right motives in man. Schools develop intellect, theaters and novels
