HOW CROOKED ARE YOU?

We read the command to love our
enemies, to forgive those who wrong
us, TO refrain from resisting evil, and
to go the second mile with him who
compels US to go with him the first
mile. 1t seems a hard saying. The
Sermon on the Mount and making a
living do not seem to match. The
problem was expressed recently by a
young lawyer. who wanted to be a
Christian in his profession but found
the tide of business affairs in his COM
munity running strongly against the
gospel of the Golden Rule. He asked,
How crooked can man be and still
be straight"
At first sight the world seems to be
organized on a fighting rather than on
a peace basis. But Christ enunciated
a higher law, a spiritual law, more
potent than the law of physical force
and human enmity, a law depending
upon the spiritual weapons of forgive
ness and goodwill even toward our
enemies. 1t was the most daring and
revolutionary experiment Of the Chris
tian scheme. Moreover. II worked;
and it is the only law that really sue
ceeds in the end. John G. Patton tried
it in the South Seas when he went
single-handed and unarmed among
the wild tribes, catching their spears
in his unprotected hands. He lived
to see the chief of the wild tribes in
Christs school. Every time a Chris
tian has returned good for evil, re-
framing from taking all his rights
he has gone the second mile" with
his enemy. and this highest law of
spiritual conquest has been vindicated.

quite natural that he should do so.

it were. that minute he began TO lose

4 SHIPPING CENTER

~ y another page to-day the Tele-
graph makes the welcome an
~ nouncement that the Harrisburg
freight transfer of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company is TO be
greatly enlarged.
The development will give work to
at least $50 more men, and that is
good news. But better. even, than
that is the recognition accorded Har-
risburg as shipping center. The
larger the transfer sheds at this point
and the more cars they are capable
of handling a day, the more ware
houses and branches of big manufac-
turing interests will there be at this
point, and the bigger and more pros
porous will the city become.
The Chamber of Commerce hit upon
happy thought when it selected as
its slogan Harrisburg the Heart of
Distribution" We may be important
in a manufacturing way. and the rapid
growth of the Harrisburg Pipe Bend
ing Works and the great enlargements
now being made at Steelton are proofs
Of that. but il is as a distributing
center that we can develop most rap
idly and logically.
That the PENNSYLVANIA Railroad has
ccncurred in our own judgment in this
respect indicates that we have not
been led away by false hopes and a
mistaken loyalty TO our own city. The
PENNSYLVANIA Railroad Company is not
governed by sentiment in the determi-
nation of such important matters as
the locationezoEzs the slsEgest. transfer
yards on its system. Harrisburg may
rest assured that they have been es-
tablished here because this is the
logical place for them. and are about
