...agree that labor and capital must continue to be partners, each dependent on the other. Yet even the failure of the iron workers in their experiment will bring partial success: for both sides in dispute will have learned to know each other.

And it is an increasing satisfaction to know about the problems which beset all ranges of human experience and to touch life form every angle at every period of its development. For one who has once known the joys of the Christian ministry, there is no other form of human activity that can be compared with it in the extent of its influence or in the solid and enduring...
