The very thing that Stanley was
complaining about revealed the life
and progress of the church. When
business or science or religion stands
still, they are soon dead as door

does make progress, that 1t does
throw Off its old methods and its
archaic dogmas and get new light
and new vision.
Stanley is a very much up-to-date
business man whose standing in the
community and among his business
associates Is not questioned. Does
he do business as he did forty years
ago when he started in? He does not.
If you want to know where to find him
Just push to the front ranks and you'll
discover him there. Strange that he
shouldn't expect the church to make
the same progress, or use the same
methods.
