be repaired and stand just as they stood before. The time has come when something more than mere repair and restoration of the old is necessary. The old must die and a new must come forth out of its tomb. It is not going to be enough that the strong should once more grow kinder and the weak grow humbler.

The balance and distribution of strength and weakness is being altered, must be altered more and more.

The sources of artificial strength and artificial weakness are being dried up. Governors and governed, employers and employed, are coming to be coworkers for the same ends. Not the old mercies repeated, but new mercies going vastly deeper than the old—these are what men are beginning to see that the world is needing.

And when the Eternal Word speaks, all mankind must listen, must obey. It is the law and the prophets. LILLIAN WHITING. —From the Boston Transcript, January 9, 1934.
