THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE
The Declaration of Independence! The interest which
in that paper has survived the occasion upon which it jwas
issued, the interest which is of every age and every clime,
the interest which quickens with the lapse of years, spreads
as it grows old, and brightens asjt recedes, is in the prin
ciples which it DroclairasC It was the first solemn declaration
by a nation of the only legitimate foundation of civil gov
ernment. It Jwas the corner-stone of a new fabric, destined
to cover the surface of the globe. It demolished at a stfake
the lawfulness of all ffovernmenta founded upon conquest. It
swept away all the rubbish of accumulated centuries of servi
tude. It announced in practical form to the world the tran
scendent truth of the inalienable sovereignty of the pedple.
It proved that the social compact was no figment of the
imagination, but a real, solid, and. sacred bond of the social
union. John Quincy Adams. ? -
CREED FOR AMERICANS
I believe in the United States of America as a govern
ment of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just
powers are derived from the consent of the governed ; a de
mocracy in a republic; a sovereign nation 01 many sovereign
states ; a perfect union, one and inseparable ; established upon
those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity
for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and for
tunes. "..' ' -Lv'" -V;'-V " '
therefore believe it is my duty to my country toilove
Tfcfto support its constitution, to obey its laws, to respect its
flag and to defend It against all enemies.
cess Is through the devotion of their energies exclusively to
the regeneration of the world rather than the enactment or
revolutionary laws and the change of constitutions and forms
of government. It would certainly be most foolish to ignore
the present elfish state of humanitvnd attempt to force
upon mankind as it is today a state ofsociety which cannot
possibly work unless the individuals composing, it are ani
mated by unselfish considerations. Every attempt at social
ism lias ended in the selfish and the indolent striving to en
joy the products of the labor of the unselfish and industrious
without themselves giving any return. As the selfish and
indolent greatly outnumber the unselfish and those who will
work for the common good alone, such attempts must always
end jin failure,, just as they always have. Until human na
ture! is radically changed socialism and all its brood of isms
arc 1 it idle dreams, wholly visionary, impractical and chimerical.
IThe real progress of the race for the immediate future
lies fin furnishing encouragement and opportunity for the
fullest individual activity and initiative, and making the re
wards of this activity and initiative as certain as possible for
every individual; in developing a real sense of justice among
all classes, and in stimulating in all the conviction that the
promotion of the common good and the welfare of others is
the highest expression of self-interest.
ji- .
jWce Jesus upon earth today it is certain that He would
still ibe striiing to regenerate men, to turn them from their
worlhip of mammon, their gratification of the appetites and
passions and to substitute for their selfishness real love and
service, of God and men. Is it conceivable that with His di
vine; wisdom giving Him knowledge of the condition of hu
manity He would undertake to force upon them a social state
not at all adapted to their present condition ?
Churches of all denominations would do well to try to
"walk in His steps" in this regard and not attempt to add to
theii legitimate activities the function of the legislator and
that of the, student and instructor in economics and business.
If they can worlc a real revolution in the individual lives and
character of the people there will be no need not even an
excise for them to feed the fires of social or political revo
lution by lending encouragement to the Socialists, Bolsheviki
and other disciples of anarchy and unrest in their childish
attempts to bring the millennium.

