Judges who readily admit that a

PROSPERITY DEPENDENT ON RELIGION

AT the meeting of the Associated Advertising
Clubs of the World held awhile ago in Milwaukee,
Mr. Roger W. Babson delivered address on
WHY | Go to Church" in which he had this to
say: The prosperity of our people depends on the
motives and purposes of the people These mo-
tives and purposes are directed only in the right
course through religion In spite of their imper-
fections. this is why believe in Church, and
why am great optmist on their future We stand
at the cross roads. We must choose between God
and Nlammon. Materialism is undermining our
civilization as il has undermined other civilizations
Unless we heed the warning in time and get back
to the real fundamentals, must fall even as the
civilization Of Egypt, Greece and Rome tell--and
for the same reason. Statistics of every Nation IN
dictate that true religion is the power for the de
velopment Of its resources, and Tor its successful
continuation. The challenge goes out to every
man to support his Church, to take an active part
in the religious life Of his community, to live ac-
cording to the simple principles upon which tins,
the greatest country in the world, was founded
three hundred years ago.
This is a truth that Jesus uttered with special
emphasis in the Sermon the Mount Among
other things in that great sermon he considered the
question of bread and clothing, their place in hui
man life and Gods concern about them-busi-
ness therefore, is a necessary feature OF human
life and God provides for it in His plans and his
system of economies in that brief command: Seek
We first the kingdom of God and his righteousness
and all these things all material resources
will be added unto you.
The world is so made that industry, economy
and mutual confidence upon the part OF all the
members of society inevitably produce state OF
prosperity Now the first great function OF religion
is to create these homey virtues and thus pro-
duce the type of character in each individual that in
spires confidence and draws men together IN mu-
tual helpfulness Without the ideasm the graci-
GUS assistance and the divine authority of religion,
these elements of character and this state OF socie-
ty can not be produced. Religion therefore has
peculiar economic value and MIR. Babson says
il is the only by which sane safe, permanent
social order may be built up
The trend toward materiaism in our business
life is alarmngly strong and Mr. Babson says
II is high time we emphasizing the real fun
damentals We have emphasized religion to the
dying man as his only hope for the beyond and to
the sorrowing man as the only means OF comfort.
and to the guilty the only chance OF pardon
and freedom We need to preach 1t that
men will also awaken to the fact that 1t is to be the
dominant force in our business life il we are to
continue as a Nation and a really prosperous
and happy people-Texas Christian Advocate.
