THIS WORLD NEEDS TO Be PERMEATED
WITH RIGHTEOUSNESS, SAYS SPEAKER

DR.. Francis Burgette Short, edu-
cational director of the ]. c. Penney
company, spoke at the Methodist
Episcopal church last night, using
as the subject Of his address, The
Practical Relation of Religion to
Business" During the course of his
remarks he said:
Every thoughtful man recognizes
there Is something the matter with
the world in which we live. There
IS a normal readjustment that should
take place. The fact OF this needed
adjustment is seen in almost every
direction in which one looks. There
Is scarcely a fundamental OF life
that is not being attacked and
threatened
Assault is being made upon the
home and Preside; the social struc-
ture is being defeated by those who
do not believe they should be gov
erned by those laws and customs
that make for the largest good and
happiness to the greatert number.
Our patriotism Is being put to shame
high brow citizens who refuse to
makes our nation in possibility what
IT should become. Our religion is
threatened by those who live to suit
themselves and believe according to
their own selfish conception of life.
Our business and economic struc-
lures are none the less supported
because of the disagreements that
are constantly arising between the
employer and the employees. Surely
something should be done, ought to
be done and will be done to rectify
all these conditions that promise in
stability and defeat to the greatest
ideals of life.
What one factor more than any
thing else can bring this to pass?
maintain that 1t is the factor Of
righteousness that must operate
among all these various and varied
departments Of life.

tionalism. Thus far denomination
