Many men prominent in scoiat,
political and industrial Ills today
look npon the new yesr to bring
in better progress in religion,
business and morals. Prominent
smong these persons is Rev. Dr.
Russell H. Con well, president of
Temple University and pastor of
the Baptist Temple in Philadelphia.
Busine s men feel that the oonntry will go ahead under stsble
conditions which promote confidence wbich was in a measure
brought about by tbe re-election
of' President Coolidge. Tbe
United States chamber of'commerce reports increase tn msny
of the lines of business whieh
have lain dormant since the tn
Hated war times. Close at hand
are instances where industry is
again getting on tbe right road
and where unemployment is not
so keenly felt as it Was several
months ago.
Dr. Oonwell say; "We may
look for better morals in 1925 because tbs country seems to be on
the right thrack. In recent years
we have passed through a period
Ween people believed that persons
could be made good and law abiding simply by putting a law on
tbe statute books. Bat today
public opinion is swinging back
to the old fashion nd method of
of moral suasion, wbiob is the
is the only to make people right
eous.
Tbe general conditon of the
country np through 1924 was regarded by a great many as being
tba aftermath of the terribla
World War aud it is generally
thought that that period is about
olosed and tbe new year will see
a return to the normal state of
affairs.
