Respect for the home? Jesus found womenslaves; He made them.companions, Down through the ages His Church has been the champion of women's rights and aspirations. Respect for the man who works? It was the Carpenter of Nazareth who gave labor its great charter. “You are sons of God,” He said. In that sentence Democracy was born. Respect for property? Modern business is credit; and credit is character, All that makes property safe in the world is bound up in the reverence for law that religion breeds, Respect for education? Who gave America her colleges? They were founded by Chris- tian ministers, almost all of them. Or these great essentials must we build a better America, and a better world. And every one of them rests on the foundations of the Christian Church. Thirty denominations of that Church are uniting now ina ‘simultaneous campaign. They are uniting because the task befare the Church is too great for any one denomination; because there must be no duplication of effort; no waste. the Church's part in the huge task of Americanization, (3) the colleges and (4) hospitals supported by the Churches, (5) the religious training of the young, and to provide (6) a living wage for the Church's ministers. The appeal is to every lover of America, to you whether you are inside the Church or out. The re- building of the world is a spiritual task. Faith must be the cornerstone on which the new foundations are laid true; the measuring rod by which the builders build must be the Golden Rule.
