That is civic righteousness. The chamber knows, as
well as clergy that IT is righteousness which exaeth
a nation and that sin only is reproach to any
people but a heavy handicap TO material prosperity
The preachers are equally aware with the business
men that wealth honestly acquired and unselfshy
used for public benefit is means of promoting moral
welfare Both agree that devoo opmen of resources in
cludes moral as we'll material ones and that the de-
veopment Of each should hand in hand and at equal
pace with that Of the other.
