Pattioon Kline
With telling force, Mr.. Kline drove
home his facts, which in summing UP
might be stated as follows: That only
by following the lowly Nazarene, do
ing unto others as we would have
others do unto US, would this country
other settle its labor problems, ever
maintain law and order. or reach the
heights OF national achievement.
Not in such simple statement was
sis he showed that 1t Is only through
service. only by holding fast to our
ideals, only by giving to each and
everyone, so far is in our power, in
dividually and nationally. q square
deal can hope to achieve greatness.
He called attention to Germany's ag-
grandizement, and Germanys fall.
And now" said he, "the devil is TAX
ing America up into high mountain,
and is showing to her the kingdom Of
the world, and America Is Wanting her
own glory
He pointed out that no nation can
isolate itself and have it's national life
unto itself, and ne showed her in his
solubly, inextricably, the very life of
America is intertwined with that OF
other nations of the world.
Referring to the oft repeated fallacy
that the United States has nothing to
do, and never has had anything to do,
with international complications, he
called attention to the fact that from
tho time Commodore Perry opened the
doors Of Japan to the world with a
gunboat, the United States has in
terfered in international affairs when
ever it seemed good and right.
In speaking of the problems Of la
Dor and capital he called attention to
the fact that when forty years ago the
first cooperative business was started
failure was Immediately predicted, but
through all the years that and other
businesses so conducted had grown,
and in every instance where labor shar-
ed with capital its fair proportion,
strikes were unknown.
Putting the Golden Rule into bust
ness, pays" said Mr.. Kline. And it
always has and always will pay"
In connection with the enforcement
of law and order, Mr.. Kline urged his
audience the great necessity of obeying
the law in all It's relations to society
hut most particularly he spoke OF the
license which takes the law out of the
hands of the courts, and seeks to ad-
minister justice through violence.
He also urged the observance of
those laws which surround the en-
forcement of the Volstead act. quoting
the American Bar Association which
recently passed resolutions, calling up
on the leisure class to obey the law in
this respect, warning them If they did
not the results might yet be anarchy in
this country.
Defining .Americanism, Mr.. Kline
said that the best definition he knew
was found in the phrase in the con-
tinuation that az men are entitled to
life, liberty and the pursuits Of hap
piness.''
TIE declared that he believed that
this was literally true not only for !
ourselves,-but for others. That each ,
man was to seek not only his own hap
piness but that of his brother.
Pointing out the great advantages of !
location, wealth, tradition, he showed
that this nation today with all its ma t
terial wealth is only great where it |
serves, and that unless 1t serves, I'M !
less it reaches out Its hands to its /
suffering brothers across the ocean, its
greatness must inevitable wane.
Mr.. Kline was one Of the hest speak
ers who has addressed the Chautauqua |
since its opening and that Is saying /
much, for every lecturer on the pro- /
gram. gave a talk inspirational and i
worth yAhile.
