Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from They Must: Or God and the Social Democracy, a Frank Word to Christian Men and Women
The economic life of man, the political life of man, the religious life of man-these three are the main lines which make u-p the unceasing march of the hu man race called history; and it is the form and charac ter of these three activities, primarily of the economic, secondarily of the political and religious, which de termine the varying degrees of welfare or misery that are the lot of the human race, generation by genera tion.
As, from the vantage ground of our'own generation, we look back and then with ardent desire peer forward, everyone who has a mind hopeful and unshackled, feels sure of so much as this: that the human race will in time find the law of harmony for its economic life, the law of harmony for its political life, the law of harmony for its religious life, and will subject itself fully to these laws. This means that instead of the discord and cross purposes which now rule industry and business and which have always ruled them, will finally come the fullness of co-operation when there shall be no more tug of war, but all shall be pulling to one end. It means also a like stable reconciliation of elements now struggling in the field of statecraft, and it means a similar peace in the domain of religion.