THE CHURCH AND SOCIAL REVOLUTION
. ' ., (CoDvriffhted bv the San Jose Mercury)
Dr. Fosdick, pastor of -the First Presbyterian church of
New York City, has started a nation-wide discussion of! this
subject by issuing a startling warning to those business in
terests which refuse to contribute to church organizations
because of their "social creeps." His warning amounts! to a
threat that unless these business interests contribute , to
those church organizations which are advocating various' rad
ical remedies for the present social unrest, the business in
terests of the country will not only be obliged to face -com-.
plete social revolution by peaceful means, but that a tragedy
similar to that enacted in Russia is almost certain to be
staged here. ':", . V .'. - -.v
"... There may be some question about the morality of tiyv
irig to force support for religious organizations by threats ot
this kind, but aside from that, there is treat danger to the
influence and power of the churches from such an attitude.
Certainly many people will doubt the wisdom of the church
engaging in discussions of purely secular questions when
their pastors and leaders have not the practical experience
and equipment to wisely handle such matters. Their Mew
point must of necessity be largely if not entirely theoretical.
Bishop Manning of New York, discussing this subject; very
wisely remarks: 'The church is noncommissioned nir en
dowed with special wisdom to pronounceipon specific Politi
cal and economic programs.? 1 1 :
Bishop Manning probably may fairly be said to represent
the conservative element in all the churches And if the ex
pressions in many leading journals are representative of the
ideas of the general public, the lay sentiment of the country
quite generally agrees with Bishop Manning, Th Detroit
Free Press, for example, says upon. this subject: "It ii true
of churches as of men that they may try to do too jmany
things. They mayweaken4heir power for good by spread
ing it out too thin, and they may discredit their intelligence
in those things they really, understand by trying to act in
matters that they do not understand." And most people will
heartily agree with the blunt statement in regard to this
matter by the Boston News Bureau: 'The pulpit is noj place
for partisan politics or for class economics. Both congre
gation and the public are weary and resentful of such at
tempts' " - j
V For some time there has been quite a religious element
in this country, not only among the laity but among ; the
clergy, who are fond of talking about "Christian socialism.
Just what they mean by this they 'have not made entirely
Dlain. for certainly neither Jesus nor His disciples ever taught
anything at all in harmony with modern socialism, lit is
. true that in the 5th chapter of Acts it is recorded that the
early apostles "had everything in common.". This was a
voluntary matter on the part of a few who. were giving their
lives to the spread of the gospel. V It was the voluntary' act
of men and women who had overcome themselves, including
human selfishness, and who were seeking not their own, but
the welfare of others of the world. They thus became one
spiritual family, as it were, each mindful of the welfare of
all its members equally with their own, and all animated by
one unselfish motive, viz.: The promulgation of the jgospel
of the spiritual life of Christ. However well adapted to
such a social state, until jthe millenium dawns it would hard
ly be practical generally in the world, among men arid wo
men whose sole thought and motive are the gratification of
their own desires and ambitions.
When the world is universally regenerated like the com-
ny of the apostles, no civil laws or constitutions or forms
of government will at all matter, for every man will N a
law untdhimself and will obey the commands of th4 Holy
owm ot uoa Even the advocates of "Christian socialism '

THE FAILL'RK'S EPITArH.
"Time la money,'; said Benja

tistician has been dabbling with
out temporal wealth to find out

" HIs facts and figures' show that
the "average" man of SO has slept

hands go around, there can be
no question but they would show
that both sleep and pleasure are
ruthlessly sacrificed in favor of
work, in order to accomplish
worth-while ambitions, attain po
sition and pelf, and generally to
do big things in a big way.
Most of us are always com
plaining that our days are few,
and acting as though there were
no end of them.
The "average" man does not
know the value of time the "be-
yond-the-average" man does.
And the latter thinks, plana
and works; while the former is
getting ready to commence to be
gin, and idleness and the chase
after amusement cause the mo
ments to slip past out of his reach
forever,-out into the great ocean
of yesterday. -

may ask anything of me but

trians was because he appreciated,

"Time is money," Benjamin
Franklin said; he was only partly
right.
Time is not money unless you
turn it Into money.
Most men are poor because they
are time-poor they squander the
seconds of which success is tho

mowing or unheeding that in it

Time is something practically
none of us can afford to was'.e

Every moment is a precious

life's most meaningful words are
these: , "Now is the accepted

If the true epitaph of most
failures were written it would
probably read:
"Here lies a might-have-been

throttled his chances to' succeed."

of the competition and by a great effort on their part.
