The Federation Age

By Editor

“Men seem to feel, somehow, that the responsibility for corporate transactions is so widely distributed that no one individual carries any definite burden except in the matter of sharing the spoils.”

“What the world needs to-day is not more unions, but more unity; not more brotherhoods, but more brotherhood.”

“Every effort in the way of multiplying federations and unions, without divine uplifting power applied to the heart of each individual, only makes matters worse.”

“The prophet Isaiah long ago struck the key-note of the situation thus: . . . Isa. 8:12, 13.

“The prophet Habakkuk outlines the only possible outcome of Godless federation. He first addresses the money power thus: ‘Who enlargeth his desire . . .

“Of the labor power he adds: ‘Shall not all these take up a parable against him?’ . . . Hab. 2:5-7.”

“Yes, the coming of the Lord draweth nigh. . . . 2 Thess. 1:7, 8.

“To all those whose lives are in complete union with Christ He will come as a deliverer when all the combinations of wealth and power are staggering on to destruction in the last great strenuous struggle.”
