Result of the New Order

| Now. out Of that change that social
change. has come this dcvclopin" force
OF cOllcctivi>m. the force exercised over
the individual. This Is not AN unhappy
change: it is Il happy change But it
brings upon each one of Us. is he earns
his livelihood. as he provides for the
needs Of his family. other duties-the
duties toward society as whole and
he duty that all of us are bound to
work for the development of the ethics
of industries and for the development
of the ethics of free government.
need not say that much i'm our existing
industries is not ethical and much in
our existing practice of government is
not ethical. and il is the duty of each
one of lis to contribute to the improve
ment of the ethics of industry and the
ethics of government.
How are we going to do that: We
are going to do it by observing Micah'S
definition of reIi oion: What doth the
Lord require of thee but to do Justly. to
love mercy and to walk humblv with
thy God: That i the hest definition of
religion that has ever been written.
And every cne of us needs to try to
improve. to advance the means of doin-
Justly. one man To another one indus
try toward the community of customers
"a government dcalin" with multitule-
OF men. who ought to be left free and
equal. And to love mercy: that is the.
dlvIne>t Of qualities. And industries
are often not merciful. Governments
are often not truly mcrciiul. And. last
ly. in Nicah'> words. Walk humbIv
with thy Cod Commune with linn:
think of Him and love Him. and in that
love and in that daily communion find
