This is Professor Rine’s third article on the industrial situation. Previous articles have told of the influence that modern means of travel and communication have had on the industrial world, of the enormous concentration of wealth in the hands of a few men, and some of the alarming problems that have sprung up in consequence. Each of these articles is complete in itself, in that it presents some distinct phase of the question. In the near future the professor will have an article viewing the subject from the prophetic standpoint.

EDITOR.

PRESENT-DAY industry is dominated by a relatively small coterie of men—the master spirits of finance. Industry is therefore in form and spirit essentially aristocratic, almost autocratic. In sharp antithesis to this economic feudalism stand our democratic political and educational institutions. This maladjustment is as ominous as it is obvious.

As long ago as 1888 a writer in the ninth edition of the Encyclopædia Britannica said, “The great American republic seems to be entering upon a new era, in which it must meet and solve a new problem—the reconciliation of democracy with the modern conditions of production.” But, as Dr. Strong reminds us, what seemed to be a peculiarly American problem a quarter of a century ago is in rapid process of becoming a world problem. The most characteristic and most nearly universal movement of recent times is the political and intellectual rise of the common people. The industrial revolution has become coextensive with the civilized world, intensifying the democratic movement by accentuating the spirit of popular discontent; and at the same time, under the influence of competition, massing capital and centralizing control, thus causing the organization of industry to grow increasingly autocratic—an abnormal condition, and as unstable and portentous as it is abnormal. In the language of Dr. Strong:

“The new industrial civilization stimulates the democratic spirit. Asia has been agricultural and despotic; it is to become industrial, like Europe and America, with a consequent impetus to the democratic movement.”

In illustration of this point, the same writer refers to the fact that on the eastern bank of the Nile at Karnak are stupendous ruins of ancient temples. The traveler is struck by the spectacle of massive pillars only lately fallen. He is informed, by the guide, that a recent overflow of the river, rising to an unwonted height, has reached and undermined their ancient foundations; and columns which had resisted the vicissitudes of time for thirty centuries, toppled to destruction. In like manner, a mighty tide of democracy is rising the world over, undermining ancient pillars of despotism; and democratic institutions in both church and state are being built on the ruins of autocracy.

Conversely, in modern industry increasing organization means increasing combination, with ever-increasing centralization of capital and of domination. A striking example of this latter movement is afforded by the recent combination of railways into ever greater systems, culminating in the Harriman railway empire. During the last several years of his life, Mr. Harriman virtually dominated about 75,000 miles of railroad, enough to cross the continent twenty-five times. In McClure’s Magazine for October, 1909, Burton J. Hendrick stated that Mr. Harriman exercised a taxing power almost as great as that possessed by any parliament—a glaring instance of taxation without representation.

Apropos of the maladjustment of our industrial system to our political system, Dr. Washington Gladden says:

“Our industries are still on an autocratic or feudal basis. We have been trying to correlate a political democracy with an industrial feudalism. They do not work well together. I do not think that they will endure together. They are antagonistic principles. . . . The working men will lose their political liberty or they will gain their industrial liberty.”

Several generations ago the difference in their possessions was but one of many differences between the rich and the poor. The former class enjoyed a monopoly of political power and of education as well as of property. “The ignorant poor, therefore, no more envied the rich their riches than they envied the birds their wings, or kings their scepters.” They felt that the monopoly of wealth by the few was the natural order of things, perhaps an expression of the divine will.

“Now,” says Dr. Strong, “all this is changed by the spirit of democracy, which spirit is asserting itself not only in western Europe but in the very seats of historic absolutism—Russia, Turkey, China, and Persia.”

Not only have the masses of the people the benefit of our public

school instruction, but multitudes are gaining a higher or liberal education. Approximately 400,000 students are receiving training in the colleges, universities, and professional schools of the United States, according to the latest census. Every few years these are replaced by augmented numbers.

The majority of these liberally educated men and women do not belong to the wealthy class. Having studied political economy and kindred subjects, they know much respecting the sources, the meaning, and the responsibility of wealth. By reason of their training they are capable not only of a profound discontent, but of an enlightened discontent. Again quoting Dr. Strong:

“Evidently the ancient monopoly of knowledge by the few and the rich has been destroyed, and its indestructible power has passed forever to the people. . . . Until modern times, political power, the power of wealth, and the power of knowledge have all belonged to one small class; and this threefold cord enabled the few to bind the many in an almost unbroken servitude. Such concentration of power created a condition of stable equilibrium. To-day the power of wealth is in the hands of the few, while political power and that which comes from education are both popularized. . . . There can not possibly be an increasing concentration of staggering wealth, increasing popular wants, increasing popular discontent, and increasing popular consciousness of power, without reaching a crisis.”

