 We quitee agree with Theodore
 Roosevelt when he said The remedies for our industrial ills are partly econ
 omic and partly spiritual, partly to be obtained by laws, but in greater part
 to be obtained by individual and asso- ciated effort, for character Is the vital matter and character cannot be ere ated by law. These remedies include a religious and moral teaching which shall increase the spirit of human brotherhood, all educational system which shall train men for every form of useful service, and government so strong, wise, just and democratic that neither tagging too far behind nor pushing heedlessly ill advance, 1t may do its full share i'll promoting these ends'
 The dominant spirit of fraterna1 in dustrialism is love, the strongest mo- tive known to mankind. Love Is the controlling power Of life. Only really love, said Augustine, then you can do as you will Love is not one motive among others; it is the 1-embracing motive of life. All other command ments are comprehended i'll this say ing, namely, Thou shalt love thy God and thy neighbor as thyself.' When love rules, brotherhood will prevail; and where brotherhood prevails, fra ternal industrialism dominates. Love nexer exploits. Love meyer underpays. Love never overrides human hearts. fraternal industrialism cannot be un- dertaken in anger or in hatred. It calls for love and faith on the part Of all parties in industry.
 History and experience prove be- yond a doubt that the fraterna1 spirit is the only adequate pledge of indus trial peace and prosperity. Carlyle was everlastingly right when he said: Cash payments never were or never could be, except for few years, the union bond of man to man. A man has other obligations laid on him i'll Gods uni verse than the payment of cash The human rather than the material must be the final arbiter when the indus trial system comes up for judgment. The test question on that day will not be How much money did you maker but What kind of men did you make?' It will not be How large dividends did you declare?' but What kind of homes did you build?' What kind of com did you create?' These will be the test questions when industry stands before the Judge of all hearts.
 John D. Rockefeller, IT,, made the following statement recently. The soundest industrial policy IS that which has constantly in mind the welfare of employees as we'll as the making of pro- fits. When human considerations de mand 1t this policy subordinates profits to welfare. Industrial relations are essentially human relations. The day has passed when the conception Ot 11- dustry as chiefly a revenue-produclng process can be maintained Men in are becoming conscious that the economic yardstick Is too crude a measure to determine the worth Of those things in the world that make life worth living.
 "Fraterna1 industrialism will speed i1y evaporate unless 1t Is sustained by a worthy ideal and vital principle. A | vague theory of human brotherhood | will not do. An artificial conception l of fraternity will not do. Men every where are crying out for a brother hood that is real and fraternity that ! is vital. Only on such a brotherhood 1 and such a fraternity can fraternal in 1ustrialism be maintained. Scripture, history and experience unite i'll teach ng that the only brotherhood that IS -ea1 and the only fraternity that IS 7ita1 are the brotherhood and the ira ernity that is founded on the Father i hood of God Men are not made broth CTS by working at the same bench or eating at the same table or wearing he same kind of clothes or holding membership in the same union, but by acknowledging and loving the same Heavenly Father. The fraternal spirit hat converges and unites in Christ +o h11T11 n
