ETHICAL LAW.
IGNORED BY MANUFACTURERS. PROGRESS OF SCIENCE. BY GABLE —PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT LONDON, July 11. Lord Leverhulme, in a remarkable lecture at Liverpool, said men of science, once freed from the thraldom of the churches and the wrong interpretation and maladministration of the Bible, had done more in the last two centuries to raise the level of mankind’s comfort and happiness than the Church had achieved in all previous centuries.
Though religion had not kept pace with scientific achievements, still less had industrialists kept pace with religion, lie added. Manufacturers did not ignore natural or economic laws, but they were ignoring the ethical law's of the Sermon of the Mount. They considered it good business to give the poor working conditions and the lowest wages, and on Hie other hand trade unions seemed to imagine that short hours, a small output and high -wages w r as good business, but ignoring the ethical law's. Service to o.thers w T ns the only true road to happiness.
