speaking of the need of the movement
and told in graphic language what lay
missionaries had done among the

edism. He declared that great
moral reform was arousing the bust
ness and political men of the country.
He quoted the Westerner who said,
kansas is just one campaign after
another" He asked if the Christians
were not going to be behind this great
business men of the country. We
sneer at the Golden Rule and call it
ideal and visionary. but nevertheless
the men who are leading the new
movement in business circles are
striving to carry the Golden Rule in
to politics and business. To bind the
laymen of the country into realiza-
ton of their responsibility toward
those who have not heard the teach

Rule into every act of life is the
scope of the Laymen's movement"
