"Right Works, Wrong Doesn't"

"The essence of that state of mind riust
surely lie In the great idea on which the
Bible has always thrown the tremendous
weight of its emphasis and which is summed
up in the simple word Righteousness. Right
eousness Is neither more nor less than the
right way of thinking and saying and
doing. 1t is more than ethical, in that it is
intensely practical AK Adare hits on a
mighty psychological fact when she says:
Right works, wrong doesn't
Now, mankind has always gone on the
contrary assumption Right didn't work
and wrong did. 1t has been a kind of adage
in the commercial world that thing might
be right and not good business, with the
contrary. that 1t might be good business
and yet wrong. There never was and never
could be more destructive fallacy. Wrong,
whatever the shade of wrong we may be
thinking of, is never business. 1t is posi-
lively certain. whatever the immediate
promise of success, to bring with 1t ultimate
failure.
Nowhere In human history is this better
illustrated than in human government There
are no words in which to describe ade-
quately the greed, lust and general corrup-
ton of all the governments that have ruled
the earth, Some have been better than
others and still are. but there is none which
has not made its motto. Wrong works and
right doesn't
"An this national and individual wrong
has now fused to the explosive point and
to the stage which brings about its own
self-destruction. What my hero and heroine
mean Is that. when 1t Is all over. there will
come by degrees the glorious new epoch,
| which might be compared to the splendid
sunlit weather we often have after storm.
81 feel very sure that 1t is the American
peoples slow but instructive anticipation of
| this that has reused the nation to male its
| preparations on so sober and gigantic a
scale.
Gradually a wonderful vision is rising
before our eyes, and the American people
| are bracing themselves to fight for it. II Is
| a vision that emerges slowly and nobly out
| Of the vastSconfusion of obscure issues and
| cross and counter purposes-now so much
| In the foreground throughout the world
| the vision of the Son of God. 1t seems to
me very strongly that our people are grid
| Ing themselves. consciously or unconsciously
| or subconsciously, to fight for that This,
| I suppose. will be what the Bible means
| by the new heaven and the new earth
| wherein dweleth righteousness
'It is not the reward beyond DEATH" Mr.
King concluded hopefully. TT Is a new
| heaven on earth, a new earth in heaven
| It is In sight now, but 1t will come pnly
| when old things have passed away, as they
are swiftly passing. >and all things snail
| have become new"
