FROM OUR EXCHANGES

with contributions from Lilla B. N. Weston, Frank Oliver Hall

[Continent.]

"Business is business," "politics is politics," "religion is religion," are not talismanic aphorisms written over three separate and independent parts of human every-day life. A religious man should shape his business and his politics by the tenets of his religion. Religion in business? Yes! absolutely. Religion in politics? Yes! equally absolutely. On this threefold union must rest the future of the American republic. "In God we trust" must be not only a legend upon a coin, but a controlling fact in individual life.

What is the condition that we as a people are facing today? Unrest, dissatisfaction with existing conditions, and absolute distrust of men in their political professions who in private life display irreproachable character, are felt everywhere. On all sides one can hear it said, "We do not know whom to trust;" "We have lost our leaders;" "There is no imminent need made plain. We need something, but we do not know what." All these utterances are true, and they are true because religion has been remanded to a corner of life and has been told to remain there quietly until called out for a Sabbath, or for a dedication of a church, or for a funeral.