The evolution and diffusion of political democracy, the equality of all men before the law, the universality of educational facilities,—all these have begotten in the popular mind the unshakable conviction that our industrial oligarchy has become an unutterable anachronism. Political and educational equality breeds an irrepressible aspiration for economic equality.

An eminent publicist recently said:

“Add to man’s knowledge and you enlarge the world in which he lives; he sees a wider horizon; his future contains greater possibilities; he becomes conscious of new wants and higher aspirations, which, if they can not be satisfied, naturally breed discontent. . . . Popular intelligence makes the multiplication of popular wants inevitable; and the multiplication of popular wants, if more rapid than the improvement of the popular condition, necessarily produces popular discontent. . . . The masses will never be satisfied until their wants are supplied with the fulness of modern civilization.”

In other words, since the people are free politically and intellectually, they are determined to make themselves free economically. In the very nature of things, political freemen can not long remain industrial serfs. It is this glaring maladjustment that constitutes one of the most potent causes of the tense, world-wide social discontent. It is destined to be a prime cause in bringing about the universal social irruption, commonly referred to as the inevitable class war. That such a war is impending is attested not only by the leaders and makers of current history but also by the divinely inspired prophets of old. This ominous but inevitable issue will be discussed in a subsequent article.

We have seen that the modern revolution in industry accelerated the creation of wealth approximately a hundredfold, and that it is swiftly spreading over the world. No argument is needed to show that this enormous tide of wealth pouring into the lap of civilization is tremendously increasing the peril of luxury. It is a peril that always follows, like a blighting shadow, the influx of riches. Was it not the vast and sudden inflow of the precious metals from Peru and Mexico that stimulated the voluptuousness and decay that undermined the otherwise invincible strength and prowess of Spain, in the sixteenth century?

SMALL SECTION OF STRIKERS' MASS-MEETING IN ENGLAND (FROM LONDON "GRAPHIC")

“YE HAVE LIVED IN PLEASURE”

“Luxury renders effeminate, then sensuous, then sensual, and national sensuality means national decay.” Who ever heard of men being pampered into greatness? Herodotus said, “It is a law of nature that faint-hearted men should be the fruit of luxurious countries, for we never find that the same soil produces delicacies and heroes.”

The most serious and dangerous effect, however, of prodigal expenditure in self-indulgence on the part of the rich, is its unfailing tendency to excite envy and discontent in the breast of the masses. Think how men whose pockets are chronically empty must feel when they read of a dinner costing $250 a plate, of paying $1,000 for a hat pin, $10,000 for a child’s cradle, $20,000 for a man’s hat, $50,000 for a piano, $38,000 for a wash-stand, $65,000 for a dressing-table, $75,000 for opera-glasses, $280,000 for a string of pearls, $50,000 for a French poodle (with a private nurse, a private maid, and a private footman), and $600,000 for a diamond necklace!

What do the poor think when they read that a London woman of fashion spends more on her pet dog annually than a mechanic earns in the same period on which to support a family; when they read of a pink Persian kitten’s wearing a gold crown on its head and a gold order around its neck, and that its owner boasts of being the first to give a cat a pair of fine diamond earrings, because “bangles and necklaces had become so very hackneyed”? Does it lessen the discontent of the poor to read of a dog that has a complete gold service on which his daintily prepared meals are served to him, and that this dog usually rises at eight A.M., is combed and dressed, given some cream, and breakfasts at ten?

A year or two ago the papers minutely described the $7,000,000 mansion which had just been built, in New York, for a former United States senator. The edifice contained 121 rooms for one small family; it was fitted with a $300,000 pipe-organ, embellished with $2,000,000 worth of paintings, and beautified with $500,000 worth of Persian rugs.

At an elaborate banquet given in New York, each cigarette was rolled, not in white paper, but in a one hundred dollar bill. When the guests discovered this romantic method of destroying money, they greeted it with tumultuous applause.

At another sumptuous dinner given in honor of a dog, the host, in the midst of the dinner, formally decorated the dog with a diamond collar that had cost $15,000. Does it encourage indigent masses to feel satisfied with their lot when they read the much quoted remark of a young multimillionaire of New York, namely, “A man with $100,000 a year is in the unhappy position where he can see what a good time he could have if only he had the money?” The young nabob added that “easy circumstances” meant “a thousand dollars a day—and expenses.”

