CHRISTIANITY AND
THE SOCIAL TEACHING

Editor Pensacola Journal.
That the Christian teaching is a
social teaching no one can deny.
All philanthropy, civic Righteousness
of the cross.
That men are growing more and
more democratic, and consequently
more toward universal brotherhood, Is
evidenced by a demand from scores of
the worlds leaders that war cease,
labor receive its just reward, the help
less be protected byAthe strong and
the ignorant and wsyward taught in
the ways of health and righteousness.
More and more is the true spirit of
the gospel teaching being recognized,
that this world is but a school to pre-
pare men and women for higher
sphere of living.
Self-preservatio1 and attendant
selflshness is the first law of nature
and it was in this loaf that the leaven
was placed when the Christ gave up
His life.
For the past two thousand years
this sacrifice has been the inspiration,
leading thousands TO give their lives
for the uplifting of humanity In 8
thousand ways.
All that is good in the world today
can be traced with unerring accuracy
to this source.
From this has sprung universal edu-
cation with consequent discovery and
invention.
Man is mostly creature of environ
ment. Only the great souls among US
rise above their surroundings. To
completely pervade the whole world,
the Christian teaching must of neces-
sity first change the environment Of
man. This ii has done and is doing.
The farther it goes, the faster it
changes.
Only within the past one hundred
years has the world produced enough
for the sustenence of all. Today
more than enough is produced. One
man now produces enough for his own
and other beside. Instead Of one fur
row at a time. the steam plow now
makes ten. So, all along the line OF
production and transportation. The
latest happening in Africa is chron-
icled a few hours or minutes later In
America.
There is no longer any excuse for
famine and want. Still thousands suf-
fer daily from ignorance. malnutritior
and overwork.
IF Christianity has, in addition TO
giving solace to numberless thousands,

Where May. the
Line Be Drawn?

News stories from New York are to
the effect that the five and ten cent
stores have consolidated and that all
of them will be directed by one COM
pany, this company to be capitalized
for sixty-five million dollars. AT
present the amalgamated company
will do business in the United States,
Canada and Great Britain, while it
intends to extend its stores into all
parts of the world.
VIII the powers that be consider this
a trust in restraint of trade and order
it dissolved. is the question that sug-
gests itself to the casual reader, or
will they decide that it is good
trust and allow it to proceed.
From an unbiased standpoint it
looks as If the amaigamation viii be
a benefit, provided the prices OF the
goods remain the same, for such a
mammoth company will be able to Sc
cure it's goods cheaper and will put
more articles in reach of the patrons
of these stores than could otherwise
be done with several companies bid
ding for this class of trade.
Smaller dealers would suffer, of
course, but right now we are looking
at it from the standpoint of general
good to all concerned. The scope of
these stores will be increased and the
people of the countries of the world
would be given the benefit of cheaper
goods. On the other hand, if the COM
pany gets monopoly of the business
1t may decide to raise the prices and
in this way work to the disadvantage
of the buyers.
According to the present laws gov
erning these things it is hard to de-
eide where the dividing line really is.
In fact, new laws will have to be
made before a case of this kind can be
successfully handled. A national COM
mission of some kind ought to be al
lowed to regulate these big companies,
for If they are properly managed and
90 not have to pay dividends on
watered stocks they will be a benefit
to millions of buyers the world over.

Two Lives
For Is Cents.

Two fools in Georgia quarreled over
Is cents and both were shot dead.
There can be no protest against call
ing them fools. The littleness of the
amount involved, as measured against
life. or even against peace and order,
is too striking. Yet, if all the men
who put their lives up against trivial
things were to be called fools there
would be lot of them.
What a host of people are dead or
manned all over this and other lands
just because they were plucky or
foolish.
Physical courage, commonly ac-
cepted as one of the noblest qualities,
may become one of the basest. Like
any other virtue, it, can become a
fault
An army of good men have been
killed in defense of things not worth
a thousandth part of the cost. Among
them are those who, from mistaken
notions of courage, get up in the dead
or night to face the armed burglar
that is sure to be ready and desperate
There is fine courage In this, to be
sure. But there is far finer courage
and better sense in quietly suffering
the loss of the sackful of baubles a
burglar may carry off. which are of
little value at all when life is gone
The world has been almost depopu-
lated of it's best and bravest men at
times by wars over opinions which
time has proved not worth holding,
let alone dying for.
Either of these Georgians, who are
now shot to death, would have laughed
to scorn the idea of sacrificing his life
for SO paltry thing as Is cents. 1t
was uncomfortable temper and mis-
applied courage, that carried them to
their destruction.
The best courage of all is the cour-
age to control ones temper.
