| The Christian Endeavor topic of
the week Is discussed by Rev. George
ID. Allison, Phi. D.. pastor Of Second
Baptist Church. The topic Is, How
Can We Apply the Golden Rule To-
day." DR. Allison says:
Matt. 7:12, "All things therefore
whatsoever ye would that men should
do unto you, even so do ye also unto
them"
Everyone can apply the Golden
Rule, today. first of all by speaking
generously about others--whether in
the ranks of capital or labor, I'm needy
Europe or more fortunate America,
whether Catholic or Protestant, and
wherever God has east His lot. The
sin of loose speaking. Of incorporate
| judgment, of shortsighted, selfish
points of view has aggravated every
problem before the world today.
internationally the practice of the
Golden Rule would remove the menace
in the Pacific. Arrangements would
readily be made doing away with the
racial determinations that inflame the
sensitive japanese national spirit The
/ Golden Rule in trade would keep the
open door really open in China and
give that new republic a chance to
work out its destinies without the
slashlng intrigues Of greedy foreign
Christian nations The Golden
/ Rule, as well as common sense would
receive commerce with stricken
Europe by devising credits and ex-
tending generous national terms,
never despairing." The Golden Rule

Golden Rule conduct by executive

would solve the railroad problem and
the coal mining problem and the rest.

suppose the various churches and
denominations practiced this simple
teaching OF our common I4ord and
Master. No jarring sectarianisms.
no wasteful overlapping and unseem-
~ competition, no neglected fields. no
underpaid ministers starved of boaks
and ideas, no priestly pretensions and
hateful antagonisms. Instead there
would be true Christian unity not in
spirit only, but in actual activity. and
organization. What an impression a
united Golden Rule Christendom
would make on the world.
