Business Despotism and the Need of God’s Power
It is stated that as a result of his recent maneuvers in the steel business, J. Pierpont Morgan has brought under his control about one-third of the working capital of the nation. Such money power as that means business despotism. And business despotism carries with it every other form of despotism. All forms of tyranny are wrapped up in the same package. And the individual can not be a very close observer who does not see that in many different ways this country is being dragged from her democratic principles, and business despotism, and ecclesiastical despotism, and civil despotism, are before her. The time is not very far off when these things will be strongly exercised, and no one will be able to stand before them unless he is possessed of power from on high. We need the wisdom of God to guide us and the power of God to keep us in these times.
