THROUGH THE PROGRESS
OF CHRISTIANITY
The world is now enjoying a new
era in education, art, and progress
We are bound together in friendship,
brotherhood, and abiding faith. The
people of different races have found
that they can't live to themselves
alone. More and more we find the
power of Christianity reaching out to
all people. We find that wherever it
has gone, there is peace, prosperity,
brotherhood, and happiness.
In the middle ages superstition
was on every hand. The principles of
government were founded upon it. It
governed the laws of that age. Even
the mode of trials was based on it.
The defendant was made to carry
hot irons, dip his hands in boiling
water, and many other foolish things.
If this caused no ill effects the de
»
fendant was freed.
Upon the coming of Christianity
we find that such things were thrown
away and the mode of trials was
based on a more intelligent and en
during basis. The priniples of
government were made sound and
free for the people, by its influence.
Again we find that the main cause
of the fall of the Roman Empire was
the coming of the Barbarians and
destroying literature, art, etc. On
the other hand, when the power of
Christianity was spread among these
hords they became a civilized and
powerful people. They changed from
Barbarians to friends, from warriors
to peace-makers, and were soon
known as a God fearing people.
Let us look at conditions in China.
A large part of China has never
been christianized and we find that
China is one of the most ignorant
and helpless countries in the world.
A country in which no one wishes to
live except the Chinese and they
are coAiing to the United States as
fast as the laws will permit.
In the meantime, the United States
THE FOREST CITY COURIER, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1928
is one of the greatest nations in the
world, and at the same time, ranlp
second in power. The United States
was founded upon the basis of Chris
tianity. Our pilgrim fathers came to
this land as christians, and Chris
tianity has played an important part
every since the first pilgrim set his
foot upon the American soil and
said, "My Country tis of thee, sweet
land of liberty, of thee I sing."
There was once a time when the
people studied nothing but war;
when the Empires and nations had
nothing in their hearts but revenge.
Now, every country gives welcome to
any person who wishes to come to
her land and share in her blessings
of Christianity. Since Christianity
has been given to every land, love
and brotherhood prevail. Now an
American can go to Turkey, Italy,
or any other European country and
be safe as if he were under National
care.
Christianity has played a most im
portant part in progress. The foun
dation of progress was founded upon
christian principles. Before its com
ing we had no influential christian
schools, we had nothing in the way
of communication.
Christianity is something we can
admire; something we can rely upon
in the time of trouble; something al
ways by our skle even though our
friends have forsaken us. It is said
that infany is taught it by maternal
lips; that laborers can look upon it
in the midst of their toils and be
happy; that old and withered age can
think of it in his last days and be
