OUR NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Anniversaries in the lives of
individuals and nations f o r m
milestones in the journey of life.
As the years go by and they be
come numerous we can look back
and review the ground which has
been traveled. Such reviews of
life are valuable both for the in
dividual and the nation. The
author o f a recent book which
enjoys a brisk demand among
college students, scouts the value
o f the findings o f human experi
ence. He would have each start
almost at the cultural point of
the untutored savage and blaze
hie owh way. But history has a
profound value, which it is the
height o f foolishness to ignore.
W hether of secular or religious
history, it is true that “ whatso
ever things were written afore
time were written for our learn
ing.”
The reliable historian
earns
gratitude
by reliablv
recording past events for the
use of future generations, and
the student o f history should
discover and unfold.the philoso
phy which underlies the events
of history.
When the history of the vari
ous nations which have popu
lated the earth is studied and
reviewed, a remarkable sameness
is disclosed.
It is not mere
chance which caused one to rise
from small beginnings and an
other to fall from heights which
it had attained. The serious stu
dent o f history will conclude
that a law governs the case.
As a great Christian poet puts
it:

“ One (5od, one law, one element
Ami one far off divine event
To which the whole creation moves.*’
All nations are under this one
God, forming part o f the one
element and governed by the
one law. 1 heir individual rise
and progress are dependent on
the manner in which they fall
into line towards the consuma
tion o f this tar off divine event.
As a rule they failed to sense
this though there were never
wanting those who more or less
clearly perceived the truth, and
lifted up warning voices. The
history o f Israel is typical o f all.
The prophets warned but their
messages fell on unheeding ears.
This week we celebrate our
own nation’s birthday. There
will lie much shouting and jubi
lation. and much boasting o f the
high place we hold among na- ■
tions o f the world. This is all
perfectly natural and perhaps
we are entitled so to da Rut
the question arises which is
fraught with serious portent: "Is
not this rejoicing and national
self complacency and congratu
lation purely materialistic?” Our
rejoicing is mainly over tl e fact
that we are richer and not that
we are more righteous than other
nations.
This is a question which it is
most important for us to face,
because on it depends our con
tinued rise or the beginning o f
a decline. Many a man. many
a family has been ruined by too
much material prosperity, in-

now in service and making a j
trans-continental trip from New
York to Chicago over the Lincoln
highway, the man who enjoys
figuring can have a world of
practice.
The other day one gifted gen
tleman worked out the tire prob
lem. He figured that the 40
million tires used on the 10 mil
lion Fords, if stacked up would
make a rubber column 2,000
miles high.i
Then, looking for road trouble,
he punctured each o f the tires,
and ¿then figured that one man
working eight hours a day ex
cept Sundays and holidays and
repairing a tire every five min
utes would finally finish the job
in 400 years.
