larged the demand for labor, as. if has multiplied the efficiency of labor. There is no doubt that society has gained one of the great inventions that has made largely for the enlargement or commerce.. that Is the corporate en. tity. The corporation Is a step in ad. vance. It enables people to do toseth. CT what people could not do alone. But with every new step in advance re. responsibilities come. And so society accepting the corporation as an estah- lished fact is proceeding to enact such laws as may be necessary to make fine corporations serve the purpose foP which they were created. and T am sure that the members of this associ. ation recognize that with the large power that corporate action gives sre- striction Is necessary. y
 There is a differences between the corporate man and the natural man, God made man and placed him on His footstool to carry out a Divine decree. Man made the corporation for a ma teriaI purpose. When God made man he set a limit to his existence so that If he was a bad man he could not be long; but when the corporation was created the limit on age was raised and 1t sometimes projects Itself through generation after generation.
 When God made man He gave to mankind a soul and warned him that in the next world he would be held accountable for the deeds done in the flesh, but when man created the cor. poration he could not endow that cor poration with a soul so that if 1t es- capes punishment here it need not fear the hereafter. And this man made giant has been put forth to compete with the God-made man.
 ''I take 1t. then, that can assume that all will recognize the necessity of making competition between the natural man and the fictitious person may not be trodden under foot.
 ITO my mind. the worlds great problem today is not to solve correctS ly the questions about which my dis tinguished friend and dispute; they are the indications of large problem. That problem is the adjustment of the awards of the society. Is there a measure of rewards? believe there is. What is that measure? It is the Di. vine measure; it is the law that God stamped upon the world and this law Is that every citizen shall draw from society a reward proportionate to the service that he renders to society,""

 All our institutions are now being subjected to close scrutiny with a view to providing that some of them should be radically changed. The chief at- tack Is on the institution of private property and Is based upon the in- equalities In the distribution of wealth and of human happiness that are ap- parent in our system.
