bigorty, hatred, suspicion, prejudice
with the intent to build barriers be
tween those who differ in creed, in
degree of wealth, in race and in
quality of mind.
“Our Christ was no respecter of
persons. He drew no line. The
size of one’s pocketbook was of no
interest to Him. He dined with pub
licans and with sinners. Essential
and fundamental human worth were
His regard and He valued and re
spected the personality, the individ
uality, the soul of every man, woman
and child. His disciples were humble
men. He came for the Jews and
for the Gentile, for the rich and the
poor, for those of high and of low
estate. He merely asked that they
follow Him, that they believe in
Him and that they practice His
Word.
“There are sinister movements in
American life, some of which mas
querade falsely beneath the titles
of American and Christian which
are neither American or Christian
and those camouflaged bearers of
hate and of discord must be openly
and fearlessly opposed by the church
of Christ if His peace is to prevail
throughout this nation.
Peace Needed in Industry
“Christ and His peace are needed
in the industrial world. There is an
apparent increase in the use of the
spirit of Jesus in this field. Here
and there we hear and see the Golden
Rule applied by serious-minded men,
many of whom sincerely advocate
its adoption as a fundamental Chris
tian principle in the dealings of
men who make up the vast industrial
mechanism that feeds, clothes and
transports America. But so much
remains to be done. Strikes, costly
in life and in money, unemployment,
the labor of little children, an old
age of poverty, an insufficient wage,
a spirit of enmity between employer
and employe and an attitude of sus
picion on the part of the great buy
ing public are symptoms of a social
disease badly in need of the peace
of our Lord.
“We have yet to learn that the
welfare, the happiness, the prosperity
of the man in overalls, the investor,
the owner, the engineer who guides
the train ,the farmer, the babe who
drinks his milk, the housewife who
prepares the food, those who wear
and those who make garments, are
embroidered together in a garment
of necessity that demands that they
all work together in harmony lest
they will perish. The church must
lead here in the preaching of that
gospel which affords the only under
girding principle that will make for
eventual peace and good will among
these who are interdependent upon
each other.
“And what of those who govern
and who represent us? An authority
in the Attorney General’s office has
said that the Teapot Dome investi
gation was but a boil on the body
politic whereas the real source of
danger lies in the neglect that is
evidenced by the pernicious anemia
with which the small towns and
cities of our land are politically
dying. The old zeal for honesty and
efficiency, for the conservation and
protection of life, which imbued the
founders of this democracy, must be
restored and be reaffirmed by the
church and her followers.
“We must become so practical that
we shall evidence our faith by our
appearance at the polls and by the
quality and intelligence of our vote.
The church is not to end with pray
ers for a better day in «ur halls of
government and for better men in
positions of leadership in high places,
but she must work to attain these
ends. We are not merely to add laws
to our books but preach observance
and practice observance.”