It is this wicked prodigality of selfish expenditure, this beastly wallowing in the luxury that unstinted wealth can command, which, as much as anything else, is intensifying popular unrest, and steeling the determination already cherished by millions of workers to overthrow the existing social and industrial system and build upon its ruins a radically democratic and collectivistic industrial regime. There are 30,000,000 Socialists in Christendom, besides several million Syndicalists, all of whose faces are set like flint toward world-wide social revolution.

A DIVINELY IMPLANTED ENMITY

By Mrs. E. C. White

This Enmity the Open Door of Hope—The Struggle Is Bitter, but Complete Victory Assured

BY MRS. E. C. WHITE

“I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.” The divine sentence pronounced against Satan after the fall of man, was also a prophecy, embracing all the ages till the close of time, and foreshadowing the great conflict to engage all the races of men who should live upon the earth.

God declares, “I will put enmity.” This enmity is not naturally entertained. When man transgressed the divine law, his nature became evil, and he was in harmony, and not at variance, with Satan. There exists naturally no enmity between sinful man and the originator of sin. Both became evil through apostasy. The apostate is never at rest, except as he obtains sympathy and support by inducing others to follow his example. For this reason, fallen angels and wicked men unite in desperate companionship. Had not God specially interposed, Satan and man would have entered into an alliance against Heaven; and instead of cherishing enmity against Satan, the whole human family would have been united in opposition to God.

Satan tempted man to sin, as he had caused angels to rebel, that he might thus secure cooperation in his warfare against Heaven. There was no dissension between himself and the fallen angels as regards their hatred of Christ; while on all other points there was discord, they were firmly united in opposing the authority of the Ruler of the universe. But when Satan heard the declaration that enmity should exist between himself and the woman, and between his seed and her seed, he knew that his efforts to deprave human nature would be interrupted; that by some means man was to be enabled to resist his power.

Satan's enmity against the human race is kindled, because, through Christ, they are the objects of God's love and mercy. He desires to thwart the divine plan for man's redemption, to cast dishonor upon God, by defacing and defiling His handiwork. He would cause grief in heaven, and fill the earth with wo and desolation. And he points to all this evil as the result of God's work in creating man.

The Conqueror with Power from Above

It is the grace that Christ implants in the soul which creates in man enmity against Satan. Without this converting grace and renewing power, man would continue the captive of Satan, a servant ever ready to do his bidding. But the new principle in the soul creates conflict where hitherto had been peace. The power which Christ imparts, enables man to resist the tyrant and usurper. Whoever is seen to abhor sin instead of loving it, whoever resists and conquers those passions that have held sway within, displays the operation of a principle wholly from above.

The antagonism that exists between the Spirit of Christ and the spirit of Satan is most strikingly displayed in the world's reception of Jesus. It was not so much because He appeared without worldly wealth, pomp, or grandeur, that the Jews were led to reject Him. They saw that He possessed power which would more than compensate for the lack of these outward advantages. But the purity and holiness of Christ called forth against Him the hatred of the ungodly. His life of self-denial and sinless devotion was a perpetual reproof to a proud, sensual people. It was this that evoked enmity against the Son of God. Satan and evil angels joined with evil men. All the energies of apostasy conspired against the Champion of truth.

The same enmity is manifested toward Christ's followers, that was manifested toward their Master. Whoever sees the repulsive character of sin, and, in strength from above, resists temptation, will assuredly arouse the wrath of Satan and his subjects. Hatred of the pure principles of truth, and reproach and persecution of its advocates, will exist as long as sin and sinners remain. The followers of Christ and the servants of Satan can not harmonize. The offense of the cross has not ceased. “All that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.”

To Deceive, They Misconstrue and Pervert

Satan's agents are constantly working, under his direction, to establish his authority and build up his kingdom in opposition to the government of God. To this end, they seek to deceive Christ's followers, and allure them from their allegiance. Like their leader, they misconstrue and pervert the Scriptures to accomplish their object. As Satan endeavored to cast reproach upon God, so do his agents seek to malign God's people. The spirit which put Christ to death moves the wicked to destroy His followers. All this is foreshadowed in that first prophecy, “I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed.” And this will continue to the close of time.

