Hit by Hard Bargains.
You hear of concessions to foreign
capital in Latin America; that con-
cessions are not granted in the United
States; that when capital comes it
comes invited but is not privileged,
The Latin American states have had
harder bargains driven with them
than any other place in the world"
The President said that the United
States is trying to deal with the
Latin American states in terms of
equality and honor and that the
State Department is now trying to
deal with them in a new spirit. The

ms IS the g OF the QUESTION
mark. Everything must stand the
test Of the new times. Nothing is
taken for granted. Even the most
fundamental institutions, like the fam
lily, are being challenged. Peters ad-
mOnitiOn TO Christians to be ready TO

swer concerning the faith that Is ia
them. was never more needed than
today. And the explanation Of Chris

comprehends is that which is written
in terms Of character

ment for Christianity is a Christian
life
Every little while somebody raises
The farmer and mechanic. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 18??-19??, 1913-08-19

The final proof of Christianity is
Christians. 1t makes men of those
qualities of character which have
come to be designated by the word
"Christian.' AS We may fairly
judge Buddhism by Buddhists, Confu-
cianism by ConfucianistS and MOham-
mechanism by Moslams, SO we may
test Christianity by its Christians.
That proposition opens up to US a
vista Of the noble men and women we
have known; the holy mothers and
strong fathers: the persons who have
won to greatness of character and ser
vice because Of their religion. The
unselfsh and helpful folk whom we
call to mind are legion. We recall
too, that the persons among our &C
quaintances who have stood for the
highest ideal Of refinement and cui
ture and citizenship have been Chris
tianS. We see the benevolent inStitu-
tons Of our time kept going by Chris
tians. The new passion for social
justice and w~ell-being had it's first
prophets in the church, and today
draws it's principal support therefrom
So, in spite Of many Of us who have
come far short Of our Christian vision
we may fairly rest the case Of Chris
tianity on it's finished product-Chris-
tians.
