Signs of the Times

with contributions from Joseph Fort Newton

[Pittsburgh (Pa.) Leader]

A warning given by the Rt. Rev. Charles Henry Brent, D. D., Episcopal bishop of western New York, against the use of physical force in attempts at adjusting social problems, is wise in its ethical terms and especially so in its timeliness. The bishop advises that we do not need the utilization of the centuries' old doctrine of physical force to apply to new perils, new opportunities, new tasks. What we do need, the bishop wisely remarks, is new vision to deal with new problems, for they are new in spite of their appearance of age. The conditions from which they grow are old, but the questions, the difficulties themselves, are new and demand the cautious use of new vision to handle them in the right way.