Decisive and Determined Resistance

Satan summons all his forces, and throws his whole power into the combat. Why is it that he meets with no greater resistance? Why are the soldiers of Christ so sleepy and indifferent?—Because they have so little real connection with Christ; because they are so destitute of His Spirit. Sin is not to them repulsive and abhorrent, as it was to their Master. They do not meet it, as did Christ, with decisive and determined resistance. They do not realize the exceeding evil and malignity of sin, and they are blinded both to the character and the power of the prince of darkness. There is little enmity against Satan and his works, because there is so great ignorance concerning his power and malice and the vast extent of his warfare against Christ and His church. Multitudes are deluded here. They do not know that their enemy is a mighty general, who controls the minds of evil angels, and that with well-matured plans and skilful movements, he is warring against Christ to prevent the salvation of souls. Among professed Christians, and even among ministers of the gospel, there is heard scarcely a reference to Satan, except, perhaps, an incidental mention in the pulpit. They overlook the evidences of his continual activity and success; they neglect the many warnings of his subtlety; they seem to ignore his very existence.

While men are ignorant of his devices, this vigilant foe is upon their track every moment. He is intruding his presence in every department of the household, in every street of our cities, in the churches, in the national councils, in the courts of justice, perplexing, deceiving, seducing, everywhere ruining the souls and bodies of men, women, and children, breaking up families, sowing hatred, emulation, strife, sedition, murder. And the Christian world seems to regard these things as though God had appointed them and they must exist.

Breaking Down the Barriers

Satan is continually seeking to overcome the people of God by breaking down the barriers which separate them from the world. Ancient Israel were enticed into sin when they entered into forbidden association with the heathen. In a similar manner are modern Israel led astray. “The god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.” All who are not decided followers of Christ are servants of Satan. In the unregenerate heart there is love of sin, and a disposition to cherish and excuse it. In the renewed heart there is hatred of sin, and determined resistance against it. When Christians choose the society of the ungodly and unbelieving, they expose themselves to temptation. Satan conceals himself from view, and stealthily draws his deceptive covering over their eyes. They can not see that such company is calculated to do them harm, and while all the time assimilating to the world in character, words, and actions, they are becoming more and more blinded.

May Distress but Can Not Contaminate

While Satan is constantly seeking to blind their minds to the fact, let Christians never forget that they “wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against wicked spirits in high places.” The inspired warning is sounding down the centuries to our time, “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.” “Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.”

From the days of Adam to our own time, our great enemy has been exercising his power to oppress and destroy. He is now preparing for his last campaign against the church. All who seek

to follow Jesus will be brought into conflict with this relentless foe. The more nearly the Christian imitates the divine Pattern, the more surely will he make himself the mark for the attacks of Satan. All who are actively engaged in the cause of God, seeking to unveil the deceptions of the evil one and to present Christ before the people, will be able to join in the testimony of Paul, in which he speaks of serving the Lord with all humility of mind, with many tears and temptations.

Satan assailed Christ with his fiercest and most subtle temptations, but he was repulsed in every conflict. Those battles were fought in our behalf; those victories make it possible for us to conquer. Christ will give strength to all who seek it. No man, without his own consent, can be overcome by Satan. The tempter has no power to control the will or force the soul to sin. He may distress, but he can not contaminate. He can cause agony, but not defilement. The fact that Christ has conquered should inspire His followers with courage to fight manfully the battle against sin and Satan.

The Sure Mercies of David

By Francis Monroe Burg

Conditions of Pardon—God’s Love and Mercy Provide Complete Cleansing for the Repentant Sinner

By Francis Monroe Burg

The reader is invited to follow further the beautiful thoughts of the prophet in Isaiah, the fifty-fifth chapter. After speaking of David as God’s witness to His goodness and mercy toward men, the prophet continues: “Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and He will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon.” Verse 7. In connection with the assurance that God is willing to pardon freely, he points out the conditions on which the sinner may receive the blessings that are proffered. He must forsake his sins and all his ways, if pardon and freedom are to be enjoyed by him.

This condition of pardon is vitally important, and needs to be emphasized. The New Testament apostle states it in the following familiar language: “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” 1 John 1:9. This is how David received pardon for his guilt. He says: “I acknowledged my sin unto Thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgression unto the Lord; and Thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin.” Ps. 32:5.

The goodness of God that offers forgiveness for sins, should lead to repentance. Rom. 2:4. This result does follow, for nothing will so tender the heart and lead to deep sorrow and regret for sin as will the readiness of God to pardon and receive.

God says, through the same prophet, that He is waiting to be gracious to His people, and that He will be exalted in showing mercy to them. He is waiting to hear their cry and their supplication, and then He will answer them. Isa. 30:18, 19. As already shown, He will “abundantly pardon.”

Continuing in chapter fifty-five, Isaiah says: “My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, saith the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.” Verses 8, 9. We are not to measure Jehovah’s dealings with men by human standards. Finite minds can not grasp nor fathom the infinite love of His great heart.

