The .ery atmosphere is charged
with reform: there has never been
time IN the history of the world
that mrn and women everywhere
werr 80 intensely interested in re-
forms, for the bctterment of the
humau race. Yet, rapid as our
American progress is in material
affair, especially commerce we
progress slowly in moral and econ
Omical reforms. Many agencies
are working in us many different
ways Tor equally as many different
reforms and, to some extent one
class of reiorIncrS are obStructiug
some other class of reforIners and
thus rctarding the accomplish
ment Of i%ndable and, much to be
desired reform. Variety, lends in
tercSt to the very drudgery of life's
duties, but, SyS EN- and unitication
reduces the labor and increases the
results Of expended effort. Finau-
clels have applied the law of con
cent!auOn To nearly all their en-
terpris"I and through the tinanciers
applied to our transportation and
industrial undertakings, with suf-
hcIcnt success to warrant the ap-
pIlcatlon OF this grand old prime
val law to all other agencies on
foot for the bettcrment of human
lty. Natures word to her atoms is
combine, concentrate. The com
mand of Holy Writ to mankind
under our Christian dispensatiou
IS TO concentrate our lives, our
loves. our hopes, our fears and ex-
psrlence>, under One God, one
Brotherhood.
The logical application of the
Divine and natural law is of suf-
hcienL authority to meet the APP
proval of all our varied beliefs
without conflict. The demon

THIS dual law applied to finance,

OF the race. We have many
''truSts"--to use a common term
but, no trust Of greater import or
responsibility attaches to human
persons than, the divine and ma
tur&l trust Of universal brother
mood, which if | might venture IL
definition for, would mean loving
co operation.
Trust busting' is now Il na-
uoudI employment, and some very
pron'lnent men are engaged in the
NorN OF 'buSting' these combina-

community and the scope of their
operation Is governed by the gross

more OF the common stock than
