d administered by men of truth, unselfishness, and honour.
Unless there be such, then the mastery of capital will be only
succeeded by the tyranny of the mob. None asks how such men are to be
found. The hope of the new world lies not so much in better machinery
as in better men. The men in the Cabinets adjusting the map of the
world and the men in the shipyards and the mines are alike in this,
that they forget that man's supreme need is regeneration and not
reorganisation.

It is on that ultimate fact--that the supreme need of the day is a new
spirit--that the Church seeks to fix the attention of the nation. The
Church has only one purpose--to make God blaze forth once more before
the eyes of men. In that alone lies the salvation of the future. The
great host of the toilers may adopt the watchword 'Brotherhood,' but
that is only half a truth. A brotherhood that knows nothing of a
common fatherhood will not stand the day of strain. The Church
therefore proclaims the full truth that the brotherhood of men only
realises itself in the Fatherhood of God. To the nations seeking a
unity by way of parchments, the Church must also proclaim that there
can be only one ultimate unity for nations--the only unity that will
stand all strain--the unity of the Spirit. The Church has the one
message for warring nations and for warring classes: 'One is your
Master, even Christ, and all ye are brethren.' The Church alone can
bring home to the hearts of men that the way of honour is that of
service, and the path of greatness that of sacrifice. Looking back on
that long road by which humanity has marched forward even to this hour,
it is strange to think how the great days on which the epochs turned
have not been the days of mammon-worship or of military glory, but the
days on which the Cross suddenly blazed forth in the heavens, as it did
to Constantine, when the summons rang--'By this sign conquer.' It was
then that men set their faces to climb upward, realising that the
greatest thing a man can do with his life is to lay it down. And not
by a cross blazing in heaven, but by millions of crosses round which
the winds moan and sigh on earth, does God summon us to-day. It is
that summons the Church would sound. By the spirit of self-sacrifice,
by the law of love--by these alone can the world be saved.

The remedy for every woe on earth is the one commandment--'Love one
another, as I have loved you.' It is so