“There’s a wideness in God’s mercy, Like the wideness of the sea; There’s a kindness in His justice, Which is more than liberty.”

Finite, mortal man, measuring God by himself, often refuses to extend mercy, or even toleration, toward his fellow man who may have fallen into some “horrible pit.” He allows him no place for repentance even; and if he were to be judge to determine his neighbor’s destiny, the neighbor would have very little hope.

Men often refuse to tolerate David. Some of them to-day, as of old, taunt him, saying “Aha, aha.” Ps. 40:15; 70:3. God, however, heard his cry and saw his tears. He forgave his sins, and honored him above his fellows who so mercilessly reviled him.

We should be thankful to God that His dealings with sinful men are not according to human standards. Isaiah says of the Messiah who was to come:

“He shall not judge after the sight of His eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of His ears: but with righteousness shall He judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth.” Chapter 11:3, 4.

We may have some surprises awaiting us if we reach the kingdom of God. We may find some people there that we did not look for; and others may not be there whom we expected to see. Reader, will we be there? Only as we see ourselves the “chief of sinners,” and, with David, repent in tears (Ps. 42:3), and, as he did, confess our guilt before God and accept His forgiving grace, can we hope to be there. Then with David, and with every other fellow man who has repented and believed for pardon, we will join in the anthem of thanksgiving to our Redeemer till all creation is vibrant with the song of praise.

Volumes might be written telling the love of God to men, and then we would not have begun.

“God, who is rich in mercy, for His great love wherewith He loved us, even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) and hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.” Eph. 2:4-7.

So in all the glad, eternal years, the subjects of grace will swell the great anthem of praise to Him that loved them, and who washed them from their sins in His own blood. Like David, the sinner “saved by grace” is even here so full of praise and gratefulness, that time seems all too short to give expression to his soul’s emotions; and though using his voice and all instruments of music in praise to his Redeemer, and calling upon the hills and the mountains and the very floods to join him, he longs for the eternal years, that he may spend them in endless praise and thanksgiving.

“O that men would praise the Lord for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children of men!” Ps. 107:8, 15, 21, 31.

“Praise ye the Lord. Praise God in the sanctuary: praise Him in the firmament of His power. Praise Him for His mighty acts: praise Him according to His excellent greatness. Praise Him with the sound of the trumpet: praise Him with the psaltery and harp. Praise Him with the timbrel and pipe: praise Him with stringed instruments and organs. Praise Him upon the loud cymbals: praise Him upon the high-sounding cymbals. Let everything that hath breath praise the Lord.” Psalm 150.

God’s Cleansing Mercy to Sinners

By Editor

THIS is the third independent article that Elder Burg has given on the “sure mercies” of God in cleansing a man from the blackest dyes of sin. David committed some of the most shocking sins and crimes, yet his repentance was so humble and so thorough that the Lord completely cleansed him. His case is used, in all these articles, as a striking example of what God can do for a sinner. We have still two more articles on this helpful theme. EDITOR.

Hear Ye Him

By A. M. Dart

“And behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye Him.”

WHEN presenting the binding claims of the fourth commandment, we are frequently referred to this text of Scripture with seeming assurance that this relegates the Sabbath to bygone days. But consider a moment, dear reader. The text is found in Matt. 17:5. The occasion of its utterance was the transfiguration of our Lord in the presence of three of His disciples. The dark days of Calvary were just before the Saviour, and He greatly desired that His followers should understand His mission, and be strengthened for the severe trial occasioned by His death. This was the subject of the conversation of Jesus, Moses, and Elias on the mount; for they “spake of His decease which He should accomplish at Jerusalem.” Luke 9:31.

Now, rather than being anything against the scriptures that support the Sabbath, the text confirms them; for would they “hear Him” and be strengthened for Calvary’s scenes, they must give heed to His voice through Moses and the prophets. “Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them [the prophets] did signify, when it [Christ’s Spirit] testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow.” 1 Peter 1:11.

“Then He took unto Him the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished.” Luke 18:31. “Hear ye Him” further, dear reader: “Had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed Me: for he wrote of Me. But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe My words?” John 5:46, 47. It was Moses who, by the Spirit of Christ, some fifteen hundred years before that utterance on the mount of transfiguration, said, “The Lord thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto Him ye shall harken.” Deut. 18:15.

Much more might be said; but we have no objections to “hearing Jesus” on the Sabbath and all other questions. It was His voice that spoke the holy law which contains the Sabbath. A. M. DART.
