Economic Organization Must Allow for the
Development of Higher Life
Our economic life ought to be so organized, and in time will be so
organized, that every man, whatever his task er calling, will have time
for the development o f his higher life. No human being ought to be
debarred from such opportunity. Every man and woman in every line of
work should have time for this.
When we become wise enough to see this, labor will take on its true
dignity and our labor men will do finer work and more work than ever
before. I am glad, therefore that William Green, the present wise and
able president of the American Federation of Labor, is emphasizing this
as a matter to be kept in view and brought about in due time.
Wholesome recreation and amateur sport may have its proper place
on Sunday, provided it does not take the place of prayer and worship.
Our sports and recreations are in their own proper place as truly accept
able and pleasing to God as our prayers and our worship, but it is not
right for us to give to recreation the hours that belong to worship. The
instinct for play is as divinely implanted in human nature as the instinct
for work nnd the instinct for worship. The church must not merely
tolerate clean sports and recreation but give them its glad and open
blessing.
Spirit of Militarism Has No Place in Hearts
of American People
By DWIGHT F. DAVIS, Secretary o f War.
The Soldiers’ memorial at Kansas City, Mo., recently dedicated by
President Coolidge, is a visible memorial of the glorious deeds of the
American soldier-citizens and citizen-soldiers, of our admiration for their
achievements, of our respect for their ideals and of our pledge that we
will fulfill the heritage of their trust. They fought and died, not for wealth
or power or increase of lands— not even for self-defense, but rather that
their ideals o f civilization might live. Their lives were short, but their
ideals are eternal. Their comrades in arms share their love of peace. Those
who have suffered the indescribable horrors of war are foremost in the
desire for peace, so long as peace can be honorably maintained.
Our President ha* earnestly urged the limitation of competitive arma
ments by agreements among the nations and this nation stands ready to
join in any practical measure to bring about this end. There is no danger
of militarism in America. Our army today is, proportionately, as small
as it has ever been. Always it has been a constructive force.
